Mustapha Khalfi, the Moroccan Islamist who spent a year in the US including Congress criticizes the US

How surprising!
Ilan Weinglass and I have been trying to open some eyes last year about the fact that this dangerous Islamist should not have been allowed in our country and even less given a Fulbright scholarship and work in Congress.

Then in yesterday's Washington Post, Craig Whitlock interviews Khalfi and of course forgets to mention that Khalfi's party the PJD is an Islamist party very close to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Here's the excerpt:
Mustapha Khalfi, a member of Parliament from the opposition Justice and Development Party, said the government was arresting suspects, based on little evidence, to please U.S. officials. "They are pushing us to do some bad things," he said. "This conflicts with U.S. policy to strengthen democracy and to strengthen human rights."

Khalfi said the number of Moroccans joining the fight in Iraq had been exaggerated. At the same time, he added, as long as the U.S. military remains in Iraq, many Moroccans will feel duty-bound to help the resistance.

"There's a long tradition in the Muslim world of solidarity against occupation," he said. "It's rooted in our society. To explain it and understand it is easy."

Conclusion: we should stop paying for our enemies to come to study in our country with our tax dollars just so that they can spread their venom when they go back home.
Would it have been so difficult to pick a moderate Muslim instead of Khalfi whose blatant anti-Americanism and Anti-Semitism were well known before he reached our shores.
