On Friday, CNN.com ran a news item that essentially reiterated the contents of a press release issued earlier in the week by a coalition calling itself the American Muslim Taskforce.
The American Muslim Taskforce would be more accurately described as the Muslim Brotherhood since many of the ten 10 signatories– ranging from the parent organization of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) to the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) to the Muslim Students Association to the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA)– have been identified in an internal Muslim Brotherhood strategy memo as "our organizations and the organizations of our friends."
Exhibit One: The U.S. government has identified CAIR as one of the "individuals/entities who are and/or were members of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee and/or its organizations."
The memo, which was introduced into evidence by the federal government in last year’s successful prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation on terrorism financing charges, also describes the Muslim Brotherhood’s mission in America as one of "destroying Western civilization from within." We should, accordingly, be very wary of the pronouncements of folks like those comprising the American Muslim Taskforce.
