Obama appoints man with Islamist terror ties to official position
FREE Catholic Classes
President Obama has chosen the grandson of a known terrorist suspect to serve as liaison to the Muslim American community. Zaki Barzinji, 27, will serve the White House as the new associate director of public engagement. He was also the president of the Muslim Youth of North America, a wing of the Islamic Society of North America, which is a Muslim Brotherhood entity.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - Obama has appointed a man with questionable ties to serve as associate director of public engagement and as his link to the Muslim community in the U.S. The man, Zaki Barzinji, 27, previously worked as president of a Muslim Brotherhood youth group, the Islamic Society of North America.
The Muslim Brotherhood has been designated as a terrorist organization by Congress due to its links to Hamas, and Barzinji's grandfather, Jamal Barzinji, was a prolific founder of several pro-Muslim Brotherhood front organizations across the U.S. until his death last year.
Obama has appointed a man who has suspect ties to known terrorist front groups. Can it get any more ridiculous than this? The Islamist terrorists intend to disrupt the American ways of freedom and life, in order to spread their view of their religion.
That Obama would appoint a man with ties to terrorism reveals that he either did not vet the young Barzinji, or he does not care and the connection is intentional. We have already explored the possibility that Obama is a Muslim, and it is widely believed throughout the Islamic world that Obama is a Muslim for various reasons. Obama does know several Muslim prayers, which he is proud of.
So is Obama stacking the deck with militant Muslims? It's certainly possible. Unfortunately, most Americans are uninformed or unconcerned so there will be little discussion and little knowledge of the problem.
