Now We Have Proof Jihadis are Infiltrating DC
Congress seizes on explosive new book based on
daring undercover CAIR probe
In the wake of the
sensational ACORN video sting operation by two young investigators, an even
more daring, dangerous and devastating undercover investigation - this one
infiltrating the nation's most aggressive Muslim "civil rights"
organization for six months - has resulted in stunning revelations about the
supposedly "moderate" group, backed up by 12,000 pages of documents and
300 hours of covert video obtained during the secret op.
As revealed in a new book
detailing the operation and its findings, the Washington, D.C.-based Council on
American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, is not the beneficent Muslim civil-rights
group it claims to be. Rather, as indisputable evidence now shows, CAIR and
other "mainstream" Islamic groups are acting as fronts for a
well-funded conspiracy of the Muslim Brotherhood – the parent of al-Qaida and
Hamas – to infiltrate and destroy the American system.
Until now, CAIR has
remained a powerful force in the nation's capitol and across the country, from demanding
the Obama administration stop FBI counter-terrorism tactics to compelling
a school district to apologize to Muslims.
That influence, many
believe, may be coming to an end, as a result of the stunning undercover
investigation -- which included the son of a veteran counter-terrorism
investigator, who grew a beard and converted to Islam, as well as two veiled
female interns.
Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to
Islamize America," a WND Books publication by counter-terrorism
investigator Dave Gaubatz and "Infiltration"
author Paul Sperry, documents CAIR's ultimate purpose to transform the United
States into an Islamic nation under the authority of the Quran.
The book already has
prompted action on Capitol Hill.
With evidence from "Muslim Mafia" in hand, U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick,
R-N.C., co-founder of the Congressional Anti-Terror Caucus, and other members
of Congress – including Reps. John Shadegg, R-Ariz., and Paul Broun, R-Ga. –
plan to hold a press conference today in Washington calling for an
investigation and an end to political lobbying by front groups such as CAIR.
"Now we have proof –
from the secret documents that this investigative team has uncovered, coupled
with the ones recently declassified by the FBI – that [radical Islamists]
agents living among us have a plan in place, and they are successfully carrying
out that subversive plan," Myrick writes in the foreword to "Muslim Mafia."
Noting that CAIR has tried
to hide its strategy, finances, membership, internal disputes and much more
from public view since its founding in 1994, Islam
expert Daniel Pipes lauded "Muslim Mafia" for definitively exposing the
"tawdry and often illegal inner workings of radical Islam's most
aggressive organization in North America."
"The revelations in
this book should both put CAIR out of business and permanently discredit the
Islamist cause," Pipes said.
Undercover
The book begins as a
real-life, heart-pounding thriller, with Chris Gaubatz, the son of co-author
David Gaubatz, preparing to go underground as an intern for CAIR at its
Herndon, Va., office.
Astoundingly, the younger
Gaubatz, posing as a bearded Muslim convert, ends up with a position at CAIR's
national office in
Along with declassified
government documents, the book unveils thousands of e-mails, faxes and internal
memos that were never meant for public viewing.
The new evidence shows that
CAIR – already designated
an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror-financing case in U.S.
history – is part of an organized crime network in
"Muslim Mafia" also exposes the inner workings of
the mob-like Brotherhood and explains its broader conspiracy of infiltrating
the American government and "destroying Western civilization from
within."
"The evidence found in
the investigation is incontrovertible," said co-author Sperry, noting that
the book has more than 40 pages of footnotes and an appendix with more than 50
pages of exclusive confidential documents.
The Brotherhood is known
within Islamist circles as the "Ikhwan mafia" because of its highly
organized structure, centralized control and covert operations. CAIR, reveals "Muslim Mafia," is one part of the network of
front groups, cut-outs and shell companies that shield the Brotherhood's
criminal activities from authorities.
"These guys talk about
jihad and murdering Jews like the mob talked about killing – totally casual,
like they were ordering pizza," said one FBI official in
Some key smoking-gun
revelations detailed in "Muslim Mafia" include:
The book also shows radical
Muslims in the U.S. are working to support Palestinian terrorists, destroy
Israel, gut U.S. anti-terrorism laws, loosen U.S. Muslim immigration policies
and convert Americans to Islam.
The authors explain they
targeted CAIR because it helps control the "religious crime syndicate from
its power base in
While the FBI has cut
formal ties to CAIR in the wake of its designation
as an unindicted co-conspirator in a plot to fund the Palestinian terrorist
group Hamas, the group has virtually unfettered access to Capitol Hill and
continues to wield influence in the White House.
CAIR, the book reveals,
regularly reserves meeting rooms and prays Fridays alongside Muslim Rep. Keith
Ellison, D-Minn., and a growing number of Muslim staffers.
The first Muslim elected to
Congress and a de facto CAIR board member, Ellison predicted in one CAIR power
breakfast he soon would be flanked by 15 other Muslim congressmen, "Muslim Mafia" notes.
Chris Gaubatz, in fact,
once found himself praying elbow-to-elbow with Ellison during a Friday prayer
gathering attended by CAIR inside the U.S. Capitol.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
D-Calif., the book says, is totally in the dark about the threat, and so is the
White House.
In fact, reveals "Muslim Mafia," in the White House President
Obama is hiring Muslims – including an adviser who advocates compliance with
Shariah law – based on resumes solicited from Muslim Brotherhood fronts.
Meanwhile, the FBI is in
conflict internally about how to deal with the Brotherhood, with some top
officials in favor of maintaining outreach, while counter-terror case agents in
the field strongly object, pointing to evidence the network is a factory for
homegrown terror and is secretly carrying out activities hostile to the
"They've achieved
outrageous penetration at senior levels of our government," veteran FBI
special agent John Guandolo warns in the book.
Until recently, the FBI
engaged in outreach activities with CAIR, including forcing rookie agents to
take cultural field trips to area mosques.
The "Muslim Mafia" authors obtained notes revealing
the FBI even has offered to sponsor Muslim youth camps with the Boys Clubs of
America.
A shortage of Arab
linguists and dozens of discrimination suits by Arab and Muslim employees has
prompted the FBI to recruit from Brotherhood-related groups, such as the Islamic
Society of North America
A Muslim
agent who drew national attention when he refused to tape-record a fellow
Muslim during a terrorism investigation was promoted and now recruits other
Muslims to become agents and linguists.
'Hit sheets'
The book also presents
evidence CAIR has prepared "hit sheets" on its critics in the news
media in an effort to intimidate them into silence.
Internal memos show, for
example, top officials privately met with CNN executives in
CAIR's
campaign to boycott leading nationally syndicated radio talk-show host Michael
Savage's advertisers cost more than $160,000, the book reveals. The authors
recount how CAIR ran out of money before it could crack Savage's most loyal sponsors.
The book also includes new
revelations about CAIR's role in the "flying
imams" case in 2006 in which six Muslim leaders were removed from an
airline flight in
"Muslim Mafia" also exposes CAIR's secret agenda
to criminalize anti-terror profiling by police and private entities.

a decade as a special agent in the U.S. Air Force's elite Office of Special
Investigations. He held the

One FBI official quoted in "Muslim Mafia" says CAIR and the other Muslim
Brotherhood front groups differ from al-Qaida in that, while all share the same
goals, they use different methods to achieve them.
"The only difference
between the guys in the suits and the guys with the AK-47s is timing and
tactics," the official explained.
