Purported non Muslim Barack Hussein Obama made a presidential appointment of Muslim Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Arif Alikhan for a top job at the federal Department of Homeland Security. In his new job, Arif Alikhan will be Assistant Secretary for the Office of Policy Development at the Department of Homeland Security. Alikhan has been Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles--in charge of public safety for the city.
Why Muslim Alikhan at the Department of Homeland Security you might ask? DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said Alikhan’s “broad and impressive array of experience in national security, emergency preparedness, and counterterrorism will make him an asset”--yes, but on behalf of the U.S. or Muslims? I am not sure what she is talking about and she probably doesn’t know either. www.indiawest.com/readmore.aspx?id=1132&Sid=1
Alikhan says a big part of his job will be fostering communication between agencies. Alikhan, like Obama, also wants to help improve America’s image with Muslims around the world. He will now set policy on security at the highest levels of the federal government. But what policies has the new Assistant Secretary embraced?
During his years in Los Angeles, Alikhan was responsible for derailing the Police Department’s plan to monitor activities within the Los Angeles Muslim community, where numerous radical mosques and madrassas existed, and where some of the 9/11 hijackers had received support from local residents.
Alikhan is strongly anti-Israel; he has referred to the terrorist organization Hezbollah as a “liberation movement.” Hezbollah is on the U.S. official terrorist list while being an affiliate of the Muslim Public Affairs Council. Alikhan also opposed President George W. Bush’s prosecution of the war on Islamic terror.
In 2007, Alikhan was instrumental in removing the Muslim terror tracking plan in Los Angeles. The Muslim '‘Mapping’' Plan of the Los Angeles Police Department is now “dead on arrival” according to Chief William Bratton. “It is over and not just put on the side,” said Chief Bratton in a meeting with the Muslim leadership of Southern California at that time. The meeting was moderated by Arif Alikhan.
Chief Bratton acknowledged the hurt and offense caused to Muslims and agreed to send a letter to the Muslim community announcing the official termination of the ‘'mapping’' plan.
A major reason for the termination of the '‘mapping’' plan was the Muslim community’s vociferous opposition and active civic engagement in making themselves heard beyond Los Angeles. Muslim organizations demonstrated a strong unity of purpose and message on the issue of ‘'mapping’' that led to a position of strength for Muslims in the meeting. Those involved in the initial phases of this controversy were the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California http://www.shuracouncil.org/ and the Council on American-Islamic Relations http://www.cair.com/ , the Muslim Public Affairs arm.
Muslim Democrats welcomed Alikhan’s appointment at a banquet/fundraiser for the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California recently where the first speaker was Arif Alikhan, a devout Sunni and the son of Pakistani immigrants, www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,505573,00 .
Other speakers included Professor Agha Saeed of the American Muslim Task Force (AMT) who spoke about “the struggle of the Muslim Community against the pervasive atmosphere of Islamophobia and hatred in the aftermath of 9/11. It was a struggle against the tide--a very strong tide--to prevent Muslims in America from being marginalized and silenced.”
Professor Saeed issued five demands from Muslims to the Department of Justice. These demands included a cessation to the infiltration by spies of mosques and an end to the introduction of agents provocateur. In addition there was to be a cessation of attempts to undermine Muslim groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Un-indicted co-conspirator CAIR was thrilled at the appointment: www.us4arabs.com/content/view/1590/31/
Last week, Napolitano swore in Damascus-born Kareem Shora, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC)’s national executive director, to a position on the Homeland Security Advisory Council, an outside-the-department group of national security experts that advises the Secretary. Shora is the first Arab rights advocate on the panel. Shora has with ties to terror backers www.creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/06another-jihad-nominee-atdept-of-homeland-security/
One may wonder how does an obscure (but Democrat) bureaucrat and devout Muslim come to the position of Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles--in charge of public safety for the city and now becomes Assistant Secretary to DHS under purported non Muslim Democrat President Barack Hussein Obama?
Piss be upon him.
~~These people are madness personified!!
Interesting since I saw a blurb about an infiltrater in the Zazi case giving the terrorists a heads up. Put the Feds and NYPD in a urgent round up mode.
Now Napolitano is doing her part to help the terorrists. Openly appointing someone that probably would never survive a background check.
I’d give him a few months. Than again, he did work the in L.A.
Did NYC vote for a Muslimish president after 911? I wonder if they will get the same amount of sympathy if they get bombed again.
OH GOD NO!! Please Amerika...WAKE THE HELL UP!!
That bast*rd is going to turn us into a Muslim country - just watch ...
On page 261 of the “Audacity of Hope”, Obama wrote: “In the wake of 9/11..., I will stand with the [Muslims] should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
Didn’t Bill Ayers write Obama’s other book?
I truly HATE being punished by the ignorance and stupidity of others.
Yep. I stopped reading after that sentence. Any vetting procedures for Homeland Security??? Let’s just let him in on EVERYTHING WE HAVE DONE SINCE 9/11. WTF???????
What could possibly go wrong? s/
“Than again, he did work there in L.A.”
I agree with CharlesWayneCT, if the man or women is able and competent enough to do the job, let him/her. I understand that they would be in a position to influence policy, but ultimately, policy is decided upon by the President. If anything, any and all policy enacted by the various departments are due to the guidance of the WH.
Words fail me. The only thing I can think is that I need to buy more ammo.
Why don’t we just install a hotline to al-Quaeda headquarters and get it over with?
Just wondering....
Just wondering that....Napolitano as head of the dept will let anyone get a job that is pushed by ZERO.
I agree with you Charles on principle- however- in this man’s case- please read his background and quotes- he thinks Hezbollah is a liberation movement and is anti-Israel.
