EXPLOSIVE New Discovery Reveals Grover Norquist On

Path To Becoming Muslim Double Agent During Reagan
Administration And Has Helped Dirty Up Some Powerful
People Along The Way
by Ben Barrack on February 10, 2015 in Featured, General, IkhwanLeaks

The already alarming connections of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR)

President Grover Norquist to Islamic terrorism have both come into sharper
focus and gotten even more alarming. In an expose by Lee Stranahan, its
revealed that being married to a Palestinian Muslim wife isnt Norquists only
connection to Islam through his family. In fact, the other connection appears to
have come years earlier and may be far more consequential to American
history (more on that at end of post).

Norquist reportedly married his wife Samah Alrayyes in 2004. However, 1998
is a key year when digging into his nefarious dealings. The timing of those two
events could suggest that Norquist was running in Islamic activist circles years
before he met his wife. He founded the Islamic Institute with a man named
Khaled Saffuri in 1998. In the year of ATRs founding in 1985, Norquists sister
Loraine graduated with an MBA from Harvard. Sometime thereafter, she
married a Muslim man named Majed Tomeh, who also received a Harvard
MBA. This provides us with a window in time (1985-1998) when something
happened that would prompt Grover to partner with Saffuri.

What Stranahan has discovered is that Saffuri wasnt the only Islamic Institute
co-founder; Norquists brother-in-law Tomeh was too:

Why has Majed Tomeh never been mentioned by Grover Norquist as a cofounder of the Islamic Institute?
Thats a question that becomes much more interesting when you learn
that Majed Tomeh is also Grover Norquists brother-in-law, who was
married to Norquists sister years prior to the founding the Islamic
Institute in 1998. That means the unrevealed connection between Norquist
and Palestinian Anti-Israel activism goes much deeper than anyone had
suspected.
Stranahan also links to a 1999 petition signed by Tomeh that expressed a
Hamas-friendly position against the Palestinian Authority and then in 2009,
Tomeh was a signatory to another letter that supported the position of Hamas
leader Ismail Haniyeh.
As Shoebat.com has reported, Saffuri was once the deputy of a man named
Abdurahman Alamoudi, who founded the Boston Mosque attended by the
Boston Marathon bombers and was arrested on terrorism charges in 2003.
One year later, Alamoudi was sentenced to more than 20 years. In 1999,
Alamoudi cut two $10,000 checks to the Islamic Institute founded by Norquist,
Saffuri and Tomeh:

Two months after the Boston Marathon bombing, FBI Director Robert Mueller,
who began his tenure one week prior to the 9/11 attacks, was asked by Rep.
Louie Gohmert (R-TX) at a House Judiciary Committee hearing if he knew
that Alamoudi founded the mosque in question. More shocking than
Alamoudis connection to that mosque was the response of Mueller on
whose watch Alamoudi was convicted to that question:
Speaking of mosques, perhaps the most notorious one in the United States is
Dar al-Hijrah, located in Falls Church, VA. At the time of the Islamic Institutes
founding, a man named Bassam Estwani was the Chairman of that mosque.
As Shoebat.com has reported, Estwani was once a very powerful mover and
shaker within American politics, dating back to as far as 1995 when he began
visiting the White House. Less than one year prior to the 9/11 attacks,
Estwanis Congressman, Rep. Thomas M. Davis (R-VA) was able to get him a
gig on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, delivering a prayer:

In a photo taken around the time of the Islamic Institutes founding, Estwani
can be seen with none other than Saffuri, Alamoudi and U.S. Congressman
Jim Moran (D-VA). Norquists sister had been married to Tomeh for years by
then.
Note: If anyone can identify the man in the front row, on the far left who is
standing in front of Alamoudi, please leave a comment below:

At the time of the 9/11 attacks, none other than Anwar al-Awlaki inspiration
for Fort Hood jihadist Nidal Malik Hasan was the Imam at Dar al-Hijrah;
three of the 9/11 hijackers visited the mosque. This actually prompted the FBI
to track al-Awlaki afterward, as Shoebat.com reported. Unfortunately, Estwani
was not only ignored; he continued to rub elbows with powerful politicians for
years.

As Bush was meeting with the likes of Saffuri and Alamoudi in the Texas
Governors Mansion, Estwani was meeting with Bill Clinton in the Oval Office:

Another key figure in all this is a man named Suhail Khan, who was a George
W. Bush administration adviser. It was Norquist who lobbied hard on behalf of
Khan getting that job. Khans father was an early founder of Muslim
Brotherhood front groups in the U.S. According to an article written in the
weeks after 9/11, it was Norquist and Saffuri who brokered a meeting between
Muslim leaders and Rep. Tom Davis (Estwanis congressman). After that
meeting, Saffuris trips to the White House became a regular occurrence.
Khan once served on the Islamic Institutes Board.

As Shoebat.com has reported, there was no figure more significant than

Norquist when it came to bringing the George W. Bush White House and the
leaders of Muslim Brotherhood front groups together both before and AFTER
9/11. When Bush was still in the Texas Governors mansion, he welcomed a
Muslim delegation that included Saffuri and Alamoudi. Close Bush advisor
Karl Rove was seen carrying a book penned by an author with deep
connections to the Brotherhood (again, if anyone can identify others in the
photo, please leave comment):

In June of 2001, Alamoudi presented Khan with an award. While introducing

Khan, Alamoudi proclaimed Allahu Akbar after mentioning that Khan had

been in the White House earlier that day and one day might be Vice
President, Inshallah (Allah willing):

Its clear that after Bush was elected president, the practice of Rove giving
Norquist and his Muslim buddies access to the Presidents mansion (White
House) continued. Unbeknownst to most, an article written by the New
Republics Franklin Foer two months after 9/11 would serve as the
quintessential journalistic time bomb. Here are two very relevant paragraphs:
On the afternoon of September 26, George W. Bush gathered 15 prominent
Muslim- and Arab-Americans at the White House. With cameras rolling,
the president proclaimed that the teachings of Islam are teachings of peace
and good. It was a critically important moment, a statement to the world that
Americas Muslim leaders unambiguously reject the terror committed in
Islams name.
To the presidents left sat Dr. Yahya Basha, president of the American Muslim
Council, an organization whose leaders have repeatedly called Hamas
freedom fighters. Also in attendance was Salam Al-Marayati, executive
director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, who on the afternoon of
September 11 told a Los Angeles public radio audience that we should put
the State of Israel on the suspect list. And sitting right next to President Bush
was Muzammil Siddiqi,president of the Islamic Society of North America,
who last fall told a Washington crowd chanting pro-Hezbollah slogans,
America has to learn if you remain on the side of injustice, the wrath of God
will come. Days later, after a conservative activist confronted Karl Rove
with dossiers about some of Bushs new friends, Rove replied,
according to the activist, I wish I had known before the event took
place.
Rove didnt know? Norquists access to the White House should have been
terminated; it was not. That fact demonstrates Rove absolutely did know.

Rove: Ignorant.

If youre still not convinced, consider news relayed by Shoebat.com in 2013

that Norquists ATR received more money from Roves SuperPAC than
anyone else did:
Tax documents from Karl Roves Crossroads GPS show that Grover
Norquists Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) is largely funded by
Rove, ProPublicas Kim Barker reports
On its 2012 tax return, Barker reported, the biggest grant Roves
Crossroads GPS gave to anybody was a $26.4 million grant it gave to
Norquists ATR for social welfare.
In Foers article, one of the Muslim leaders Norquist helped inside the Oval
Office on September 26, 2001 was a man named Dr. Yahya Basha. Basha is
listed with wait for it Bassam Estwani on the Board of Directors of the
Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF), a group with connections to the Muslim
Brotherhood and that seeks to aid in the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad in
Syria.
When Elizabeth OBagy, the Political Director for SETF was caught hiding
a significant conflict of interest after Senator John McCain cited her Wall
Street Journal article in a Senate Committee hearing in an effort to push the
shared agenda of regime change in Syria, the SETF website began the
process of digital document shredding. OBagy, however, landed safely in
the arms of McCain as a legislative assistant, as Shoebat.com reported.

Elizabeth OBagy

In the wake of McCains endorsement of OBagy in a Senate hearing, Fox

News Channels Neil Cavuto interviewed OBagy before she was
jettisoned by the SETF; it didnt go well for McCains future employee:
Shoebat.com also pointed out that it was Karl Rove who signed on to a letter
addressed to Barack Obama at about the same time, urging the President to
launch a bombing campaign against Assad.
Thanks to Stranahans find, Norquists connections to Islam are traced back
further than they have been before with the discovery of his connection to
Tomeh, which dates back to circa 1985. As such, Norquist helped to dirty up
both the Clinton and Bush administrations. Alamoudi worked for the U.S.
State Department in varying capacities from 1992-2001. Its true that the bulk
of that time was during the Clinton administration but George H.W. Bush was
President in 1992 and his son George W. in 2001.
An interesting question to ponder: Did any of these relationships play a role in
the Bush administrations decision to pressure Israel to pull out of Gaza and
hand control over to Hamas?
As if all that wasnt bad enough, it all leads us to conclude that Norquist has
been a key player in a 30-year Muslim Brotherhood plan in America that
commenced in 1990, as Shoebat.com first revealed.
Those who refuse to come clean are as well.
