Yesterday Andrew McCarthy<\/a> posted an article at National Review<\/a> about President Obama’s<\/a> \u201csummit\u201d on \u201cCountering Violent Extremism.\u201d\u00a0 Mr. McCarthy pointed out that one of the attendees at the summit was Salam al-Marayati, leader of the Muslim Public Affairs Council<\/a> (MPAC).<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at the history of Salam al-Marayati. Andrew McCarthy\u00a0 explains:<\/p>\n

Marayati and MPAC figured in my 2010 book on the Muslim Brotherhood<\/a>\u2019s U.S. operations \u2013 The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America<\/a> (\u201cgrand jihad\u201d and \u201csabotage\u201d are lifted verbatim from an internal Brotherhood memo that describes the Islamists\u2019 objective to infiltrate and destroy our country). And three years ago, I profiled Marayati and MPAC in this NRO column. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0There is a reason why Obama\u2019s summit is striking all the wrong chords with the public: strangely sympathetic to Islamist sensibilities and grievances at the very time when rampaging jihadists, while quoting Islamic<\/a> scripture, are barbarically slaughtering their enemies and conducting a pogrom against Christians (there being no Jews left to mass-murder in Syria, Iraq and Libya). <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0The reason is that the summit serves exactly the same purpose as is served by MPAC and Marayati: It is the nexus between Islamists and Leftists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We need to remember that President Obama’s only real leadership experience has been as a community organizer. His job was to cause people to recognize grievances (real or otherwise) and address them. This is the perspective he brings to the war on terror.<\/p>\n

The article explains how that works:<\/p>\n

\u00a0For the Left, radical Islamic<\/a> terrorism cannot be called \u201cradical Islamic terrorism\u201d; it must be called \u201cviolent extremism,\u201d to avoid offending the Left\u2019s Islamist allies. Still, while the labeling of terrorism may be problematic, the fact of terrorism is an opportunity \u2013 a crisis that, like all crises, can be used to advance the \u201csocial justice\u201d agenda. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Just have a look at President Obama\u2019s op-ed in the Los Angeles Times<\/a> this week. ISIS and al-Qaeda are on the march, so what does the president suppose this is the occasion for? \u201cOur focus [in the \u201csummit on countering violent extremism\u201d] will be on empowering local communities.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Note to President Obama–the local communities are empowered–they are cutting people’s heads off.<\/p>\n

Please read the entire article at the National Review. It explains how radical Islam has infiltrated American<\/a> politics and intends on undermining our freedom and security. The President’s \u201csummit\u201d on \u201cCountering Violent Extremism” was not only not helpful, it was part of the problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
