Administration Finally Releases List




The most “transparent” administration in U.S. history finally released the names of the American Muslim Leaders who met with the President on Wednesday. The number on the list was initially reported by one of the attendees as 15; however, the White House’s list is comprised of 14 people. A representative from the White House reported that the number on the list had always been 14.


All number wrangling aside, here is the list of attendees:

1. Bilqis “Qisi” Abdul-Qaadir, Director of Women’s Basketball Operations, Indiana State University

2.Arshia Wajid, Founder, American Muslim Health Professionals

3.Dean Obeidallah, Comedian, Dean of Comedy

4.Kameelah Rashad, Founder of Muslim Wellness Foundation and Muslim Chaplain of University of Pennsylvania

5.Diego Arancibia, Board Member and Associate Director, Ta’leef Collective

6.Farhan Latif, Chief Operating Officer and Director of Policy Impact, Institute of Policy and Understanding

7.Sherman Jackson, Professor of Religion and American Studies and Ethnicity, University of Southern California

8.Azhar Azeez, President, Islamic Society of North America

9.Farhana Khera, President, Muslim Advocates

10.Rahat Hussain, President, Universal Muslim Association of America

11.Hoda Hawa, National Policy Advisor, Muslim Public Affairs Council

12.Maya Berry, Executive Director, Arab American Institute

13.Imam Mohamed Magid, ADAMS Center

14.Haroon Mokhtarzada, CEO, Webs


Why did it take many requests and much resistance from the Obama Administration before the list of Muslim leaders was released? Why was it released so quietly – and on a Friday? And if there were 15 American Muslim Leaders in attendance at the President’s event, who was the fifteenth?

This is typical of this administration’s “transparency.”

Why Can't We Prosecute?




The administration has lied to us about keeping our own doctors and health plan. They have lied to us on the success of Obamacare enrollment and engaged in deceptive number crunching to convince us that people are actually signing up for it. The administration via the IRS targeted conservative and Jewish groups prior to the 2012 election. They supposedly investigated the allegations and – yet – have decided that there was no criminal action to prosecute. So now conservatives are pressing for an investigation of the investigators.

Then comes the cluster-scandal of Benghazi. The President sent out Susan Rice to dupe us into believing that the violence at the embassy on September 11, 2012 was a “spontaneous” demonstration resulting from a “despicable” film denigrating Islam. President Obama’s staff still has not informed us of what he was doing on the night of the Benghazi attack. Hillary Clinton “disappears” and isn’t even interviewed in the original Benghazi investigation. When she is finally interviewed, she blasts us with her famous “What difference does it make,” diatribe. State Department workers were supposedly disciplined when – in reality – they were just shifted into different job positions at the State Department. It took the Administration over a year to name Ansar al Shawari a terrorist group. It took over a year to learn “officially” that several al Qaeda linked groups were involved in the Benghazi attack.

It goes on and on and on – the never-ending list of bullying, obfuscating, lying, shifting blame and ducking -- with zero consequences attached. What about Solyndra and Lisa Jackson and Fast-and-Furious and voter intimidation by the New Black Panthers? What about Biden’s bullying of the press and the IRS and Obama’s abuse of executive power and the $2 million payment to David Axelrod for work performed in his alternate universe? Why were government employees in Benghazi demoted and harassed for telling the truth about what happened? What is going to happen with Iraq and Afghanistan? Did our brave soldiers die in vain? Why can't we hear from the Benghazi survivors?

Why can’t we prosecute this administration?
