Muslim on Homeland Security Advisory Council

Muslim on Homeland Security Advisory Council: "

Everyone knows that the reason we have to take off our shoes, have our toothpaste confiscated, and get photographed naked or groped at the airport is because Religion of Peaceniks keep trying to kill us out of sheer evil. We go through these intensely irritating rituals so that our liberal rulers can make it clear that they would rather we suffer than profile the Muslims who commit terror attacks. Twisting the insanity another notch tighter, the very people who should be profiled reportedly get exemptions from the intrusive searches they have made supposedly necessary for the rest of us. It sure helps to have friends in high places:

Exemptions for Muslim women wearing traditional garb may be the brainchild of Mohamed Elibiary, who recently was made a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council. Mr. Elibiary is president and chief executive officer of the Texas-based Freedom and Justice Foundation and a self-styled "de-radicalization expert" whose star has risen during the Obama presidency. He previously was appointed to Homeland Security's Countering Violent Extremism Working Group and has testified before Congress as an expert on Muslim radicalism — a topic he seems to know well.

In December 2004, Mr. Elibiary spoke at a conference honoring the life and works of the 'great Islamic visionary,' Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. In 2008, Mr. Elibiary denounced the conviction of Hamas-connected members of the Holy Land Foundation for material support of terrorism. Most alarmingly, Mr. Elibiary is an admirer of the work of Sayyid Qutb, the intellectual and spiritual godfather of modern jihadism. Mr. Elibiary argues that Qutb is greatly misunderstood. 'Many Westerners who've read Qutb's and many others' work,' Mr. Elibiary wrote, 'see the potential for a strong spiritual rebirth that's truly ecumenical allowing all faiths practiced in America to enrich us and motivate us to serve God better by serving our fellow man more.'

No one who has read Qutb's work can mistake it for anything but an all-out assault on the American way of life and a call for a global Islamic takeover. The 9/11 Commission noted Qutb's role as an inspiration to al Qaeda and concluded that, "No middle ground exists in what Qutb conceived as a struggle between God and Satan. All Muslims — as he defined them — therefore must take up arms in this fight. Any Muslim who rejects his ideas is just one more nonbeliever worthy of destruction." Qutb — who lived in the United States as a student in the late 1940s — developed a comprehensive anti-American ideology that's widely cited as the basis for the contemporary violent Islamic extremism with which America is at war.

Maybe this makes sense after all. What would you expect a Muslim to do on the Homeland Security Advisory Council if not facilitate terrorism? Not even Big Sis should be taken by surprise. Going back a step, what would you expect the protégé of Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers to do if not load the government with other fanatics motivated by anti-American ideology? As Tom Brokaw would say, Take this, America!

Mohamed Elibiary. Feel safe?
