O'Reilly Screws Up Again

[protectionist]

You sure have peaked our interest. can't wait for the follow up reports.

As I promised in the OP, I'll report more about Hussein. In the OP I mentioned that this White House position of Hussein's has "enabled him to reinterpret the intentions of Islamists, as opposed to Islamic moderates, to American policy makers and to promote their agendas under the guise of “repairing relations with the Muslim world."

For instance, in a speech on July 20, 2010, Rashad Hussain called the President’s Cairo address “[a framework] that recognizes that we cannot engage one-fourth of the world’s population based on the beliefs of just a fringe few and that our engagement can’t be limited to an issue like violent extremism, but that it must be much broader than that.” This statement is a classic “influence operation.” It misrepresents as the “beliefs of just a fringe few” what are, in fact, the teachings and practice of mainstream Islam’s Sharia doctrine. It characterizes as “violent extremism” what is actually jihad, and says that we must look beyond the threat it represents. And it implies that the United States must “engage” with those who are perpetrating jihadism, or at least supporting it, instead of actively combating them.

Rashad Hussain has also lent the prestige of his office to Muslim Brotherhood-organized “interfaith dialogue” initiatives. For example, he participated in an August 2010 “bridge-building” trip arranged by Suhail Khan, another figure with Brotherhood ties who has also served in federal government (at the Department of Transportation.) This trip involved, among others, eight prominent American Islamists and the U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism, Hannah Rosenthal. Hussain has also been among those in the Obama administration encouraging efforts to “bridge the differences” between the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of freedom of expression and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s efforts to prohibit and criminalize worldwide expression that “defames” Islam. Rashad Hussain pursues this “bridge-building” under the auspices of what has been dubbed “the Istanbul Process.” This diplomatic enterprise was begun in Istanbul in July 2011 and involves the OIC, the United States, and the European Union in an effort to accommodate Islamist demands for restrictions on free speech about Muslim issues such as violence against women, religious persecution of Christians and expressions of genocidal hatred of Israel.

The consequences of this initiative could be seen in a 2011 meeting in Washington of the “Istanbul Process.” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton affirmed a problematic UN convention that declares, “Any advocacy of hatred that ‘constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law.’” While the use of “incitement” in that formulation was believed by U.S. participants to be a successful way of finessing the OIC’s effort to ban outright expression of ideas it deems offensive to Islam, the secretary general of the OIC, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, declared that this agreement is not the “end of the road.” One question not addressed was whether, as we continue to navigate that still open “road” in the future – that portends for our fundamental constitutional rights – it is advisable to have an American representative to the OIC who has so much in common with his Islamist interlocutors and therefore may believe, as they do, that free and open discussions of the true nature of radical Islam must be prohibited and even criminalized?

What is very clear is that obama favors muslims over Christians and Jews in every way possible.

Its actually quite logical, his biological father and step father were muslims, he attended muslim madrassas in Indonesia. He was indoctrinated with islam in his formative years.

He called the muslim call to prayer "the prettiest sound on earth". If anyone doubts that he is a muslim sympathizer then they are ignoring what is very easy to see.

[peach174]

On his Fox News Show, the Factor, Bill O'Reilly invited fellow Fox commentator Eric Shawn to report on 3 alleged jihadist type characters in the White House, who evangelist Franklin Graham had suggested were influencing president Obama.

Here's what Shawn reported to O'Reilly (who accepted point-blank everything Shawn said) regarding 3 Muslims that Rev. Graham singled out.

1. Arif Alikhan - Shawn said he was a former Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles, Asst. Sect of Homeland Security in the Policy Development Office, is currently the highest ranking civilain commander in the LA Police dept,. He said Alikhan has no radical or pro-jihad views that we know of, and worked for John Ashcroft. O'Reilly then curtly said "So he's a security guy".

"Security guy" ? What I find disturbing about this little exchange is that Shawn is simply presenting the legitimate respected jobs Alikhan has had, and holding them up as if this was proof that Alikhan is without any radical jihad ties.

Here's what is part of that "not that we know of" stuff Shawn mentioned, but which I DO happen to know of. Alikhan is a founder of the World Islamic Organization, which the Egyptian magazine, Rose El-Youseff, identifies as a Muslim Brotherhood "subsidiary." In addition, back in 2007, Alikhan was instrumental in removing the Muslim terror tracking plan in LA.The controversial Muslim ‘Mapping’ Plan of the Los Angeles Police Department is now “dead on arrival” according to Chief William Bratton. “It is over and not just put on the side,” said Chief Bratton in a meeting with the Muslim leadership of Southern California on Thursday, November 15th. The meeting was moderated by Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles, Arif Alikhan and attended by Deputy Chief Mike Downing.

2. Shaw presented the next name Graham gave (Mohamed Elibiary) as a real pro-jihadist bad guy, so I'll give Shaw and o'Reilly credit on that one.

3. Rashad Hussein - Again Shawn presents the guy's govt job record, as if this somehow legitimizes him, and relieves him of all suspicion as a pro-jihadist (if not Muslim Brotherhood operative). Again goes with the certainly not that we know of, and O'reilly concludes, "All right, so he's a legitimate guy, with legitimate business"

Well, too bad Bill apparently never read my OP here in USMB back in entitled Obama Administration = the Muslim Brotherhood, which if he had done so, he might not have made these foolish and ignorant comments.

The pro-jihad and Muslim Brotherhood scoop on Hussein is long and well-documented. Here's what I wrote in my USMB OP on him. >>

Rashad Hussain - long been involved with various Muslim Brotherhood front organizations including Abdurahman Alamoudi’s American Muslim Council and The International Institute of Islamic Thought (or IIIT) to which jihadists like Sami al-Arian (who pled guilty in 2006 to organizing secret financial contributions to the Palestine Islamic Jihad, a terrorist group) and Jamal Barzinji, a founding father of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood, also have ties. Hussain was also involved in the original Brotherhood front in America, the Muslim Students Association.
An example of Hussain’s sympathies can be found in his declaration at a Muslim Students Association conference in Chicago in September 2004 that Sami al-Arian had been subjected to a “politically motivated prosecution.”
In January 2009, Hussain was named Deputy Associate White House Counsel. Among his government responsibilities in that capacity were national security and new media issues. More specifically he has been charged with “helping inform the administration’s Muslim outreach efforts,” and consulting on the drafting of President Obama’s first address to the “Muslim World” delivered in June 2009 at Cairo University in Egypt. On February 20, 2010, the President announced that Hussain would serve as his “special envoy” to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
Even more than his White House post, this job with the OIC has given Hussain a platform for facilitating official outreach to Islamists, as opposed to Islamic moderates. It has enabled him to reinterpret their intentions to American policy makers and to promote their agendas under the guise of “repairing relations with the Muslim world."

Hussein's jihadist ties can be exposed further, but I have presented a condensed version for brevity's sake, to limit the size of this already long (but damn important) OP. If anyone wished to contest the radicalism of Rashad Hussein, I'll be happy to present more of his dirt in the posts.

My USMB expose' OP of Obama Administration Muslim Brotherhooders also listed 3 others who Franklin Graham did not list, and thus weren't mentioned on the Factor, and these were Huma Abedin, Dalia Mogahed, and Mohammed Magid. Also not mentioned by Graham (or Shaw and O'Reilly) were Salam al-Marayati and Eboo Patel, also named in the Rose El-Youseff article.

Disturbing though is how incredibly absent of information Shaw and O'Reilly were as they sat there talking on this much watched, highly rated media show, as is they were knowledgable, while not realizing how much they did NOT know, and badly misleading the public.

The people who watch O'Reilly knows that it is an opinion show and not a news show.
They have the right to their opinions.
