An Annotated Interview with DHS Advisor Mohamed Elibiary

Chiefs of Police (IACP), a member of the Intelligence and National Security Alliance(INSA) and a member of the International Association of Business Communicators(IABC).

In September 2011, then-FBI Director Robert Mueller awarded Mohamed Eli­biary the Bureau’s highest public service award for his involvement with several field of­fices in countering Homegrown Violent Extremism (HVE).

An indication of Elibiary’s true colors can be found in a presentation he made in2007 to the 4^th Annual Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America (AMJA) Imam-training conference held jointly with the North American Imams Federation in Cali­fornia. Both are hardline Islamist groups. His presentation states:

1. 
   “The Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt, Jordan, Tunis, etc. is a social move­ment for religious revival that seeks to Islamicize the society through cultur­al changing Dawah and that includes the political system, sound familiar?Yup you’re right they are the Muslim world’s version of the EvangelicalChristian Coalition/Moral Majority movement.”
   
2. 
   “We must always resist the temptation to force one group such as Islamiststo reform by adopting ‘Liberalism’ for example. That would be denyingthem their self-determination to structure their societies according to theirpublic will.”
   
3. 
   “We should remember that them [Islamists] ruling their countries withShariah law doesn’t mean them coming to our country and using our planesto destroy our buildings.”
   
4. 
   It boasts of how his organization mobilized the Muslim community in Tex­as to “build expansive interfaith partnerships that include all of civic and po­litical society in order to clarify the language used in the Global War onTerror (GWOT) in order to accurately define the enemy.”
   

Elibiary received significant attention when Reps. Michele Bachmann, Trent Franks, Louie Gohmert, Tom Rooney and Lynn Westmoreland drew upon research conducted by the Center for Security Policy⁴ in writing letters about the US MuslimBrotherhood to the Inspector-Generals of the Department of Homeland Security, Of­fice of the Director of National Intelligence, Defense Department, State Departmentand Justice Department. The June 13, 2012 letter to the Department of Homeland Se­curity⁵ specifically mentioned Elibiary, naming him as one of three DHS advisors with“extensive ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, other Islamist organizations and causes.” Italso mentioned reports by investigative reporter Patrick Poole⁶ that Elibiary allegedly tried to leak confidential information for political purposes. Elibiary maintains that he was exonerated⁷ by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
