Parasites start consuming their host

Some of the aggrieved ethnic parties that White House political operatives have hosted, credentialized, and protected, are now turning against the administration.

Mahdi Bray of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) and the MAS Freedom Foundation says he is a main organizer of demonstrations planned for May 24 to “protest the Bush-Ashcroft policy of discrimination and persecution of Muslims and immigrants.”

Bray, whom administration operatives have tried to cultivate at White House events, calls President Bush’s liberation of Iraq “barbaric and illegal.”

In Bray’s words, “The recent barbaric and illegal invasion of Iraq has emboldened the Bush administration in its actions to target the Muslim and immigrant community and to violate the rights of Muslims, immigrants, and all Americans with impunity. We must continue to forge a coalition of conscience to resist the Bush administration’s belligerent and destructive policy which is the greatest impediment to global peace today.”

The umbrella for Bray’s coalition of conscience is International ANSWER, the main organizer of “anti-war” protests whose leaders supported Saddam Hussein and show slavish loyalty to the North Korean regime of Kim Jong-il.

That could cause more problems for the administration’s controversial Arab/Muslim outreach program, which already worries Bush loyalists for willfully ignoring the terrorist connections of some of its favored groups, who have been leeching off the White House effort to attract legitimate Arab-Americans and Muslims.

One of the main groups feeding off the administration’s political protection, the American Muslim Council (AMC), “saluted” Bray in a news release earlier this year for “leading the charge for the Muslim community’s role” in the protests to prevent the liberation of Iraq. Mahdi Bray, the AMC said, “personifies the indomitable spirit of Islam in this country.”
