Why Has CPAC Banned All Panels About Islam?
Politichicks ^ | March 12, 2013 | Ann-Marie Murrell

Posted on 03/13/2013 12:22:27 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

For anyone going to the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), I’m sure by now you’re aware that there will be no panels conducted regarding the threat of Islam this year.  All of our leading experts on IslamRobert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Frank Gaffney and others–have been banned from speaking and/or holding panels.

Unfortunately, many Conservatives still aren’t aware that two of the most influential organizers of CPAC—seemingly innocuous tax guru Grover Norquist and former aide in the Bush administration Suhail Khan—are fighting together to eliminate any dissenting voices about the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.  Why is this?

Last year, I personally learned firsthand that no one—not even a simple blogger like me—is allowed to even question the threat of Islam in America at CPAC.  In a very small panel moderated by Suhail Khan, I asked him about his previous year’s statement at CPAC, in which he told the press, “There is no Muslim Brotherhood in America.” I reminded Khan that the Muslim Brotherhood via CAIR has said, “Yes, we are here in America”, along with four federal U.S. judges who also declared the same.  So when I asked Khan if he wanted to retract his very dangerous statement–which I believe is the same as telling someone there aren’t any snakes in a room full of snakes—without answering my question, I was asked to leave the conference room and I was ridiculed by Khan and his followers.

For the record, educating Americans about Islam and Sharia has nothing to do with being “anti-Muslim” or any type of bigotry, as both Khan and Norquist have accused their opposers as being.  This is about public awareness and understanding who our enemy really is–and burying our heads in the sand about the very real influence of Islam in America will not protect us from those ‘thousand paper cuts from within’.

This week my PolitiChick co-anchor Morgan Brittany and I will be reporting from CPAC and we will not allow this blacklisting of our foremost American experts on Islam to go unnoticed.  For all bloggers and videographers who are attending, I hope you’ll join us in asking our Conservative leaders the following questions over and over:

  1. Why, in your opinion, aren’t there any panels on the threat of Islam this year?  In light of the takeover of the Middle East by the Muslim Brotherhood, not to mention 9/11/01 and 9/11/12 isn’t it one of the most important topics we can discuss at a Conservative convention?
  2. Why are our leading American experts on Islam—including Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller and Frank Gaffney–banned from speaking this year?
  3. Rep. Michele Bachmann, Rep. Louis Gohmert (TX), Trent Franks (AZ), Lynn Westmoreland (GA) and Thomas Rooney (FLA) conducted an investigation into the Muslim Brotherhood penetration of the Washington policy-making chain.  Without looking into the facts presented, the investigation was silenced by both the Left and the Right.  Why?
  4. If we’re not allowed to discuss the threat of Islam and creeping Sharia at a Conservative convention, what chance do we have to fight it?

Below is the PolitiChicks episode regarding my confrontation with Khan at CPAC last year, followed by a transcript of the exchange (with apologies for the audio):

A-M: Last year you said there is no Muslim Brotherhood in the United States but the Muslim Brotherhood themselves have said that 29 Muslim-American organizations are–they describe them as being ‘our organizations and the organizations of our friends. These include the Islamic Society of North America; the Council on American Islamic Relations; the North American Islamic Trust and four federal judges have confirmed that these organizations are friends of the Muslim Brotherhood. So do you stand by your statement that there is no Muslim Brotherhood in America?

Suhail: Ma’am what this panel is about is conservative inclusion…

A-M: Should they [the Muslim Brotherhood] be included in conservative politics?

Woman on front row: That’s not what this is about!

Suhail: That’s not what this panel’s about so if you want to take up those questions with other people you can. We’re here to talk about conservative message Americans so if your group, and other Alinsky-like factions—I can see where you come from.

Woman on front row: Please leave!

“That’s so easy, “Money” has changed hands and influance has been bought. “

And they have hijacked the Tea party label, imo, to destroy it. http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/2013/03/all-tea-party-groups-are-not-created.html
It’s not by accident that Grover Norquist, who wrote the Bush amnesty and destroyed every immigration reform ever made is in league with CPAC, ACU who is headed by Cuban born Al Cardenas, another AMNESTY pusher.

Would you like to know what Al Cardenas, the head of the ACU (American Conservative Union) and one of the powers that be at CPAC think about the Gang of 8’s Amnesty??

Ready???

“Statement from ACU Chairman Al Cardenas on Immigration Legislation

Published: January 28, 2013
Contact: Laura Rigas, (202) 347-9388, lrigas@conservative.org

“It seems that a growing number of Democrats & Republicans in Congress have found common ground on agreed-upon principles for immigration reform.

Congratulations to both sides of the aisle in forging a responsible framework today. Difficult days lay ahead in working out specifics on the legislation itself, but the Senate is off to a good start and I encourage the House to follow suit.”[snip]

This is an excellent series. Each video is approximately 2 hours long. There are two more videos to follow. COPY these videos and distribute it to all your church members, friends and family.

Yes.

A Freeper (don’t know who) sometimes posts a picture of a Crusading knight in full chain mail-—a Knight Templar, I think. I love that particular graphic. They knew how to deal with the Muslim problem.

This is an important story.

The main national conservative conference has been infiltrated and taken over.

I hope conservatives can abandon CPAC and start a new one

Grover Norquist’s troubling ties to Islamic supremacists and jihadists have been known for years. He and his Palestinian wife, Samah Alrayyes, are very active in Muslim outreach. Just six weeks after 9/11, Norquist arranged for George W. Bush to meet with fifteen Islamic supremacists at the White House on September 26, 2001 .

Frank Gaffney prepared a dossier on Norquist and Suhail Khan, The article is titled “A Jihadist in the Heart of the Conservative Movement.”

That is the ONLY way to deal with the Muslim Problem.

Accomodation with Islam is like a sheep accomodating a wolf.

Now...more on that hijacking of the tea party by Grover Norquist and his ‘community organizing’ lobbyist friends.

Here’s the last $$$ raising email I got...several EVERY day.
Here teaparty.net (NOrquist/CPAC’s organization..NOT the tea party) is using Scottie Nell Hughes name to raise funds, as if she is some poor picked on citizen. She is one of the people running TPNN...(tea party news network) another of Grover, et al’s entities to raise money for HIM, not the grass roots tea party. The phony TP groups...teaparty.net & TPNN have ‘offices’ in DC....same office for both....are actually ‘virtual’ offices...in other words, a mailing address per open secrets.

[snip]SECURITY THREAT ! The left has begun ramping up their hate-filled attacks on our own Scottie Nell Hughes and we must do what we can to protect her. It is incredible how vile, hate filled and disgusting the comments this young wife and mother has been the target of simply for supporting our Second Amendment Rights. With these increased threats, we must raise $75,000 to beef up security and make sure that she remains safe. Will you help us HERE?(here takes you to a donation page, as does ALL their emails.)

THEY WANT YOU TO SEND THEM MONEY FOR ‘SECURITY’, which will be used to keep you or anyone questioning their Islamist, open border agenda!

More of the email: This is a big week for the Tea Party movement as we are a partner at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC)! We have put together an unbelievable lineup including top conservative leaders and activists, designed to energize and inspire Americans before the next election cycle! The left understands that this activism is a direct threat to their continued corruption and we have heard that they plan to disrupt and harm our activities at CPAC!
