JERUSALEM — The former director of Muslim outreach for President Obama’s 2008 campaign now is representing a charity raising money in the U.S. to fund the jihadist-tied Syrian opposition.

Mazen Asbahi, a Chicago lawyer, resigned from Obama’s first presidential campaign after the Wall Street Journal reported that he sat on the board of an Islamic investment group called the Allied Assets Advisors Fund. Also on the board was Jamal Said, an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation, which raised millions of dollars for the Hamas terrorist organization.

The Allied Assets Advisors Fund was itself a subsidiary of the North American Islamic Trust which is directed by the Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA.

The ISNA was established in 1981 by activists from the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Muslim Students Association. The ISNA was also named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land terrorism financing case.

The ISNA was the subject of a terrorism investigation in December 2003 by the Senate Finance Committee, which looked into possible links between nongovernmental organizations and terrorist financing networks.

The official court documents in the Holy Land case named the ISNA among “entities who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood.”

Brian Sayers, director of government relations for the Syrian Support Group, admitted in an NPR interview the money raised by his organization will go to weapons purchases as well.

“Yes,” he said when asked about weapons. “Weapons are going to be a part of the process, because if they’re going to set up safe zones for the Syrian citizens … those safe zones have to be defended.”

The Syrian Support Group addresses concerns on its website about whether some of the money it raises will go to al-Qaida organizations fighting with the Free Syrian Army.

“SSG acknowledges reports of increasing Al-Qaeda and other extremist activity within Syria. SSG hopes to serve as a counter-weight to this development and will only provide financial support to military councils who have adopted the Free Syrian Army’s Proclamation of Principles.”

Obama had Stevens supplying them with guns so why shouldn’t one of his campaign workers get them some money.

Even (or perhaps especially) jihadists recognize that gun free zones are not safe zones.

The things is he is not betraying Obama - he is following Dear Leader’s example! Who is the real traitor? Who is pursuing a Foreign Policy that eventually will come back to bite America.

Everything to do with the Arab Spring and now Syria has everything to do with Obama.

No one should be surprised that our First Muslim President is not only a Muslim, he is a Muslim who is working to destroy America.

The economy, energy production, spending, taxes, Arab terrorist in Libya, Iraq or Syria, he likes them all. It makes no difference, Obama is doing everything he can to destroy the country. The only thing that is a surprise is that Americans still don’t understand who Obama is.

No-one should be but most seem to be ignoring it or sit around scratching their heads as to why he does the things he does. He is consistent with his beliefs - it’s really simple he is a Muslim and a Marxist.

Blessings
