Terror-linked CAIR and most Muslim groups are foaming at the mouth over appointment of Dr. Zuhdi Jasser to U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom

New post on Bare Naked Islam Terror-linked CAIR and most Muslim groups are foaming at the mouth over appointment of Dr. Zuhdi Jasser to U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom by barenakedislam Zuhdi Jasser, who lauded a controversial New York City police surveillance program that targeted Muslims and helped lead the opposition to an Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero, has been appointed to the commission, which advises the president, Congress and State Department on religious rights abuses internationally. Zuhdi Jasser speaks during a news conference in front of NYPD police headquarters recently with dozens of activists to demonstrate their support for the NYPD and their surveillance of Muslim groups across the Northeast. WASHINGTON POST  "It would have been better to appoint someone who has some measure of credibility with Muslim Americans," said Ibrahim 'Dougie' Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations and (unindicted co-conspirator in the Holyland terrorism financing case) "He has long been viewed by American Muslims and the colleagues in the civil liberties community as a mere sock puppet for Islam haters and an enabler of Islamophobia." (Jasser is one of only a tiny handful of Muslims in America who are not afraid to tell the truth about Islam) Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., appointed Jasser and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, appointed Robert P. George, a philosophy professor at Princeton University and top adviser to the U.S. Catholic bishops. Democrats appoint five of the commission's nine members, because they are the party in the White House; the other four are appointed by Republicans. With the Jasser and George appointments, three commission spots remain vacant. Jasser, an activist and cardiologist from Phoenix, addressed the first in a series of hearings last year called by the House Homeland Security Committee to investigate the threat of homegrown terrorism. Jasser's group, the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, has called the leadership of most established U.S. Muslim groups "malignant" and accused them of preaching a form of "political Islam." Jasser won praise from conservatives for his willingness to testify about his co-religionists, but gained the ire of Muslims who said he fuels anti-Muslim prejudice.
