Last week AIMs Roger Aronoff, host of the weekly BlogTalkRadio show, Take AIM, conducted an in-depth interview with Andy McCARTHY, the man who led the terrorism prosecution against Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, the Blind Sheikh, responsible for the first World Trade Center bombing. He wrote about that case in Willful Blindness: A Memoir of the Jihad, and is now out with a powerful new book, The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America, which debuted last week on the New York Times bestseller list.
The primary focus of the interview is the new book, and its detailed analysis of what might seem like a strange alliancethat between the political Left, and the Islamists who seek to impose sharia law on many of todays free and democratic nations. Andy explains the who, the why, the history and the evidence, as this skilled former prosecutor lays out his case.
In addition, the discussion touches on recent topics in the newsthe end of Helen Thomass career, the Gaza flotilla, the stunning comments of President Obamas counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan, and Andy McCARTHYs take on the mysteries of Obamas background. McCARTHY states that if Obama werent President, based on the political alliances and connections he had, it would have been difficult for him to get a security clearance, and weighs in on the natural born citizen issue.
