Kahlili told WND.com: “They actually cite my change of faith as a
principal reason for targeting me. I thought once I left Iran for America I
wouldn’t have to worry about that kind of persecution.”
Of course, being a heretic and renouncing the Religion of Peace is not Kahlili's
only offense. What may also be at issue are authoritative claims Kahlili has
made recently; namely, that Iranian agents are "coordinating operations out of
[American] mosques and Islamic centers," and that Iran already possesses nuclear
weapons.
Several days ago, The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a
press release highlighting its call on Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and the
Defense Department to terminate Kahlili.
In the letter to Panetta, CAIR national Executive Director Nihad Awad accuses
Kahlili of writing for "an Islamophobic hate site that he 'renounced Islam and
began the quest to find the real God.'"
The "Islamophobic hate site" in question, by the way, is actually WND.com;
but Awad wasn't finished. He actually had the nerve to say: "This is yet another
unfortunate example of our nation's military and counterterrorism personnel
being trained by individuals who weaken America's security by promoting their
own religious and political agendas."
Do we need say more?
