Islamic pro-terror groups reacted to the Hamas terror attacks of Oct 7 not only with riots and public pressure campaigns aimed at politicians, but also by privately meeting with top federal and state law enforcement officials to demand that they lock up Jewish political opponents.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center’s investigative arm exclusively reported last month that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an Islamist group whose leader had celebrated Oct 7, had been meeting with attorney generals around the country trying to convince them to arrest journalists and activists who had been investigating and exposing Hamas supporters.
Based on our past history with CAIR, the Freedom Center could be one of their targets.
Now, the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), has been caught meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland and senior Department of Justice (DOJ) officials, including FBI Director Christopher Wray and Associate Attorney General Lisa Monaco, to also discuss targeting Jews.
The meeting, originally reported by Militant Islam Monitor, represents another part of what appears to be a larger effort by Islamist groups to weaponize prosecutors against their critics.
On May 22nd, top Department of Justice officials and the FBI Director met with Arab American Institute boss James Zogby and MPAC founder Salam al-Marayati. Both men had been accused of supporting terrorism , including Hamas, in accusations going back decades.
Zogby, a Lebanese Arab activist, had described Hezbollah, which was responsible for the murder of hundreds of Americans, as “the Lebanese armed resistance”.
“By criminalizing attempts to send money to Hezbollah or to support it, the FBI is confusing and alienating people here who could be allies in the war on terrorism,” he had warned the FBI.
Hezbollah’s crimes included the torture and murder of Colonel William R. Higgins, whose castrated body was found near a mosque with the”skin on his face partially removed.”
When Hezbollah terrorists hijacked TWA Flight 847, they tortured Robert Stethem, a Navy diver, by “jumping in the air and landing full force on his body. He must have had all his ribs broken.”
“They put the mic up to his face so his screams could be heard by the outside world,” a stewardess described.
But rather than expelling or arresting terrorist supporters, the FBI was meeting with them.
Salam al-Marayati had defended Hamas, blamed Israel for 9/11 and claimed that Hezbollah was not engaged in terrorism, but “ legitimate resistance… that could be called liberation movement.” When Hezbollah bombed the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut killing 241 military personnel, he argued that “tt was a military operation, producing no civilian casualties.”
(Al-Marayati was not telling the truth. The attack also killed Lebanese employees in the area.)
“Yesterday’s terrorists in the Middle East are today’s leaders,” he had argued and “Hamas in terms of its social and educational operations is doing exactly what the PLO was doing 35 years ago, as well as its quote unquote military operations.”
MPAC, the organization Al-Marayati had co-founded, had issued policy papers calling for the removal of Hamas and Hezbollah from the list of terror groups. At a meeting of the Palestine Committee’ of Hamas supporters in America, MPAC had been described as a “sympathetic” group that could be used as “an entry point to use them to pressure Congress and the decision-makers in America.” Was that what MPAC was doing here?
Normally, the FBI should have been interrogating MPAC, but instead MPAC was interrogating it.
Salam al-Marayati filmed a video outside the Attorney General’s office in which he falsely claimed that the Hamas campus encampments had been “peaceful” and that the violence had come from the police, and urged an investigation to “hold law enforcement accountable”.
But at the meeting arranged by Zogby, Al-Marayati, based on MPAC’s account of events, went even further off the rails and claimed that Muslims were under attack by Jewish “terrorists” allied with the “Proud Boys” and demanded that the FBI do something about them.
This bizarre screed should have ended the meeting, but instead the DOJ and the FBI took it seriously. And that is every bit as troubling as meeting with terrorist apologists in the first place.
Al-Marayati’s only example of Jews fighting back against Hamas supporters occurred at UCLA when after a Jewish female student had been knocked unconscious and multiple Jewish community members had been assaulted, with no response from the university, campus police or the LAPD, some young Jewish men showed up and took on the terrorist encampment.
Nevertheless, according to the MPAC account, FBI Director Christopher Wray said that he would pass on the case to the FBI Los Angeles field office. This is troubling because a previous exclusive Freedom Center investigation found that the FBI LA office had treated assaults against Muslims and by Muslims against Jews very differently. Any FBI investigation of UCLA prompted by Islamists to focus not on Muslim antisemitic violence, but only on the response to that violence by a small handful of young Jewish men, would be a civil rights violation.
Attorney General Garland and the DOJ leadership should be fighting Islamic terrorism. Instead they’re meeting with groups like MPAC that have a history of defending Islamic terrorism. And not only are they meeting with them, they’re taking cues about investigations from them.
The DOJ and the FBI have gone from fighting Islamic terrorists to taking orders from them.
CAIR’s efforts to influence state attorney generals and MPAC’s attempt to manipulate the United States Attorney General and the FBI to target political and religious opponents, especially Jews, is in line with Islamist supremacist groups who, in their own home countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, routinely lock up opponents and repress non-Muslims. But that should have no place in America. The Biden administration has opened the doors of the federal government to the worst possible extremists in the hopes of winning another term in office.
Had Al-Marayati not filmed his video, we might never have known what the Biden administration was doing. Instead, a private meeting has gone public and the investigative arm of the David Horowitz Freedom Center will continue monitoring the secret alliance between Islamists and government officials, exposing their events and holding them accountable.
Even as the Biden administration promises that it is fighting antisemitism, it’s holding covert meetings with antisemites who demand that the FBI go after the Jews.

Never thought the FBI would be the enemy of the people.

Th3 Evil One’s plans certainly do seem to be coming to fruition as he blinds the eyes of world leaders and endears the terrorist Muslims to them in an effort to undermine each nation’s greatness, and cause rot and decay from within in order to topple the nations.
Th3 bible talks abput the dream nebuchadnezzar had about a statue with brass, copper, metal, and clay
The clay ix8ng with iron for th3 feet represents foreigners who invade a country little by little, mixing into, BUT NOT WITH the iron, weakening the foundation dation of the nation
Mus.im radicals and Chinese radicals with very evil intentions are doing just that- coming here, but NOT assimilating with our nation, weakening our underpinnings until. Tney will one day topple the na5ion just as the Russian fella said many years ago when he basical,y said America would fall from within and that outsiders need just
sit back and watch.
The sick thing is that our “leaders” in the nation are welcoming hostile foreigners with open arms and open pocketbooks- ehat they are doing is absolutely treasonous.
Whi,e the church is sti,l here though, there is hope for the nation, BUT as soon as the church is removed, all hell will break loose- the faithful remnant, which is still quite large, are the on,y thing standing in the way of pure evil, taking over completely. God is stil. Faithful to his remnant which he calls “The Restrainers” (along with the holy spirit)
The remnant have stopped national abortion as a “right”, have opposed and stopped a great many immoral things from infesting our schools (they win some battles, lose others, but they still fight on)
God sees that, and honors it I believe. The nation is sick, yes, but it also has the faithful who inspire of the increasing evil. Still fight daily through prayer, through donations, through volunteering etc etc etc fightthe good fight. We are a long way off from soddom, but yes, getting c.oser because of the prevalence of evil. But thankfully the “gates of hell shall not prevail agaisnt it” (the church)
Yep me too, butthat is long gone, and never coming back I think, sadly. Oblama fundamentally changed the nation, do irreparable damage. The only way it could all be u done is if a totally righteous pr3sident took over and completely cleaned house, not caring ehat the opposition said.
Would be nice though if we “had a righteous king” (in a manner of speaking) like in the Bible had who immediately got to work cleaning up the filth ridden nation that he inherited from the evil kings before him, and the nation got back to its righteous foundations- someone with the guts to destroy the evil, and convict the criminals that perpetrated the evil.
2-faced pieces of s^^t!
Thanks for posting.
Has the FBI started building concentration camps and crematoriums yet?!?
When in Washington DC over a decade ago I was surprised at finding a few white collar men who had converted to Islam. It would be curious how many of the government leaders had been converted. Is their loyalty now to the Islamic Umma or to the State that pays their salary?
The first four seals show what the condition of the world is in just before the beginning of Gods judgment on this sin filled, bloody world.
You are correct about the first seal, but, if you look at what Rev CH6 says about those first four seals you will clearly see that they are all four in play right now.
We, as believers and followers of Jesus need to get the good news out to as many people as we can because the time is short.
There has never been a time in history that all of the prophesied conditions for the fulfillment of those prophecy’s have been all present just as Revelation has written.
Maranatha.
Thanks for the ping.
