(Rep) Allen West warns of Muslim Brotherhood `infiltration’
Source: Sun Sentinel

South Florida Congressman Allen West has invited his colleagues to a Capitol Hill briefing that promises to reveal the “infiltration” of the Muslim Brotherhood and thousands of its allies throughout the United States.

The briefing set for Monday springs from a report by the Citizens for National Security, a Boca Raton-based group that claims extensive expertise on defense, intelligence and terrorism.

“The report identifies the major religious organizations in the United States that have stemmed from the Muslim Brotherhood, including 501©(3) charities, religious groups, community centers, schools and similar offshoots from primary organizations that it controls,” West told fellow House members.

The group plans to name names and raise the specter of a vast network dedicated to waging a Jihad, or holy war.

West just overheard four old Jewish men at Einsteins one morning talking about Muslims while eating bagels and sipping the hazelnut decaf.

29. AND had to retire after a torture "incident" for which he said he would do
again.

Pretty nice bit of bigotry for a black man born in the south.

3. I love guilt by association.
Edited on Thu Jul-21-11 12:55 PM by chelsea0011
He better have proof that the brotherhood is itself financing this and is in full compliance rather than someone who knows someone who once went to a meeting with someone who is a member of the brotherhood who gave money to a terrorist organization. I betting it is more like Six degrees of Kevin Bacon. I'll guess we will have to wait.

I once belonged to the Catholic church and gave money to it so that whole pedophile scandal can be laid at my doorstep.

25. There are two democratic candidates already declared
The favorite is probably Lois Frankel, but Patrick Murphy is collecting a lot of money.

Murphy says all the right things on his website, but I'm a little leery because I've seen him described as a former republican.

There is also the possibility (probability?) of redistricting.

26. Lois was my mayor here in West Palm and was a congress critter
back in the day. She is a progressive Dem and believe me she does not suffer fools. I would love, love to see her in a debate with West. She could flatten him without raising a hand.

19. I wonder who this groiup consists of?

"Extensive expertise"?

Like KKK members are all 'experts' on race relations?

23. Citizens for National Security
Their website describes themselves as non-partisan. Ha ha ha ha. Don't know anything about William Saxton but one of the other heads of the organization Peter Leitner writes books like "Shadow Government: What Obama Doesn't Want You to Know About His Czars," which rages on about homosexuals infiltrating our schools, how the government is plotting to take our guns and incandescent light bulbs (I kid you not), etc.

Yeah, this is an organization I trust to present an informed, unbiased, non-partisan view.
