1) By the way, of course, the point was not simply whether Qatar was good or bad at the time, but rather than Grover shold have registers and otehrwise disclosed that this is who he works for rather than trying to both hide and lie about it, per se, and lie by saying II works on behalf of the putative "American Muslim Community."

2) Estimates of this "community" ,by the way, are greatly exaggerated by the II types. Census and polling date, and analysis by several universities and by the conservative STATS, indicates the number is betweem 2 and 3 million , inclusive of 800,000 Arab-American (most of whom are Christian. 30-40 % of American Muslims are black converts and highly unlikley to ever vote GOP or join the conservative movement. Further, when adjusted for the cohort who can legally vote ( a large number are arrived within last decade from S/SE Asia and are either illegal or not citizens yet), and then applying to that normative party break down (even unadjusted for 1- 2nd generation immigrant Democratic Party voting tendencies), and you get something like 200,000 votes nationwide possible for the GOP.

Some people's resistance to believing Norquist is a traitor and with full knowledge has been assisting the Islamists in their crusade to take over the world should not be mistaken as sympathy for their cause nor refudiation of the painstaking research Gaffney and others have done. We just separate on the "Norquist is an evil piece of filth" question.

On the contrary, we have had both Gaffney and Pipes on Radio FreeRepublic as guests and next week we have Timmerman to discuss his new book. We have asked Norquist to guest and hope to be able to schedule that in the next few weeks. If you would like to submit specific questions for him, send them along to me at bobj@freeper.org and I will pass them on to the host, Kay Daly.
