Want to Know Just How Close the Muslim Brotherhood Is to the Obama Admin?
On Wednesday evening, GBTV unveiled a powerful documentary, “Rumors of War III,”
exposing how radical Islamists, including the Muslim Brotherhood,
are infiltrating American government at its highest levels. Above is a
video clip from the program outlining some of the key players involved.
The following is an overview of each of
the Islamist figures who have found their place — in some way, shape or
form — at the Obama administration’s table.
Arif Alikahn, Former Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Policy Development:
Now a Distinguished Visiting Professor of DHS and Counterterrorism at
the National Defense University, Alikahn also served as Deputy Mayor
for Public Safety for the City of Los Angeles where he reportedly derailed the
LAPD’s efforts to monitor the city’s Muslim community — particularly
its radical mosques and madrassas where certain 9/11 hijackers were said
to have received support. He is affiliated with MPAC, which has called
the terrorist group Hezbollah a “liberation movement.”
Salam al-Marayati, Founder and Executive Director of Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC)
: Marayati
is an Iraqi immigrant who drew national attention over a decade ago
when then-House Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt nominated him to
serve on the National Commission on Terrorism. Backlash over
al-Marayati’s defense of Hezbollah and other Islamic groups prompted
a withdrawal of the nomination. The Center for Security Policy reports
that MPAC was formed in 1986 as the Political Action Committee for the
Islamic Center for Southern California, one of the largest Wahhabi
mosques in the country. While MPAC later fractioned-off, one of the
founders of the Islamic Center, Hassan Hathout, was a senior member of
the Muslim Brotherhood who also spent time in Egyptian prison.

Mohamed Elibiary, Homeland Security Advisory Committee Member
: He is the former president
of the Freedom and Justice Foundation, which was billed to ”promote a
Centrist Public Policy environment in Texas by coordinating the state
level government and interfaith community relations for the organized
Texas Muslim community.” He spoke at a 2004 conference in
Dallas praising the “Great Islamic Visionary” Ayatollah Khomeini. Most
recently he is famous for leaking highly sensitive intelligence
documents to a media outlet in Texas.

Rashad Hussain, State Department Special Envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation: The Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report uncovered
that Hussain spoke at a conference sponsored by the Muslim Brotherhood
affiliate, the Association of Muslim Social Scientists. An internal
Brotherhood document dubbed the Social Scientists as one of “our
organizations and the organizations of our friends.” Hussain also spoke
at the Prince Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding of
Georgetown University, which reportedly receives Saudi funding and is
directed by Muslim Brotherhood advocate, John Esposito. In 2004, Hussain
also participated in the Muslim Students Association’s annual
conference, a group founded by the Muslim Brotherhood and known as one
of its front-groups. The report also asserts that many of the Student
Associations’ nearly 600 college chapters “have engaged in extremism and
the group closely collaborates with the other Brotherhood fronts.”
Other Brotherhood sympathizers involved in the administration but who tend to travel beneath the radar include:
Imam Mohamed Magid, Homeland Security Countering Violent Extremism Working Group Member : He is a Sudanese-born president for the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) with alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. ISNA’s parent is the Muslim Student Association. ISNA completed a $21 million headquarters in Indianapolis using funds raised in part from Muslim Brotherhood.
Eboo Patel, Obama Administration Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships: Patel spoke at a Muslim Students Association and ISNA convention, appearing on a panel
alongside Tariq Ramadan, grandson of the Muslim Brotherhood’s founder,
and Siraj Wahhaj, who was named as a possible co-conspirator in the 1993
World Trade Center bombing and has defended the convicted WTC bombers.
Wahhaj allegedly advocates the Islamic takeover of America.
Huma Abedin, Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: Perhaps
most famous for being wife of the disgraced former congressman Anthony
Weiner, Huma Abedin appears to have family ties to the Muslim
Brotherhood. In an interview with FrontPageMag,
anti-Islamist author Walid Shoebat explained that Huma’s mother, Saleha
Abedin, is involved with the Muslim Brotherhood and that Huma’s
brother, Hassan, sits in on the board of the Oxford Centre For Islamic
Studies (OCIS) where he is a fellow and partners with other board
members including “Al-Qaeda associate, Omar Naseef and the notorious Muslim Brotherhood leader Sheikh Youssef Qaradawi; both have been listed as OCIS Trustees.”
