CAIR's Dubai Sugar Daddy
front page magazine ^ | 01 March 2006 | Paul Sperry

Posted on 03/01/2006 4:34:06 AM PST by unionblue83

When the Council on American-Islamic Relations parrots White House talking points, you know there's something very wrong inside the Beltway.

CAIR spokesman Arsalan Iftikhar agrees there's no reason to get in a lather over the United Arab Emirates taking over just about every major shipping terminal along our Eastern Seaboard. The UAE is harmless, and if you're alarmed about the deal, well, you're an Islamophobe caught up in the post-9/11 "industry of fear."

"What's important to understand here is that all this is doing is demonizing the entire world Muslim population," Iftikhar complained on MSNBC.

And besides, he says the UAE won't have anything to do with port security -- not that it matters if they did. "We have to clarify a few things here," he asserted, sounding more like a White House spokesman. "First of all, none of these port security operations are being given over to this country. The Department of Homeland Security is still going to have full autonomy when it comes to security at the ports."

Its been long understood, CAIR is a US front group for Islamic jihad. This Dubai Ports World deal has opened a can of worms and revealed some disturbing information about how our government is interacting with foreign goverments in the ME whose citizens remain hardcore Islamic "jihadists". Outside of Israel, the US has no friends in the ME. Whether some ME nationstates are considered allies of the US government, is highly questionable in my opinion.

This is a clear-cut case of "if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem." Until Islam cleans its house up and honest Muslims cooperate to end this then they are all suspect at best.

Everyone should take a good look at the "network" and ask "is this deal endangering America?" We obviously have "leaders" who don't care. Our security has been intentionally sold out and entrusted to the enemy.

This is leadership??

Interesting chart. Grover Norquists Islamic Institute should be at the top of the enabler list.

Now, go take a look at the photos at post 24 from the rally at UC Irvine where the muhammud cartoons were shown.(Mecha tshirts? - most of them look latino)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1587253/posts

The minutmen rallies usually have some burka clad people show up. Anyone who hasn't figured out that the radical islamists and the open border lobby/lovers of illegal aliens are aligned against us all just doesn't want to see it.

I think this open border/amnesty deal is more for the benefit of illegal Muslims than Mexicans.

I read in an article the other day (I'll try to find it) that many Mexicans are adopting the Muslim religion.

Open borders, already vulnerable ports that are being sold out to the UAE, illegal alien free-for-all...etc.

Bush said something about "you're either with us or against us in the war on terror". I think he should ask himself that very question. Somehow it sure feels like he's NOT with us!

He has put the final nail in the coffin of the GOP with his insanity.

And think about it: If UAE leaders were friends with bin Laden enough to hunt with him before 9/11, why would they suddenly become our friends after 9/11? They wouldn't, of course, and they aren't. And CAIR, whose real agenda is to Islamize America, isn't either. So no one should care what the hell it thinks on the subject. Just as we shouldn't trade with the enemy, we shouldn't legitimize the terror-tied groups they bankroll.

BTTT for the TRUTH!

I think we would rather buy theirs than tap into our own reserve.

where was this outrage when Clinton was closing bases and handing the Panama Canal over to the Chinese? Where was this outrage when he sold our satellite technology to the Chinese? Where was this outrage when Los Alamos was handed over to Cal Berkley?

Actually, on the right, everyone except the neocons was very upset about all those things.

The only difference is that now the libs are joining conservatives in opposing this deal because a Republican president is behind it.

The conservatives, however, are being perfectly consistent.

and this--

Here's the real money quote from the Dick Morris column that was posted earlier today at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1593000/posts regarding the Clintons' relationship with the UAE:

Bill is, after all, a regular in Dubai. The crown prince — that is, the government — contributed to his presidential library and pays him $300,000 per speech. Recently, Yucaipa, an American company that has Bill Clinton as a “senior adviser” and pays him a percentage of its profits, formed a partnership with the Dubai Investment Group to form DIGL Inc., a company dedicated to managing the sheik’s personal investments.


If BJ is deeply involved in a "company dedicated to managing the sheik’s personal investments," he and the Witch will be receiving millions of dollars of income in the following years from that very company. In other words, if she's elected President, the President of the United States will be on the Dubai payroll due to BJ's involvement in managing the sheik's personal investments. Her denunciation of the ports deal is nothing but cover for this raging, continuing conflict of interest. If the Pubbies can't take advantage of this, they can't take advantage of anything.
