Grover Norquist and radical Islam

The association between Grover Norquist and Islamists appears to have started about five years ago, in 1998, when he became the founding chairman of an organization called the Islamic Free Market Institute, better known as the Islamic Institute. The Institute's stated purpose was to cultivate Muslim-Americans and Arab-Americans whose attachment to conservative family values and capitalism made them potential allies for the Republican Party in advance of the 2000 presidential election. . . .

Unfortunately, some associated with the Islamic Institute evidently had another agenda. Abdurahman Alamoudi, for one, a self-described "supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah," the prime-mover behind the American Muslim Council (AMC) and a number of other U.S.-based Islamist-sympathizing/supporting organizations, saw in the Islamic Institute a golden opportunity to hedge his bets.

The founding director of Grover Norquist's Islamic Institute, Khaled Saffuri, is a Muslim Palestinian by birth. Prior to joining Alamoudi's group (where he served for almost three years), Saffuri was active in Muslim-support operations in Bosnia, a hot-bed for Islamic radicals from Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere anxious to establish a beachhead on the continent of Europe. In recent years, he has acknowledged personally supporting the families of suicide bombers - even though, in public settings, he strenuously denies having done so. He denounced President Bush for shutting down the Holy Land Foundation, a Saudi charity that the U.S. government determined was funneling American Muslims' donations to terrorist organizations overseas. . . .

3. This OP cites the hate website of Robert Spencer...

...an Islamophobic hate propagandist affiliated with Pamela Geller. Here is just one of the articles on him at the Southern Poverty Law Center:

This OP should be deleted.

4. "Jihadwatch" is a page of the far-right "FrontPageMag."

First paragraph of that article shows just how anti-*ALL* Muslims it is.

"Frank Gaffney has written in FrontPage magazine an article that is much needed and long overdue: "A Troubling Influence," about the extensive ties that conservative activist Grover Norquist has with radical Islamic elements."

Frank Gaffney is a religious bigot and rabble-rouser.

From Gaffney's Wikipedia:

In October 2008, Gaffney questioned whether then Illinois Senator Barack Obama was a "natural born citizen of the United States" and his legal eligibility to be the President of the United States.[18] In a series of Washington Times articles from February to June 2009, Gaffney accused the Obama administration of effectively adopting the Muslim Brotherhood's plan for the Middle East; Sharia law.[19][20][21]

Gaffney continued this theme in a February 24, 2010 column on Andrew Breitbart's BigGovernment, when Gaffney attacked the administration's plans to modernize and update the missile defense program as "US submission to Islam" from "an Alinsky acolyte", citing as evidence the redesigned logo of the Missile Defense Agency.[22]
"Team Obama’s anti-anti-missile initiatives are not simply acts of unilateral disarmament of the sort to be expected from an Alinsky acolyte. They seem to fit an increasingly obvious and worrying pattern of official U.S. submission to Islam and the theo-political-legal program the latter’s authorities call Shariah. "What could be code-breaking evidence of the latter explanation is to be found in the newly-disclosed redesign of the Missile Defense Agency logo.... As Logan helpfully shows, the new MDA shield appears ominously to reflect a morphing of the Islamic crescent and star with the Obama campaign logo."
However, Al Kamen reported that the new Missile Defense Agency logo is over three years old and was actually developed during the George Bush administration.[23]

[edit] Recent activities

In a series of articles in 2011, Gaffney charged that Suhail Khan's participation in the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) allowed for Muslim Brotherhood influence on the proceedings.[24]

In Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Gaffney testified to support a lawsuit against the then-planned Islamic Center of Murfreesboro.[25]

5. Norquist's wife is Muslim.

The only nice thing I can ever say about that scum bucket is he is not Islamophobic. Even during the Shrub administration. Unfortunately, that does not redeem him in my eyes.
