Check out my interview with Jamie Glazov, Frontpage Magazine's editor and author of the critically acclaimed and best-selling book, United in Hate: The Left's Romance with Tyranny and Terror, and his new book, Showdown With Evil. We discuss "The Muslim Brotherhood’s Penetration of the Obama Administration" (here):

FP: Pamela Geller, welcome to Frontpage Interview.

Well, perhaps for those who are familiar with your work and with your book, it is not a big surprise for them that Obama has endorsed a role for the Muslim Brotherhood in a new, post-Mubarak government for Egypt.

I would like to narrow in with you today about the Muslim Brotherhood’s penetration of the Obama administration. What can you tell us about this Islamist penetration of the White House?

Geller: Thanks Jamie.

The first thing we need to realize is that the Muslim Brotherhood operates in the United States under a variety of names and organizational umbrellas. Technically, there is no “Muslim Brotherhood” in the United States. But the Muslim American Society (MAS), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and others are – according to a document captured in a raid and released by law enforcement in 2007 during the Holy Land Foundation Hamas funding trial) – Brotherhood-linked organizations.

FP: Right, and crystallize for us why we need to be concerned about Brotherhood-linked organizations in the U.S.

Geller: Because, Jamie, that same captured document explains that the Muslim Brotherhood’s mission in the U.S. is “a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

FP: And people with ties to these organizations are involved with the Obama Administration, right?

Geller: Yes they are, Jamie, in various ways. On the first day of his presidency, the President showed an eagerness to be friendly toward the Brotherhood: he chose Ingrid Mattson, president of ISNA to offer a prayer at the National Cathedral during inaugural festivities on January 20, 2009.

Superficially, Obama’s choice was understandable: Ingrid Mattson was a Canadian convert to Islam who carefully cultivated the image of a moderate spokesperson. But ISNA has even admitted ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, which calls itself “one of the wings of Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine.”

Mattson has also tried to set Jews and Christians against one another. Speaking at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government in March 2007, Mattson said: “Right-wing Christians are very risky allies for American Jews, because they [the Christians] are really anti-Semitic. They do not like Jews.”

But Obama didn’t seem to care about any of that. And so she prayed for Barack Hussein Obama on January 20, 2009. And it gets worse: after that, Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s Senior Advisor for Public Engagement and International Affairs and a longtime, close Obama aide, asked Mattson to join the White House Council on Women and Girls, which is dedicated to “advancing women’s leadership in all communities and sectors – up to the U.S. presidency – by filling the leadership pipeline with a richly diverse, critical mass of women.”

A hijab-wearing leader of a group with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and other terrorists and Islamic supremacists – that’s diverse, all right!

FP: Yes diverse all right. I wonder why we haven’t heard Mattson coming to the defense of victims of honor killings and denouncing the Islamic theological teachings that serve as a buffer for those killings. It would be interesting to know what she would have to say about your article, Honor Killing: Islam’s Gruesome Gallery, where you humanize this tragedy by showing us the faces of dead victims and surviving victims of Islamic misogynist violence.

But I guess we shouldn’t hold our breath waiting for Mattson to comment. I encourage all of our readers to look at that Gallery to not only get an idea of the viciousness of Islamic gender apartheid, but also of what kind of people Obama is has around him — since they are the ones who are complicit in and sanction this violence.

Ok, let us move on. Tell us more about the Muslim Brotherhood presence in the Obama Administration.

Geller: In June 2009, Obama appointed a Muslim, Kareem Shora, to the Homeland Security Advisory Council. Shora had been executive director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, a group that had generally opposed anti-terror efforts since 9/11 – as have all the Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups in the U.S. But more worrisome was Obama’s appointment of another Muslim, Arif Alikhan, to be Assistant Secretary for Policy Development at the Department of Homeland Security. Alikhan is affiliated with the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), which is another highly deceptive Brotherhood-linked group.

FP: Why did the President make these appointments?

Geller: These appointments were obvious attempts to show the Muslims of the United States and the world that anti-terror efforts were not anti-Islam or anti-Muslim. Shora and Alikhan would stand as moderate Muslims within the DHS, living illustrations of the iron dogma that all Muslims aside from a tiny minority were loyal Americans who abhorred Osama bin Laden and everything he stood for. But when he made the appointment, Obama didn’t notice, or didn’t care, that as deputy mayor of Los Angeles, Alikhan (who has referred to the jihad terrorist group Hizballah as a “liberation movement”) had blocked an effort by the Los Angeles Police Department to gather information about the ethnic makeup of area mosques.

FP: You mean to conduct surveillance in Los Angeles-area mosques?

Geller: No, Jamie. This was not an effort to close down Los Angeles mosques, or to conduct surveillance of them. There was no wiretapping or interrogation involved. No one would be jailed or even inconvenienced. Los Angeles Deputy Chief Michael P. Downing explained in 2007: “We want to know where the Pakistanis, Iranians and Chechens are so we can reach out to those communities.” But even outreach was too much for the hypersensitive Muslim leaders of Los Angeles: they cried racism, discrimination, and “Islamophobia” until the LAPD dropped the plan. And Arif Alikhan spearheaded their drive against this initiative.

Did Obama want him to bring to the Department of Homeland Security a similar sensitivity to the quickly wounded feelings of Muslims? I expect so.

FP: Talk a bit about that.

Geller: We are all well aware of Obama’s oft-stated commitment to defending and spreading the ideology of groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. Remember: in Cairo on June 4, 2009, Obama boasted that “the U.S. government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab, and to punish those who would deny it….I reject the view of some in the West that a woman who chooses to cover her hair is somehow less equal.” Five days later, as if to show that Obama was serious about what he said in Cairo, his post-American Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Essex County, New Jersey, charging that the county had discriminated against a Muslim woman, Yvette Beshier.

Beshier was a corrections officer, and had been forbidden to wear her khimar, or headscarf, while working. When she refused to comply, the Essex County Department of Corrections (DOC) first suspended and then fired her – the khimar was not part of the uniform, and corrections officers were expected to conform to uniform policy. But such policies, of course, were drawn up before the days of politically correct multiculturalism. Instead of simply expecting employees to conform to company rules, now the company had to adapt to the religious particularities of its Muslim employees: Barack Obama’s Justice Department sued on Beshier’s behalf.

When Obama in Cairo boasted about fighting for hijab-wearing women in the United States, he promised to “punish” infidels for not submitting to the dictates and whims of Islam. The lawsuit that followed less than a week later showed that he was in earnest.

It was almost certainly the first time that the United States Justice Department had filed a lawsuit in order to enforce an element of Sharia, Islamic law.

On duty, Yvette Beshier, like all her fellow corrections officers, should have worn religiously neutral garb. Off duty, she could have dressed any way she wanted. But ultimately the Justice Department’s suit wasn’t really about the dress code at the Essex County Department of Corrections at all. It was about asserting Islamic practices in the U.S., and establishing and reinforcing the precedent that when Islamic law and American law and custom conflicted, it was American law that had to give way.

And that’s just how the Muslim Brotherhood would want it.

FP: Interesting. I wonder when Obama will make an announcement that will defend Muslim women’s right to not veil and to not fear physical violence or acid attacks on their faces when making that decision? Aqsa Parvez was killed by her father, in part, for not veiling. I wonder why Obama didn’t come to Aqsa’s defense? Thank you, Pamela, by the way, for coming to Aqsa’s defense.

So let’s talk about the upheaval in Egypt. What do you think of how Obama is handling the situation?

Geller: Obama approved of a role in the next Egyptian government for the Muslim Brotherhood just as a Brotherhood leader was calling for war several days ago with the tiny Jewish state. It was telling. What better way to unify the ummah than with tried-and-true, religiously mandated Islamic anti-semitism? For all of those quisling clowns desperately trying to scrub the Muslim Brotherhood, this declaration of war was a good hard slap in the face.

Further, it’s interesting how the Muslim Brotherhood is blaming Israel for Mubarak’s regime. They’re not blaming the $300 billion the US has pumped into Egypt. The Camp David Peace Accord (no matter how cold a peace it established) was a good thing. Now we hear that Obama’s would-be peace partners, the Muslim Brotherhood group Hamas, are going to destroy the accord.

Read the rest here.

UPDATE: Top members of the Egyptian government say they feel betrayed by President Obama, charging that he is acting against American interests.

It’s a natural response of you Zionist colonialists to feel terrified of anything related to Islam ,because if any subjective reader who wants to know the inners of the majority of Jews = who refused to believe neither in Jesus nor in Mohammed (Peace Be Upon both of them):The incredible selfishness and hatred to others .You have lost a precious period of history when all Arab leaders submitted to your overwhelming power , but as all opportunist greedy Jewish merchants ,you asked for more . All American sacrifices and the generous annual donations to your state ! but you insist to insult their president. Great Expectations more than your skillful intelligence reports are coming ahead, surely, you wouldn’t believe ,but please watch from now on the numbers of Israelis departing BenGorion airport with their one way tickets.

To A(sshole)R(etard) Momen, do you idiots ever get tired of blaming the Jews for anything and everything????? The muslim street is a cesspool and it is solely because you “people” choose to live like pigs. Breed like cockroaches, educate your kids in bigotry, hatred and victimhood and won’t get your heads out of your asses and out of the 7th century. Hey, civilization begins with C-I-V-I-L. Whether or not Israeli’s(the lefties) depart Ben GUrien airport, those who remain can and will kick your filthy asses!!!Should’ve been done long ago!

As British politician Daniel Hannan said there are politicians who will sell their grandmother for money and a little power. It is becoming obvious the left sees radical Islam as their way to money and personal power at the cost of the demise of Western civilization. Western civilization that created the modern world is worth destroying, according to the left, for their personal interests.

Momen you are a freakin imbecile. What country has the U.S. EVER colonialized? Every time we go to war it is to defend ourselves or our allies. Once the wars are over our troops return home without having confiscated one single acre of land. Perhaps you should read a book other than your rediculous KQCoran. As for zionism, it is simply the idea that the Isrealis have a right to exist and to do so on THEIR homeland. Yet you and other’s of your limited intellect continue to use the term as an insult… you need to be educated in something other than hate. In the end your cause will go down in flames as the false religion that it is and you will burn in Hell with the rest of your comrades. Have a ham sandwich on me and STFU!

In the last November elections the Muslim Brotherhood garnered ZERO wins, just losses. Obama, by endorsing their participation, is enabling the MB to get a foothold in the proposed Egyptian government.
Then the Brotherhood will have international legitimacy when in Egypt they were roundly defeated.
This is akin to Ahmadinejad demanding the KKK get represented in our Congress or Cabinet because everyone is not satisfied with our present administration.

You are the equivalent of the German-American Bund thugs of the 1930s. When your precious Caliphate does form, watch what happens to it and to people like you. Any documentary of the years between 1941-45 will get the point across. Islam was a vicious thug religion at its birth, and was stripped of any pretention of upholding reason by its 11th century thug “intellectuals”.

I just heard this on a local conservative talk show and don’t have any other confirmation, but they reported that the flag/symbol being used by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt during this “uprising” has a different word in Arabic at the top from the one usually displayed. Apparently that one means something like “freedom” (hah!), but the one now being used in Egypt says “prepare”, and is meant to mean “Prepare for war against Israel”.
That ought to make Herr Ooooberstupidfuehrer Momen’s day for him. For the rest of us, it can’t really come as a surprise. Atlas is running several days ahead of the MSM, as usual, in covering this story and correctly assessing its significance

Okay, I can see (tho’ not understand) their urge for power. I know that evil exists. But the stupidity involved — that, I do not understand. Do they honestly not realize that they, as infidels, will be the first to go? I know that the New Atheists are a big part of the left.Do they not know they would not even be eligible to exist as dhimmis? How stupid must you be to not bother to research those you are allying with?
Because either they have not researched or they do not believe what they have found — either is inexplible.

Yep, and for those who don’t return home we ask only for enough to bury our dead. Hence the Normandy American Cemetary.

changing gears for a moment… did you see Laura Ingraham on The Factor tonight?
She totally cleaned the clock of the CAIR stooge by mentioning his connection to the Muslim Brotherhood. He tried to squirm out of it claiming that that claim had been overturned but Laura persisted telling him that to date the information had not been overturned.
It was a great exchange.
Wiped the smile right off his face.

The Peaceful Brotherhood is calling for the military to go to war with Israel now, not in September! And Obama is sucking the unclean with his lying mouth…Can we call him a dick sucker? Is that PC? I am lost with the PC thing ,I never know, like isn’t Obama half white, and half black? So how is it that he thinks he’s a African American, I thought African Americans were decendents of American slaves? Niether one of his parents were American slaves,See I am lost, no to PC for me! Anyway, the lying mouth muslem needs to step down by his own words, more than half of us want him to go, he should listen to the people, so to that logic, he should go. Right?

This was the reason obama was elected into power. His agenda is to help topple every government in the middle east and have them replaced with jihadists. Obama is not a muslim, he is infinitely worse. He is what you call can the worlds worst nightmare. Most of the world still cannot see through the man, but his agenda is a stark reminder that our Lord Jesus is coming very soon and the NEW WORLD ORDER has to be established soon, very soon. How else can the anti-christ rule the earth.

They believe that oppression is what causes the terrorism. Therefore once the oppressor is destroyed, starting but not ending with the US and Israel, the oppressed Muslims will no longer need to victimize other people. With a little time hanging out with the cool people on the left, they will give up their religion completely. And then the world will live as one. Except of course the millions of people who would be murdered if the hard left was ever in charge.

better than a complete banishment.

The Human Paradigm: Earth’s Choicemaker Psalm 25:12 Joel 3:14
Consider: The missing element in every human ‘solution’ is an accurate
definition of the creature.
In an effort to diminish the multiple and persistent dangers and abuses
which have characterized the affairs of man in his every Age, and to assist
in the requisite search for human identity, it is essential to perceive and
specify that distinction which naturally and most uniquely defines the human
being.
Because definitions rule in the minds, behaviors, and institutions of men,
we can be confident that delineating and communicating that quality will
assist the process of resolution and the courageous ascension to which
man is called. As Americans of the 21st Century, we are obliged and
privileged to join our forebears and participate in this continuing paradigm
proclamation.
The way we define ‘human’ determines our view of self, others,
relationships, institutions, life, and future. Many problems in human
experience are the result of false and inaccurate definitions of humankind
premised in man-made religions and humanistic philosophies.
Human knowledge is a fraction of the whole universe. The balance is a vast
void of human ignorance. Human reason cannot fully function in such a void;
thus, the intellect can rise no higher than the criteria by which it perceives and
measures values.
Humanism makes man his own standard of measure. However, as with all
measuring systems, a standard must be greater than the value measured. Based
on preponderant ignorance and an egocentric carnal nature, humanism demotes
reason to the simpleton task of excuse-making in behalf of the rule of
appetites, desires, feelings, emotions, – and glands.
Because man, hobbled in an ego-centric predicament, cannot invent criteria
greater than himself, the humanist lacks a predictive capability. Thus, his
man-made criteria rises no higher than eyebrows – and too often, no higher
than pubic hair! Without instinct or transcendent criteria, humanism cannot
evaluate options with foresight and vision for progression and survival.
Lacking foresight, man is blind to potential consequence and is unwittingly
committed to mediocrity, collectivism, averages, and regression – and worse.
Humanism is an unworthy worship.
The void of human ignorance can easily be filled with a functional faith
while not-so-patiently awaiting the foot-dragging growth of human knowledge
and behavior. Faith, initiated by the Creator and revealed and validated in
His Word, the Bible, brings a transcendent standard to man the choice-maker.
Other philosophies and religions are man-made, humanism, and thereby lack
what only the Bible has:
1.Transcendent Criteria and
2.Fulfilled Prophetic Validation.
The vision of faith in God and His Word is survival equipment for today and
the future. Only the Creator, who made us in His own image, is qualified to
define us accurately.
Human is earth’s Choicemaker. Psalm 25:12 He is by nature and nature’s God a
creature of Choice – and of Criteria. Psalm 119:30,173 His unique and
definitive characteristic is, and of Right ought to be, the natural
foundation of his environments, institutions, and respectful relations to
his fellow-man. Thus, he is oriented to a Freedom whose roots are in the
Order of the universe. selah
No one is smarter than their criteria…
