Indeed, on February 27, California Democratic congressman Henry Waxman wrote a letter to the Secret Service requesting all electronic records of visits by Sami al-Arian to the White House complex.

Waxman also asked for "all requests, whether granted or denied, by White House employees that Sami al-Arian be admitted to the White House complex."

And he asked whether the Secret Service had identified al-Arian's alleged terrorist connections and objected to his visit, only to be overruled by White House officials.

Norquist's outreach made some sense before the 2000 election, but it makes very little sense now. There's no point in alienating Muslims unnecessarily, because you want votes from anywhere you can get them; but it would be irrational to expect that the Republicans can make Muslims a key part of its core voting base after 9/11.

But, in January of this year, CAIR's Ibrahim Hooper and Jason Erb, communications director and government-affairs director, respectively, were back in the White House for a briefing on immigration policy.

The only immigration policy we should have related to Muslims is a ban.

Many of us here warned about this problem and we were booed, now it looks like the rats have an issue that we should of taken care of months ago, instead of trying to act like nothing is wrong.

Now tonight on FNC Frank Gaffney has showed that we have a group of Muslim Religious leaders in our army from the worst sect of Islam that there is. It will not stand. We need to put this issue to bed and it should of been taken care of months ago. Now the rats are on it. Not to help our side rest assured of that!

Strange bedfellows to say the least...Kind of hard to understand how, or why the Bush administration feels so compelled to hold hands with the supporters of suicide bombers of Israel and America and supporters of the WTC massacre...Is this all for just for votes, or is there something else???

Thanks for the info. I'm so mad about this Muslin soldier killing our men. Their hatred never goes away and they live for a moment like this. I've heard that this kind of incident --fragging-- doesn't happen frequently. In fact the last time it happened was in Vietnam. Bastard! I hope they fry him, big time.

Here lets link that story here too!

The enemy is within and a Black Muslim soldier attacks our troops!

At its heart, it is about the Bush White House and whether its contacts with some Muslim groups might someday make the administration vulnerable to charges that it cultivated close relations with groups tied to radical Islam — even as it conducted a war on terror around the world. The Norquist-Gaffney feud, some conservatives fear, might be just the first act of a very long play.

Thanks for the link, TLBSHOW.

How dare you post this! You are a Bush hater! You are a disrupter! Go back to DU! I don't care that you are RIGHT, I can't face reality, and refuse to see the truth about this administration!!! I'm gonna ping all the country-club bushbots, and we are going to gang up on you and call you names, thereby making the post/discussion too confusing to follow, thus preventing the truth from surfacing.

There! That about covers it. Now we can keep the thread open for serious replies and spirited debate, minusthe namecalling and disruption.

LOL

If people want to be ignorant here and blind, that is their problem but rest assured I am right and this needs to be dealt with by conservatives that aren't blinded!

[Captainpaintball]

Unfortunately, they have made your previous posts on this subject impossible to follow because they spam it up with insults, and "already posted three times" accusations.

[TLBSHOW]

Well it looks like Rat Waxman will handle the matter and if certain freepers want to hide their heads in the sand about this issue all they will do is harm the Presidency. When they say they are for him. I can't fiqure out some freepers here but I think they are really not friends of the right and I am certain they aren't conservatives!

Muslims, as perrennial victims, are tailor-made Democrats.

HERE IS THE QUESTION OF THE MONTH

Who brought the Islamic Jihad leader to the White House?

Top US Muslim groups want it both ways


Can't be with us and be with the terrorists: Bush with FBI Director Mueller and Attorney General Ashcroft. Top Muslim groups in US meet with FBI to demand sensitivity, not offer investigative help.
Top American Muslim groups want it both ways on the terrorism issue.

On the one hand, some of them, as voiced by their founders and leaders, openly support and raise money for international terrorists, while fighting to repeal US anti-terrorism statutes and to undermine the Bush Administration's proposed legislation to uproot terror networks here at home.

On the other hand, they say they oppose terrorism and want to be accepted as part of the American political midstream.

What these major groups don't do is embrace President Bush's "with us or with the terrorists" principle. That principle allows us to gauge whether an individual or group really opposes the terrorist enemy - or whether it is part of the problem.

None of these groups, led by the American Muslim Council and smaller spinoffs like the Islamic Institute, has come out and actually called on the American Muslim community to help federal investigative agencies root out terrorist networks from their mosques, centers, and neighborhoods. None has tried to create a political climate to make it easier and more socially acceptable for Arab-American and Muslim citizens and residents to clean out their own proverbial sea in which the terror networks thrive.

Instead, they meet with the FBI director to complain about how their rights are being violated and to demand sensitivity training for counterterrorism agents. In the words of the Islamic Institute, they met with the FBI to strengthen a "pledge to protect the community," not to protect the country. They demand protection from hate crimes while not lifting a finger to mobilize the people they say they represent to help fight terror at home.

The more "moderate" groups continue to join forces with the pro-terrorist groups. Guilt by association? Not under the president's criteria.

And that's the problem with those organizations - and with certain individuals at the White House, who continue to legitimize them.
