Purported non Muslim Barack Hussein Obama made a presidential appointment of Muslim Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Arif Alikhan for a top job at the federal Department of Homeland Security. In his new job, Arif Alikhan will be Assistant Secretary for the Office of Policy Development at the Department of Homeland Security. Alikhan has been Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles--in charge of public safety for the city.
Why Muslim Alikhan at the Department of Homeland Security you might ask? DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said Alikhan’s “broad and impressive array of experience in national security, emergency preparedness, and counterterrorism will make him an asset”--yes, but on behalf of the U.S. or Muslims? I am not sure what she is talking about and she probably doesn’t know either. www.indiawest.com/readmore.aspx?id=1132&Sid=1
Alikhan says a big part of his job will be fostering communication between agencies. Alikhan, like Obama, also wants to help improve America’s image with Muslims around the world. He will now set policy on security at the highest levels of the federal government. But what policies has the new Assistant Secretary embraced?
During his years in Los Angeles, Alikhan was responsible for derailing the Police Department’s plan to monitor activities within the Los Angeles Muslim community, where numerous radical mosques and madrassas existed, and where some of the 9/11 hijackers had received support from local residents.
Alikhan is strongly anti-Israel; he has referred to the terrorist organization Hezbollah as a “liberation movement.” Hezbollah is on the U.S. official terrorist list while being an affiliate of the Muslim Public Affairs Council. Alikhan also opposed President George W. Bush’s prosecution of the war on Islamic terror.
In 2007, Alikhan was instrumental in removing the Muslim terror tracking plan in Los Angeles. The Muslim '‘Mapping’' Plan of the Los Angeles Police Department is now “dead on arrival” according to Chief William Bratton. “It is over and not just put on the side,” said Chief Bratton in a meeting with the Muslim leadership of Southern California at that time. The meeting was moderated by Arif Alikhan.
Chief Bratton acknowledged the hurt and offense caused to Muslims and agreed to send a letter to the Muslim community announcing the official termination of the ‘'mapping’' plan.
A major reason for the termination of the '‘mapping’' plan was the Muslim community’s vociferous opposition and active civic engagement in making themselves heard beyond Los Angeles. Muslim organizations demonstrated a strong unity of purpose and message on the issue of ‘'mapping’' that led to a position of strength for Muslims in the meeting. Those involved in the initial phases of this controversy were the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California http://www.shuracouncil.org/ and the Council on American-Islamic Relations http://www.cair.com/ , the Muslim Public Affairs arm.
Muslim Democrats welcomed Alikhan’s appointment at a banquet/fundraiser for the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California recently where the first speaker was Arif Alikhan, a devout Sunni and the son of Pakistani immigrants, www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,505573,00 .
Other speakers included Professor Agha Saeed of the American Muslim Task Force (AMT) who spoke about “the struggle of the Muslim Community against the pervasive atmosphere of Islamophobia and hatred in the aftermath of 9/11. It was a struggle against the tide--a very strong tide--to prevent Muslims in America from being marginalized and silenced.”
Professor Saeed issued five demands from Muslims to the Department of Justice. These demands included a cessation to the infiltration by spies of mosques and an end to the introduction of agents provocateur. In addition there was to be a cessation of attempts to undermine Muslim groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Un-indicted co-conspirator CAIR was thrilled at the appointment: www.us4arabs.com/content/view/1590/31/
Last week, Napolitano swore in Damascus-born Kareem Shora, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC)’s national executive director, to a position on the Homeland Security Advisory Council, an outside-the-department group of national security experts that advises the Secretary. Shora is the first Arab rights advocate on the panel. Shora has with ties to terror backers www.creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/06another-jihad-nominee-atdept-of-homeland-security/
One may wonder how does an obscure (but Democrat) bureaucrat and devout Muslim come to the position of Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles--in charge of public safety for the city and now becomes Assistant Secretary to DHS under purported non Muslim Democrat President Barack Hussein Obama?
No, they've got it backwards. MUSLIMS need to improve THEIR image with US!!!!
ROFLMAO. You really are a jerk.
“ROFLMAO. You really are a jerk.”
I’m not the one using this site to express sentiments like the president’s “days are numbered” and then expect people to believe you meant his term in office, “hflynn”. If you get asked about your post, be sure you tell your questioners that. It will help you! :)
YES!! YES!! YES!! Because their "religion" (which is REALLY a political movement) demands that the Koran be the law of the land! Muslims have NO business being here in the U.S., as they will NEVER accept the Constitution.
Good response......
But, to most RINO's and those other things living in CT, "facts" are rarely relevant. Particularly those facts that support anti-statist or anti-Marxist positions.
Here is my sign:
AMERICA’S IMAGE TO MUSLIMS IS NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAT MY CHILDREN’S LIVES.
We aren’t talking about a muslim nation; we are talking about whether an American who is a professing Muslim should be denied employment with the government in a DHS capacity.
In my opinion, they should be evaluated on their individual merits, and not judged unfit because of their religion.
We should oppose people for what they have done. That he is muslim isn’t surprising given what he has done, but it is the deeds that disqualify him, not his religion. In My Opinion.
That’s my bad. I wasn’t defending the man, I was discussing the suggestion that the problem with him was his religion, rather than his actions. I should have made that clear.
Joe, all I can tell you is it's been a brutal day. But that my FRiend cracked me up. Thank you.:)
No, I am not kidding. And as I know muslims who work for defense contractors, muslims who are in the military, muslims who worked for DHS, muslims who are police officers, and I have no problem with any of them doing what they do, my opinion is not just theoretical.
I understand that there are people who believe we should ban muslims from these positions. I disagree.
Not to compare muslims and catholics in any substantive way, but the Catholic church has a serious political component, complete with a city which gets honorary ambassadors from other nations.
No. Nor would I want a member of the Nation of Islam.
Then here is another message for ya. Say your piece to heaven, man, because if you can defend this in any way, any way at all, then your judgement comes not from me. I am, after all, a mere mortal.

Unfortunately, this list of Muslim terrorist attacks barely scratches the surface of atrocities committed in the name of Islam that occur world-wide each day. For that reason, we don’t tally up the dead and dismembered, except on a weekly and monthly basis.
“O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who
are near to you, and let them find harshness in you,
and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty”
Qur’an, Sura 9:123
“The spread of Islam was military. There is a tendency to
apologize for this and we should not. It is one of the
injunctions of the Qur’an that you must fight to spread Islam.”
Dr. Ali Issa Othman, Islamic Scholar
I don’t live in CT. The CT is not a state abbreviation.
“Will you admit that not all Germans are Adolf Hitler; and not all Muslims are Islamic terrorists?”
Sure. OF COURSE all Germans are not Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler was NOT German. But I forget, I am a dimwit. And you are the smartest poster on FR. Yeah, you are.
As for the second part, after your ; , I will readily agree that not all muslims are islamic terrorists if YOU will agree that not all islamic terrorists are muslims.
And I will also suggest to you that every muslim is either related to, or KNOWS a terrorist. Beyond that, they dare NOT disobey what their “religion” teaches or they will be the ones terrorized, maybe killed.
Anyone who hold any position that a terrorist thinks they can exploit will be told what to do, and if they refuse, you will never see them again. Such is sharia. And sharia trumps everything, including good intentions.
THAT is why islam should be banned.
The problem is his actions. He has made no secret of where his loyalties lie. There is no way this side of Eden this person should be given a position in an agency that is supposed to be defending the United States.
Moreover, have you not seen how muslims try to inject their “religion” into places they work, schools they attend, trying to force their culture on the public in places they live, footbaths in colleges the taxpayers fund, loudspeakers broadcasting their prayers over neighborhoods that are not muslim?
Everywhere they go and everywhere they work they have either sued, or threatened to sue, to get the special accomodations THEY want, and NO INFIDELS, (read taxpayers/other employees,) are allowed anywhere near them. That goes for Firemen, Policemen, Hospital Staff, assembly line workers, day laborers, store clerks, et al.
The Imams recruit in ALL of our prisons, but they can’t DO anything about it because of their “freedom of religion.”
Political correctness and not understanding what we face will get you dead.
