The State Department's Karen Hughes and I

I will never forget seeing Karen Hughes on the news a few years ago. She was the newly appointed Undersecretary of the State Department. Hughes a long time buddy of President Bush was given a job she had no business taking. She was being interviewed about a new State Department outreach program which was aimed at Muslim countries. The idea of the program was to spread democracy and American values. The interviewer asked her why she thought the program would work. Her answer with a smirk and shrug of her shoulders was "well my Muslim friends told me it would work". I said to myself, "unbelievable, just unbelievable". She is in a very important position, makes all that money and the only research she bothered to do is to ask her Muslim "friends". The next morning I gave her a call and got her voice mail. I left her a very friendly message with my name and number. Asking if her Muslim friends had told her things such as, Islam allows lying. Or that Islam calls for jizya, the paying of a special high tax from non-Muslims to Muslims.( Sura 9 29) She never returned the call. Over the next couple of years, I left her two or three more messages, in regards to the same subject. I never received a call back from her or even one of her staff members. Usually when I leave a message for U.S. officials, I get a call back. Apparently she thought she knew it all. Now it comes out that she has given money to Islamic groups whose leaders have been indicted or convicted of terrorism related charges. I would personally like to thank Mrs. Hughes for wasting our hard earned tax payer money and for helping the enemy. Karen, do you still think you are above returning a phone call now?
