Khaled Saffuri (left arrow) and CAIR Exec Director Nihad Awad (right arrow) with George W. Bush on 9/17/01
Norquist reportedly married his wife Samah Alrayyes in 2004. However, 1998
is a key year when digging into his nefarious dealings. The timing of those two
events could suggest that Norquist was running in Islamic activist circles years
before he met his wife. He founded the Islamic Institute with a man named
Khaled Saffuri in 1998. In the year of ATRs founding in 1985, Norquists sister
Loraine graduated with an MBA from Harvard. Sometime thereafter, she
married a Muslim man named Majed Tomeh, who also received a Harvard
MBA. This provides us with a window in time (1985-1998) when something
happened that would prompt Grover to partner with Saffuri.
What Stranahan has discovered is that Saffuri wasnt the only Islamic Institute
co-founder; Norquists brother-in-law Tomeh was too:
Why has Majed Tomeh never been mentioned by Grover Norquist as a cofounder of the Islamic Institute?
Thats a question that becomes much more interesting when you learn
that Majed Tomeh is also Grover Norquists brother-in-law, who was
married to Norquists sister years prior to the founding the Islamic
Institute in 1998. That means the unrevealed connection between Norquist
and Palestinian Anti-Israel activism goes much deeper than anyone had
suspected.
Stranahan also links to a 1999 petition signed by Tomeh that expressed a
Hamas-friendly position against the Palestinian Authority and then in 2009,
Tomeh was a signatory to another letter that supported the position of Hamas
leader Ismail Haniyeh.
As Shoebat.com has reported, Saffuri was once the deputy of a man named
Abdurahman Alamoudi, who founded the Boston Mosque attended by the
Boston Marathon bombers and was arrested on terrorism charges in 2003.
One year later, Alamoudi was sentenced to more than 20 years. In 1999,
Alamoudi cut two $10,000 checks to the Islamic Institute founded by Norquist,
Saffuri and Tomeh:
Two months after the Boston Marathon bombing, FBI Director Robert Mueller,
who began his tenure one week prior to the 9/11 attacks, was asked by Rep.
Louie Gohmert (R-TX) at a House Judiciary Committee hearing if he knew
that Alamoudi founded the mosque in question. More shocking than
Alamoudis connection to that mosque was the response of Mueller on
whose watch Alamoudi was convicted to that question:
Speaking of mosques, perhaps the most notorious one in the United States is
Dar al-Hijrah, located in Falls Church, VA. At the time of the Islamic Institutes
founding, a man named Bassam Estwani was the Chairman of that mosque.
As Shoebat.com has reported, Estwani was once a very powerful mover and
shaker within American politics, dating back to as far as 1995 when he began
visiting the White House. Less than one year prior to the 9/11 attacks,
Estwanis Congressman, Rep. Thomas M. Davis (R-VA) was able to get him a
gig on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, delivering a prayer:

In a photo taken around the time of the Islamic Institutes founding, Estwani
can be seen with none other than Saffuri, Alamoudi and U.S. Congressman
Jim Moran (D-VA). Norquists sister had been married to Tomeh for years by
then.
Note: If anyone can identify the man in the front row, on the far left who is
standing in front of Alamoudi, please leave a comment below:

At the time of the 9/11 attacks, none other than Anwar al-Awlaki inspiration
for Fort Hood jihadist Nidal Malik Hasan was the Imam at Dar al-Hijrah;
three of the 9/11 hijackers visited the mosque. This actually prompted the FBI
to track al-Awlaki afterward, as Shoebat.com reported. Unfortunately, Estwani
was not only ignored; he continued to rub elbows with powerful politicians for
years.

As Bush was meeting with the likes of Saffuri and Alamoudi in the Texas
Governors Mansion, Estwani was meeting with Bill Clinton in the Oval Office:
Another key figure in all this is a man named Suhail Khan, who was a George
W. Bush administration adviser. It was Norquist who lobbied hard on behalf of
Khan getting that job. Khans father was an early founder of Muslim
Brotherhood front groups in the U.S. According to an article written in the
weeks after 9/11, it was Norquist and Saffuri who brokered a meeting between
Muslim leaders and Rep. Tom Davis (Estwanis congressman). After that
meeting, Saffuris trips to the White House became a regular occurrence.
Khan once served on the Islamic Institutes Board.

Its clear that after Bush was elected president, the practice of Rove giving
Norquist and his Muslim buddies access to the Presidents mansion (White
House) continued. Unbeknownst to most, an article written by the New
Republics Franklin Foer two months after 9/11 would serve as the
quintessential journalistic time bomb. Here are two very relevant paragraphs:
On the afternoon of September 26, George W. Bush gathered 15 prominent
Muslim- and Arab-Americans at the White House. With cameras rolling,
the president proclaimed that the teachings of Islam are teachings of peace
and good. It was a critically important moment, a statement to the world that
Americas Muslim leaders unambiguously reject the terror committed in
Islams name.
To the presidents left sat Dr. Yahya Basha, president of the American Muslim
Council, an organization whose leaders have repeatedly called Hamas
freedom fighters. Also in attendance was Salam Al-Marayati, executive
director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, who on the afternoon of
September 11 told a Los Angeles public radio audience that we should put
the State of Israel on the suspect list. And sitting right next to President Bush
was Muzammil Siddiqi,president of the Islamic Society of North America,
who last fall told a Washington crowd chanting pro-Hezbollah slogans,
America has to learn if you remain on the side of injustice, the wrath of God
will come. Days later, after a conservative activist confronted Karl Rove
with dossiers about some of Bushs new friends, Rove replied,
according to the activist, I wish I had known before the event took
place.
Rove didnt know? Norquists access to the White House should have been
terminated; it was not. That fact demonstrates Rove absolutely did know.
Rove: Ignorant.
