The Hill is abuzz, swamped in a flurry of emails alleging that self-proclaimed moderate American Muslim groups are engaged in a furious campaign to intimidate those who speak out about the threat posed by Islamism and the spread of Shari’a, Islamic law.
The newest apparent victim, WMAL talker [and former Congressman, R, Iowa] Fred Grandy, who according, to the station simply resigned his position, “Fred Grandy has informed WMAL of his intention to resign from the station and its morning program...” [source, http://www.wmal.com/Article.asp?id=2124417]
WMAL is part of Citadel Broadcasting Company and MediaSpan/MediaSpan Network.
Contradicting WMAL’s explanation for Grandy’s exit are published reports that Grandy was fired because of his outspokenness regarding Islamic radicalism here in the U.S. Fred’s wife, known on the program as Mrs. Fred, typically devoted Grandy’s Friday show to exposing the Islamists operating within our borders.

Below, a snippet from one of these Congressional emails, providing the tenor and level of concern.
As we have noted repeatedly on these pages, America’s Islamist groups are quaking over the prospect of being outed by the King hearings and the related investigations which will surely follow.
Their sentiments are entirely understandable, they have much to fear.
Seemingly operating as lackeys for the Islamists, prominent Democrats are officially attacking the King hearings before they even start, in an effort to shut them down.
Below from California Congressman, Fortney Pete Stark:
From: The Honorable Fortney Pete Stark

Dear Colleague:
Next week, Chairman Peter King and the Homeland Security Committee will begin a series of troubling hearings that single out Muslim Americans as the source of “homegrown terrorism” and focus exclusively on the radicalization of Muslim Americans... We urge you to join us in sending the attached letter to Chairman King asking that he reconsider holding these profoundly unfair hearings.”
Another participant in this campaign is Congressman Jim McDermott who authored the following:
From: The Honorable Jim McDermott
Sent By: jessica.lee@mail.house.gov
Date: 3/1/2011
Dear Colleague:
I invite you to attend a briefing titled “National Security and Human Rights Messaging: Muslim Americans and Law Enforcement Partnerships” on March 10, 2011 at 11:00am-12:30pm in location TBD. This briefing is hosted by Progressive Congress and the Muslim Public Affairs Council.”
Emerson’s Investigative Project on Terrorism did an exhaustive examination of MPAC, which is available in .pdf format here IPT Investigation, MPAC
So unserious is this, McDermott announced “briefing,” that one of the presenters is “Joel Silberman (confirmed), Media Trainer and Strategist at Kos Media, LLC.”
KOS Media? Are some members of Congress this deranged? The Daily KOS briefing Congress?
From Wiki, “Daily Kos was founded by Markos Moulitsas...its parent company, Kos Media, LLC, began a fellowship program to help fund a new generation of progressive activists.” [source, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Kos]
Let’s be clear, the game here is simple, the hard-left, operating in an unholy alliance with the American Islamists are seeking nothing short of suppressing criticism of Islam, in any form, in any manner.
As many are increasingly becoming aware, criticism of or “insulting” Islam is a very serious offense in Shari’a. This entire operation of character assassination, designed to kill the King hearings is therefore nothing short of an official effort to enforce Shari’a, Islamic law within the halls of the American Congress!
This is an extraordinarily serious matter, an outrage and we will be following its progress as the King hearings approach.
