I wish I could say that uber-liberal feminist Barbara McQuade, Barack Obama’s incompetent, pan-Islamist pick for U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, was worse than Bush’s picks.  But that would be a lie.

As  you’ll note in the picture of assorted terrorists and terrorist charity officials, above, McQuade hung out with them, along with her former boss, Bush U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy III a/k/a “Abu Porno” (for his well-known porn addiction).  And so did her boss before that, Bush U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Collins.  Murphy is now a liberal federal judge–thanks to President Bush–who has already issued pro-ACORN decisions on voters registration.

It’s simply disgusting.  As the 2005 picture above demonstrates, McQuade happily hung out with Khalil Jassemm, then-CEO of LIFE for Relief and Development, America’s largest Muslim charity, which admittedly donates millions of dollars to HAMAS and Al-Qaeda.  As I noted on this site, the FBI raided the group’s metro Detroit headquarters, and the U.S. Army raided the group’s Iraq offices in 2004.  But those were show raids, as Ms. McQuade was running the show in most federal terrorism prosecutions in Detroit, and LIFE continues to function obstacle-free, thanks to her and her minions in the U.S. Attorney’s office.  (As I’ve noted before, a top LIFE employee, Mohammed Alomari, wrote anti-Semitic conspiracy theory books and articles, claiming that America was established as a “zionist plot” back in 1776, and that the Washington Monument is a giant penis, and the Oval Office the vagina.)

LIFE, by the way, is–as I’ve also noted on this site–an American branch of the Muslim Brotherhood and openly supported and had its personnel work as spies for Saddam Hussein, too.  McQuade was so tight with LIFE personnel that she had to recuse herself from the federal prosecution of one of those LIFE spies for Saddam.

Also in the photo is “former” Islamic terrorist, FBI Award revokee, and marriage fraud perpetrator Imad Hamad, who–in a Detroit TV interview–openly praised teaching kids to become homicide bombers, as “patriotic.”  Ihsan Al-Khatib, the third Muslim in the photo, was general counsel of LIFE, as well as an attorney for Hamad’s deceptively-named American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, a Muslim-dominated organization that is openly pro-HAMAS and pro-Hezbollah, and aids and abets Muslim illegal aliens.  Al-Khatib shares office facilities with Nabih Ayad, the Muslim activist attorney related to Hezbollah officials who appears to have a kickback arrangement with ADC and Hamad to file “discrimination” lawsuits.

It’s not just that McQuade is a typical manly-acting (and looking) feminist, who refuses to take her husband, Dan Hurley’s, name.  It’s not even just that she’s tight with the biggest supporters, financiers, and enablers of Islamic terrorism in the Detroit area.  It’s that it has a direct affect on her prosecutions . . . or, rather, lack thereof.  In the heart of Islamic America, the Detroit U.S. Attorney’s Office consistently has the worst record in the country of prosecuting Islamic terrorists referred to it for prosecution by the FBI.  Under McQuade’s pan-Islamic “leadership” as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, her department prosecuted few Islamic terrorism cases referred to her by the FBI for prosecution, and won even fewer convictions in those cases.  The woman is incompetent and compromised by her close ties with Muslims.

Oh, and her idea of a real terrorist?  Me.  Yes, that’s right.  When a friend of mine wanted to buy tickets for a luncheon, for which she was in charge of ticket sales, she insisted on knowing the names of those for whom he was buying tickets.  When my name was mentioned, McQuade became unhinged and had a tantrum, saying that she would have to have U.S. Marshals at the luncheon to watch me.  That’s how threatened she is by me, after I embarrased her and her bosses at a public forum they held, by asking them why they conducted “outreach” and hung out with those who fund Islamic terrorism and openly attack Jews.  Needless to say, they couldn’t answer my questions and sat there dumbfounded.

It’s their warped view that–my free speech and exposing their “work” on this site and in places like The New York Post–as the real terrorism.  Their Islamic friends who attack Jews and raise money for homicide bombings, not so much.

But I’m sure this she-man nut, Barb McQuade, will be confirmed.  She’s greased the right skids and palms.  She maxed out in campaign cash to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign and donated to the campaigns of both Democrat U.S. Senators Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow, who recommended that Obama nominate her.
