Illinois Governor Appoints Muslim Brotherhood Leader

Illinois Governor and Rod Blagojevich successor, Pat Quinn (D) has appointed the Secretary-General for the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) to an official advisory council. Again, ISNA is a member organization of a group whose charter consists of a mandate to bring down America from within by... gaining positions of political power and influence. It also was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) trial, the largest terrorism financing trial in US history. It should be no surprise then, that Saafa Zarzour does indeed have extensive ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Via GMBDR:

Mr. Zazour is a board member and President of the Chicago chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR.) Investigative research posted on GMBDR has determined that CAIR had it origins in the U.S. Hamas infrastructure and documents released in the Holy Land Trial have revealed that the founders and current leaders of CAIR were part of the Palestine Committee of the Muslim Brotherhood as well as identifying the organization itself as being another part of the U.S. Brotherhood. A recent post discussed an interview with the Deputy leader of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in which he confirms a relationship between his organization and CAIR.

CAIR was another unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF trial.

In a press release, all the members appointed to the council are listed. Interestingly, one of them is Ahmed Rehab of CAIR. In 2008, while appearing on the O'Reilly Factor, Rehab expressed solidarity with imam Jamal Said in Chicago. Said was a close friend of Osama bin Laden's mentor, Abdullah Azzam.
