		<description>NORQUIST ROVE ABRAMOFF and WAHABIS
http://www.citizensoldier.org/norquist.html

Grover Norquist, whom most conservatives know as&lt;strong&gt; Executive Director of the College Republicans&lt;/strong&gt;, boardmember of the NRA, and head of Americans for Tax Reform, has been exposed as helping &lt;strong&gt;Muslim groups and individuals who finance and support Islamic terrorism&lt;/strong&gt;gain access to the Bush White House.

&lt;strong&gt;Norquist&lt;/strong&gt; has also been exposed as the founder of the Islamic Insitute, a group believed to be funded by foreign governments, &lt;strong&gt;Wahhab Islam elements&lt;/strong&gt; in Saudi Arabia, and &lt;strong&gt;U.S. Muslim groups&lt;/strong&gt; recently raided by a special Treasury Department task force for funding Al Qaeda and Palestinian terrorists. The Islamic Institute&#039;s website lists the following goals:

1. Cultivate and expand Muslim activists and mobilize the community at the state and federal levels on issues affecting the American Muslim community.

2. Provide a platform to promote an Islamic perspective on domestic issues (social and fiscal) to help enhance the Muslim community&#039;s input in the decision-making process.

3. Run aggressive campaigns at the state and federal levels on issues affecting the American Muslim community.

&lt;strong&gt;Wahhabi Islam funding from Saudi Arabia&lt;/strong&gt; appears to have been instrumental is creating and and sustaining a large number of organizations involved in such troubling activities as:

1. Recruiting felons into Islam in U.S. prisons

2. Recruiting U.S. military personnel

3. Proselytizing on more than 500 college campuses across the United States

4. Covertly raising funds for terrorist groups through U.S.-based Muslim charities

5. Providing financial support - and gaining control - of 70-80 percent of U.S. mosques, and

6. Setting up private Muslim K-12 schools to indoctrinate U.S. Muslims into fundamentalist Islam (We ran an expose on one of these located just a few miles from our HQ which you can find at http://www.citizensoldier.org/madrassa.html.)

Norquist&#039;s relationship with Muslim groups that support terrorism became public after Norquist launched an unexpected and inexplicably vitriolic attack against Frank Gaffney, the President of the Center for Security Policy.

During a routine Conservative Political Action Conference meeting in early February, Gaffney participated in a panel discussion about the balance to be struck in time of war between preserving civil liberties and safeguarding American&#039;s lives and safety. Gafney expressed concern about one of the most insidious of the Wahhabis&#039; activities, a concerted attempt to penetrate and influence the Executive and Legislative branch of our government.

Gafney noted that groups like the American Muslim Council (AMC) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) have been able to gain access to the White House thanks to the White House&#039;s Associate Director of Cabinet Affairs Ali Tulbah, a Muslim, and his predecessor, Suhail Kahn. At the same time, Tulbah and Kahn have excluded moderate American Muslim groups from White House access. Both Tulbah and Kahn have family ties to extremist &lt;strong&gt;Wahhabi religious groups&lt;/strong&gt;. AMC and CAIR have expressed support for Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al Qaeda and are actively campaigning to waterdown immigration controls, law enforcement, and intelligence gathering.

Gaffney&#039;s concerns are legitimate, because granting access to Muslim extremists gives them a chance to exercise undue influence over policy -&lt;strong&gt; undermining the war on terrorism &lt;/strong&gt;- and confers a legitimacy that allows them to dominate the U.S. Islamic community.

Norquist responded to Gaffney&#039;s comments by calling Gaffney a racist and religious bigot in an appearance on Fox News Channel and in letters sent to the Washington Post and Washington Times and barring Gaffney from attending the most important meeting in Washington, the regular Wednesday meetings of conservative Capitol Hill aides and interest-group representatives held in Norquist&#039;s offices.(just Like King George)

It is unclear whether the Muslims who have been acting as White House gatekeepers - Ali Tulbah and Suhail Kahn - were actually placed in that position by Grover Norquist&#039;s Islamic Institute. Norquist is credited with delivering the Muslim vote for Bush in the 2000 election and has the ear of the most influential man in Washington, Karl Rove, President Bush&#039;s political advisor. Rove has been a featured speaker at Norquist&#039;s Wednesday meetings. 

Although it is not noted on either group&#039;s website, Norquist&#039;s Islamic Institute actually shares office space and staff with Americans for Tax Reform.

According to news reports, while Norquist served as founding Chairman of the Islamic Institute the group received seed money from Abdurahman Alamoudi, then a member of the left-wing American Muslim Council. MSNBC and Fox News have aired videotapes of Alamoudi standing in front of the White House, declaring his support for Hamas and Hezbollah. Hamas is currently one of the leading groups responsible for Palestinian suicide bombers. Hezbollah, sponsored by the Iranian government, was responsible for the death of 240 Marines in Beirut in the 1980s and is believed to be responsible for the attack on Khobar Towers</description>

Setting up private Muslim K-12 schools to indoctrinate U.S. Muslims into fundamentalist Islam (We ran an expose on one of these located just a few miles from our HQ which you can find at <a href="http://www.citizensoldier.org/madrassa.html.)" rel="nofollow">http://www.citizensoldier.org/madrassa.html.)</a></p>
<p>Norquist&#8217;s relationship with Muslim groups that support terrorism became public after Norquist launched an unexpected and inexplicably vitriolic attack against Frank Gaffney, the President of the Center for Security Policy.</p>
<p>During a routine Conservative Political Action Conference meeting in early February, Gaffney participated in a panel discussion about the balance to be struck in time of war between preserving civil liberties and safeguarding American&#8217;s lives and safety. Gafney expressed concern about one of the most insidious of the Wahhabis&#8217; activities, a concerted attempt to penetrate and influence the Executive and Legislative branch of our government.</p>
<p>Gafney noted that groups like the American Muslim Council (AMC) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) have been able to gain access to the White House thanks to the White House&#8217;s Associate Director of Cabinet Affairs Ali Tulbah, a Muslim, and his predecessor, Suhail Kahn. At the same time, Tulbah and Kahn have excluded moderate American Muslim groups from White House access. Both Tulbah and Kahn have family ties to extremist <strong>Wahhabi religious groups</strong>. AMC and CAIR have expressed support for Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al Qaeda and are actively campaigning to waterdown immigration controls, law enforcement, and intelligence gathering.</p>
<p>Gaffney&#8217;s concerns are legitimate, because granting access to Muslim extremists gives them a chance to exercise undue influence over policy -<strong> undermining the war on terrorism </strong>- and confers a legitimacy that allows them to dominate the U.S. Islamic community.</p>
<p>Norquist responded to Gaffney&#8217;s comments by calling Gaffney a racist and religious bigot in an appearance on Fox News Channel and in letters sent to the Washington Post and Washington Times and barring Gaffney from attending the most important meeting in Washington, the regular Wednesday meetings of conservative Capitol Hill aides and interest-group representatives held in Norquist&#8217;s offices.(just Like King George)</p>
<p>It is unclear whether the Muslims who have been acting as White House gatekeepers &#8211; Ali Tulbah and Suhail Kahn &#8211; were actually placed in that position by Grover Norquist&#8217;s Islamic Institute. Norquist is credited with delivering the Muslim vote for Bush in the 2000 election and has the ear of the most influential man in Washington, Karl Rove, President Bush&#8217;s political advisor. Rove has been a featured speaker at Norquist&#8217;s Wednesday meetings. </p>
<p>Although it is not noted on either group&#8217;s website, Norquist&#8217;s Islamic Institute actually shares office space and staff with Americans for Tax Reform.</p>
<p>According to news reports, while Norquist served as founding Chairman of the Islamic Institute the group received seed money from Abdurahman Alamoudi, then a member of the left-wing American Muslim Council. MSNBC and Fox News have aired videotapes of Alamoudi standing in front of the White House, declaring his support for Hamas and Hezbollah. Hamas is currently one of the leading groups responsible for Palestinian suicide bombers. Hezbollah, sponsored by the Iranian government, was responsible for the death of 240 Marines in Beirut in the 1980s and is believed to be responsible for the attack on Khobar Towers, a barracks in Saudi Arabia<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=427024', 400, 400)"></a></p>
