President Obama met with American Muslim leaders this afternoon, according to the White House schedule, but so far the administration is unwilling to reveal who attended the meeting, which was closed to the press.

 

The White House released a readout of the meeting explaining that Obama discussed “a range of domestic and foreign policy issues” including Obamacare, police fairness, anti-Muslim discrimination, and the upcoming Summit on Countering Violence Extremism.

 

“The President discussed the need to continue countering ISIL and other groups that commit horrific acts of violence, purportedly in the name of Islam,” the readout continued.

Rumor on the street is that Rage Boy was there with his delegation... since he's a kissing-cousin with The Zero.

About Those 14 "Muslim-American Leaders" Who Met with Obama

Daniel Pipes
February 10, 2015

 

For the first time in his six years as president, Barack Obama met behind closed doors with an exclusively domestic group of Muslims for about an hour on Feb. 4. They covered the boringly predictable topics, judging by the official readout, accounts by participants, and news reports.

 

What about the guest list? It includes a curiously unimpressive and motley collection of modestly accomplished individuals of little renown:

Some thoughts on these participants:

 

It hardly needs to be said, but I'll say it anyway: Almost all the guests are Islamists while not a single anti-Islamist made the cut.

The list contains several surprises: Two lowly staffers represented MPAC and Ta'leef. The obscure Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir represented basketball, rather than the famed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Hakeem Olajuwon. And where are such Muslim-American stars such as Muhammad Ali, Farouk El-Baz, Omar Sharif, McCoy Tyner, and Ahmed H. Zewail?

MPAC made the cut but not the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR); the latter must be seething, especially as it is hoping for U.S. government assistance to get off the UAE's terrorism list. This fits a long-term pattern of preferring tamer Islamists over more aggressive ones. Same story with ISNA and Islamic Circle of North America.
