Diplomatic Credentials Can Be Revoked-Personnel Can Be Escorted to Airports

Another good reason to remove the HQ of the UN from American soil and put it somewhere. How stupid do you have to be to not see the potential for abuse of diplomatic cover? Islamist extremists will not stop until they or we are defeated. These people are not spies gathering intelligence for a government; they are fanatical extremists planning to kill as many American citizens as they can.
This is reality.
These people are serious.
They actually believe they will go to heaven if they die in the act of killing innocents.

Wherever We Stand, We Stand With Israel

In a hearing before the House Committee on Homeland Security last month, Rep. Peter King (R-NY), the chair of the committee, sounded alarm bells about “Iranian and Hezbollah terrorists” operating in the United States. More disturbingly, investigators and officials at the hearing said their assessments included apparent surveillance missions of sensitive targets across the country being carried out by these individuals, some of them with diplomatic credentials linked to Iran and the UN.

An investigation by his (Rep. King’s) staff had determined that " Hezbollah terrorists" were in the United States…An alarming part of the officials' assessments focuses on the apparent surveillance missions that Iranian diplomats and possible Hezbollah operatives have been seen conducting at sensitive targets such as New York subways and bridges, and at nuclear power plants and tunnels elsewhere in the United States in the past 10 years…The renewed focus on Hezbollah - which U.S. counter-terrorism officials regard as the most potent and disciplined of Islamic militant groups, even more so than al Qaeda-comes amid a growing confrontation over Iran's nuclear program.…At least a handful of people in New York connected with Hezbollah have also undergone military training in Lebanon, the official said…One factor heightening U.S. officials' concern about Hezbollah-related attacks is the accumulation of accounts of alleged attempts by Iranian operatives to "case" potential U.S. targets.

This is disturbing news that did not make the national headlines when it was announced last month. For this reason it is now more important than ever that you hear exactly what intelligence officials know and believe Iran is capable of on American soil.

To further raise alarms, an annual CIA report released to Congress indicates what Israel already knows: Iran is enriching uranium to 20% at its underground fortress, the final step towards deciding to make weapons grade fuel. But the report also paints a disturbing picture of Iran’s other weapons programs and the consequences of these weapons falling in the wrong hands.

In the field of weapons development, the report claimed that Iran continued its work on long-range ballistic missiles, in addition to its development of missiles threatening naval vessels in the Persian Gulf;…Iran, in addition, is striving toward a completely independent ballistic missile assembly line…U.S. intelligence also estimated that Iran had maintained its chemical and biological warfare capabilities, as well as developing what could be offensive applications of these capacities

Last Thoughts on Former Obama Muslim Advisor and His Ties to the Muslim Brotherhood

Now that the furor has died down over the [1] resignation of Mazen Asbahi, the former Obama campaign Muslim outreach coordinator, it may be instructive to take an overall view of the question of his ties to the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood.
Unfortunately, the larger question of these ties has gotten lost in the media focus only on his membership on the board of a Brotherhood organization where an imam of a mosque implicated in Brotherhood/Hamas support activities also served.
Further confusing this issue is the [2] spin pushed by the U.S. Brotherhood itself which has claimed that Asbahi’s service on the board of Allied Asset Advisers is being used to “smear” Mr. Asbahi. What then is actually know about Mr. Asbahi himself?

According to a local media [3] account, Mr. Asbahi, the son of immigrants from Syria, grew up in Northville Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. He attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in 1996, graduating with a degree in political science and Islamic studies, followed by Northwestern University law school and then became an attorney in Chicago. Left out of this account is Mr. Asbahi’s role as a leader of the Muslim Student Association (MSA) at the University of Michigan as discussed in an earlier [4] post. In 2000, probably while still in law school or shortly after graduation, he joined the board of Allied Asset Advisers as a trustee. As the original [5] post on Mr. Asbahi detailed, Allied Assets Advisers is a subsidiary of the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), in turn a part of the U.S Muslim Brotherhood and associated with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). NAIT was instrumental in the early development of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood and is the current title holder to a very large number of U.S. mosques and Islamic facilities. As this post also observed, the other five Allied trustees were all important leaders of the U.S Muslim Brotherhood including not only Jamal Said, the imam in question, but also four others, two of which have been identified in court documents and internal Brotherhood documents as part of the U.S. Brotherhood.

Mr. Asbahi has been widely quoted as stating that he resigned from the Allied board when learning about the allegations against Mr. Said whose mosque was later implicated by a Chicago Tribune [6] investigation in activities related to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. While no documentation has been produced to support his stated reasons for resignation, even taking Mr. Asbahi’s explanation at face value raises an even more important question which no journalist has yet thought to raise. How does a 24/25 year old law student or newly-minted lawyer come to be awarded fiduciary responsibility for a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood financial organization along with five other nationally known U.S. Brotherhood leaders? While part of the answer may lie in Mr. Asbahi’s leadership in the Muslim Student Association, experience with the Brotherhood suggest that family connections could also be a fruitful area for
investigation.

It should also be repeated that Mr. Asbahi went on to join four other organizations with connections to the U.S. Brotherhood. Three of these have been discussed in earlier [4] posts to which a fourth, can be added– the Nawawi Foundation, an Illinois organization that also has Ingrid Mattson, the current ISNA president on its [7] board. Mr Asbahi’s history of service to U.S. Brotherhood linked organizations and his close proximity to U.S. Brotherhood leaders along with his fiduciary responsibility for a Brotherhood financial organization strongly suggest that the question of Mr.
Asbahi’s ties to the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood was and remains an important issue to examine in connection with an adviser to a U.S. Presidential candidate.
