On Friday, an anti-terrorism task force of the FBI conducted eight raids in Chicago and Minneapolis. Among the targets was Hatem Abudayyeh, executive director of the Arab American Action Network Network (AAAN). This much has been reported in the media.
What has received less coverage is the connection between the AAAN and the President of the United States. This photo of Michelle and Barack Obama was taken on May 24, 1998 in Burbank, IL, where state senator Obama was an honored guest at a gala dinner. Hosting the event was -- drumroll, please -- the Arab American Action Network...

Latest from Breitbart:
Last Friday FBI agents raided the homes of far left activists in Chicago and Minneapolis who are linked to the FARC and Islamic radicals as part of a terrorism investigation. The home of radical Hatem Abudayyeh in Chicago was raided in the terror sweep.
FBI agents in Chicago took a laptop and documents from the home of a Palestinian-American anti-war activist in an attempt to silence his advocacy, an attorney said Sunday.
The FBI on Friday searched eight addresses in Minneapolis and Chicago, including the home of Hatem Abudayyeh, who is the executive director of the Arab American Action Network, attorney Jim Fennerty told The Associated Press.
“The government’s trying to quiet activists,” Fennerty said. “This case is really scary.”
More than half a dozen agents went to Abudayyeh’s home on Friday and took any documents containing the word “Palestine,” Fennerty said.
Abudayyeh, a U.S. citizen whose parent immigrated from Palestine, wasn’t home at the time of the raid because he was at a hospital with his mother who is battling liver cancer, Fennerty said.
Yes, but my main point is that the famous Barack/Michelle photo was taken at an AAAN event.
Last Friday the FBI raided the home of AAAN leader Hatem Abudayyeh. He is Barack Obama’s friend.
Here’s a recent quote by Hatem Abudayyeh:
“The U.S. and Israel will continue to describe Hamas, Hezbollah and the other Palestinian and Lebanese resistance organizations as ‘terrorists,’ but the real terrorists are the governments and military forces of the U.S. and Israel. The vast majority of the world sees and understands this, and are in full support of Lebanese, Palestinian and worldwide resistance to Israel and the U.S.’s naked aggression, war, imperialism and occupation. As we have seen in Iraq, where the resistance is standing up to U.S. power, the U.S. military is not indomitable.”
Of interest, it's reported but not confirmed that Chavez is changing his undies hourly!
“...It should be noted… FARC terror leader Mono Jojoy was killed in an attack on September 22. Several computers were seized by authorities after the Colombian jungle attack. The FBI raided the homes of the FARC terrror sympathizers two days after Mojoy was killed...”
Shocking isn’t it? Who knew that Obama had ties to radicals in Chicago?
Who knew?
Do you have a link for this info?

Arab American Action Network
The Chicago-based Arab American Action Network (AAAN) seeks “to challenge government policies that violate the civil, political and human rights of the Arab American and Arab immigrant community” -- a mission rooted firmly in the belief that Arab Americans face widespread discrimination in the United States. In particular, AAAN complains that its eponymous demographic is targeted routinely for “detentions,” “deportations,” and all manner of “attacks.” “Biased reporting, media stereotypes, and the criminalization of Arabs and Muslims” are also matters of great concern, says AAAN. Vis a vis Israel, AAAN laments “the compelling and continuing tragedy of Palestinian life ... under [Israeli] occupation,” and refers to Israel’s creation in 1948 as Al Nakba (“The Catastrophe”).
AAAN has worked closely with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, which seeks to: (a) promote open borders immigration policies; (b) give illegal aliens who attend Illinois high schools (dubbed “undocumented students” by AAAN) “the opportunity to pursue higher education”; (c) press the state for increased funding for immigrant services; and (d) “support other beneficial immigrant rights legislation.”
In December 2005, AAAN and numerous other Arab lobby groups composed a letter to New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, characterizing a North Carolina/New Mexico joint initiative to deny driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants as a “bigoted attack on Arabs and Muslims.”
In 2001 and 2002, the Woods Fund of Chicago, whose board of directors included Barack Obama, made grants totaling $75,000 to the AAAN.
