Many anti-jihadists’ concern about Grover Norquist and his jihad ties ended abruptly when it turned out he was close friends with Rick Perry.

The anti-jihad movement has been raising the alarm about him for years, but they have been either dismissed, ignored, or demonized for doing so. However, members of Congress can no longer pretend that they don’t know…
…Here is how Wolf’s press release begins:
Washington, D.C. – In a speech today on the House floor, Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) expressed concern about Grover Norquist’s influence on the political process in Washington and his association with several individuals, groups and causes many would consider unsavory.Wolf questioned Norquist’s relationship with convicted felon Jack Abramoff and terrorist financiers Abdurahman Alamoudi and Sami Al-Arian. He also raised the issue of Norquist’s advocacy of moving Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States, including 9/11 mastermind Khaled Sheik Mohammed, and his representation of the Internet gambling industry and Fannie Mae…
