Looking into Arif Alikhan... “Radicalization, Information Sharing and Community Outreach: Protecting the Homeland from Homegrown Terror”  Our Office has arranged for local officials to participate with us in engaging these communities, most recently hosting Los Angeles Deputy Mayor for Homeland Security & Public Safety Arif Alikhan at our regular L.A. roundtable which I will describe further in a moment.  So he was deputy mayor of LA. It reminds me of Broward County which has a CAIR (Hamas) deputy sheriff. Napolitano pick raised funds for terror supporter  In April, Napolitano appointed Arif Alikhan, then Los Angeles deputy mayor of homeland security and public safety, to serve as assistant secretary for the Office of Policy Development at the Department of Homeland Security. WND has learned that just 13 days prior to his appointment by Napolitano, Alikhan joined the Muslim Public Affairs Council  Before serving as L.A.’s deputy mayor of homeland security and public safety, Alikhan worked for the U.S. Department of Justice as the overseer of a computer-hacking program. He also was the vice chairman and executive director of the Justice Department’s Intellectual Property Task Force.  A widespread claim that he called Hezbollah a "liberation movement" seems to have started with the quote attributed to MPAC, then bloggers misread other bloggers and attributed it to him.
