Did Obama Appoint a Muslim to Head the CIA?
(Dr. Jerome R. Corsi) – Why did John Brennan take his oath to be CIA
director on a draft copy of the Constitution that did not include the
Bill of Rights? Was this a way to avoid having to take the oath on the
Bible? Was it a way of Brennan signaling he does not support the first
ten amendments to the Constitution because he does not believe in or
endorse the freedoms defined there.
In a speech delivered August 9, 2009, to the Center for Strategic and International Studies that is archived on the White House website, Brennan commented that using “a legitimate term, ‘jihad,’ meaning to purify oneself or to wage a holy struggle for a moral goal” to describe terrorists “risks reinforcing the idea that the United States is somehow at war with Islam itself.”

Brennan advised that United States foreign policy should encourage greater assimilation of the Hezbollah terrorist organization into the Lebanese government.
In a July 2008 article in The Annals, a publication of the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences, Brennan argued it “would not be foolhardy, however, for the United States to tolerate, and even to encourage, greater assimilation of Hezbollah into Lebanon’s political system, a process that is subject to Iranian influence.”
Brennan continued: “Hezbollah is already represented in the Lebanese parliament and its members have previously served in the Lebanese cabinet, reflections of Hezbollah’s interest in shaping Lebanon’s political future from within government institutions. This involvement is a far cry from Hezbollah’s genesis as solely a terrorist organization dedicated to murder, kidnapping and violence.”
At the August 2009 press conference for the CSIS, Brennan declared, “Hezbollah started out as purely a terrorist organization back in the early ‘80s and has evolved significantly over time. And now it has members of parliament, in the cabinet; there are lawyers, doctors, others who are part of the Hezbollah organization.”
Middle Eastern terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah frequently maintain civilian units of doctors and lawyers in order to emphasize their outreach with local politicians and to increase their political acceptance in the international arena.
Conceivably, the Istanbul-based Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief, better known by the Turkish acronym IHH, would fit into Brennan’s definition of the charitable side of organizations such as Hezbollah, ties to al-Qaeda that have been amply documented by experts such as former investigating judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere, who led the French judiciary’s counter-terrorism unit for nearly two decades before retiring in 1977.
Despite this history, IHH is not included on the State Department’s current list of 45 groups designated as foreign terrorist organizations that names both Hezbollah and Hamas.
In his speech to the New York University law school students posted on YouTube by the White House, Brennan included a lengthy statement in Arabic that he did not translate for his English-speaking audience.
Noting that he spent time spent as an undergraduate with the American University in Cairo during the 1970s, Brennan proceeded to use only the Arabic name, “Al Quds,” when referring to Jerusalem, commenting that during his 25-year in government he spent considerable time in the Middle East, as a political officer with the State Department and as a CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia.
“In Saudi Arabia, I saw how our Saudi partners fulfilled their duty as custodians of the two holy mosques in Mecca and Medina,” he said. “I marveled at the majesty of the Haj and the devotion of those who fulfilled their duty as Muslims of making that pilgrimage.”
In 2010, Brennan participated in a meeting with Muslim law students that was facilitated by the Islamic Society of North America, a group that was named as unindicted co-conspirator in a case where the founders of Holy Land Foundation of Texas were given life sentences “for funneling $12 million” to Hamas, the group currently in political control of the Gaza.
At this 2010 meeting in New York, Brennan declared himself a “citizen of the world,” who believed the United States government should never engage in “profiling” in pursuit of national security.
While the U.S. Senate may have chosen to ignore Brennan’s obvious tilt toward Islam, it is doubtful radical Muslims in the Middle East and around the world missed the point.
