WH Tours Open for Muslim Brotherhood Groups

via White House Partners with Muslim Brotherhood Front.


The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a group with Muslim Brotherhood origins and an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror-financing trial, recently toured the White House and met with multiple officials. According to the group, Paul Monteiro, Associate Director of the Office of Public Engagement, “cited ISNA as his primary means of outreach to the American Muslim community.”

The Obama administration’s close relationship with ISNA is about more than photo ops and press releases. It is about policy formulation. The input of ISNA is so treasured that the officials coached the organization on how to engage the White House.

On March 8, ISNA President Mohamed Magid joined 10 other religious leaders in a 90-minute conversation with President Obama about immigration reform. Also present was senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett, who spoke at ISNA’s 2009 convention. Three days later, Magid took part in a meeting with President Obama where he got “recommendations” in preparation for his Middle East trip, including some from groups with a history of defending Hezbollah.

“Over the past two years, I-along with my White House colleagues-have benefited from the advice of many of your [Magid’s] organizations through our Office of Public Engagement,” said Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough on March 6, 2011 during a speech at the mosque that Magid leads.

ISNA’s White House tour included spending time with George Selim, the White House Director for Community Partnerships, who is an annual speaker at ISNA’s conventions. Selim previously admitted that “hundreds” of meetings have taken place between government officials and the Council on American-Islamic Relations, another group with Brotherhood origins that was designated an unindicted co-conspirator.

The U.S. government stated that ISNA is a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity when it designated it as an unindicted co-conspirator in the trial of the Holy Land Foundation. A federal judge upheld the designation in 2009 because of “ample” evidence linking ISNA to Hamas. A 1991 U.S. Muslim Brotherhood memo lists ISNA and several of its components among “our organizations and the organizations of our friends,” and a 1988 document says it is part of the Brotherhood “apparatus.”

The FBI had sources inside the U.S. Brotherhood network reporting that ISNA was a front as early as 1987. The source traveled on behalf of ISNA and allied groups and he told the FBI that he is “convinced that this organization has a secret agenda which includes the spread of the Islamic Revolution to all non-Islamic governments in the world which does include the United States.”

The source provided a secret ISNA document in 1988 that “clearly states that ISNA has a political goal to exert influence on political decision making and legislation in North America that is contrary to their certification in their not-for-profit tax returns,” says a declassified FBI memo.

ISNA’s White House tour was part of its Founders Committee meeting.

What's that got to do with public tours of the White House?

This is a group of people who met with the president. They didn't go on a tour.
 
Poor Howey

1. They're Americans. Why can't they go to the WH? Is it only for Christian Americans?

2. Obama didn't cancel the tours. The secret service did in order to keep their field workers from being furloughed.

3. What's the deal with the ISNA? Did you bitch when Bush invited them to the White House after 9/11?

ISNA is mainstream group promoted by the Bush administration

Group's leader met with Bush after 9-11. On September 14, 2001, then-ISNA president Muzammil Siddiqi read a prayer -- reportedly at the invitation of the Bush White House -- at the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance held at Washington's National Cathedral, attended by then-President Bush and several former presidents. Siddiqi said, "Repel the evil with the good. Give us comfort. Help us in our distress." On September 26, 2001, Siddiqi was among a group of Muslim leaders invited to a gathering at the White House, where Bush said he was "proud of the Muslim leaders across America who have risen up and who have not only insisted that America be strong, but that America keep the values intact that have made us so unique and different -- the values of respect, the values of freedom to worship the way we see fit."

Bush DOJ reportedly co-sponsored ISNA convention. The U.S. Department of Justice reportedly served as a co-sponsor of ISNA's 2007 national convention. The Washington Times reported in 2007 that a DOJ spokesperson said, "The Civil Rights Division will have a table at the ISNA convention over Labor Day weekend to hand out literature and answer questions about the division's work. The ISNA convention attracts more than 30,000 American Muslims every year, and the division has had tables at the convention in previous years." DOJ also reportedly had an information table at the 2009 ISNA convention.
