| Big Sis in secret talks with Muzzie Brotherhood |
| 2010-02-17 |
| Last month, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and her senior staff privately met in Washington, D.C., with a select group of Muslim, Arab, and Sikh organizations. Among the mix were three organizations directly associated with an outlawed terrorist entity — the Muslim Brotherhood. Secretary Napolitano spent an hour and a half briefing them on Department of Homeland Security (DHS) counter-radicalization and anti-terrorist programs. The intensive briefings spanned two days (January 27 and 28) and were called by the DHS. Although there is no evidence of an exchange of classified information, this meeting was the beginning of an Obama administration program aimed at devising a new information-sharing framework with the Muslim organizations — some of them regarded as extremist because of their ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The group is to meet regularly with DHS senior aides and with Napolitano. This program was imported from the United Kingdom. The Obama administration has decided to replicate the UK program to win over Muslims and to get them to collaborate with the federal government. Although Matthew Chandler, deputy press secretary and spokesman for Secretary Napolitano, refused to comment on the meetings or identify the groups that attended the two-day session, Pajamas Media has learned the identities of a number of the participants and interviewed them — including those linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. A former U.S. intelligence officer told PJM: The “counter-radicalization' program is something that the other side created for us. … It initially started in Britain. The Muslim Brotherhood groups suggested it. We went over there and got it. We thought it was a great idea and now we're using it. It's the enemy giving us a way to destroy ourselves. Another Muslim leader from the meeting was Salam al-Marayati, the executive director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC). MPAC has a long history of defending terrorist acts. Al-Marayati repeatedly defended the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, the Muslim “charity' which was convicted of nine federal criminal counts and in 2001 was identified by the U.S. Treasury Department as a “Specially Designated Terrorist.' In a 1999 PBS interview, al-Marayati called Hezbollah attacks on Israel “legitimate resistance.' |

| #4 @#2 When I pray I look up to heaven for guidance. Muzzies on the other hand, kneel down and peer into Satan's realm for their religious instruction. |

| #1 "ItÂ’s the enemy giving us a way to destroy ourselves." When talking with the enemy - disclose all your secrets. Sounds secure to me. I cannot believe this is happening. The entire government has become inept, incompetent, and silly. Fire them all. |
