Islamists Select a New Target, and a “See No Evil”
House Bill May Facilitate the Effort
PJ Media recently published a fascinating yet troubling Islamist Watch article by Marc Fink about Turkey’s intense cultivation of ties with Native American tribes: tribal students now study in Turkey with full scholarships; Turkish high officials regularly appear at Native American economic summits; and dozens of tribal leaders have gone to Turkey on lavish all-expense paid trips.
The effort culminated in a Congressional “Trojan Horse” bill that would give Turkey unfettered access to Native American tribal lands.
Most astounding, 220 representatives voted in favor – representing both parties and all ideological strains – with 160 opposed and 49 abstaining. The bill failed only because it required a two-thirds majority for a “suspension of the rules” vote.
The bill, or one similar, could come up for a vote again, at any time.
