Haney, in an interview Thursday night with the Fox News Channel's Megyn Kelly, said that about a year into their investigation, the Homeland Security's Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties and the State Department shut down his efforts for fear of profiling Muslims. The kicker is this: The monitoring could have prevented the recent San Bernardino, California, terror attack committed by Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, he said. In addition to shuttering the program, Haney said feds destroyed 67 of his team's records. He noted that a Southern California mosque that Farook attended is part of the movement his...

CNN Host Don Lemon attempted to invoke the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) as part of his televised ambush of former Reagan official and head of Center for Security Policy Frank Gaffney last night.  Lemon played a clip of Nihad Awad, CAIR's Executive Director, before asking why Gaffney opposed CAIR. When Gaffney attempted to explain that CAIR was a Muslim Brotherhood organization with ties to Hamas, Lemon flatly denied it saying, "There is no direct knowledge that we had that CAIR has anything to do with the Muslim brotherhood." It should be understood from the outset that CAIR's ties...

Department of Homeland Security whistleblower Philip Haney gave an extensive interview to Breitbart News Daily on Friday morning, in which he discussed an investigation that might have stopped the San Bernardino jihad attack… but was scuttled by Homeland Security brass for politically-correct reasons. “Civil Rights and Civil Liberties shut the case down because we were focusing on individuals who belong to Tablighi Jamaat,” Haney says, well-aware of how explosive this charge is. Haney was a founding member of the Passenger Analysis Unit, or PAU, under Customs and Border Protection. Established as a stand-alone agency in 2003, the PAU is charged...

Farook in same 'social circle' as convicted terrorist The FBI believes Farook had ties to a group of jihadists in California who were arrested in 2012 for attempted to travel to Afghanistan to join al Qaeda. Specifically, investigators are taking a new look at one of the four men who was arrested in the 2012 case, Sohiel Kabir. Kabir, who was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison, was the recruiter who helped radicalize others. The 2012 probe happened in Riverside, California, not far from San Bernardino. Farook was in the social circle of Kabir, officials told CNN. The...

A former Department of Homeland Security agent says that an investigation he was conducting into a fundamentalist Islamic group operating in the U.S. may have helped stop San Bernardino jihadi Syed Farook had the government not shut down his probe. During an interview with Fox News' Megyn Kelly on Thursday, Philip Haney said that in 2012 as an agent with U.S. Customs and Border Protection's National Targeting Center, he opened an investigation into a Sunni Islamic group called, Tablighi Jamaat, a subset of the fundamentalist Deobandi movement. But Haney said that just a year into the investigation it was shut...

Prominent organizations like CAIR, ISNA, ICNA (Council on American-Islamic Relations, Islamic Society of North America, Islamic Circle of North America) and others are Muslim Brotherhood front groups in the U.S. These groups are to conduct "civilization jihad" to "destroy the Western civilization from within". [1] CAIR is a group established by the Muslim Brotherhood [2-7] Muslim Brotherhood Palestine Committee - create organizations "whose job is to make the Palestinian cause victorious and to support it with what it needs of media, money, men and all of that."

Sources indicate heated tension between President Obama and FBI Director James Comey about the nature of the San Bernardino mass shooting, which left 14 civilians dead. Although the FBI believed that it was an act of terrorism from the beginning, immense political pressure was brought down on investigators to avoid using the term “terrorism,” with Obama stating, “It is possible that this is terrorist related, but we don’t know…It is also possible that this was workplace related.” A SOFREP source confirmed that after the shooting, Obama held a meeting in the Oval Office with his National Security Council, the attorney...

The feds designated CAIR an unindicted terror co-conspirator in 2007 in the prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation and others for providing support to Hamas jihadists. Over the alleged objections of Dallas-area federal prosecutors, the Obama Justice Department’s senior political appointees declined to press terror-financing charges against CAIR co-founder Omar Ahmad. Instead, the administration has rolled out the red carpet for CAIR officials “hundreds” of times since 2009 on a “range of issues.” This is the same group of “Islamophobia!”-shrieking grievance grifters that cooked up the Ahmed “Clock Boy” Mohamed brouhaha in Texas, where the city of Irving and Irving...

This is another one of those days when you have to wonder why people keep going after Donald Trump every time he opens his mouth. I recall just last week when Talking Points Memo drew a bead on The Donald, seemingly aghast that he would suggest that officials take a look at the rest of the family of the San Bernardino terrorists. Oh the horror! Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in an interview aired Sunday that he would “go after” family members of terrorists because they “know what’s happening” when their loved ones commit acts of terrorism.Trump said...
