Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced in a closed-door meeting Tuesday she would name the first Muslim lawmaker to the Houses Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
A senior Democratic aide said Rep. André Carson of Indiana would be named in the coming days to the key national security-focused panel. The California Democrat told lawmakers of the appointment during the members weekly caucus meeting.
Carson would be the first Muslim to serve on the committee and was the second Muslim to be elected to Congress. He already serves on the House Armed Services Committee and worked for the Department of Homeland Securitys Fusion Center the clearinghouse established by the federal government to streamline data sharing between the CIA, the FBI, the Department of Justice and the military.
The intelligence committee will most likely tackle a series of high-profile international crises during the 114th Congress, including the threat of Islamic militants and Ukraine.
Carsons office didnt immediately return a request for comment.
The announcement comes in the wake of a terrorist attack in Paris by Islamic extremists that left 12 people dead. World leaders gathered on Sunday for a 1 million person solidarity protest against the violence that targeted French Jews and journalists.
It’s no problem. Islam must know everything that we are doing ahead of time. Like when El Baradei would let Iran and Iraq know they were coming to those countries so they could hide things. Or the fact that he gave research information to Pakistan
All terrorists may be Muslim, but all Muslims are not terrorists.
What could go wrong??
But all Muslims support terrorists because terrorizing infidels is part of their duties.
I think you should re-read and edit your home page if you really think and mean that.
Well, we know he wasn’t passing things along to Pakistan in exchange for dentistry information.
Why doesn’t Nancy just wear a sign on her back that says KICK ME?
“All terrorists may be Muslim, but all Muslims are not terrorists.”
True. Among the non-terrorist mohammedans is a very large percentage who fund terrorists, cheer on terrorists, and are otherwise on-board with terrorists. There are apparently a relatively small number of mohammedans who disapprove of terrorists, but most of them are cowed into silence.
A Muslim extremist wants to take over the world. A Muslim moderate want the extremist to take over the world.
WINNER!!
A Muslim extremist wants to take over the world. A Muslim moderate want the extremist to take over the world.
Not necessarily.
Why doesnt Nancy just wear a sign on her FRONT that says TRAITOR?....................
Won’t work Nancy. They’ll still come after you if given the chance.
Why is it this guy seems to only end up on committees that deal with national security or defense? Why not energy or some other random grouping.
Seems purposeful. I would resign as char of that committee just to make a point, if I were chair. I wouldn’t want to be complicity in giving away information to the enemy.
EVERYTHING........................
I did a little research...
“On a panel at the 2014 Muslim American Society/Islamic Circle of North America (MAS/ICNA) convention held in Chicago, Congressman Andre Carson found himself scheduled with Mazen Mokhtar, an al-Qaeda webmaster and Taliban fundraiser. The panel was entitled, Ferguson is Our Issue: We Cant Breathe.
Mokhtar was named in a federal affidavit in the case of a UK-based al-Qaeda website. The website raised money for the Taliban and the Chechen mujaheddin.
According to the Washington Post:
Meanwhile, a New Jersey man is under investigation for having helped a British computer specialist, also arrested in London this week, allegedly solicit funds for a terrorist group by creating and operating an exact replica of the British mans Web site.
Mazen Mokhtar, an Egyptian-born imam and political activist, operated a Web site identified in an affidavit unsealed Friday by the U.S. attorneys office in Connecticut. The Web site solicited funds for the Taliban and Chechen mujaheddin, according to the affidavit. It is an exact replica of Web sites operated by Babar Ahmad, who was arrested in England on a U.S. extradition warrant this week.
The affidavit said the New Jersey home of the mirror Web site operator, identified on a Web site as Mokhtar, was searched in the recent past and that copies of Azzam Publications sites, operated by Ahmad, were found on Mokhtars computers hard drive and files.
Officials at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office, which is leading the investigation, declined yesterday to comment on Mokhtar or the New Jersey investigation.
People rallied around Mokhtar during the investigation using the moderate Islamic cleric narrative.
Mokhtar now serves as Executive Director for MAS.
Federal prosecutors said in 2007 that MAS was founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States.
Congressman Carson has declared that the US education system would never be truly innovative until modeled after Islamic education.
