An Open Letter To Gov. Rick Snyder Regarding His Participation In The Upcoming Islamic Society of North America Convention...

Governor Snyder,

You are slated to participate in the upcoming convention for the  Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).

The ISNA  was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator and member of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Holy Land Foundation Trial, a trial that focused on fund raising efforts by the Holy Land Foundation on behalf of Hamas to facilitate "... a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands ... so that ... God's religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions," http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printgroupProfile.asp?grpid=6181. 

Another unindicted co-conspirator named in the trial, Jamal Badawi, is also slated to speak at the upcoming convention convention. 

The Holy Land Foundation was shut down by the government as a result of that trial.

In addition, another speaker for the convention, Siraj Wahhaj, was named in the trial for his involvement in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

Governor, let me be direct: what business does the governor of the State of Michigan have involving himself, and by extension, ALL of the citizens of Michigan whom you were elected to represent AND DEFEND, in a convention where the primary actors have been directly connected to terrorism and the funding of terrorist organizations?

Let me also be direct in my response to that question:  YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS PARTICIPATING IN THAT CONVENTION.

The stated goal of Hamas, ISIS, and other islamic terrorist organization is clear - to destroy the United States and Israel.  As Governor of Michigan, as required by the Constitution of Michigan, you took the following Oath of Office:

 "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the constitution of this state, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of Governor according to the best of my ability."

Explain to us, sir, how participation in a convention with those who have sworn to strive for our destruction is defending the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Michigan.  I submit that there is no acceptable explanation.  Your participation, in fact, constitutes a violation of that oath of office.

I am writing to urge you to remove yourself from participation.  

Sincerely,

al Qaeda The JV? Tell Us Again, Mr. President….

With al Qaeda troops re-taking cities in Iraq and intending to march on Baghdad (al Qaeda pushing towards Baghdad), tell us again, Mr. President, how they are the JV and can be written off without a second thought (Obama-they're the JV).

And while we're at it, tell us again how the release of five taliban leaders represents no threat to us when the guy spearheading the drive to Baghdad was also caught by American troops, a prisoner for two years, and then ordered released by your administration.  All credible intelligence experts believe he will turn Iraq into the next Afghani safe haven for terrorists - and the US will be at the top of his hit list.

Let's face it, Mr. President, your foreign policy has come apart at the seams, your attempts to prove that islam is our friend has been disproved so many times that only someone with a distinct agenda could still believe it, and you have set up our country to lose more citizen lives at the hands of these madmen and their supporters than any president who preceded you - and that includes Jimmy Carter, who single handedly set the stage for the whole islamic revolution by throwing the Shah of Iran under the bus under the misguided notion that the ayatollah Khomeini was a "holy man" with whom he could work (Islamic revolution a Jimmy Carter legacy).  You have effectively re-energized the islamic revolution, and they are coming back with a ferocity that will be unparalleled in recent history.

By all objective standards, your foreign policy is an abject failure - but then, it's just one of several now, isn't it?
