people with much more exalted titles may see her every week or two. she's there every day, day in, day out. huma abedin, 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 mohamed morsi in egypt. sadly, folks, as we point out, next slide, in our course huma abedin 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. [ applause ] 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 louie gohmert of texas, congressman 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 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 khaled saffuri, his right-hand man and nihad 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 arranged 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, 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. kahn. it was approved by the board of the american conservative union. it is fundamentally 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. [ applause ] >> 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 caplis. 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 barack 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 caplis, you were right about barack obama, but i was right about mel gibson. [ laughter ] 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. [ applause ] 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 refuses 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 ] [ cheers and 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 not 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 we referred to miami, and i quote, look at what happened to miami. it has become a third world country. you would never know that 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 europe. they look like suburbs of cairo, of algiers, of damascus, of mecca, and as the muslim concentration population is concentrated in urban areas, many european cities have very large islamic concentrations, and the consequences are today that we are confronted with head scarves, with burqas, with polygamy, with female genital mutilation, with honor killings every day again and again. and during the last three decades europe made a fatal mistake. it allowed millions of people

from islamic countries to immigrate to our continent, and so many people rooted in a culture that this entirely different from our own judeo-christian culture have entered europe, that our heritage, that our freedom, that our prosperity and that our culture is in danger. and perhaps many americans still believe that europe is the place they know from a tourist trip long ago or from their grandparents' stories. i have to disappoint you. this europe, this europe is on the verge of disappearing. in each one of our cities both an italian author shortly before
