Paul Sperry, author the the book “Infiltration” about Islamist networks burrowing into our government and political institutions, has produced this FrontPageMagazine dossier about the infamous red-haired king of K Street Lobbyists, Grover Norquist. Norquist has been revered among Republican Conservatives for his leadership of lobbyists in pushing the Bush tax reforms through the Congress early in his first term. Norquest was in demand for his Wednesday policy wonk seminars on ‘how to do it’. He could scoot over to the Oval office for sessions with former White House aide, Karl Rove about reaching out to Muslims. Norquist was tainted by association, but, never considered a person of interest by federal prosecutors in the shabby Jack Abramoff lobbying affair. A Washington scandal that saw Abramoff - a Young American for Freedom President promoted by Norquist in their respective college days-Abramoff at Brandeis University and Norquist at Harvard- back in the 1970’s. Norquist ‘married’ a Palestinian Muslim woman and State Department USAID PR person in a showy ecumenical event in April, 2005. Norquist had an alliance with convicted Islamist terrorist fund launderer, Abdurahman Alamoudi, convicted for a term of 23 years for his financial acts and serving his term in a federal prison. Almoudi bankrolled the formation of the Islamic Institute of Free Enterprise that was co-chaired with Norquist. Then there was the penetration of the American Conservative Union by a Muslim protege of Norquist, Suhail Kahn. The alleged ‘Islamization’ of the ACU was orchestrated by Norquist and David Keene, after the former’s ascent to the Board of the ACU. Sperry in this FrontPageMagazine discusses Norquists attempts to insinuate in the political process in the Commonwealth of Virginia, two Muslims. Kamal Narwash, whom we have posted on, and Faisal Muhammad Gill. Note that both have lost in State elections in Virginia, that Sperry cites:

Last November, his crony Faisal M. Gill lost a bid for a seat in the Virginia state legislature. Now another protege, Kamal M. Nawash, has lost his third political race in seven years. Republicans in Virginia’s most affluent county last month overwhelmingly rejected Nawash as their party leader.

Gill and Nawash failed despite the ringing endorsements and behind-the-scenes maneuvering of Norquist, who founded the Islamic Institute (where he met his Palestinian wife) with the express purpose of promoting such Muslims into positions of power.

But Speery goes on to chronicle Narwash’s and Gill’s relatiionship with convicted Alamoudi, the Islamist kingmaker in DC. But Gill who had dealings with shadowy al Qaeda and Saudi interests ended up holding a p;osition at the DHS.

But read this disclosure about Gill from a DHS Inspector general report:

However, the DHS inspector general didn’t exactly exonerate him. He concluded only that he could find no evidence that Gill had “falsified” relevant information or “intentionally” omitted it.

In fact, former DHS Inspector General Clark Kent Ervin — the official whose office investigated Gill — was troubled by Gill’s ties to Alamoudi, and now questions why he was ever hired for such a sensitive post in the first place.

“Should anyone even remotely connected to terrorism be employed by Homeland Security in any capacity, especially the ultrasensitive area of intelligence and infrastructure protection?” Ervin said regarding Gill in his book, “Open Target.”

Indeed, this former lobbyist for a known al-Qaida terrorist had access to top secret U.S. intelligence involving not only border security, but cyber-security, including new data-sharing programs integrating terrorist watch lists. Actually, Gill still has access to such intelligence. His TS/SCI clearance was never revoked.

The government may want to review his clearance based on other ethical lapses that have come to light since he left the government. Gill has shown a pattern of omission and deception.
