What is shameful is that you've failed to see the facts in this case.

"And, by the way, what proof has been offered and what, exactly, has been proven?"

This. (From the article you supposedly read)

"Grover’s own Islamic Institute was initially financed by one of the most notorious of these operatives, Abdurahman Alamoudi, a supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah who told the Annual Convention of the Islamic Association of Palestine in 1996, “If we are outside this country we can say ‘Oh, Allah destroy America.’ But once we are here, our mission in this country is to change it.”

Fact: "Grover appointed Alamoudi’s deputy, Khaled Saffuri to head his own organization. Together they gained access to the White House for Alamoudi and Sami al-Arian and others with similar agendas who used their cachet to spread Islamist influence to the American military and the prison system and the universities and the political arena with untold consequences for the nation."

Fact: Alamoudi is in jail now, as is al-Arian...terror charges.

If you read the article in its entirety, along with the linked articles, you would agree that: "On the basis of the evidence assembled here, it seems beyond dispute that Grover Norquist has formed alliances with prominent Islamic radicals who have ties to the Saudis and to Libya and to Palestine Islamic Jihad, and who are now under indictment by U.S. authorities. Equally troubling is that the arrests of these individuals and their exposure as agents of terrorism have not resulted in noticeable second thoughts on Grover’s part or any meaningful effort to dissociate himself from his unsavory friends."

Fact: "The investment began when Alamoudi wrote two personal checks (a $10,000 loan and what appears to be a $10,000 gift) to help found Norquist’s Islamic Institute.9 In addition, Alamoudi made payments in 2000 and 2001 totaling $50,000 to Janus-Merritt Strategies, a lobbying firm with which Norquist was associated at the time."

"The fact remains that: "Hence, in addition to the seed money from Alamoudi, the Islamic Institute has also received funding from organizations described by the Washington Post as a “secretive group of tightly connected Muslim charities, think tanks and businesses based in Northern Virginia [and] used to funnel millions of dollars to terrorists and launder millions more” – a number of whom are currently part of the “largest federal investigation of terrorism financing in the world."

This is important PDR: " while Grover has denied the charges or sought to dismiss them with such arguments on many occasions, he has never answered them."

No, he hasn't. He can't refute the evidence. Smear job? No, more like caught in the act.

Fact: Americans for Tax Reform shared office space with Norquist's Islamic Insitute.

"No one reading this document to its bitter end will confuse its claims and confirming evidence with those of a political cat fight."

Except you, PDR. Of course, when it behooves ones' purpose it is always easier to ignore and deny...but the facts contradict the denials.

"Norquist engaged in an effort to bring observant Muslims into the conservative coalition. No more, no less."

You must be joking...could you really be so ignorant? AMC, ISNA, CAIR, MPAC, AMA....do you realize what and who these groups are?!!!! You really do need to do your homework...

Unless, of course, you sympathize with the radical muslim agenda.
