| CAIR Planting Spies In Congress |
| 2009-10-14 |
| Four House Republicans are accusing a Muslim advocacy group of trying to plant spies. Republican members of the Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus say the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), tried to plant "spies" within key national security committees to shape legislative policy in its favor. Reps. Sue Myrick (R-N.C.), John Shadegg (R-Ariz.), Paul Broun (R-Ga.) and Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), citing the recently released book Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that's Conspiring to Islamize America, called for the House sergeant at arms to investigate whether CAIR had been successful in placing interns on key committees. The lawmakers are specifically focused on the House Homeland Security Committee, Intelligence Committee and Judiciary Committee. "If an organization is connected to or supports terrorists [and] is running influence operations or planting spies in key national security-related offices I think this needs to be made known," Broun said. "So I join my colleagues here today in calling for action." The book, which was written by P. David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry with a forward by Myrick, is scheduled to be released Thursday. A representative of CAIR called the accusations unfounded and worried that they would tarnish the improving relations between Muslim and non-Muslim Americans. "God forbid American Muslims take part in the political process and exercise their rights," said Ibrahim Hooper, a CAIR spokesman, in a telephone interview. "I suppose they're going to investigate the Muslim Staffers Association next. "If these people weren't so hate-filled, it would be laughable, but unfortunately they have an audience and given their positions, it's going to get picked up by the hate blogs." This is not a job for the sergeant at arms. This is a job for the FBI, the NSA, and especially the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive. |

| #2 "Improving relations"? Annual PEW polls reveal an increasing distrust for Muslims. Those people CANNOT treat a secular, pluralist state as anything but a usurpatious political entity that seizes sovereignty from the nominal islamic deity ("allah"). You can trust a muslim as far as you can spit against a hurricane. |

| #1 In a related story: CAIR spent $160,000 to silence Savage: New book reveals memos behind campaign to run radio star off the air Internal CAIR documents uncovered in Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America show that despite its high cost and the continued success of Savage's show, CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad believed the campaign was "worth every penny," because, he says, the radio star lost at least $1 million in advertising. Authors P. David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry recount how CAIR ran out of money before it could crack Savage's most loyal sponsors. In their new book, Gaubatz, a counter-terrorism investigator and former federal agent with vast experience in the Middle East, and Sperry, a veteran reporter on the war on terror and author of "Infiltration," document CAIR's role as a U.S. front for the Muslim Brotherhood's plan to transform America into an Islamic nation under the authority of the Quran.
