Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., founder of the anti-terrorism caucus, says 'Muslim Mafia, Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America,' a publication of WND Books to hit the shelves tomorrow, ties the allegations to an internal memo by CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Myrick's office says 'Muslim Mafia' co-author Paul Sperry, an investigative journalist and expert on terrorism, and his investigative team unearthed the January 2007 memo. The lawmaker has worked with Sperry to get educational information for her anti-terrorism caucus. She wrote the forward to the book, which Sperry wrote with P. David Gaubatz, a counter-terrorism investigator and former Air Force special agent.

Myrick, along with Reps. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., John Shadegg R-Ariz., and Paul Broun R-Ga., are calling on the Department of Justice to share with Congress an executive summary of findings that led the FBI to officially sever ties with CAIR.
Myrick notes 'Muslim Mafia' also alleges CAIR has connections to Hamas. She points out the Muslim group was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation trial in Texas. The case resulted in guilty verdicts to 108 charges stemming from the funneling of more than $12 million to Hamas.
The lawmakers are also urging the Capitol's Sergeant at Arms to see whether or not CAIR infiltrated congressional offices, specifically the judiciary, intelligence and homeland security committees as referenced in the 2007 memo. Finally, Myrick and her colleagues are asking the Internal Revenue Service to finvestigate the legality of CAIR's non-profit status.....
