This info via Doc's Talk:
Obama has appointed Arif Alikhan to a position with the Dept. of Homeland Security. Alikhan is reported to be affiliated with MPAC [ Muslim Public Affairs Council].
MPAC has major credibility problems and has advocated positions on issues contrary to America's national interests, and the national interests of our closests allys.
IPT has more:
Edina Lekovic, who serves as communications director for MPAC, was a "managing editor" of Al-Talib magazine which featured text in an article written by their staff that praised Osama Bin Laden as a "freedom fighter".
During a television interview on CNBC's Kudlow and Co. in June of 2007 in which Steven Emerson ,of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, was also on the program, Lekovic denied that this was true.
After the interview Lekovic sent an angry e-mail letter to Emerson that her name appeared on the Al-Talib magazine's masthead by mistake.
However, Steven Emerson of IPT has provided clear evidence to the contrary.
MPAC, along with CAIR, were instrumental in pressuring the LAPD into abandoning a program to monitor the city's Muslim community. Arif Alikhan moderated a meeting with city officials in which the decision to abandon the program was announced.
Last July '08, members of MPAC demonstrated outside Congressman Brad Sherman's office demanding that a planned subcommittee hearing on whether or not some U.S. aid is finding it's way into the hands of terrorists be canceled.
Now just why would they do that? They are not concerned that U.S. funds could be used to actually support anti-American Islamist terror organizations? Or, which is most likely the case, they don't want efforts made to keep U.S. funds out of the hands of terrorists.
MPAC executive, Salam Al-Marayati, on the day of the 9/11 Islamic terror attacks against America said this,
"If we are going to look at suspects, we should look at groups that benefit the most from these kinds of incidents, and I think we should put the State of Israel on the suspect list…"
IPT also reports that Hassan Hathout, a founding member of MPAC, has been described as "a close disciple of the late Hassan Al-Banna of Egypt, and a founder of the terrorist organization Muslim Brotherhood.
There is more on MPAC from IPT here and from Discover the Networks here.
Now just why would Obama appoint a man to a position with the Dept. of Homeland Security who is affiliated with MPAC?
