CPAC's Suhail Khan addressing Muslim Brotherhood front the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), co-conspirator in the largest Hamas funding terror trial:
“The early Muslims loved death, dying for the sake of almighty Allah, more than the oppressors loved life,” said an impassioned Khan, who wiped away tears throughout his speech. “This must be the case when we are fighting.”
He added: “What are our oppressors going to do with a people like us? We are prepared to give our lives for the cause of Islam.”

I have long been aware of the stealth islamization of CPAC leadership, but held my events there in the hopes that we might snatch back leadership. David Keene has stacked the board with Islamic supremacists, and their chief diabolical Islamic apologist is none other than the infamous Grover Norquist. If the 10,000 CPAC attendees knew who and what was driving the bus, they would take to the Marriott like villagers with torches. Last year, mine was the only event that spoke to jihad and the war on the West.

And this year, CPAC 2011: Ground Zero Mosque
Last February I wrote that a number of people had questioned my choice of venue for AFDI's More on that here.)
There was a time I was asked to speak, or at least introduce, notables at CPAC. But once I started to criticize CPAC, Keene, and the jihadists on the ACU board like Grover Norquist and Suhail Kahn, those invites quickly stopped. And I lost my Newsmax gig: Norquist Nexis: Newsmax Nixes Atlas.
More on my coverage of Grover here: Grover Norquist's Jihad, American Thinker
Most Republicans cringe when they hear Grover's name; he is sleazy and they know it, but he has big money (from where?) and he spreads it around.
And David Keene, President of the ACU, is now suspected of embezzling $400,000 from CPAC. He must go.
Now this: "Moderate Muslim" Suhail Khan's stealth jihadist ties and hair-raising jihadist statements Jihadwatch
Connections to Alamoudi, who is serving 23 years in prison for jihad finance activity, connections to Hamas-linked CAIR, connections to Hamas-linked ISNA — and check out Khan's own words: "The early Muslims loved death, dying for the sake of almighty Allah, more than the oppressors loved life. This must be the case when we are fighting….What are our oppressors going to do with a people like us? We are prepared to give our lives for the cause of Islam."
You gonna strap on a suicide vest, there, Suhail?
This is a man who has exerted an extraordinarily negative influence upon conservatives, selling them a bill of goods about the Religion of Peace and about himself, and aiding the execrable Grover Norquist in opening the corridors of power to Islamic supremacists. He was also the relentlessly biased "moderator" of what amounted to a two-against-one debate I had at CPAC 2007 with Dinesh D'Souza — they still ended up losing, not because I'm a great debater but because the facts weren't on their side. Yet though he was willing to tip that playing field with deceit and detours, he won't debate me one-on-one, and has ducked repeated invitations to do so.
What are you afraid of, Suhail? Being unmasked even more than you already have been?
"A GOP 'moderate Muslim' — or not," by Paul Sperry in the New York Post, January 10:
Suhail Khan, a major Republican supporter of the Ground Zero mosque, has been lobbying GOP leaders on the Hill to back off their opposition. He's got their ear, mainly because he portrays himself as a moderate, patriotic Muslim. Yet newly surfaced videos contradict that.
Khan, a Bush administration vet who sits on the board of the American Conservative Union, assures skeptics that "Park 51 community center" imam Feisal Rauf is a "moderate." Fears over the mosque are overblown, he insists, fomented by "anti-Muslim bigotry." In a recent letter to fellow Republicans, he warned the party was "alienating millions of Arab-American and Muslim-American voters."
But Khan's assurances ring hollow against his own connections to radicals. While he strenuously denies such ties, evidence has emerged — including exclusive video footage — that exposes Khan comfortably in the company of known Islamic extremists. Consider:
* In June 2001, Khan personally accepted an award from the now-notorious Abdurahman Alamoudi, then head of the American Muslim Council.
* "We have with us a dear brother," Alamoudi said as he prepared to honor Khan with a plaque at the group's annual conference. "I'm really proud to be with Suhail Khan. Some of you saw him today in the White House, but inshallah [Allah willing], you will see him in better places in the White House, inshallah."
Khan thanked his patron, saying "Abdurahman Alamoudi has been very supportive of me. . . . I hope, inshallah, we can keep working together."
Just days earlier, Sen. Arlen Specter of the Judiciary Committee had cited a New York Post report documenting how Alamoudi had supported terrorists and "declared an interest in destroying America." By 2003, Alamoudi had been busted for plotting a terrorist attack; the top al Qaeda fundraiser is now serving 23 years in federal prison.
* In September 2001, four days before the 9/11 attacks, Khan spoke at the Islamic Society of North America's convention. Introducing him was Jamal Barzinji, whose offices and home were raided by federal agents after 9/11. "Barzinji is not only closely associated with PIJ [Palestinian Islamic Jihad], but also with Hamas," according to the search-warrant affidavit. (A lawyer for Barzinji, who has not been charged, says he is the victim of a government "witch hunt.")
At the event, Khan shared his experiences from "inside" the White House, and praised his late father, Mahboob Khan, for helping found ISNA — which the government now says is a front for the radical Muslim Brotherhood and has raised money for jihad. The founding documents of the Brotherhood's operation in America (recently seized by the FBI) reveal that it is in this country to "destroy" the Constitution and replace it with Islamic law.
Khan's father also helped found the Muslim Community Association in Santa Clara, Calif. This Khan family mosque is listed in the Muslim Brotherhood's own documents as one of "our organizations." In the 1990s, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, it hosted Ayman al-Zawahiri — now al Qaeda's No. 2 — as he toured the US raising money.
Khan vowed in his speech to carry on his father's "legacy."
* Speaking at ISNA's 1999 conference, Khan exhorted Muslims to sacrifice their lives to "protect our fellow brothers and sisters" in "Palestine" and Iraq and those held in the US as terrorist suspects.
"The early Muslims loved death, dying for the sake of almighty Allah, more than the oppressors loved life," said an impassioned Khan, who wiped away tears throughout his speech. "This must be the case when we are fighting."
He added: "What are our oppressors going to do with a people like us? We are prepared to give our lives for the cause of Islam."
* More recently, in March 2008, Khan led a private Council on American-Islamic Relations workshop with Jihad Saleh Williams of the Congressional Muslim Staff Association on how to "jump-start" a career on the Hill….
The non-profit organization responsible for the largest annual conservative gathering in the U.S. is under investigation for embezzlement of hundreds of thousands of dollars in donor money over several years, WND reported December 15.
The American Conservative Union, headed by David Keene and best known for its organization of the Conservative Political Action Conference each year in the nation's capital, has been embroiled in controversies in recent years, but this one is shaking the foundations of the Washington institution.
The American Conservative Union reported to the Internal Revenue Service last month a "material diversion of the organization's assets" totaling over $400,000. The group has an annual operating budget of about $1.5 million.
While directors have been tight-lipped about the details, sources say Keene's ex-wife, Diana, was fired earlier this year as bookkeeper when the misappropriations were discovered.
He has got to go.
Washington Post: By Judy Sarasohn
The Carmen Group, which in the past year has made a play for business in Africa and hired strategically to make that happen, has scored a substantial lobbying client — the government of Algeria.
While it might not be in the Indian casino range, the fee is a healthy $25,000 a month, for a total of $300,000 for the one-year term of the contract, according to the Carmen Group’s Foreign Agents Registration Act filing with the Justice Department. The shop also filed a lobby registration with Congress.
And for these fees, the Carmen Group says it will work to strengthen relations between the Algerian and U.S. governments and expand trade, through government relations and “strategic advice.” The Carmen team will brief U.S. policymakers, “project an up-to-date image of Algeria” and promote congressional, public and media support for “Algeria’s legitimate interests and policy goals,” according to the FARA report. The shop will also promote contacts with U.S. business interests.
David Keene, a managing associate at Carmen and chairman of the American Conservative Union, is responsible for managing the firm’s services for Algeria, according to the contract with Algeria. But also on the team: the aforementioned David Carmen, Gerald Carmen, John Ladd, Constance Berry Newman, William Outhier, Paul Marisa and Charles Williams.

I was contemplating attending this year as last year’s event- your symposium, in particular- are what piqued my interest in this year’s event. With all of the furor and apparent infiltration, I shan’t waste my money. Thanks for the heads up, Pamela.

That was rather awkwardly worded. Let’s try again….

Pamela, didn’t you get the liberal memo? Conservatives can’t use words like “INSURGENCY” any more, even if you’re talking about a bunch of ersatz conservatives. 🙂

Pam, I’m glad you’re speaking at the CPAC events, because you are speaking the truth at these events.
Even if you are uninvited and have to rent your own room at the same facility.

YA got a good point Book Person. Atlas, it is Heroiic to bring the fight to them and let those sorry fake conservatives that sold out their childrens future to squirm!

LOL, yes it’s a lot quicker to martyr a stupid crazy sentimental jihadist than they can churn out a new one.

It is frightening that a major conservative organization is being hijacked by those forked tongue Muslims. Grover Norquist should rot in hell.

In the end he will rot in hell

Many conservative talk show hosts do not know this about Norquist.. One has got to wonder if Karl Rove is also involved in the Islamization of America, since he was the guy who allowed Norquist to get so many islamists into the Bush Whitehouse… Of course, both Bushes were far too involved with the Saudi’s… where does it end???

Only idiots & liberals (oh but I repeat myself) buy the “moderate” Muslim. There is NO SUCH AN ANIMAL. IF they are Muslim they hate all “infidels” or guess what they are NOT Muslim.

One other conservative blogger who’d been a columnist at Townhall in the early 2000’s, was likewise blackballed from that place due to Islamist influence, and more particularly Norquist. So he seems to have it in for anyone who seeks to sound the alarm on the insidious nature of Islamofascist jihad.

I have attended the past 3 years and will attend again, partly because I live in the adjacent zip code.
There seem to be multiple internal conflicts within CPAC this year: anti-gay vs. pro-gay, Ron Paulistas vs expanding American commitments abroad, and now this. Some people may just go to watch these shows.
I think it might be best, at least with the Paul vs traditional foreign policy conservatives, to actually be on the same panel and DEBATE (not parallel tracks ignoring or taking pot shots at each other).
I have to read about this third factional dispute you are describing in more detail. This gentleman did appear at a recent Washington morning meeting of conservatives and say that these charges are false and are all traceable to one writer (not Ms. Gellar) who is not honest, just FYI.
(PS I have videos and contemporaneous reports from last years CPAC on my blog: “Tea Party — One Lump or Two?”

Miss Geller,
You amaze me as to your astute analysis, and I greatly respect your efforts to wake America up. Thank you for what you have done.
Respectfully,
