A powerful new book is wreaking havoc with the reputation myriad Islamic organizations in America have been carefully cultivating for years. Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that's Trying to Islamize America (WND Books, 2009) reveals that, far from the moderate Muslim "mainstream" they profess to represent, these entities are associated with the insidious Muslim Brotherhood – an international criminal enterprise that has the self-professed mission of "destroying Western civilization from within."

Muslim Mafia is the product of acclaimed journalist and author Paul Sperry and former Air Force investigator P. David Gaubatz. Much of it is informed by a six-month undercover operation conducted by the latter, his son Chris and several others into the organization Sperry calls the tip of the Brotherhood's spear in America: the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Chris Gaubatz and two female researchers affected the appearance of Muslims who adhere to the theo-political-legal program authoritative Islam calls "Shariah." They volunteered as interns with CAIR and, in due course, were taken into the confidence of senior officials including notably the organization's co-founder and executive director, Nihad Awad, and Ibrahim Hooper, its aggressive spokesman.

Such was the professionalism of Chris Gaubatz's undercover work that he was given boxes of documents to dispose of – which he did, in a fashion. Upon discovering that the papers included materials relating to CAIR's strategic plans, personnel, modus operandi and funding sources, the investigative team reviewed them carefully for evidence of conduct at odds with U.S. national security and other interests, if not downright criminal behavior.

Copies were made and 52 of the thousands of pages the younger Gaubatz was given by CAIR are reproduced in the book's appendix. Muslim Mafia draws on Chris Gaubatz's findings to paint a troubling portrait of CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood-tied entities doing business under such names as the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), the Muslim Students Association (MSA), the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), etc.

These organizations are working to transform the United States into an Islamic nation, governed not by the Constitution but by Shariah and subordinated ultimately to a global Muslim theocracy. Toward that end, Muslim Mafia shows how CAIR has assiduously sought to penetrate U.S. decision-making circles, mounting successful influence operations against the executive, congressional and judicial branches.

Its agents have been: included in official outreach efforts to the Muslim American community; selected by the State Department to represent the United States to foreign Muslim populations through government –underwritten speakers programs overseas; tapped to provide "sensitivity training" to the FBI and other law enforcement organizations; and prominently involved in legal proceedings advancing Shariah's supremacist program.

In addition, CAIR officials like Hooper have been perceived as exemplary representatives of Muslims in America by many in the media – the sort of error that the Brotherhood and its ilk capitalize upon in order to legitimize their operations and further expand their influence.

Thanks to Muslim Mafia, we know that it is neither accurate nor desirable to afford the Council on American Islamic Relations such legitimacy, nor prudent to accede to its demands. Far from the grassroots powerhouse it professes to be, CAIR is exposed as a fraud.

In the words of Sperry and Gaubatz, "Like the Wizard of Oz who used smoke and mirrors to transform his modest stature into something larger than life, CAIR furiously works its own levers and buttons to create an illusion of size and power." In fact, the authors reveal that the organization may have as few as 2,000 members nationwide and is running serious operating deficits.

They contend that, but for significant infusions of foreign funding – "some 60 percent of CAIR's total budget," the organization would not be able to stay in business. Sperry and Gaubatz identify such funding for CAIR as coming from "individuals, foundations and sovereign wealth funds closely identified with Arab governments."

Among these generous donors are members of the Saudi royal family and the kingdom's preeminent institutions for spreading Shariah, including the World Association of Muslim Youth (WAMY).

Even CAIR's professions of being the guardian of Muslims' rights and interests are shown by Sperry and Gaubatz to be fraudulent.

For example, the undercover investigation revealed evidence that dozens of poor Muslim immigrants were misled into believing they were receiving legal advice from a CAIR employee who turned out not to be a lawyer and to be dunning them for services he had not rendered.

According to a lawsuit filed on behalf of victims of this fraud, when CAIR discovered the truth, the organization covered it up and allegedly threatened to sue the latter if they went public.

Muslim Mafia puts us all on notice:

The Council on American Islamic Relations – and, for that matter, other organizations that were, like CAIR, identified last year by the government as associated with the Muslim Brotherhood in the course of the successful prosecution of the Brotherhood's Holy Land Foundation on charges of supporting terrorism – are part of the problem we face from Shariah, not part of the solution.

If America is to avoid being "destroyed from within," we must not only recognize this reality. We must act on it.

Messrs, Sperry and Gaubatz have rendered a real public service by exposing the truth about the Muslim Brotherhood in America in a highly readable and accessible way. Now it is up to us to ensure that the Muslim Brothers are treated as they enemies they are, not as reliable allies in the War for the Free World.

This is retarded

Care to elaborate or is this your proffesional opinion?

we don't say "retarded" anymore

it's offensive to the special kids and people

instead say, "this is developmentally disabled"

Fear Monger Much....
is this another catholic demonizing an "evil" religion....
it seems to be the goal of all religion to be the only religion

These types of groups represent a very small percentage of a very small minority. There is no debating the guilt of the holyland foundation, but I find CAIR a necessary irritant. If it weren't for them, who would publicly condemn the acts of their brothers? haha

think of em as missionaries

we send missionaries to Africa to convert the poor heathens

if they convert us all willingly then it's just Freedom of Religion

google "coca cola muslim"

interesting lecture given by "reverted" muslim Abdur Raheem Green

It's long, over an hour but it gives amazing insight into the midset of a segment of the muslim world

About 15 minutes in he begins talking about the war of ideologies between Islam and the West. Very telling.. One of Islam's more celebrated scholars talking about Islam being at war, at least, ideologically if not with arms, with the West.

listen near the end when he gives the "Are you a coca cola muslim" quiz wherein the respondent's binary/yes or no answer is designed to tell whether one is a true muslim or a "cocacola muslim".

The following is a sampling of some of the questions (and answers with their bearing on the question, "Are you a Coca Cola Muslim") that I found interesting:

Q: Do you think a man should have only one wife?

if yes, one point for being a cocacola muslim..

Q: Do you think of marriage as a match held together by love or a working relationship trying to build a better muslim nation?

If you think marriage is a lovey-dovey kind of affair, a big tic for being a cocacola muslim..

Q: Are you planning to have 2 or 3 kids at the most and give them the best or are you hoping for a footbal team?

If you are planning to have one, or two kids at the most and give them the best, you a re definitely in the cocacola muslim league, conquered by the West ideologically.

Q: Would you prefer to take a mortgage or be content with rent?

If you want to take a mortgage, give yourself 5, 10, 15 points for being a coca cola muslim

Exhorts Islamic faithful to target planes carrying '82nd Airborne'

A Council on American-Islamic Relations adviser and regular speaker at its events has suggested Islamic law permits Muslims to attack C-130 military transport planes carrying the 82nd Airborne out of Fort Bragg, N.C., according to a stunning new book exposing Washington-based CAIR's inner workings.

Radical Islamic cleric Zaid Shakir, a frequent guest speaker at CAIR events, tells his Muslim audiences: "Jihad is physically fighting the enemies of Islam to protect and advance the religion of Islam. This is jihad."

Acceptable targets of jihad, he says, include U.S. military aircraft.

"Islam doesn't permit us to hijack airplanes filled with civilian people," Shakir once told a Muslim audience. However, "If you hijack an airplane filled with the 82nd Airborne, that's something else."

The 82nd Airborne Division's elite paratroopers fly out of Fort Bragg, N.C., which is part of North Carolina state Sen. Larry Shaw's district. Shaw is CAIR's new chairman.

The bombshell revelation comes in the wake of the worst military massacre at a domestic U.S. military base in American history, and the worst Islamic terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11.

Last week, Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly gunned down in cold blood more than 50 of his fellow soldiers preparing to deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan from Fort Hood, Texas. Eyewitnesses say before opening fire, Hasan jumped up on a desk and screamed, "Allahu akbar!" like the 9/11 hijackers. The suspect fatally shot 13, including a security guard. The death toll is actually 14 when a slain unborn child is counted.

Imam Shakir also gives his blessing to the use of bombs as a weapon of jihad, as long as the explosives hit "select" targets and are not indiscriminate in their destruction. Civilians can be a legitimate target, he says, if "there's a benefit in that.

Even "old elderly men" and "women who are conscripted" – including Israeli and American women in uniform – are eligible enemy combatants in jihad. "This is Shariah," Shakir asserts in a CD recording of one of his lectures in 2001.

Shakir, a black convert, has been portrayed as a moderate in the mainstream media, including the New York Times, which recently ran a positive profile of him. His pro-jihad statements revealed in "Muslim Mafia" have not been previously reported. CAIR has sued and obtained a temporary restraining order to censor the book's documentary evidence detailing CAIR's support of terrorism and obstruction of FBI investigations.

Longtime CAIR advisory board member and chief fundraiser Siraj Wahhaj echoes his friend Shakir's interpretation of jihad.

"If we go to war, brothers and sisters – and one day we will, believe me – that's why you're commanded [to fight in] jihad," the imam has told his flock in Brooklyn. "When Allah demands us to fight, we're not stopping and nobody's stopping us."

World Trade Center bombing

CAIR has invited Shakir back to speak at its events even after the FBI questioned him about a copy of one of his incendiary pamphlets found in the apartment of a suspect in the first World Trade Center bombing. The pro-jihad pamphlet lauded the "armed struggle" that brought about the rule of the Taliban in Afghanistan, where U.S. troops are dying in record numbers from Taliban and al-Qaida ambushes.

Shakir, who recently confided to the New York Times that he'd like to see the U.S. "become a Muslim country" ruled by Islamic law, is a regular speaker at CAIR as well as Islamic Society of North America events. (Federal prosecutors say CAIR and ISNA are fronts for the terrorist group Hamas and its parent the radical Muslim Brotherhood, and the sister organizations were recently listed as unindicted terrorist co-conspirators in the largest terror finance case in U.S. history.) Recently, Shakir helped host workshops and delivered keynote speeches at banquets held at CAIR chapters in Chicago, Orlando and San Diego, among others.

"Imam Zaid's speeches are very practical and bring the best out of his listeners," said former CAIR official Ibrahim Moiz, a close personal friend who invited Shakir to speak to Muslims in Maryland.

The cleric has not tempered his jihadist views.

"I don't regret anything I've done or said," Shakir has insisted.

Shakir holds little, if any, respect for law enforcement, particularly the FBI, according to "Muslim Mafia." He constantly belittles the bureau in speeches to Muslims, even warning them that the FBI frames Muslims for terrorism – terrorist acts that he contends the FBI secretly commits.

"The World Trade Center bombing of course was aided and abetted by our good friends at the FBI," the imam has claimed, in just one of the many wild-eyed conspiracy theories he peddles.

'State within a state'

The American Muslim cleric also preaches treason against the United States.

Shakir advises the Muslim community in America to wage a cultural jihad now, and a violent jihad later – once the proper "infrastructure" is in place.

He says Muslims should respect American democracy insofar as it can be exploited to help the Brotherhood one day assume power here.

And the only thing that could stop the Islamization of America, he notes, is if its people rose up and denied the subversive movement the unbridled freedom it's heretofore enjoyed.

However, if Americans were to do that, Muslims would then be obligated, he says, to exercise their supposedly "divine legal right" to rise up and wage violent jihad.

"What a great victory it will be for Islam to have this country in the fold and ranks of the Muslims," sermonized Shakir, who continues to be a marquee speaker at CAIR functions.

For now, he said, following the radical Muslim Brotherhood playbook, Muslims must continue to "create a state within a state."

This is more than retard .
The good news is Obama's father was a MUSLIM and our friends who hate Isl;am can do nothing about that .
