(WND) A Washington-based think tank focused on national security has released a dossier on Muslim U.S. Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., charging his association with radical Islamic groups warrants his removal from the House Intelligence Committee.

The Center for Security Policy, in its report, called for a “rigorous assessment of the potential risks associated with Rep. Carson’s vulnerabilities to recruitment, blackmail or suborning.”

CSP President Frank Gaffney served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for nuclear forces and arms-control policy during the 1980s and later was a staff member for the Senate Armed Services Committee. He explained why Carson should be removed from the committee.

“Since there are, at the moment, few topics more in need of assiduous oversight by the Congress – even if there were no actual risk of compromise of national security secrets or Muslim Brotherhood influence operations associated with Rep. Carson’s presence on the House Intelligence Committee – the potential impediment he may constitute to such work demands his removal from this panel.”

WND reported in January that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi selected the first Muslim ever to serve on the intelligence committee.

The report noted the Middle East Forum’s Islamist Watch project, run by Daniel Pipes, revealed Carson received campaign contributions from numerous radical Muslim groups.
