Stakelbeck on Terror: December 14, 2010

"On this week's special edition of Stakelbeck on Terror, CBN News goes inside Iran's fearsome Revolutionary Guard Corps with Reza Khalili (Booktitle: A Time to Betray), a former member who worked undercover for the CIA to bring down the Iranian regime."

----------------------
Transscript:

Reza Khalili: Mosques are supposed to be a place for prayer. A place for submission to God. But they are used as a recruitment center, for backdoor meetings, transfer of arms and cash and putting together terrorist activities and I was involved in some of their meetings.

Erick Stakelbeck: You made a key point, that Iran used mosques and Islamic cultural centers in the West to further its agenda...could you get a little bit more specific about that? How does Iran uses mosques here in the U.S. and in Europe to plot terrorism?

Khalili: I can tell you from experience: I was part of the operation, I was involved in the Islamic community, and I can tell you clearly that out of mosques, there was a big effort within the Afghan communities by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards members--and with Pakistanis, Turks and others. And they would recruit from them, they would transfer cash and arms. And mosques provided a safe haven, and actually, in my view, were one of the centers of the operation. So if an intelligence agency such as the CIA infiltrates a mosque and understands that there is a specific Guards member who runs it, then actually they could be very successful in drawing a chart of all the terrorist activities in that specific region. That's how central the mosque operation was.

Stakelbeck.: And that's in Europe--you were involved in some of these operations in Europe. How about the U.S.?

Khalili: It's absolutely the same. They recruit, they train, they sell the ideology of martyrdom, and many, many are guided and connected to terrorist groups. And you've seen this: many U.S. born citizens, Muslims, unfortunately, have been sold this idea and are sent to Al Qaeda camps or others. But the Iranians are very active in this country through the mosques and Islamic cultural centers to make those connections and run those operations.

  • How real is this? And how can we take it seriously if the US government has not found any evidence to his claims?

  • @Reido2828

    This is very real!

    Read the book from a former CIA double agent "A Time to Betray"!

  • "Radical" western terrorists are attacking Muslim countries, killing and maiming millions of people. Iran, on the other hand, hasn't attacked any country in 400 years. Extremist westerners are the terrorists, think about this deeply; be sincere and serious. Do research and stop parrotting "radical" western media propaganda and lies. "Fundamentalist", "radical" and "extremist" western groups and governments are causing all the violence and suffering in the world. Western nutjobs are the problem.

  • Mosque=comand+control,recruiti­ng ground for radicals,training centers for terrorists!
