When WND Books published “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America,” a devastating exposé of the Council on American-Islamic Relations and other Muslim Brotherhood front groups, my company was quite certain of a couple of things:

• the book would almost certainly result in some sort of frivolous lawsuit by CAIR in a desperate attempt to salvage its reputation as a “Muslim civil rights group”;
• the thoroughly documented book based partly on a daring undercover operation inside CAIR would finally result in making the media and public aware of the group’s standing as an unindicted terrorist co-conspirator and U.S. front for the Muslim Brotherhood;

Well, we got our frivolous lawsuit.

But never in my worst nightmares about the timidity and political correctness of the establishment press could I have imagined the way every so-called news organization in America would collectively run and hide – ignoring the book’s explosive and meticulous research and keeping critical national security information from the public.

Even though Glenn Beck of Fox News was a target of CAIR, he ignored the book.

Even though Bill O’Reilly was a target of CAIR, he ignored the book – and, even worse, kept inviting members of the group to appear on his top-rated show without confronting them on any of the material.

Not one Fox News show has to date shown any interest in the book or the monumental First Amendment suit it inspired.

Not one CNN show has acknowledged the book or the lawsuit.

Not one NBC, CBS or ABC news show has touched on it.

The Associated Press has ignored it.

The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and every other newspaper in America has failed to report on it.

Out of fear or journalistic compromise, the media have taken a collective powder.

It’s a scandal almost as big as what the book itself has revealed.

We don’t have a free press in America. Apparently, we don’t even have the vestige of a free press in America.

That’s my only conclusion.

But it gets worse.

Since the publication of the book, the lawsuit filed by CAIR has resulted in some dramatic developments and new disclosures.

Last week, WND (and only WND) reported that 12,000 pages of internal CAIR documents captured by researchers during their investigation and sought by CAIR in the lawsuit were instead turned over to the FBI, which deemed them significant enough to subpoena them after a U.S. judge ordered they be returned to the group.

Did that stir any curiosity by the media?

No.

Then again last week WND (and only WND) reported that in the most recent court filings by CAIR, the group effectively conceded it does not even legally exist as a non-profit corporation in the United States. As a result of this amazing finding by the legal team hired by WND to defend its co-author and his researcher, CAIR would be forced to refile the suit under a different name – if the judge permits it.

Was this news?

No, not according to the rest of the rat pack of U.S. “journalists.”

Now here’s a group that seems to have a standing invitation to talk shows and news shows on all the major networks. It is sought out regularly by the nation’s top wire services and newspapers as the go-to source on all issues affecting Muslims in the U.S. CAIR continues to be treated with respect and admiration and credibility by all the major media – in spite of all I have just told you!

Normally, the FBI does not seek subpoenas for documents as it did in this case unless there is an active and open grand jury investigation under way of the organization. I cannot confirm that is the case, because the FBI does not comment on such matters. But my wholly indifferent colleagues in the media know this.

So what am I saying here? What does all this suggest?

Seemingly, the entire media establishment either has its head buried in the Saudi sand or it so severely compromised by the foreign interests behind CAIR and the rest of the Muslim Mafia that they dare not tell you the truth – even when it is already out there in plain view, with books, court records and documentation.

I founded WND more than 13 years ago because I knew there was unspeakable corruption, negligence, impropriety, entanglements, disinformation and confusion within the ranks of the press establishment I have been a part of for more than 30 years.

But even I did not recognize just how widespread was the hammerlock of control.

Is there anything we can do?

You bet.

Here’s an action plan:

• First and foremost, I need your support. This intrepid little news organization needs your support. And we need it now. This lawsuit has been expensive, and it continues. It has not been dismissed. I need everyone reading this column to contribute financially to this fight against what is a carefully orchestrated effort to Islamize America and buy off the media from even alerting you to the facts.
• I need you to buy “Muslim Mafia” and spread the word about from coast to coast and around the civilized world.
• I need you to contact anyone and everyone you know in the media establishment, especially those you believe to be honest, courageous and freedom-loving Americans, about coverage of this book and the lawsuit surrounding it. Dare them to interview the authors. Dare them to interview the attorneys who have stood up for the First Amendment. Dare them to interview me about this book and this case. And if all that effort fails, you will know there is only one news organization left in America that you can trust. I sincerely hope that is not the case. But I dare you to find out.
