		<description><![CDATA[The UAE is more honest about jihad-supporting groups than Obama’s USA.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/CAIR-Visiting-Morocco-to-Discuss-Political-Reforms.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-245709" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/CAIR-Visiting-Morocco-to-Discuss-Political-Reforms-450x344.jpg" alt="Council on American-Islamic Relation (CI" width="327" height="250" /></a>The United Arab Emirates last week approved a list of 86 “designated terrorist organisations and groups, including the usual suspects – the UAE Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic State – along with two surprises, both with ties to Hamas: the Muslim American Society and the Council on American-Islamic Relations.</p>
<p>This surprising listing probably stemmed from both groups’ links to the Muslim Brotherhood. UAE President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan doesn’t want to find himself overthrown by Islamic hardliners, and replaced by a Sharia government.</p>
<p>When the story first broke, I wrote at my website Jihad Watch: “If this is authentic, no doubt Hamas-linked CAIR’s Nihad Awad and Ibrahim ‘Honest Ibe’ Hooper are furiously working the phones today, calling on all their contacts in the U.S. government and elsewhere to get this reversed. What fun it would be to be a fly on the wall in Honest Ibe’s sumptuously appointed office today. Will the Obama administration’s Justice Department now denounce the UAE for ‘Islamophobia’?”</p>
<p>Close. It wasn’t Justice, it was State. U.S. State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said Monday that the Obama Administration was “aware that two U.S.-based groups, the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Muslim American Society, were included on the list.” Rathke said that the government was “seeking to gain more information on why, and “engaging UAE authorities” in order to do so.</p>
<p>A reporter then asked Rathke: “The State Department works…with CAIR all the time, no? I mean, there’s all sorts of outreach programs between the government and CAIR, right?”</p>
<p>Rathke seemed taken aback by the question: “I don’t know offhand whether we have a particular…I don’t have that information at my fingertips. But at any rate, we’re engaging UAE officials. These are U.S.-based groups so of course our – we are not in the lead then for domestically-based groups generally.”</p>
<p>It’s perfectly clear why CAIR and MAS were listed as terror organizations: because of their links to the Muslim Brotherhood. But the Obama Administration cannot accept that, as it has itself done so much to aid the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and elsewhere. Hence their inquiries to Emirati officials, which are a fresh indication of the unwholesome influence these groups wield in Washington. But the UAE has the right idea, even if it reverses itself under pressure from State — and we can only hope for a restoration of sanity in Washington that will end these groups’ influence before they do more damage.</p>
<p>CAIR is not a terrorist organization, if one considers violent acts an essential part of what defines terrorism: it doesn’t blow things up or exhort others to do so. It is, however, an Islamic supremacist organization with the same goals as those of al-Qaeda and the Islamic State: the imposition of Islamic law wherever and whenever possible. And while CAIR is quite mainstream these days, this self-styled “civil rights group” was actually named an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case by the Justice Department. CAIR operatives have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements. Its California chapter distributed a poster telling Muslims not to talk to the FBI. CAIR has opposed every anti-terror measure that has ever been proposed or implemented.</p>
<p>CAIR’s dark side has been well known for years. Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL) said that CAIR is “unusual in its extreme rhetoric and its associations with groups that are suspect.” Another United States Senator said of CAIR that “we know it has ties to terrorism,” and “intimate links with Hamas.” Those were the words of Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), and they have been proven correct.</p>
<p>Congressman Bill Shuster (R-PA) has said:  “Time and again the organization has shown itself to be nothing more than an apologist for groups bent on the destruction of Israel and Islamic domination over the West.”</p>
<p>In June 2007, Federal prosecutors named CAIR as a participant in what the New York Sun called “an alleged criminal conspiracy to support a Palestinian Arab terrorist group, Hamas.” This was when CAIR was first designated an unindicted co-conspirator for its support for the Holy Land Foundation. The federal prosecution document described CAIR as a present or past member of “the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee and/or its organizations.” The Muslim Brotherhood is the parent organization of both Hamas and Al-Qaeda.</p>
<p>CAIR was founded in 1994 by Nihad Awad and Omar Ahmad. Awad had been the President of the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP), and Ahmad its Public Relations Director. The IAP, which was shut down by the government in 2005 for funding terrorism, was founded in 1981 by a Hamas operative, Mousa Abu Marzook. Marzook currently heads Hamas’s “political bureau,” and is engaged in negotiations with Fatah in hopes of forming a Palestinian unity government. In the course of these negotiations, Hamas reaffirmed its refusal to accept Israel’s right to exist – which is tantamount to vowing its total destruction.</p>
<p>According to a report dated August 14, 2001, from the Immigration and Naturalization Services, the IAP was dedicated to “publishing and distributing HAMAS communiqués printed on IAP letterhead, as well as other written documentation to include the HAMAS charter and glory records, which are tributes to HAMAS’ violent ‘successes.’“ The same report also stated that IAP had received “approximately $490,000 from [Mousa Abu] Marzook during the period in which Marzook held his admitted role as a HAMAS leader.”</p>
<p>Randall Todd (“Ismail”) Royer was CAIR’s communications specialist and civil rights coordinator. He was part of the “Virginia jihad group,” which was indicted on forty-one counts of “conspiracy to train for and participate in a violent jihad overseas.” They were accused of association with Lashkar-e-Taiba, a jihad terrorist group.</p>
<p>Matthew Epstein of the Investigative Project has said that Royer helped recruit the other member of the group to the jihad while he was working for CAIR.</p>
<p>Royer was also among those charged in a separate indictment saying that they conspired to help Al-Qaeda and the Taliban fight against American troops in Afghanistan. And Royer admitted to a grand jury that he had already waged jihad warfare in Bosnia – with and that his commander took orders from Osama bin Laden.</p>
<p>According to Daniel Pipes, “Royer eventually pleaded guilty to lesser firearms-related charges, and the former CAIR staffer was sentenced to twenty years in prison.”</p>
<p>Then there was Ghassan Elashi, the founder of CAIR’s Texas chapter. He was charged in July 2004 with giving Hamas more than 12 million dollars while he was running the Holy Land Foundation. Elashi was convicted in November 2008 of providing material support to terrorism in connection with his role in the HLF. Earlier, Elashi was convicted in July 2004 of illegally shipping computers to two state-sponsors of terrorism, Libya and Syria. Then he was convicted in April 2005 of knowingly doing business with Mousa Abu Marzook, the senior Hamas leader who founded the IAP. Elashi was found guilty of conspiracy, money laundering, and dealing in the property of a designated terrorist.</p>
<p>Bassem Khafagi was CAIR’s community relations director. He pled guilty in September 2003 to lying on his visa application and passing bad checks, and he was deported. Before he worked for CAIR, he was president of the Islamic Assembly of North America (IANA) &#8212; which is under investigation by the Justice Department for terrorism-related activities. According to court documents, the IANA was devoted to spreading “radical Islamic ideology, the purpose of which was indoctrination, recruitment of members, and the instigation of acts of violence and terrorism.”</p>
<p>Rabih Haddad was a CAIR fundraiser who was arrested in December 2001 and deported. Again the charges were terror-related.</p>
<p>Maybe all these people had jihadist sentiments either before or after working for CAIR, but were completely moderate while working for it. Maybe. But this is just part of the picture. CAIR is, evidently, a moderate group has several onetime employees arrested on terror charges. It is a moderate group came out of another group that has been identified as the “primary voice in the U.S.” of a terror group. A moderate group that traffics in legal threats and intimidation against those of which it disapproves.</p>
<p>A moderate group?</p>
<p>No, the UAE was right: it’s a terrorist organization.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Reps. Bachmann and Gohmert dare to call a terrorist group by its proper name. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/600x3965.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-237219 " src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/600x3965-429x350.jpg" alt="Pro-Egyptian Military Supporters Rally At White House" width="300" height="245" /></a>“We are faced with an enemy whose goal is to conquer the world by subversion and infiltration or, if necessary, by open war.”</p>
<p>The speaker was Senator John F. Kennedy and he was discussing the Communist Control Act that he had co-sponsored. The Act did what had been previously thought impossible; it outlawed the Communist Party.</p>
<p>The latest bill to fight an enemy whose goal is also to conquer the world by subversion, infiltration and open war doesn’t have a Kennedy co-sponsor. Instead it has the two members of Congress who have fought the hardest to expose the Muslim Brotherhood; Michele Bachmann and Louie Gohmert.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0433ff;"><a href="http://freebeacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/2014-July-24-MB-FTO-FINAL.pdf">The Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act</a></span> goes to the heart of the beast by designating the entity a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Plenty of Muslim Brotherhood affiliates and splinter groups, from Hamas to Al Qaeda, have already ended up on the FTO list.</p>
<p>But the Brotherhood has been able to keep spewing out new front groups that enjoy immunity.</p>
<p>The Act lists some of the Brotherhood groups and Brotherhood leaders already on the FTO list. These include the Kuwaiti Muslim Brotherhood and the head of the Yemeni Muslim Brotherhood’s political party who served as the coordinator for the bombing of the USS Cole. The Act documents, briefly, the Brotherhood’s history and some of its more recent involvements in worldwide terrorism.</p>
<p>From the original World Trade Center attacks to the recent Brotherhood attacks on Coptic Christians, the Act comprehensively makes the case that the Muslim Brotherhood is a violent terrorist group.</p>
<p>There really is no doubt whatsoever that the Muslim Brotherhood meets the FTO criteria. But so did Boko Haram and the State Department fought tooth and nail to keep an Al Qaeda-linked organization responsible for the murder of thousands off the list.</p>
<p>The Muslim Brotherhood is even more vital to their agenda than Boko Haram.</p>
<p>However the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act, if it passes, will force John Kerry to issue a report explaining why the Muslim Brotherhood should not be treated as a terrorist group.</p>
<p>The contents of that report could be guessed at ahead of time.</p>
<p>When challenged over the provision of F-16 fighter jets to Muslim Brotherhood thug Mohammed Morsi, <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/kerry-defends-tank-and-jet-giveaway-to-muslim-brotherhood-terror-regime-video/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Kerry had claimed</span></a> that the US couldn’t just walk away from him.</p>
<p>A <a href="http://allenbwest.com/2014/06/egypt-kerry-sympathetic-words-muslim-brotherhood-whose-side/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">Kerry aide stated back in June</span></a> that “We do not share the view of the Egyptian government about links between the Muslim Brothers and terrorist groups like ISIS” and argued that the Brotherhood was a political challenge, rather than a security challenge.</p>
<p>Nevertheless it’s important to have this discussion out in the open.</p>
<p>Americans who warned about the dangers of Communism were marginalized, but by the fifties a unanimous Senate vote had outlawed the Communist Party. JFK did not co-sponsor the Communist Control Act because he was a courageous leader, but because by then it was the safe thing to do.</p>
<p>The pace of world events had taken what had been seen as the obsession of a few cranks and turned it into a compelling national security issue that could no longer be ignored.</p>
<p>As the Middle East churns in the murderous grip of its Jihads, Americans are beginning to see a region under Islamic movements that resembles Eastern Europe under the Communist boot. As they look at the shifting populations in Europe, at the rise of honor killings and FGM, at mobs screaming hate at the Jews in Paris and at burning churches in Egypt, they ask themselves whether they want to live this way.</p>
<p>If Americans wake up to the threat of the Muslim Brotherhood, the way that they had once woken up to the threat of Communism, it will be because a handful of members of Congress, prominent among them, Michele Bachmann and Louie Gohmert, kept up the good fight.</p>
<p>Bachmann and Gohmert warned about the Muslim Brotherhood despite the lack of interest in the topic by much of the public, the media and even by their own party.</p>
<p>With them stand a handful of co-sponsors; Trent Franks, <a href="https://franks.house.gov/press-release/franks-statement-ig-letters-concerning-muslim-brotherhood"><span style="color: #0433ff;">who has also stood up</span></a> against the Muslim Brotherhood, and others like Peter Roskam, who took a stand against Hamas, Cynthia Lummis, who asked during the Benghazi hearings about the Brotherhood’s involvement, Kevin Brady, who tried to cut funding to the UN, Steve Southerland, who spoke at Florida State University in defiance of Muslim protests, and Doug LaMalfa, who condemned Obama for funding Hamas.</p>
<p>The Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act would make it possible to go after anyone providing material support to the entity. It would make it possible to keep Muslim Brotherhood agents from entering the United States and to deport Muslim Brotherhood members already in the United States.</p>
<p>The Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act may not pass and even if it does, it’s wildly unlikely that Obama, who won’t even stop funding Hamas which is already on the FTO list, would enforce it. But shifts are incremental. They come from the persistent commitment to advancing an issue.</p>
<p>Within a decade, Communism went from kindly Uncle Joe to a nightmarish monster. In 1937, 47% of Americans knew nothing of Fascism or Communism. By 1939, <a href="https://etd.ohiolink.edu/rws_etd/document/get/toledo1245175828/inline"><span style="color: #0433ff;">half the country was willing</span></a> to choose either Communism or Fascism. In 1940, only 37% supported jailing or deporting Communists. By 1945, 48% of Americans saw improving relations ahead for the US and the USSR.</p>
<p>Less than a decade later, outlawing the Communist Party had become the default bipartisan position.</p>
<p>While the propaganda of the left is a powerful thing, it crumbles in the face of world events. The political battlefield is a shadow of the real world. When the world changes, it abruptly transforms everything.</p>
<p>In these moments of transformation, the patriots who have been fighting for the truth have the opportunity to step forward and take advantage of the shift. And those who blindly denounced them will join them, because when the consensus crumbles, they seek sensible point of security to cling to.</p>
<p>It is toward that day that the patriots do their work, placing brick on brick, laboring to build a pedestal on which the truth will be revealed.</p>
<p>There may come a time when the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act is remembered as one of the vital building blocks in the American awakening to the threat of Islamization.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If tiny Bahrain will call a terrorist organization what it is, why won't the European Union? ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/RTR3AUNT.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-186598" alt="Lebanon's Hezbollah supporters gesture as they march during a ceremony to mark Ashura in Beirut's suburbs" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/RTR3AUNT-450x272.jpg" width="270" height="163" /></a>The European Union (EU) has been reluctant to designate Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, principally for reasons of cowardice and intimidation (the Netherlands is the only state do so.  Britain has targeted Hezbollah’s military arm but failed to ban its social and political arm.)  Germany’s foreign policy spokesman in the Bundestag, Philipp Missfelder, has called for a full-blown ban of Hezbollah. “The EU must <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/04/in-europe-a-growing-case-for-banning-hezbollah/275035/">act now</a> and use its instruments to classify Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.” Missfelder added that if the EU cannot reach a consensus, the Federal Republic of Germany should unilaterally sanction Hezbollah.</p>
<p>In the meantime, however, Europe and Germany in particular, have become lucrative arenas for Hezbollah’s fund raising through the sale of illicit drugs.  Simultaneously, the EU has permitted Hezbollah’s vile propaganda through its TV network Al-Manar.  The station disseminates anti-Semitic and anti-American propaganda, and glorifies suicide bombing to millions of viewers in Europe around the clock, seven days a week.</p>
<p>Much has been revealed about Hezbollah’s terror and conspiracy operations in Europe following last July’s tourist bus bombing in Burgas, Bulgaria, which resulted in the killing of five Israelis and their Bulgarian bus driver, and severely injuring 32 Israelis. Just two weeks earlier, Cypriot authorities arrested a dual Lebanese-Swedish citizen, a self-confessed Hezbollah member named Hossam Taleb Yaacoub, for plotting to murder Israeli tourists in Cyprus, an EU member state.  An 80-page report by a three judge panel in late March, 2013, related to Yaacoub’s conviction, exposed the reach of Hezbollah’s activities across Europe.</p>
<p>During his visit to Israel last month, U.S. President Barack Obama declared in Jerusalem every country that values justice should call Hezbollah what it truly is, a terrorist organization.  Obama aimed his remark at the EU, which has declined to place Hezbollah on the list of terrorist organizations</p>
<p>While the “mighty” EU states ponder the issue of designating Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, the tiny Arab Gulf Sheikdom of Bahrain did just that: it outlawed Hezbollah, and named it a terrorist organization.  Bahrain has become the first Arab state to <a href="http://www.thetower.org/bahrain-blacklists-hezbollah-as-terror-org-amid-spiking-arab-iran-tensions/">blacklist</a> Hezbollah.</p>
<p>The government of Bahrain claimed to have proof that Hezbollah provided logistical and material support to subversive groups in Bahrain that have attempted to unseat the Sunni dominated government.  Al Arabiya reported that Bahraini MP Abdul Halim Murad cited Hezbollah and Iran as conspiring against Bahrain.</p>
<p>To many of the Gulf Arab states and Sunni-Muslim leadership of Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates (UAE) in particular, Hezbollah has been seen correctly as the sub-contractor for their Iranian Shiite co-religionists and sponsors. At an Arab League meeting of Interior ministers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on March 13, 2013, Bahrain’s Interior minister Rashid Bin Abdullah al Khalifa, referring to Iranian sponsored troubles in his country (Iranian inspired uprising took place in February 2011) said: “ This <a href="http://www.worldtribune.com/2013/03/15/arab-league-calls-on-gulf-states-to-act-not-just-condemn-iran/">requires</a> an Arab stance that is more than condemnation &#8211; to take active measures to protect Arab security through the protection of the security of member countries.” Al Khalifa added that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps was involved in training and supporting Shiite insurgents.</p>
<p>A-Siyassa, a Kuwaiti Newspaper, reported on March 8, 2013, that the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states are preparing for a crackdown on Iranian supporters.  GCC states were drawing up lists of thousands of Lebanese (Shiites) and other nationals targeted for deportation.</p>
<p>Since 2011 and before, the UAE has been expelling Lebanese Shiites from the Emirates claiming “security reasons” for their action.  The common factor among all those expelled is that they are all Shiites and as such, are part of a community that “supports the resistance,” a reference to Hezbollah and Iran according to an Agence France-Presse (AFP) story.  In early April, 2011, Bahrain <a href="http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=45676">expelled</a> 16 Lebanese Shiites over “security concerns” during ongoing unrest in the tiny state.  Bahrain’s foreign minister accused Lebanon’s Hezbollah of backing Shiite protesters against the Sunni monarchy.</p>
<p>The BBC (December 8, 2010) reported that Saudi Arabia proposed an Arab-led military force to destroy Hezbollah in Lebanon according to a U.S. diplomatic cable revealed by Wikileaks.  At a 2008 meeting between David Satterfield, a senior State Department official and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal, the Saudi prince urged the U.S. and NATO to provide transport and logistical support as well as naval and air cover for an Arab force to take over Beirut and prevent an Iranian victory in Lebanon through Hezbollah.</p>
<p>According to the leaked cable, al-Faisal argued that a Hezbollah victory against Sunni-Muslim Prime Minister Fouad Siniora’s government “combined with Iranian actions in Iraq and on the Palestinian front would be a <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11945514">disaster</a> for the U.S. and the entire region.” Al-Faisal intimated that the Arab force will include troops from peripheral states, and that Fouad Siniora supported the plan.</p>
<p>The so-called “Arab Spring” did not bring with it a flowering of democracy to the Arab world, nor did it induce calm to the turmoil that is the Middle East.  It did however, sharpen the conflict between the two branches of Islam, and it has intensified the rivalry and fear in the Gulf between the GCC Sunni led states headed by Saudi Arabia, and Shiite Iran.  And as Arab Iraq and Lebanon have come under Shiite control, and Syria is being contested pitting the Alawi (Shiite affiliated) Assad regime against the Sunni rebels, a strange undeclared alliance had emerged between the Sunni Arab Gulf states and Israel.  It is not yet a love affair, but common interests in preventing Iran from going nuclear, and opposition to Hezbollah has put the U.S., Israel, and the Gulf states in the same camp.</p>
<p>Hezbollah’s trail of blood extends back to its creation in the early 1980’s by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.  Already in April, 1983, Hezbollah, under Iranian orders bombed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, killing 63 people. Six months later, Hezbollah used a massive truck bomb to destroy the U.S. and French army barracks outside Beirut, killing 241 U.S. Marines and 58 French soldiers.  And, throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s Hezbollah engaged in kidnappings and aircraft hijackings.  In 1984, Iran and Hezbollah perpetrated the bombing of the Israeli Embassy, and the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires.  Other Hezbollah attacks occurred in Paris and Bangkok.  Hezbollah engineered the Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 U.S. servicemen. In 1997, the State Department designated Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.</p>
<p>As it gained politically within Lebanon, Hezbollah tried to obscure its terrorist nature and present itself as a social welfare provider, and as a national liberation movement against Israeli occupation (which ended in May 2000) but cynically ignored Syrian occupation of all of Lebanon.  Hezbollah is currently engaged in the Syrian civil war on behalf of Iran, supporting the Assad regime.  Its meddling throughout the Sunni Middle East has caused the expulsion of Lebanese Shiites (suspected of affiliation of Hezbollah) from Egypt, Libya and of course, the Arab Gulf States.  Tiny Bahrain mustered the courage to ban Hezbollah and had it blacklisted as a terrorist organization.  It is now high time for the EU to emulate Bahrain and do the same.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Will Al-Qaeda resurrect the network it lost in Afghanistan?]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/alsha.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-58471" title="alsha" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/alsha.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>The U.S., European Union and their African allies are training and equipping the security forces of Somalia’s Transitional Federal Government to try to take back the parts of Mogadishu now under the control of an Al-Qaeda affiliate. Large portions of the city, known to most Americans as the site of the 1993 ambush that prompted the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the country, is controlled by the al-Shabaab terrorist group. Should Al-Qaeda and its allies succeed in seizing Somalia, they will be able to resurrect the network they lost in Afghanistan and activate their Somali networks in the West to deadly effect.</p>
<p>Recent incidents show the terrifying reach of al-Shabaab. An individual in Virginia named Anthony Joseph Tracy that admits having contact with the terrorist group is known to have <a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/local/Feds-can_t-find-Somalis-they-say-Va_-man-smuggled-into-U_S_-90381114.html">smuggled</a> 270 Somalis into the U.S., all of whom are believed to remain in the country and have proven extremely difficult to identify. It is improbable that al-Shabaab would use its resources to sneak random Somalis into the country. The odds are that these are their recruits and they are being used to establish sleeper cells in our midst. Considering that less than 20 terrorists were needed to execute 9/11, the number of nearly 300 could have catastrophic consequences.</p>
<p>A law enforcement report <a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/world/Somalis-with-terrorist-links-feared-headed-to-U_S_-border-89954247.html">reveals</a> that 23 Somalis suspected of being connected to al-Shabaab were arrested in Mexico early in the year as they planned to enter the United States. The Mexican authorities released the group on January 21, despite the fact that only 16 had been identified. One of those arrested was Mohamed Osman Noor, a member of al-Shabaab. It is not clear why the Mexicans released them but it is more than likely that the Somalis made their trip to the U.S. as they intended, albeit a little later than they had hoped.</p>
<p>Al-Shabaab has had great success in recruiting among the Somali communities in the West, many of whom have arrived under refugee programs meant to help those in the war-torn country. About 20 Somali-Americans have disappeared from the Minneapolis area alone and are assumed to have joined al-Shabaab’s ranks, at least six of whom have died in Somalia. The first American citizen to become a suicide bomber, Shirwa Ahmed, killed himself and as many as 30 others in Somalia in October 2008. Fourteen Americans have been charged for their involvement in al-Shabaab’s recruiting and transporting of Somali-Americans. This Al-Qaeda affiliate’s infrastructure in the West, particularly in the United States, is undoubtedly expansive, sophisticated, and successful.</p>
<p>In November 2007, terrorism expert Patrick Poole <a href="http://97.74.65.51/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=33399">wrote</a> that “…there exists an active recruiting and transportation network in the U.S., including Minneapolis, for Somali-run terrorist training camps, many of which have recently reopened. In many instances, these same Somali leaders purporting ignorance and innocence for the local media are not only aware of these recruiting operations, but have actively participated in them.”</p>
<p>At least five Somalis from Canada disappeared and probably <a href="http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/737965--did-five-torontonians-join-jihad-in-somalia">joined</a> al-Shabaab in November 2009, and <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article5741300.ece">dozens</a> of Somalis in the United   Kingdom have gone to their homeland for training and returned back. A Somali member of al-Shabaab is <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/01/01/danish.cartoon.break.in/index.html">charged</a> with trying to murder the Danish cartoonist who authored a degrading picture of Mohammed. This month, the Kenyan authorities <a href="http://www.nation.co.ke/News/Escaped%20man%20a%20key%20al%20Shabaab%20sponsor/-/1056/886126/-/x1xeyl/-/index.html">arrested</a> a Somali-Australian believed to be involved in an al-Shabaab terrorist plot in Australia but was accidentally released. Last August, the Australians arrested four suspected al-Shabaab terrorists believed to be planning attacks, some of whom had fought in Somalia.</p>
<p>Somalis have been captured in Saudi Arabia and Yemen after linking up with the Iranian-backed Shiite Houthi rebels, and Al-Qaeda operatives in Yemen are <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-20001978-10391695.html">reinforcing</a> al-Shabaab in Somalia. In this way, Yemen and Somalia can be compared to Afghanistan and Pakistan, as progress in one is offset by the harbor available on the other side. The increasing role of al-Shabaab and Al-Qaeda’s branch in Yemen in ongoing terrorist operations make an aggressive effort on both ends imperative.</p>
<p>Al-Shabaab currently controls southern Somalia and large portions of Mogadishu. Absent extensive aid to the forces of the Transitional Federal Government and militias like the Sunnah Wal Jama that are fighting them, Al-Qaeda will win the battle of Mogadishu and take control of Somalia. It is well within al-Shabaab’s capability to authorize attacks inside the United States, Canada and Europe, especially in light of the new revelation that one of their partners has smuggled in 270 Somalis into the U.S. The question is why they haven’t. It’s possible that they fear that doing so will expose their networks in the U.S., or that they don’t want to provoke the West into intervening further in Somalia.</p>
<p>It is unclear why al-Shabaab has not tried to perpetrate an attack in America yet, but it is clear that they have the capability and that capability will dramatically expand as they conquer Somalia. Al-Shabaab has pledged its allegiance to Al-Qaeda, and they fully intend to use their networks to carry out the follow-up attacks on America that Bin Laden has thus far been unable to. If Somalia falls to Al-Qaeda and its affiliates, then it will be their biggest victory since 9/11.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s no tyrant the female “peace” group won’t coddle.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-46596" title="ADDITION Rice US Middle East" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/code-pink.jpg" alt="ADDITION Rice US Middle East" width="450" height="323" /></p>
<p>Code Pink members became known during the Bush Administration as confrontational anti-war protestors, but the group is actually worse than that. Code Pink’s leadership has aligned with almost every tyrannical force opposing the U.S., from Chavez to Ahmadinejad to Hamas to Iraq insurgents. Code Pink is acting more like the ambassador for enemies of the free world than an advocate for peace.</p>
<p>Kristinn Taylor and Andrea Shea King over at <a href="http://biggovernment.com/" target="_blank">BigGovernment.com</a> are doing an excellent job chronicling the outrageous activities of Code Pink and its leadership over the years. Most recently, Code Pink has organized a <a href="http://www.gazafreedommarch.org/" target="_blank">“Gaza Freedom March”</a> to call for an end to the blockade of the Gaza Strip, currently controlled by Hamas. The organization boasts that they have provided humanitarian aid to the territory, and has done so under the <a href="http://www.thereminder.com/localnews/greaterspringfield/massachusettswomen/" target="_blank">protection</a> of Hamas. The terrorist group often diverts such aid for its own purposes, and it should be suspected that this is no different. Hamas also builds support by providing social services, so if such aid didn’t directly go to supporting the group’s violent operations, it certainly did go to support its recruiting efforts.</p>
<p>Hamas is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, a radical Islamic organization whose goal is to wage “a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” In other words, it wants to create a worldwide Islamic state. Code Pink has also teamed up with this extremist organization, placing ads on its website <a href="http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/01/11/code-pink-to-muslims-help-us-cleanse-our-country/" target="_blank">asking</a> them to “join us in cleansing our country.”</p>
<p>Code Pink has been embraced by the Iranian government as well. <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1628" target="_blank">Jodie Evans</a>, one of the group’s leaders, <a href="http://forpeace.net/news/2008/09/24/convenes-meeting-peace-activists-and-president-ahmadinejad" target="_blank">met</a> with Ahmadinejad in New York in September 2008, resulting in a trip to the country two months later. The group met with high-level government officials, and <a href="http://codepink4peace.org/blog/2008/09/official-release-leading-codepink-activists-and-other-peace-organizations-meet-with-iranian-president-in-new-york/" target="_blank">offered</a> to help fund a “peace park” and environmentally-friendly businesses in Tehran. Co-founder of Code Pink Medea Benjamin praised the prices of public transportation in Iran and <a href="http://codepinkdc.blogspot.com/2008/11/medeas-blog-day-1-iran-citizen.html" target="_blank">said</a> she was “struck by how much more open Iran is than I had thought.”</p>
<p>To their credit, Code Pink did <a href="http://www.opposingviews.com/articles/opinion-code-pink-supports-peaceful-protests-in-iran" target="_blank">express sympathy</a> for the protestors confronting the regime this summer, but called on the U.S. to lift sanctions and end threatening language and supported President Obama’s initial silence. In other words, Code Pink said they supported the Iranian people, but did not want do anything to support the Iranian people.</p>
<p>In January 2006, Evans and other colleagues including Cindy Sheehan met with Venezuela’s President Chavez. Benjamin had previously <a href="http://www.codepinkalert.org/article.php?id=767" target="_blank">described</a> Chavez as a “doll,” and <a href="http://www.codepinkalert.org/article.php?id=117" target="_blank">said</a> “George Bush—and John Kerry for that matter—could learn a thing or two from Hugo Chavez about winning the hearts and minds of the people.”</p>
<p>Jodie Evans’ reaction to the 9/11 attacks shows a complete ignorance of the ideological element of the terrorists, instead linking the disaster to Middle Eastern anger over U.S. foreign policy. She agreed in an <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O758gyZqxlw" target="_blank">interview</a> that Bin Laden had a valid argument against the U.S., and said, “Why do we have bases in the Middle East? We totally violated the rights of that country,” referring to Saudi Arabia. Apparently, Evans is unaware that those bases were constructed with the permission of the Saudi government and are meant to protect the country from the very people she defends, like Saddam Hussein.</p>
<p>In 2003, Saddam hosted Evans and other Code Pink members in Iraq, aware that their anti-war activism had crossed the line into propaganda efforts on his behalf. As long as a regime redistributes wealth and is socialistic in how it governs, the country is praised by Code Pink, who seems to have little passion for promoting democracy, free markets or the human rights of oppressed citizens overseas. This type of thinking was apparent when she <a href="http://www.troopshomefast.org/article.php?id=1158" target="_blank">praised</a> Saddam Hussein’s social services, saying “there was a good education and health care system, food for everyone. That system didn’t belong to Saddam, it belonged to the Iraqis, it belonged to year of creating what a civilization needed. If your parents didn’t send you to school, they could be put in jail.”</p>
<p>After Saddam’s toppling, Evans supported the insurgents fighting American soldiers, ignoring the fact that many of these were foreign jihadists affiliated with Al-Qaeda-type groups, and were former members of Saddam Hussein’s Republican Guards, Fedayeen militia, and intelligence service. To Code Pink, these forces of oppression and evil were the representatives of the Iraqi people fighting for liberation. They are completely unaware that the insurgents fight not only against American forces, but target Iraqi civilians and want to overthrow Iraq’s elected democratic government.</p>
<p>“We must begin by really standing with the Iraqi people and defending their right to resist. I can remain myself against all forms of violence, and yet I cannot judge what someone has to do when pushed to the wall to protect all they love. The Iraqi people are fighting for their country, to protect their families and to preserve all they love. They are fighting for their lives, and we are fighting for lies,” Evans <a href="http://www.alternet.org/story/22308/?page=entire%22" target="_blank">wrote</a> on June 26, 2005.</p>
<p>When Coalition forces began an offensive into Fallujah when it was the primary safe harbor of the insurgents, Code Pink reacted by <a href="http://www.codepink4peace.org/article.php?id=261" target="_blank">delivering</a> tens of thousands of dollars in humanitarian aid to its residents. This act sounds noble on the surface, but when you consider the group’s sympathy for the insurgents, it is quite possible that this aid was given to the enemy side. Furthermore, Evans and her delegation <a href="http://97.74.65.51/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=30624" target="_blank">met</a> with Iraqi politicians connected to the extremist Iranian-backed militia leader, Moqtada al-Sadr, and other supporters of killing American soldiers.</p>
<p>Evans has even, <a href="http://janefonda.com/armand-hammer-museum" target="_blank">according to her friend, Jane Fonda,</a> met with members of the Taliban in Afghanistan and Benjamin has tried to paint them as being motivated by lack of employment.</p>
<p>“Everybody we talked to said that most of the Taliban are poor rural people, $10-a-day Taliban, who are doing this for economic reasons. If you want to encourage people to stop fighting, encourage them to work,” Benjamin <a href="http://atwar.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/12/code-pink-in-kabul/" target="_blank">said</a>.</p>
<p>According to an account posted on the Free Republic forum, a group of counter-protestors were confronted by Evans on August 30, 2004. During the exchange, Evans reportedly <a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1204883/posts" target="_blank">said</a>, “We have nothing against communism.” This shouldn’t be surprising considering Medea Benjamin’s <a href="http://97.74.65.51/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=21112" target="_blank">ties</a> to the Workers World Party and described her life in Cuba as feeling like she had “died and went to heaven.”</p>
<p>Today, Code Pink is <a href="http://www.womensaynotowar.org/article.php?list=type&amp;type=400" target="_blank">campaigning</a> against President Obama’s decision to send 30,000 more soldiers to Afghanistan and against the use of drones in Pakistan. Politics seems to pull more weight than principle though, as Code Pink is <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-South-Central/2009/1006/p06s10-wosc.html" target="_blank">against</a> an immediate withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan for the exact same reasons as such a move would be wrong in Iraq. President Obama can pursue a similar type of policy that Code Pink lambasted under the previous administration, but they aren’t calling for <a href="http://www.codepink4peace.org/article.php?id=4722" target="_blank">citizens&#8217; arrests</a> of him and his officials like they are doing for members of the Bush Administration.</p>
<p>Code Pink’s embracing of anti-American actors is part of a calculated strategy. Medea <a href="http://www.thenation.com/doc/20030421/benjamin" target="_blank">wrote</a> in 2003 that members of the movement she belonged to needed to “link up with appropriate local and regional groups” overseas to “channel the bursting anti-American sentiment overseas.” Forces supporting America are left out as part of the equation.</p>
<p>Code Pink is not a group genuinely promoting peace and human rights. The organization links up and supports virtually any anti-American actor, ignoring their oppression of their citizens that can hardly qualify as “peace” and the threat that they pose. In choosing its friends, Code Pink’s leadership has decided that the sole standard is that they must be an enemy of the United States.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Chavez becomes a major player in narcotics trafficking.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-45822" title="chavez" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/chavez.jpg" alt="chavez" width="450" height="294" /></p>
<p>On January 9, Hugo Chavez announced that two Venezuelan F-16s had been dispatched to intercept a U.S. P3 maritime patrol aircraft in his country’s airspace, presenting it as another example of American aggression. In reality, Chavez is trying to push back against U.S. anti-narcotics efforts because he knows that it will expose him as a drug king pin whose business is helping terrorists and poisoning Western societies.</p>
<p>As widely reported, Venezuela supports the Marxist narco-terrorist group called the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, commonly referred to as FARC. This group has been <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2010/01/05/world/worldwatch/entry6058116.shtml">found</a> to be working with Al-Qaeda drug traffickers in West Africa, three of which were extradited to the U.S. in December. Faced with increased interceptions of cocaine from Latin  America directly to the U.S., the Venezuelans and their Colombian allies are instead transiting via West  Africa.</p>
<p>“All of the aircraft seizures that have been made in West  Africa, and we’ve made about a half a dozen of them, had departed from Venezuela. If you look at the range and refueling requirements, that’s the place you have to fly from,” Jay Bergman, the Drug Enforcement Agency’s director for South  America’s Andean region <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34699790/ns/world_news-americas/">told</a> <em>MSNBC.com.</em></p>
<p>Venezuela has become the number one supplier of cocaine to the U.S., Spain, and Colombia, with the amount <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8160639.stm">increasing</a> by four times between 2004 and 2007. Over half of the cocaine in the United   Kingdom, and possibly as high as two-thirds, <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/venezuela/2205687/Hugo-Chavezs-Venezuela-supplies-half-of-Britains-cocaine.html">arrives</a> via Venezuela. Since Chavez has come to power, the number of drug-related arrests in Venezuela has <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/venezuela/2205687/Hugo-Chavezs-Venezuela-supplies-half-of-Britains-cocaine.html">fallen</a> dramatically, at one point to less than one-tenth of the number before he came to power.</p>
<p>The Venezuelan also uses FARC and its drug networks to support other forces friendly to their anti-American cause. As Iran and Chavez have gotten closer, so has Hezbollah with the FARC and Venezuelan officials. After Jose Manuel Zelaya was ousted from power in Honduras, it was claimed by the Honduran Foreign Minister that Zelaya and Chavez had been collaborating in sending cocaine to the U.S.</p>
<p>“Every night, three or four Venezuelan-registered planes land without the permission of appropriate authorities and bring thousands of pounds…and packages of money that are the fruit of drug trafficking…We have proof of all of this. Neighboring governments have it. The DEA has it,” he <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=8173824&amp;page=3">said.</a></p>
<p>This cannot be attributed to widespread corruption in Latin  America. This is a calculated effort on the part of Chavez’s government. In September 2008, the Treasury Department <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/18/AR2009071801785.html">blacklisted</a> three senior Venezuelan officials for their involvement in supporting FARC and their drug activity. This included the head of Venezuela’s military intelligence, the head of their overall intelligence community, and a former interior and justice minister.</p>
<p>On January 21, 2008, the White House’s drug czar dismissed the notion that the drug trafficking in Venezuela was not necessarily a government enterprise.</p>
<p>“Where are the big seizures, where are the big arrests of individuals who are at least logistical coordinators? When it’s being launched from controlled airports and seaports, where are the arrests of corrupt officials? At some point here, this is tantamount to collusion,” he <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2008/jan/21/world/fg-chavez21">said.</a></p>
<p>Chavez is doing this because it works. It is a good intelligence tool, as it allows for the penetration of enemy institutions, and is a great fundraiser for covert activities and terrorists. Venezuela and their allies are able to profit off of the self-induced damage of Western drug addicts, and can use drug trafficking to support forces that wreak havoc upon their enemies.</p>
<p>Although no direct evidence of Venezuelan government support for Mexican drug gangs is available, their overall support for narcotics trafficking to the U.S. undoubtedly helps them wage war. In 2005, Mexico and Venezuela <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2005-11-14-mexicochavez_x.htm">severed</a> ties and recalled their ambassadors after Chavez accused President Vicente Fox of being a “puppy” of the U.S. and threatened him, saying “Don’t mess with me, sir, because you’ll get stung.” Although ties were restored in 2007, Mexico is still governed by the same political party as Fox under President Felipe Calderon, an opponent of Chavez.</p>
<p>Chavez has reacted to U.S. concern over this activity with dismissal. In 2005, he ended all cooperation with the Drug Enforcement Agency. He has actually accused the DEA of being the ones behind the drug trafficking in his country, and has <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2008/aug/03/world/fg-drugs3">minimized</a> their presence to only two agents by not renewing their work visas. Chavez has publicly opposed the War on Drugs, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16302074/">describing</a> it in 2006 as “an excuse that imperialists have used for several years to penetrate our country, trample our people and justify a military presence in Latin America.”</p>
<p>Venezuela is not merely supporting drug trafficking due to corruption, make money, and support its FARC ally, but as an instrument of policy. And there should be a price to pay for that policy.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44224" title="Hizballah Toronto" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Hizballah-Toronto.jpg" alt="Hizballah Toronto" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Here are three photos from the &#8220;Gaza Freedom March&#8221; in Toronto on December 27. The top one, of the chappie with the flag of the jihad terrorist group Hizballah, comes from <a href="http://www.shalomlife.com/eng/article.php?id=3276" target="_blank">Shalom Life</a>, where in &#8220;Hizbollah Flag in Downtown Toronto,&#8221; Jonathan Dahoah Halevi (translation by Elad Benari) gives a useful account of the demonstration.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44239" title="Nazi Salute 01" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Nazi-Salute-01.jpg" alt="Nazi Salute 01" width="480" height="640" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-44240" title="Nazi Salute 02" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Nazi-Salute-02.jpg" alt="Nazi Salute 02" width="500" height="396" /></p>
<p>The other two photos come from <a href="http://lumpygrumpyandfrumpy.blogspot.com/2009/12/nazi-salutes-at-gaza-freedom-march.html" target="_blank">Lumpy, Grumpy and Frumpy</a>, where there are <a href="http://lumpygrumpyandfrumpy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">many more</a>. The two here show pro-Palestinian demonstrators giving the Nazi salute, and <a href="http://blazingcatfur.blogspot.com/2009/12/nazis-for-gaza-freedom-march-in-toronto.html" target="_blank">Blazing Cat Fur</a> explains the significance of the second one:</p>
<blockquote><p>Something caught my eye in one of her photos which I posted below, notice the &#8220;flag staff&#8221;, it reads &#8220;Palestine House&#8221;. I guess Nazi Ideology is part of the curriculum taught in their &#8221; language instruction and <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">lebensraum</span> immigrant settlement programs&#8221;. You know, the ones your taxes pay for.This is taken from NGO Monitor&#8217;s submission to the CPCCA posted below.</p>
<p>•Palestine House Educational (PHE) (Mississauga, Ontario): PHE received <strong><em>$747,314</em></strong> from the Canadian government in 2008-9 for language instruction ; and Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has two agreements totaling over <strong><em>$3 million through 2010</em></strong> for language instruction and immigrant settlement.</p></blockquote>
<p>There is more. <a href="http://blazingcatfur.blogspot.com/2009/12/nazis-for-gaza-freedom-march-in-toronto.html" target="_blank">Read it all</a>. Also, the great <a href="http://www.fivefeetoffury.com/:entry:fivefeet-2009-12-30-0003/" target="_blank">Shaidle </a>was there.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-40747" title="tawfik" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/tawfik.gif" alt="tawfik" width="450" height="457" /></p>
<p>As a young man in Cairo, Hamid Tawfik was recruited into the Egyptian terrorist group Al-Jamaa Islamiya. While he never carried out a terrorist attack, he espoused radical Islam and met with senior terrorist leaders, including Ayman Al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda’s second in command. Impelled by his conscience,<em> </em>Dr. Tawfik would go on to make a decisive break with Islamic terrorism. Today, he calls himself a “reformer of Islam” and, despite threats to his life, speaks out against the extremists whose ranks he once shared. In the following video, Dr. Hamid Tawfik discusses his way into and out of Islamic terrorism and exposes the psychology of Muslim terrorists from the inside out. He also sends a special message to the Jewish people. <strong>To watch the video, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2wvqDfitLY">click here.</a></strong></p>
