From Breitbart:
The most terrifying danger Americans face from a second Barack Obama term isn’t the economy, which is scary enough.
The most harrowing prospect is the Obama Administration’s passivity in the face of attempts to introduce aspects of sharia law into our legal system. Now there is strong and open evidence of the Obama administration collaborating with Islamist activists to ensure the path toward sharia law is accelerated.
Just last week, Thomas Perez, Assistant Attorney General of the Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Division, was asked this question by Trent Franks (R-AZ), a member of the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution: "Will you tell us here today that this Administration's Department of Justice will never entertain or advance a proposal that criminalizes speech against any religion?"
Perez refused to answer. Four times.
And why would Franks target Perez?
Here’s why:
Last October, at George Washington University, there was a meeting between DOJ officials, including Perez, and Islamist advocates against free speech. Representatives from the Islamist side included Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). The ISNA was an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding trial in 2008, as well as functioning as a Muslim Brotherhood Front. The leader of the Islamist attack was Sahar Aziz, an Egyptian-born American lawyer and Fellow at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, a Muslim advocacy group based in Michigan. At the meeting, the Islamists lobbied for:
- Cutbacks in U.S. anti-terror training
- Limits on the power of terrorism investigators
- Changes in agent training manuals
- A legal declaration that criticism of Islam in the United States should be considered racial discrimination
Aziz said that the word “Muslim” has become “racialized” and, once American criticism of Islam was silenced, the effect would be to "take [federal] money away from local police departments and fusion centers who are spying on all of us.”
And what was the response from Perez and the DOJ officials?
Nothing.
That’s right: no objection, no defense of our first amendment right to free speech.

Just wait and see what happens with his 'fundamental transformation of the the United States' if this guy, a friggin' nobody, gets a second term.
Bigelow, at Breitbart, says, "The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) was an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding trial in 2008, as well as functioning as a Muslim Brotherhood Front." This nasty article uses techniques similar to those used by the discredited Joe McCarthy in the fifties, employing guilt-by-association witch-hunting rhetoric instead of reporting the fact that the courts have explicitly ruled that there is no basis for such a label. Even the FBI acknowledges that it was wrong to name 245 Muslim organizations as "unindicted co-conspirators" in a dubious case prosecuting people for giving charitable contributions for humanitarian purposes.
The allegation that the Islamic Society of North America was a "Muslim Brotherhood Front" arose from the 2007 Holy Land Foundation "terrorist financing" case, in which the United States Department of Justice placed ISNA, along with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and the North American Islamic Trust, and practically every Muslim other organization in the country, on a list of "Unindicted Co-conspirators and/or Joint Venturers" and one of a number of "entities who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood." The vague characterization of "Joint Venturer," seeming to accuse people with not even the implication of criminal behavior, is most reminiscent of the McCarthy smear techniques.
But a federal appeals court removed the label for all parties, ruling the designation was the result of "simply an untested allegation of the Government, made in anticipation of a possible evidentiary dispute that never came to pass." (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_on_American%E2%80%93Islamic_Relations for more information.)
This blog post originates from nothing but an attempt by Trent Franks to stir up trouble where none exists. The convoluted question Franks kept asking Perez is like me asking you whether you will promise to never start beating your wife. Trent Frank is one of the infamous five congresspeople including Michelle Bachmann who attacked Huma Adedin as disloyal simply because she is Muslim. He and Michelle Bachmann and you are despicable in your betrayal of American values of fair play and the freedom to practice one's religion in peace.
You would have fit right in to the American Know-Nothing party of the 1850s, which attacked Catholics, claiming they would impose Papal law if we allowed them to immigrate into the country, vote, and hold office.

For an organization that has tried to distance itself from its Muslim Brotherhood roots, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) continues to rely on a Muslim Brotherhood official as a key speaker at many of its events.
Jamal Badawi is scheduled to speak during three sessions at ISNA's East Regional Conference in Tampa this weekend. Among them, "Understanding Shari'ah: Sacred Principles in Striving for the Human Development."
Badawi, a member at large on ISNA's governing board, is deeply rooted in the Muslim Brotherhood's North American infrastructure, records show. He is listed on the first page of a 1992 telephone directory of Brotherhood members. He also was founding member of the Muslim American Society (MAS), identified as the Brotherhood's U.S. arm in a 2004 Chicago Tribune story.
"Everyone knows that MAS is the Muslim Brotherhood," Abdurrahman Alamoudi testified in a Virginia courtroom last month. Alamoudi, once the nation's most influential Muslim political figure, acknowledges his own Brotherhood involvement.
Brotherhood members also created ISNA in 1981 as an outgrowth of the Muslim Students' Association.
The Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928, has surged to power in recent Egyptian elections and has a global Islamic state, or Caliphate, as its ultimate goal. Its American arm cited an educational program Badawi ran in 1991 as a foundation for "dawa," or proselytizing, in America. That same document described the Brotherhood's work in America as "a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."
Badawi's comments over the years show he views Islam as superior to democracy and that he defends violent jihad, including suicide bombings, as a form of martyrdom. Such statements, in addition to his Brotherhood connections, make it difficult for ISNA to claim that it has shed its radical past and MB ties.
During a February 2009 speech on "Understanding Jihad and Martyrdom," at the Chebucto Mosque in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Badawi explained that Gaza-based terrorists were fighting a jihad and that those who were killed were martyrs. He railed against those who criticized the terrorists or cooperated with the Israelis, saying that it was an 'excess' by more moderate Muslims to come out against their brothers fighting the Jewish state.

The idea that the ISNA ties to the Muslim Brotherhood are limited to evidence presented in the Holy Land Foundation trial is simply not true.
John Hickey,
Here's more information:
Sallah Sultan was a member of the Fiqh Council of the ISNA.
here is some other information about him:

and
http://weaselzippers.us/2012/08/08/former-ohio-based-cleric-muslims-worldwide-thirst-for-the-blood-of-the-jews/
There's lots of information like this out there, if you look.
BTW, why is there a problem promising to never start beating your wife.
and BTW#2, the idea that speech might be limited on the basis of SOME PEOPLE being offended by it, and/or categorizing criticism of political activism by individuals whose religious affiliation MATTERS IN THE LEAST would be VIOLATION of ANY PRESIDENT'S OATH OF OFFICE .."PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND",and would be 100% guaranteed to not only fire off a supreme court challenge by MILLIONS OF PEOPLE VIOLATING THE LAW TO GET STANDING, it would also GUARANTEE AN IMPEACHMENT.
Ye, gods! How much clearer can it get as to what the Obama administration is up to?
So, then you agree with me that Allah Is Gay.
Yes, you have revealed the Truthiness. When Obama is reelected, he will impose Sharia Law on Amercia, including:
* mandatory gay marriage (and abortion)
* give control of women's private parts to women (how disgusting is that?)
* spare ribs and beer.
Also, did you know that there are NO GUNS in the Koran?
