The Muslim Brotherhood identifies many front groups in their own internal documents, documents which were entered into evidence by federal prosecutors in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism trial. A simple Google search of “Muslim Brotherhood United States” also easily proves Khan’s assertion to be false. Numerous groups working in the United States, in various capacities, have been provably linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. To note but one prominent example, the Council on American Islamic Relations, CAIR, has been identified by the FBI as a group connected with the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hamas. Hamas itself is the Palestinian affiliate for the Muslim Brotherhood.
Yes, there are conservatives out there who don't get it.
David Horowitz confronts Suhail Khan and Grover Norquist at CPAC
In his keynote speech, David Horowitz confronted Suhail Khan and Grover Norquist. Khan and Norquist are both board members of the American Conservative Union (look at the podium in the picture to understand the significance). He accuses Khan of being an Islamist who supports groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and al-Qaeda, and of supporting terrorist fundraiser Sami al-Aryan. He accuses Norquist of getting access to the White House for Khan and of putting Khan on the ACU board. That all starts around the 7:00 mark, and must be watched (especially by those in Israel and elsewhere who have less familiarity with Muslim groups in America, which support Hamas and al-Qaeda) in order to understand the extent to which the Islamists have infiltrated all corners of American society. It's also curious how Horowitz talks about his parents toward the end. I had no idea about that.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
