Gaffney recently told a House international relations subcommittee that funding from radical sources in Saudi Arabia has helped to set up an "apparatus" that "has a substantial organizational footprint all across the United States."
Gaffney, now president and CEO of the Center for Security Policy, said Sept. 7 that U.S. government officials unwittingly bolster this apparatus by extending legitimacy to organizations that feign moderation.
Specifically, Gaffney named the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the Muslim Students Association (MSA) in his testimony. He expressed concern over the connection these organizations either have had, or continue to have, with the Muslim World League (MWL), which is directed from Saudi Arabia.
"In my view, such organizations do not represent the majority of this country's Muslims or Arabs," Gaffney said. "It is a strategic mistake of the first order to legitimate their bid to do so by having senior U.S. government officials meet with and seek the counsel of their representatives, allowing such groups to shape -- let alone dictate -- policy or entrust them to such tasks as 'Muslim sensitivity training' for the FBI, military or other agencies."
Recently the government allowed representatives from CAIR to tour airport security centers. Unreal.
