this is the strategic plan, the mission statement of the muslim brotherhood in america dated 1991 drafted by one of the top muslim akram. it defines its purpose as destroying us from within, but our hands. make no mistake about this. these are not people with whom we can safely do business let alone empower, enrich or turn over critical national security decisions and capabilities to. now, the trouble is according to this strategic plan, they operate in phases starting with a secret establishment of leadership and building out to be more and more aggressive. phase two involves penetrating

the government, and i want to just share with you some of the insights from our course, muslimbrotherhoodinamerica.com as to the success that they have had in doing that, which doesn't explain everything about what we're confronting today, but it helps explain a lot. let's start with the next slide, someone who was lit up by rush limbaugh this week. ever heard of her? homa aberdeen also known as mrs. anthony weiner is the deputy chief of staff to the secretary of state. friend of mine who is a former senior official in the state department says she's actually the closest aide in the entire state department because she's the one who travels with mrs. clinton all the time. people with much more exalted titles may see her every week or two. she's there every day, day in, day out. homa aberdeen, as rush limbaugh

pointed out, is tied in numerous ways to the muslim brotherhood. her father, her mother, her brother all have been active in islamist organizations, including her mother as a leading figure in the muslim sisterhood. rush pointed out she's close to another muslim sister, the wife, the first lady now of mohammed morsi in egypt. sadly, folks, as we point out, next slide, in our course homa aberdeen is not the only one. these are just six that we've done dossiers on. some of whom are actually working on the government payroll. others are advisers. others are being used for liaison or outreach to the muslim-american community. i encourage you to look into them and their backgrounds. if you want to know what is wrong with these pictures, what

is wrong with the obama administration's embrace, empowering, enabling of this mortal threat elsewhere and here, part of the answer, of course, lies with the president himself and his own proclivities in this department. but part of it is the fact that he's surrounded himself and put into senior positions and influencers in agencies throughout his government. we need to root them out. the first step, next slide, first step in that direction very important i believe has been taken by these five members of congress led by michele bachmann who has addressed us here before and four others. congressman louis goal earth of texas, gongman trent franks, lynn westmoreland of florida and

congressman tom rooney of florida have taken a very courageous step calling for formal investigations on the basis of our course. for the inspectors general of five departments to look into these people and the role they have playing inside the wire and the extent to which is having a subversive effect on policy. they have been asked to report back by the middle of september. i hope they will, and if they don't, we better be holding them accountable and hoping that there will be congressional inquiries made in these areas as well. next slide. [ applause ] i feel constrained to tell you very quickly that this problem is not unique to the obama administration. next slide, please. the penetration began before it came to office. it has enabled it to be as

dangerous as it is though. next slide, please. started in a serious way in the clinton administration. you know the two guys on the ends. the guy in the middle, you may not know, though he's actually a resident at the moment of this fair state. yes, folks, he's living in super max serving what was initially a 23-year federal prison sentence on terrorism charges, and this chap, the clinton administration thought fit to have create and select and train and credential chaplains for the united states military and the u.s. prison system. he's in prison. his chaplains i'm afraid are still at work which is kind of a problem. next slide. this is also kind of a problem. in 1998 that same fellow, a top

muslim brotherhood figure, an al qaeda financier, latched up with a guy most of you know and think of as a great american conservative for his work on tax issues, grover norquist. he started with him something called the islamic free market institute. i happen to have tumbled upon this because i wound up renting space from grover norquist for seven long years and witnessed firsthand what i'm about to show you in terms of the influence operation that began during that period, went at the george w. bush 2000 campaign and then the bush administration, again, setting the precedence in terms of personnel, policy and practices that are metastasizing today. next slide. another gang of six. you've already been introduced d

to abdel rahman al marudi. let me go through some photographs of the next. next slide. well, this is al marudi with governor bush and next slide. this is khalid safuri, his right-hand man and niwad awad who runs one of the most aggressive muslim brotherhood fronts c.a.r.e. in the summer of 2001. this is another convicted terrorist running at the time of this photograph in march of 2000 the palestinian-islamic jihad organization. next slide. muslim al sadiqquey, the imam presenting the president a koran in the white house shortly after 9/11. next slide. this chap.

he worked in the white house for most of 2001. he was the muslim gatekeeper and facilitated most of those photographs that you just saw there. he's currently on the board of directors of the american conservative union. the organization is bringing cpac here. past practice is any guide, he will appear here. he will maybe do as he did in washington in february lead the pledge of allegiance augarranged and orchestrated, i'm sorry to say by grover norquist for the purpose of promoting a man that i believe is if you take a look at part four of the course, musl muslimbrotherhoodinamerica.com that you'll have no illusion both by the virtue of the fact that his parents started three of the top muslim brotherhood organizations in the united states and he has been involved with them from that day to this, working on their agendas, working with their operatives and promoting, in other words,

the cause of what he calls the uma to which he has pledged his life. now, ladies and gentlemen, as a matter of personal pride if i may, before i get the cane, next slide. this is almost the end. these guys are coming here. cleta mitchell wrote a scathing memorandum attacking me for what you've just seen and exonerating grover norquist and mr. chann. it was approved by the conservative union. it is fundament amountly wrong, a blight on our movement, and i would urge all of you who heard last night the appeal to attend the meeting here to make it conditional, to call on al cardenas who i admire greatly and i think it trying to do right in that organization to clean house before they come to denver.

[ applause ] last point. next slide. why is this so important? because this man is being targeted now by this same influence operation. i think everyone in this room knows how important it is that he win. i believe his chances of winning are immensely improved if he calls barack obama out on what he's doing to enable the subversion, the destruction of this country from within, not least because i believe women in this country about whom we're hearing a lot lately, especially as there may be a gender gap working against governor romney for president obama, well, helping women in this country, democratic women, independent women, republican women understand what the mortal peril will be to them and to their families if this kind of operation succeeds in bringing sharia here which is its

explicit purpose, then i think governor romney has a far better chance of actually winning this election handsomely which is what we need. last thing -- last, last, last thing. last slide, please. i want to leave you with this thought. there are many ways in which you can help. i'd be happy to discuss them with you as i sign your book or as you take the course about why this is part ten. but last slide, please. take this away from this meeting, if nothing else. in 1961 my former boss said the following. freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. we don't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. it must be fought for, protected and handed on to our children to do the same. or we will spend our sunset

years telling our children and our children's children what it was like to live in the united states where men were free. let's not let that happen. thank you. >> frank gaffney, center for security policy. ladies and gentlemen. this is a patriot. this man is fearless. he is selfless. he is devoted. he is relentless. agree or disagree with all of the conclusions or lines of inference that he has just shared with us which are spelled out in so much more detail in his book and his online course, agree or disagree, we can only be immensely indebted to you,

frank gaffney, patriot, for raising the right questions that others fear to raise. now, a man who can testify about how it feels to live in a nation, a society, an entire continent that has slid further down into the influence of those who wish us ill based on their holy book, the koran, is our next speaker. i'm grateful that a friend of centennial institute and of last year's western conservative summit is back with us to make the introduction of our guest from the netherlands. craig silverman is known to many of us as one of colorado's most accomplished attorneys and lawyers. he has been a prosecutor. in a better world he would have been elected the district attorney of denver, and bill ritter might never have been

governor of colorado. craig silverman recently completed a stellar run of a dozen years as the microphone partner of another good friend of centennial and the summit, dan kaplis. afternoons just aren't the same without you on the radio anymore, craig, so for consolation we bring out now in person craig silverman. [ applause ] >> what a great honor it is to be here again this year and for this specific purpose. i am a denver boy, fourth generation, and i think all of you know that we lost one of denver's finest to senseless stupid gang violence last weekend. even as we speak, denver police officer selena hollis is being buried at fairmount cemetery and

some people in this city don't want to talk about the gang problem around here, but that won't make it go away. bad things do not go away if you close your eyes and shut your ears. we have to be able to talk about these things, especially about violent bullies and thugs who would hurt us and intimidate us. i was a prosecutor in this great city for 16 years, and i've had the privilege of being a lawyer for over 30 years in colorado. i treasure the rule of law, not sharia law. i was blessed to do that radio show catholics and silverman. some might wonder what happened. well, in the words of tom coburn, we got term-limited, okay? i am not a republican, but after

watching what's gone or to a while now i'm surely not a democrat anymore. [ applause ] i am not all that conservative, but i come in all hue tilt to you conservatives for confession and forgiveness. i voted for barack obama, and i can't deny it. i would, if i could, but i did it on live radio and c-span 2 was in the studio that day. i thought barak hussein obama was ideally situated to speak simple truths to the islamic world, and i would think that a lot of people in that world would understand their need for change, but he wouldn't do it. he did not do it, and he will not do it. he proved that in cairo and

hundreds of other ways since then. even though i have my severe doubts about john mccain i apologize to you. it won't happen again. [ applause ] as we had to admit my radio partner dan kaplis,ors objection were you right about barack obama, but i was right about mebson. the economy is the number one issue for most people in this upcoming election, but to me the bigger issue is national security and our very survival. i can no longer defend barack obama, especially on those most important issues. number one the safety of america. number two, i worry about the safety of the jewish state of

israel. i have the pleasure of reading a lot of books, but no book has affected me more dramatically in the last couple of decades than this book that you were all given, "marked for death." it's an amazing book. it captured my attention from first to last. geert wilders is a brave man. he refused to be intimidated. he is a profile in courage. so are a lot of people that you've had the pleasure to meet, like pam geller and the robert spencer and frank gaffney and senator john andrews, but geert wilders, his life experience is extraordinary, just like i'm a denver boy, he's a dutch boy, and now quite a man, quite a political leader, and i think he is a truth-teller.

i love freedom of speech. so does geert wilders. his book "marked for death" is all about that, and he brings a perspective that we don't have. he's from europe. he's seen what's gone on there. he knows what's going on in the middle east, and it's great that he worries about america. i'm excited to hear from geert wilders. what an honor. ladies and gentlemen. give it up for geert wilders. [ applause ] >> thank you, craig, for your most kind words. thank you, friends, ladies and gentlemen, for inviting me to

this western conservative summit. for me it's always an honor and a privilege to come to america. i was here a few weeks ago to meet with my dear friend, michele bachmann, representative of you to talk -- to talk about indeed the threat of islam, both to america and europe. and today i'm very proud to be in denver, the gateway to the west. this is, as i see it, america's heartland, conservative heartland where the spirit of your pioneers still lives. and i know -- i know that i come at a sad moment. many of you have been affected

by the enormous wildfires raging not far from here. thousands have been evacuated, and some of them are even staying, as i heard, in this hotel, and few things, ladies and gentlemen, few things are as terrible as losing your homes, and i want to express my deepest sympathy with all the people affected by this disaster, and i want to offer my condolences to the families and friends of those who have lost their lives in the fires, and i am impressed by the solidarity and the help which the people of denver extend to the victims. you live in a great and generous city. denver is also privileged to be

the home of the colorado christian university and a centennial institute with its motto faith, family and freedom. [ applause ] your motto shows that you have your priorities right. faith, family and freedom are indeed the pillars of our judeo-christian civilization and need to be defended. i feel honored to have been here invited to address you today about the situation in europe and in particularly in my own country, the netherlands, and this situation serves as a warning in what might happen to america if you fail to be vigilant. as u.s. president andrew jackson

so rightfully said, and i quote. remember, my fellow citizens, that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing, end of quote. but, first, let me start by introducing myself. i am one of the 150 members of the house of representatives in the netherlands, a small country of almost 17 million people in western europe. i am the leader of the party for freedom, and my party is the third largest of 11 parties represented in the dutch parliament. and perhaps many of you think that the life of this politician in the netherlands resembles the

life of the members of your own congress. unfortunately, that is not the case. for the past eight years i have been living under 24-hour police protection. wherever i go, plain-clothed policemen go with me. i live in a government safe house, heavily protected and bulletproof. i am driven every day again from my safe house to the dutch parliament building in armored police cars with flashing blue lights. i have no walked the streets on my own in the last eight years. when i occasionally go to a restaurant or to a movie theater, the police will have to check everything out. my wife and i have lived in

prison cells, in army barracks just to be safe from assassins. and why? why do i need this protection? i'm not a president or a king. i'm a mere parliamentarian. i have, however, been marked for death for criticizing islam. i was placed on the police protection in early november 2004 when an islamic fanatic murdered the dutch filmmaker because he had criticized islam. the filmmaker was slaughtered on broad daylight in the streets of amsterdam, and a few hours later the police found the letter written by the assassin threatening to kill me as well. what have i done, you might ask, to deserve those kind of death threats?

what i did is candidly express my view about islam. my view in a nutshell is that islam rather than a religion is predominantly a totalitarian ideology striving for world dominance. i believe that islam and freedom are incompatible. some people -- [ applause ] some people do not want to hear this message, and that is why they threaten people and to murder everyone who states this truth. and i'm not the only one who has been marked for death. you all know the british author salman rushdie or the scandinavian cartoonist who all

have been victim of assassination attempts. however, if you really love freedom, you have to speak the truth, and if not, we will all fall victim to islam. like earlier, the people in the middle east in northern africa, in persia, in india and in indonesia fell victim to it, and that is why i spoke, why i speak and why i will continue to speak whatever the consequences. i do not want europe nor america to become islamic. [ applause ] before i continue, i want to make clear that i do not have a problem with muslims.

there are many moderate muslims. i always make a distinction between the people and the ideology, between muslims and islam. there are indeed many moderate muslims, but believe me, there is no such thing as a moderate islam. there is only one islam, and that is a dangerous totalitarian ideology that is intolerant, that is violent, that should not be tolerated by us but that should be contained. and in europe, ladies and gentlemen, in europe today we are experiencing that islam become stronger, becomes stronger every day in our societies, even when a majority of the muslims are moderates. even then our societies become less free and more intolerant of

non-muslims. and former congressman tom tancredo, a native and inhabitant of this great city, whom i visited in his office in washington in late 2008. tom once said, and then rereferred to miami, and i quote, look at what happened to miami. it has become a third world country. you would never know what you were in the united states of america. you would certainly say that you're in a third world country, end of quote. and the same that my friend tom tancredo said before about miami, the same applies to europe today. certain parts of our inner cities, many of our inner cities, no longer look like euro.
