Congress Critters Meet With The Muslim Brotherhood

Looks like Nancy Pelosi has some company:

Nick Rahall (D-WV) meet with Egyptian Lawmakers including the head of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood’s parliamentary bloc, at the Egyptian Parliament in Cairo, Egypt, Sunday, May 27, 2007.

Egypt criticized a meeting Sunday that included four US members of Congress and the head of the Muslim Brotherhood’s bloc in Parliament, accusing the US of having double standards for meeting with the banned Egyptian group but refusing to meet with the militant Palestinian group Hamas.

The congressional delegation, headed by North Carolina Democrat David Price, held talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak early Sunday before heading to Parliament to meet a group of lawmakers that included the Brotherhood’s Mohammed Saad el-Katatni.

The delegation also included Reps. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb.; Nick Rahall, D-W.Va.; and Gwen Moore, D-Wis. The group is on a Middle East tour that will take them to Lebanon, Israel and the Palestinian territories, Price told reporters.

More treason from our elected leaders.  One name that pops out at me is Gwen Moore, her sons were convicted of slashing the tires of Republican cars during the 2004 election.

This site documents the Muslim Brotherhood’s vision for the Islamization of the west:

The Muslim Brotherhood, represented in the US by the Muslim American Society and other organizations, developed a strategic document in the early 1980s known as “The Project” to cast the vision of how the Islamization of the West might be accomplished.

Calling for the utilization of various tactics as part of a broad 12-point cultural strategy to “establish an Islamic government on earth”, ranging from directed immigration, infiltration of existing institutions, conducting surveillance and gathering intelligence, publishing propaganda, establishing political legitimacy and the sparing but escalating use of violence, including terrorism, The Project has served for more than two decades as the Muslim Brotherhood “master plan” for operations in the West with startling success. It should be noted that much of the material from The Project was incorporated into Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi’s best-selling book published in 1990, Priorities of the Islamic Movement in the Coming Phase.

And more telling:

“I have complete faith that Islam will invade Europe and America, because Islam has logic and a mission.”
– Muhammad Mahdi Othman ‘Akef, Muslim Brotherhood movement leader

THIS is the group our elected leaders decided to visit with.

UPDATE

Some interesting information on Nick Rahall:

But Rahall, 55, is also the most senior of five Arab American lawmakers and is an advocate for Arab countries in a Congress dominated by pro-Israel members.

In 1993, he was the lone House member to vote against a resolution calling for an end to an Arab boycott of Israel. He spent years pressing the State Department to end a ban on travel to Lebanon, where his grandfathers were born. He got his wish in 1997.

In 2001, he was one of 11 members of Congress to vote against a resolution insisting that the Palestinian Authority take steps to end a terrorist campaign — because, he said at the time, it did not also condemn attacks on Palestinians by Israelis.

He flew to Iraq in 2002 to meet with a top aide to Saddam Hussein in an effort to avert war, and voted against going to war. And he traveled to Syria to meet with President Bashar Assad in 2003, and voted against increasing sanctions based on allegations that the country was a state sponsor of terrorism.

Wonderful fella there.
