The meeting was scheduled well in advance. At that gathering, Bush was to pledge that he would seek the repeal of a law that…
As the country sat in shock over the morning's al Qaeda attacks and terrible loss of life, with recovery teams seeking any trace of survivors, and with the White House on lockdown, White House staffers Tim Goeglein and Suhail Khan held an impromptu substitute meeting by moving it a few blocks away to Grover Norquist's conference room.
My organization, the Center for Security Policy, sublet space from Grover's organization at the time. Along with others, I observed and walked through the large assembly of Muslim Brotherhood figures and co-optees. I heard part of the proceedings of the meeting by listening in through the suspended ceiling tiles, as my office abutted the conference room.
I was called a liar for exposing this at the time, with Norquist going around town saying that we were racists and bigots - a theme that resonated through the GWB White House.
It was the Muslim Brotherhood line, designed to kill reasoned debate about jihad and Brotherhood penetration of our institutions.
Of course, social pressure was strong not to say “jihad” because it was so insensitive and ignorant to say.
One can blame the Clintons or Obama, but the fact remains that Clinton refused to seek repeal of that anti-terrorist law, which is why the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies went for Dubya in the 2000 election.
This is where the mainstreaming of the Muslim Brotherhood and its fronts into American society truly began. 25 years ago today.
Norquist credited the Tampa Bay Islamic Center - run by Sami Al-Arian of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad - for supposedly turning out the votes that helped Bush defeat Al Gore in Florida that year. Al-Arian, whom we saw enter Norquist's office at one point, was later tried and convicted of terrorism-related charges, served some prison time, and was deported.
