Frank Gaffney: Friend of the Brotherhood? (PLUS: The Islamic ACORN)
A new Pew Center poll says nearly one-in-five Americans think Barack Obama is a Muslim. Perhaps that is because of reports like the one blared on the cover of the September 6 edition of the tabloid, The Globe, replete with photos of Mr. Obama in Muslim garb: It found "shocking proof" in a Nile TV interview given earlier this year by the Egyptian Foreign Affairs Minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, disclosing that "the American President told me in confidence that he is a Muslim."
A better explanation is that more Americans are taking note of the accumulating series of statements and actions by the President that display favoritism, or worse, towards Muslims. That would be troubling enough; after all, no chief executive is supposed to support one subset of us over others.
Think of it as ACORN reborn, with a slice of Jihad on the side.
On August 31, this coming Tuesday, the Muslim Brotherhood-associated “Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations” (CCMO) will bring 25-30 Muslim leaders of 20 national Muslim groups to attend a special workshop presented by the White House and U.S. Government agencies (Agriculture, Education, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services etc.) to provide the groups “funding, government assistance and resources.” The workshop will apparently provide special access for these Muslim Brotherhood organizations: the organizers pledge to provide “direct access” and “cut through red tape.” Government and Muslim groups will hold an Iftar dinner (breaking the fast of Ramadan) after the workshop.
Christine Brim from the Center for Security Policy discusses her article on U.S. tax dollars going to Sharia. Next, Frank Gaffney is joined by Jim Pinkerton from the New America Foundation who will discuss his Peace Through Strength Platform and President Obama’s folly on his approach to nuclear disarmament. In the final segment, Gordon Chang will report on U.S. banks fleeing the U.S. dollar for Chinese currency.
CBN Terrorism Analyst Erick Stakelbeck reports on the money and ideology behind the trend to build mega-mosques across the U.S. and updates Frank on Hezbollah’s activity in Lebenon. Then, Bill Gertz of the Washingtontimes discusses Al Qaeda’s training activity in Yemen. Finally, Foundation for Defense of Democracy Executive Director Mark Dubowitz weighs in on Iran.
Vice Admiral Bob Monroe discusses his piece in today’s Wall Street Journal on the new START treaty. New York Post columnist and author Ralph Peters weighs in on Iraq and Pakistan. Then, Caroline Glick of the Jerusalem Post reports from the front lines of freedom in Israel. Finally, Jim Hanson of Blackfive.net reports on his reporting at the Ground Zero Mosque protest form the weekend. All this and more on today’s Secure Freedom Radio.
