Amazing that someone so uninformed could have been Attorney General.
Bush AG tells CPAC: ?The vast majority? of Muslims want to impose Sharia law - Salon.com
You may not be interested in Islamism, but Islamism is interested in you, warned former Attorney General Michael Mukasey at a Saturday CPAC panel of activists so fringy that they were not technically invited to the conference.
I want to thank CPAC for making this panel necessary, said the Bush-era attorney general, taking a sarcastic swipe at the organization for frowning on the panelists. And thank Breitbart.com for making this panel possible.
The Uninvited panel, organized by Breitbart media, brought together anti-Muslim activists like Pam Geller and Robert Spencer, and Mukasey fit right in.
The vast majority of the worlds 1.4 billion Muslims adhere to a view of their religion that agrees on the need to impose Sharia, or Islamic law, on the world, he said.
Mukasey criticized the Obama administration for being too soft on radical Islam, saying theres been a systematic purging in the government of the notion that radical Islam is dangerous. Why? Because of pressure from civil society groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) both of them a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, he said.
But it didnt start under Obama, Mukasey acknowledged, noting that his administration was too soft on Islamists as well. He noted disapprovingly that George W. Bush called Islam a religion of peace, and that another senior official called it a religion of peace and love. The crowd laughed at that.
