No surprises here since Devout Muslims were appointed key positions in Homeland Security late last year:
Jihad Watch Obama adminstration appoints Muslims to key Homeland Security posts — but... they’re “moderates,” aren’t they?
The track record of the two appointees, taken together with the administration’s own ability to distinguish “moderates” from “extremists” inspires anything but confidence. After all, the Fort Hood jihadist was himself a member of a panel advising the incoming Obama administration.
At the heart of this issue are the politically correct articles of faith that few dare blaspheme, which insist that there is nothing problematic about Islam’s core texts and teachings regarding warfare and the rights of women and unbelievers, and that there exists a well-defined “moderate” Islam that the West can work with. The problem is, no one ever stops to define “moderate,” for fear that articulating actual standards may cause offense.
“Devout Muslims In Key Homeland Security Posts,” by Judicialwatch via Right Side News, November 22:
Days after a devout Muslim terrorized a U.S. Army base in Texas several news reports remind that two key Homeland Security posts are occupied by equally devout Muslims, one of them a former Los Angeles deputy mayor who eliminated a crucial program that tracked terrorist activities in the city.
Earlier this year President Obama appointed Arif Alikhan to be the nation’s Assistant Secretary for Policy Development at the Department of Homeland Security and Kareem Shora to the agency’s influential advisory council, which provides recommendations and advice directly to the Secretary of Homeland Security.
Alikhan, who leads a Homeland Security team responsible for developing policy issues to secure the country against terrorism, has referred to the renowned terrorist organization Hezbollah as a “liberation movement” and was responsible for killing a Los Angeles Police project that monitored terrorist activities in the city’s notoriously radical mosques. The defunct Muslim terror tracking plan was designed to identify hotbeds of extremism in an area where several locals offered the September 11 hijackers support.
Shora was the head of a well-known Arab organization whose officials refer to anti-U.S. jihadists as heroes. As executive director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), Shora had close ties to radical Ivy League professor Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian terror supporter who has reportedly worked on behalf of the extremist Palestine Liberation Organization....
I just posted that I wondered how he knew he’d been taken off the list... [I’m speculating that he didn’t try to re-enter the US until AFTER he was taken off as that just makes sense...]. With what you have posted we may have the answer to that question. I also wouldn’t doubt “insiders” within some of the airlines as well... I hope they are questioning the ticketing agent, and the one who boarded the passengers on that flight.
My !! How strange!!
How they going to spin this.....ROFL!

* IPS :
1963 : (IPS IS ESTABLISHED BY RICHARD BARNETT & MARCUS RASKIN & FUNDED BY THE RUBIN FOUNDATION)...The IPS was set up in 1963 by Richard Barnet and Marcus Raskin and funded by the pro-Soviet Rubin Foundation. (Rubin was a crook and a member of the Soviet Comintern). In Raskin’s paranoid world the United States is an evil country that started the Cold War as part of a plan to “reach for the brass ring: world hegemony”. He also asserted [LATER] that the toppling of Saddam by the US military was akin to the “Nazis’ blitzkrieg” against Europe. ---------Red Star Over FISA Front Page Magazine ^ | March 6, 2006 | Gerard Jackson

In its first few years IPS played an important if quiet role in helping OC-5. . .On the OC-5 CounterSpy advisory board were Marcus Raskin, Victor Marchetti, Dave Dellinger of Chicago Seven fame, and several others, like Frank Donner and Sylvia Crane, both former members of the Communist party. CounterSpy's attorney was Alan Dranitzke, who was a leader of the Cuba Subcommittee of the National Lawyers Guild International Committee, and whose senior law partners include David Rein, a Communist party member, and Joseph Forer, a counsel for the Communist party, USA.------- "VVAW and the Anti-intelligence Lobby"by S.

The IPS has managed to recruit CIA employees who broke with the agency and leaked top-secret information. Several IPS leaders also work with rogue CIA agent Phillip Agee, who has made career of propagating Soviet disinformation while openly acknowledging his own Communist sympathies and the support of Cuban Communists. And former US Senator James Abourezk, founder of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee and an outspoken supporter of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), is an IPS trustee.6[ 6 Broken Seals, Op cit., passim; Findley, P., They Dare to Speak Out, Lawrence HIll Books, Chicago, 1989. p. 98]
Speaking of Counterspy:
DECEMBER 1975 : (A PUBLICATION [COUNTERSPY] ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH PHILIP AGEE PUBLISHES THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF A CIA OPERATIVE IN ATHENS, GREECE BY THE NAME OF RICHARD WELCH - WELCH WAS ASSASSINATED SHORTLY THEREAFTER - See IPS) In December 1975, a publication to which Agee reportedly had ties, published the name and address of CIA operative in Athens, Greece, Richard Welch. On December 23, 1975, Welch was shot to death outside his Athens home.
The CIA blamed Agee for this death, although he denied having provided the agent's address to the publication. Agee, however, had written in the edition of the publication publishing Welch's address the following advice to foes of the CIA: "…the CIA people can be identified and exposed through periodic bulletins disseminated to our subscribers, particularly individuals and organizations in the foreign country in question. Photographs and home address in the foreign capital or Consular cities should be included… the people themselves will have to decide what they must do to rid themselves of the CIA." ------ "Philip Burnett Franklin Agee: CIA Case Officer in Latin America (1936 - )"http://www.angelfire.com/dc/1spy/Agee.html
2002 : (FORMER US SENATOR FROM S DAKOTA, JAMES ABOUREZK, PRAISES HEZBOLLAH) The second-generation Lebanese-American seemingly has no problem exercising his first amendment rights. In 2002, Abourezk praised the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah and the "positive role it was playing in Lebanon.""[Hezbollah] was like the tool that forced the 'Israelis' to withdraw," Abourezk said. Also last year [2002], Abourezk suggested that the solution to Israel's terrorism problem would be to "get the hell out of the occupied territories." "It's not a wonder there are suicide bombers, it's a wonder there aren't many more," Abourezk said. ---- "20-Year-Old Republican Website Owner Sued by Former Democrat Senator, " By Jeff Gannon, Talon News, July 31, 2003
