The TN Muslim Advisory Council Organized to Protect Political Islam From an Anti-Terrorism Bill

Objectively analyzed and sourced from the Koran, Hadith and Sira, The Center for the Study of Political Islam International (CSPII) notes that jihad is a “major part of Islamic doctrine”, “a crucial part of Political Islam” and is targeted to “strive against kafirs (non-Muslims).” https://www.cspii.org/methodology/research-reports/jihad/

Additionally, CSPII notes that there at least five forms of jihad, including “violent jihad.”

The dictates of political Islam are found in Islamic Sharia law a legal code based on three texts—the Koran, Sira (the life of Mohammed) and Hadith (the traditions of Mohammed). As summarized by CSPII, “[t]he vision of jihad is found in the Koran, the strategy is found in the Sira and the tactics are

found in the Hadith. The entire doctrine found in the Trilogy of Koran, Sira and Hadith is codified in the Sharia law.”

Political Islam, is easily understood as the parts Islam directed outward to the kafir which is expressed in a variety and in ever expanding ways. An example of non-violent jihad was the dismissal of a university art professor who showed an image of a 14th century painting of Mohammed. Her contract was not renewed because of the offense experienced by Muslim students. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/art-professor-sues-firing-showing-prophet-muhammad-images-rcna66250

Consider also the emerging pattern of publicly funded schools and universities complying with demands for halal food offerings which is much more advanced in Europe. The UK MEND organization (Muslim Development and Engagement) promotes halal in schools as a means to “nurtur[e] Muslim identities in schools”. 

Then there is the other kind of jihad – the violent type.

Memphis native Carlos Bledsoe, aka, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad and jihad

An example of political Islam’s “violent jihad” backdrop to Tennessee’s 2011 anti-terrorism legislation, was the 2009, self-described jihad terrorism at the Little Rock Arkansas Army recruiting center committed by Memphis native Carlos Bledsoe, aka, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad.

And the connection between Bledsoe’s jihad and the Tennessee Muslim Advisory Council? Short answer –  a naieve and weak-kneed governor bought a contrived sob story about an anti-terrorism bill alleged to have made following Islamic sharia law, a felony. Haslam fell for all of it and then did whatever he could to appease and validate the fiction this grouop continues to perpetuate.

How valid is this advisory council if it was founded on highly questionable grounds? Good question for Tennessee’s next governor. It’s a pretty good bet that the Syrian and Iraqi refugees that Marsha wanted to import in unlimited numbers, would want an Islamic advocacy group.

As you read about what happened under governor Bill Haslam’s leadership, consider that a Marsha Blackburn administration would likely have produced the same result.

Using a smear campaign about the 2011, anti-terrorism bill, a group calling themselves the TN American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) organized that same year. They were abetted in secret behind closed doors with the support and assistance from Governor Haslam’s Dept. of Safety and Homeland Security. Indeed, it was heralded and congratulated by its then Director failed gubernatorial candidate, Bill Gibbons.

In short order the arrangement evolved into a partnership between AMAC and the state’s Office of Homeland Security. While AMAC lobbied against the anti-terrorism legislation they were also training law enforcement and safety personnel. At the same time, four of the sitting AMAC members formed another organization for the specific purpose of lobbying at the capitol.

While rallying against the anti-terrorism bill, the director of AMAC’s lobbying organization brought in Hamas-linked CAIR to assist in their efforts.  

No matter that three years prior to CAIR’s first (but not last) involvement in Tennessee politics, CAIR failed to have its unindicted co-conspirator status in the Holy Land Foundation case removed. CAIR was named based on evidence of its ties to Hamas, a U.S. designated foreign terrorist organization. Presiding federal judge Solis confirmed CAIR’s unindicted co-conspirator status and ruled that the government had introduced extensive evidence tying CAIR to Hamas.

Metro Council member Zulfat Suara served as AMAC’s leader from shortly after they organized until 2019, when she ran for her first Metro Council term. Sabina Mohyuddin, a founding and sustaining member of AMAC who lobbied against the anti-terrorism bill, took over the leadership after Suara; Mohyuddin currently carries the title of Executive Director while Suara served as Treasurer, only recently leaving the AMAC board. 

Mohyuddin loves to repeat the patently inaccurate characerization of the 2011 anti-terrorism legislation as the “anti-sharia” bill. Never mind that the legislation at the center of this story specifically stated that it did not apply to the peaceful practice of any religion. The written legislative findings also made clear that the sole target was political Islam and not the protected religious worship of Islam. Still not good enough for the Islamists. Could it be because of that thing they call jihad? Or is it sharia law? Or is it political Islam? Or is it all three?

If she read the bill and didn’t understand it or didn’t read it but misrepresents it anyway, either way, it puts her credibility and her organization on very shaky ground.

What they created around the anti-terrorism bill has been one of AMAC and Sabina Mohyuddin’s favorite tactics to support their objectives grounded in political Islam.

Why the 2011 anti-terrorism legislation?

After 9/11, most states, including Tennessee, passed anti-terrorism laws to ensure that cases by-passed by the federal government could be prosecuted in state courts. For example, the Oklahoma City bombing relied on a state statute for punishment. A New York case involving two men who purchased hand grenades and other weaponry planning to blow up a large Manhattan synagogue, were arrested and charged by the FBI but were prosecuted by the state under its anti-terrorism statute.

The Little Rock Arkansas jihad terrorism case, the backdrop of the 2011 Tennessee legislation, was prosecuted by the state of Arkansas, not by the federal authorities.

With documented incidences of homegrown terrorism occurring betwen 2001 – 2011, there was legitimate concern that there was no lawful mechanism that would enable state and local law enforcement to intervene before acts of terrorism were committed by being able to reach those who plan, finance and also help others who commit acts of terrorism. So Tennessee put together a bill modeled after federal legislation that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld as constitutionally sound.

Against national news of terrorist acts, in 2009, the newly minted convert Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, aka, Memphis native Carlos Bledsoe, committed his own self-described jihad terrorist attack: 

“By his own account, he was preparing for jihad.” 

“Muhammad [Bledsoe name change after conversion], said he’d have killed more soldiers had more been in the parking lot. He told the detective he wasn’t guilty of murder, that the shooting was an act of jihad. Muhammad also told police there were at least six Molotov cocktails in a milk crate in the bed of his truck – green and clear bottles filled with gasoline and oil and duct taped.”

“And compared to what I had planned originally it was like a grain of sand,” Muhammad wrote about the attack. “One crusader dead, one wounded, 15 terrorized, big deal. Nidal Malik (Hasan, the accused Fort Hood shooter) is the real Islamic warrior, and my plan A was on that scale.”

“I knew this would end with the enemies of Allah killing me. But the good thing is – Martyrs don’t die! Allah says, “Don’t think of those who are killed for the sake of Allah as dead. Rather they are alive with their Lord and they have their provision!” (Qur’an 3:169) And that’s what I believe. The jihad lives on. May Allah accept my jihadi operations and grant me what he promises all of the … (martyrs) Ameen.”

Despite specific language in the 2011 bill protecting and exempting “the peaceful practice of any religion and in particularly the practice of Islam”, Mohyuddin and her fellow travellers, abetted by a highly compromised Tennessean reporter, launched a smear campaign claiming that the bill was an attempt to punish the practice of Islamic sharia law.

Mohyuddin went so far as to insinuate that the legislation would make practicing Islam a felony.

What the codified Tennessee law actually says is that it is a felony for anyone to knowingly help a designated entity with money, advice or any other aid. It also retained the language protecting the peaceful practice of any religion.

But cowardly leadership amended the critical state’s Attorney General designation authority out of the 2011 anti-terrorism bill; this would have enabled the AG to designate entities committed to carrying out terrorist acts in the state that threaten the security and safety of Tennesseans.

Fast forward to recent news from Florida. Where Tennessee’s cowardly leadership failed, Florida and Texas took action grounded in facts and documented reality.

Last week, Governor DeSantis used Florida’s terrorism designation law to designate CAIR and Antifa as domestic terror groups. On July 7, 2026, CAIR lost again when a federal judge denied their motion to stop being designated as a terrorist organization in Florida.

In addition to evidence produced in the Holy Land Foundation trial tying CAIR to Hamas (see above), it should not be forgotten that in 1994, CAIR’s national director Nihad Awad publicly declared his support for the Hamas terrorist organization.

AMAC’s former long-standing leader Zulfat Suara has expressed interest in serving as Davidson County’s next (most likely Mamdani style) mayor. Reading the contrived origins of her organization, it’s drift into attacking Zionism and endorsing the blatant falsehood of Israel committing genocide in Gaza, along with her support for known Jew-haters and the heinous self-described socialist Bernie Sanders https://dailyrollcall.com/metro-councilman-jacob-kupins-favs-tn-rep-aftyn-behn-metro-council-member-zulfat-suara/, it matters more than ever who Tennessee elects as its next governor.

Zohran Mamdani and Samar Ali Raised by Fathers Who Want to Erase Israel

What is the effect of growing up in a stew of Jew-hatred and wanting to destroy the Jew’s ancestral homeland and only Jewish majority country in the world?

Zohran Mamdani
Zohran has his father to thank for radicalizing him against all things Israel and its Jews. Zohran’s father Mahmood Mamdani “has called for the “dismantlement” of the state of Israel, compared Israelis to Nazis and spread hatred of Israel and Zionism.” To no surprise he supported the pro-Hamas college encampments.

Learning at his father’s knee, mayor-elect Mamdani has publicly endorsed the BDS campaign against Israel, has accused Israel of committing a genocide against palestinians and unrepentently throws around the “globalize the infitada” threat, which is widely understood to be a call for violence against Jews.

 As explained in the American Jewish Committee’s Translate Hate Glossary, the First Intifada (1987-early 1990s) and Second Intifada (2000-2005, aka, the Al-Aqsa Intifada), palestinian Jew-hatred included protests, demonstrations and suicide bombings in “civilian areas and passenger bus bombings.”

During the Second Intifada’s terror attacks, a palestinian blew himself up in a popular and crowded Sbarro pizzeria in downtown Jerusalem, killing 16 people including 7 children and a pregnant woman; 130 others were wounded.

During the Second Intifada, 1,137 Israeli civilians were killed and 5,676 were wounded.

Indeed, for Jews, the intifada reference is no figment of their imagination given the intentional post-October 7th violence against Jews in the U.S. and in other countries. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to connect the campus pro-Hamas demonstrations to the post October 7th pro-Hamas marches around the country including in Nashville, to the intentional slaying of the young couple outside of the DC Capital Jewish Museum or the Denver molotov cocktail attack on a public gathering in support of the hostages then being held by Hamas.

Mamdani also tosses around the “free Palestine” catchphrase, short for “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free”, meaning there would be no Israel or Jews between the Jordan River and Mediterranean. It is the popular anti-Israel war cry of the BDS crowd which includes Mamdani and his circle of like-minded comrades. Not by coincidence it is also used by rabid Jew-haters like the Denver molotov cocktail thrower.

Samar Ali
Unlike Mamdani, Samar understands the political environment in which she operates, so instead of the direct Mamdani approach, she aligns with others who do the anti-Israel work. 

Don’t underestimate the self-described “peacemaker”. In a poorly sourced and biased op-ed penned by Vanderbilt’s 2023 student body president, Samar defends Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s use of “from the river to the sea” because Tlaib didn’t “intend” for it to reflect her antisemitism. Samar’s round-about explanation and alleged sourcing of the phrase makes no mention of it’s adoption as the badge of the BDS movement whose expressed goal is the elimination of the State of Israel.

Tlaib was censured by Congress including support from twenty-two Democrats, for defending the slogan. The resolution formally condemned Tlaib for “calling for the destruction of the state of Israel”

Samar has served as Zulfat Suara’s, campaign treasurer during both of Suara’s Metro Council successful elections.

During Suara’s many years of leading the TN American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC), the organization platformed some of the most vocal and poisonous Jew-haters including Linda Sarsour and Ash-Lee Henderson to “challenge Zionism”, the movement that helped to establish the State of Israel.  Martin Luther King Jr., often cited by progressives as a symbol for social justice, understood that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. As he said, “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You are talking anti-Semitism.”

At the same time, local Tennessee Jew-hater Drost Kokoye served for years on Suara’s board who apparently didn’t get Kokoye to either tone down her anti-Jew rhetoric or resign from the board.

Years before connecting with Suara, in 2012, Samar traveled with Jimmy Carter to witness the election of the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate Mohamed Morsi as Egypt’s new president. That’s the same Morsi who In a 2010, video declared, “[w]e must never forget, brothers, to nurse our children and our grandchildren on hatred for them: for Zionists, for Jews”.

Two years later in 2014, Carter again blamed Israel for the strife in the Middle East and demanded recognition of Hamas as a “legitimate political actor” despite its designation as a foreign terrorist organization in 1997, by the U.S. government.

After Samar’s trip with Carter, her father’s foundation began donating to the Carter Center.

Closer to the Ali home, is her father Subhi’s mentorship under Hisham Sharabi, the founder and chairman of what became the Jerusalem Fund (JF). Subhi served as vice-chairman taking over as chairman in 2005, shortly before Sharabi died. 

In 2006, Samar served as the transatlantic liaison for one of the Jerusalem Fund’s projects. Her father Subhi continues to be listed as chairman of the Fund’s board.

Subhi’s mentor Sharabi was a board member of WISE(World and Islam Studies Enterprise) which was incorporated and led by Sami al-Arian who was subsequently sentenced in 2006 to prison and deported for conspiring to provide material support to the terror group Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). According to the indictment, WISE funneled payments to the PIJ martyrs through the Islamic International Arab Bank (Arab Bank).

In 2003, while Subhi was serving as vice-chair of the board, the Jerusalem Fund hosted a conference titled, “Israel’s Policy of Apartheid and Ethnic Cleansing,” reflecting the Fund’s real purpose. Sharabi who described Hamas as “the true faida’i (self-sacriaice) resistance in Palestine since the outbreak of the Palestinian intifada, ”justified a Palestinian “armed struggle” if necessary, to end Israel’s presence in the West Bank and Gaza. 

Under Samar father’s leadership, the Jerusalem Fund continued it’s anti-Israel agenda, celebrating its 40th anniversary featuring a keynote by then sitting Israeli-Arab Knesset member, Haneen Zoabi who compared Israel to Germany in the 1930s, claimed Israel has no right to exist as a Jewish state and suggested that Israeli-Arab members of the Knesset should work to undermine the State of Israel from within.

Speakers hosted by the Jerusalem Fund persist in spreading the false propaganda of Israel as an apartheid state. 

Vocal antisemite Hatem Bazian, founder of the anti-israel groups Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), has been a invited speaker for the Jerusalem Fund (JF). A recent report from the Endowment for Middle East Truth, suggests stronger connections with Bazian, who, “is also a link between JF, AMP, and SJP, through his membership at Al-Shabaka: a global think tank for pro-Palestinian academics.”

According to Canary Mission, Bazian who is also a leader in the BDS campaign against Israel, he has “called for “intifada” in America, defended the Hamas terror group, expressed support for terrorists and fundraised for a Hamas-linked charity. He has politicized academic coursework, demonized Israel and Zionists, and showed support for pro-Hamas student encampments.”

Under Samar’s father’s leadership, the JF became even more vocal in pushing the BDS campaign against Israel. Yousef Munayyer, the Fund’s director and vocal BDS anti-Israel agitator, left in 2014, to take leadership of the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR). Tablet Magazine has exposed a troubling money relationship between USCPR and U.S. designated foreign terrorist organizations in the piece BDS Umbrella Group Linked to Palestinian Terrorist Organizations.

No surprise perhaps that Samar’s very close ally Metro Council member Zulfat Suara’s post-October 7th “ceasefire” resolution was “a template taken from the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) website”.

A closer look at Zulfat Suara’s alliances and activities related to Israel, Zionism and Jews, explains more perhaps about why Samar Ali has chosen to put herself in Suara’s camp, one that Samar has been raised to appreciate. Her mother immigrated to the U.S. from Syria and her father is a Palestinian who lived for a time in Ramallah, the city where Yasser Arafat, often referred to as the “father of modern terrorism” because of his “decades long involvement in terrorism“, established his Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) headquarters.

Arafat popularized the black and white keffiyeh now being paraded on college campuses by pro-Hamas idiots.

As stated in the report from the Endowment for Middle East Truth, Subhi Ali’s Jerusalem Fund “…is a prominent part of the Islamist network in the United States.”

It’s Time to End the Islamization of America

Today, when law enforcement finds a “manifesto” explaining the details of why and how an act of violence has occurred or will be occurring, it becomes a valuable, integral part of an investigation. These manifestos have been treasure troves of information, perhaps giving a deep look into the why the suspect committed the act of violence. Manifestos are so valuable, they have been the center of many lawsuits to prevent their contents from becoming public.

So why has the Muslim Brotherhoods “manifesto” been ignored and put on a back burner? Is it because there are no outward statements of violence? In the case of “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America” ( the Brotherhoods manifesto, first several pages are in Arabic, English follows)) there is no violence but rather a systematic, methodical outline of organizations and groups and how they will come from within to destroy America. Why would law enforcement ignore this valuable document? It even was admitted into evidence in the Holy Land Foundation Trial held in Dallas Texas in 2008.

 Today, as we witness the outward aggressive progression of Muslims that have taken over many American cities, the question that begs to be answered is why the US Government is not doing anything about this. Except for Texas, where yesterday Gov Abbott proclaimed the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) to be terrorist organizations.  CAIR, doing what it does best immediately issued a statement followed by threats of lawsuits against the state of Texas and its Gov Greg Abbott. A proclamation signed by Abbott claims that CAIR “is an Islamist organization that, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigations, was founded as a ‘front group’ for ‘Hamas and its support network’ in the United States.”  It’s founder and current executive director Nihad Awad has admitted he is a supporter of Hamas.

I’m a supporter of the Hamas movement” Nihad Awad Executive Director of CAIR

Abbott has been the first Governor in the United States to take such action, but whether it has teeth or not will be seen in the future. Governors in every state should immediately follow Abbotts decision to do this, despite all the accusations of being Islamophobic. Whether or not the courts will reject this doesn’t matter… forcing CAIR to put money out to battle lawsuits would be detrimental to their finances for sure. It would also cause Muslim Brotherhood front groups to be exposed as to their intent to destroy America from within.

In order to be effective, politicians must first have a spine and not fear being called Islamophobes, bigots or haters. They must take into account the validity of their manifesto and understand the intentions of Muslims in todays America. We either will remain a democracy that embraces its Christian -Judeo principals or be turned into a land under sharia law.

I urge every American citizen that understands this legitimate threat to contact their state representatives and encourage them to take a stand against the Islamization of our cities. It no longer is something to be placed on a back burner, our country’s future is at stake.

Rep. Tim Burchett Wants to Import More Arabs From Gaza to Tennessee

Responding to President Trump’s recent plan for the terrorist enclave called Gaza, Knoxville’s representative in Congress, Tim Burchett, says they should come to Tennessee:

“We already have Palestinians in America and some of them are the finest people that I know. They live in Knoxville, Tennessee, and they’re wonderful Americans if they want to assimilate and become Americans, but if they don’t, they wanna bring terrorism and hatred and things like that in this country. I don’t think we should, but we have a pretty good record with Palestinians at least in Tennessee, so I welcome them” https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/rep-burchett-welcomes-idea-of-palestinians-relocating-to-us-tn/ar-AA1yChi5

Burchett then pivots to the problem of illegal immigration suggesting that a “litmus test” of who should be taken into the U.S. would apply to the Arabs (the proper non-political designation for so-called “palestinians”) because he says we already have the Taliban and Chinese spies in our country.

Presumably he is saying that bringing in more terrorist leaning anit-Jew and anti-America agitators is not a good idea.

Burchett has a short memory. This is the same Tim Burchett that as a Tennessee state senator, sponsored a 2007 bill, now law, that was supposed to penalize transporting illegal aliens into the state. The bill was amended to let certain NGOS (Catholic Charities???) defend bringing illegal aliens into the state if it was for so-called religious purposes like mission work. Of course the amendment made little sense since the goal of the bill was to punish transporting illegal aliens into the state.

In response to the religious defense amendment, House member Stacey Campfield, also from Knoxville, questioned whether this amendment would apply to an NGO bringing in aliens to commit jihad. Legitimate question but of course not taken seriously by the bill sponsors so the bill passed with the amendment.

Laughably Burchett believes there is a “litmus test” that can somehow discern which “palestinians” want to assimilate and become good Americans which just shows how little insight Burchett has to Islamist doctrine and thinking.

Ft. Hood’s 2009 jihadist U.S. Army Major Nidal Malkik Hasan was born and raised in the U.S. by “palestinian” parents who immigrated to the U.S. from the West Bank which is politically ruled by the Hamas supporting Palestinian Authority, aka, Fatah.

The 2015 Chattanooga jihadi Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, who gunned down five U.S. servicemen and wounded two others, while not born in the U.S., was raised in Tennessee by parents who were reported to be Palestinian-Jordanians and who “identified themselves as Palestinians”.

Daoud Abudiab, a “palestinian” who labels his birthplace as “occupied palestine” where his parents still reside, has had leadership roles with the illegal alien supporting TIRRC and Jew-hating American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC). 

Daoud Abudiab, was a co-founder of AMAC and its first chairman and is a fellow traveler of Israel haters. Trying hard to portray himself as an interfaither with the singular agenda of creating a positive impression of Muslims through his “Our Muslim Neighbor,” (a project of Religions for Peace USA, an organization itself tied to Muslim Brotherhood organizations), Abudiab launched his Faith and Culture Center in 2014. Then his Center joined Nashville’s leftist collective to strategize with the emerging local BLM chapter. That was the same year that BLM leaders traveled to “occupied palestine” and publicly announced their support for the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.

Coming out of the closet in his own way, Abudiab joined the Muslim Brotherhood organizations at the inaugural USCMO conference the same year the USCMO issued its “Washington Declaration”, an initiative intended to unite a globalized Islamist political force. The USCMO was founded by every major U.S.-based Jew-hating organization including CAIR, AMP (BDS leader American Muslims for Palestine), MAS – the Muslim American Society whose founder admitted that his organization was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Following his attendance at the USCMO conference, Abudiab amplified his hatred of Israel by speaking at FOSNA’s (Friends of Sabeel North America) 2015 conference. FOSNA attacks Christian Zionism, promotes the BDS campaign against Israel, and has teamed up with Black 4 Palestine to bring black churches and clergy into their Israel and Jew hate efforts.

FOSNA remains on the Anti-Defamation League’s top ten list of anti-Israel organizations in the U.S.

In the course of pretending to be focused on a “struggle for a just peace” FOSNA predictably offered a panel discussion on BDS.

Omar Barghouti, co-founder of the BDS campaign made it clear in 2010, and again, more recently, that the goal of BDS is to eliminate Israel. He expressly rejects a two-state solution and says that a palestinian right of return is the way to end Israel as a Jewish state.

Tennessean Dana Swaies a pro-palestinian Hamas supporter as far back as 2014, is so venomous that it earned her a profile on Canary Mission, which “documents individuals and organizations that promote hatred of the USA, Israel and Jews on North American college campuses and beyond. Canary Mission investigates hatred across the entire political spectrum, including the far right, far left and anti-Israel activists.”

According to Canary Mission, “[a]s of August 2020, Swaies used the alias Bateekhahead and the screen name دانا on Twitter, Some of Swaies’ posts include:

According to Canary Mission, “As of March 2021, Swaies’s LinkedIn page said she was a Scheduling Coordinator at the Murfreesboro offices of Cumberland Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, in Tennessee, since November 2020.”

To round out the known who’s who of Burchett’s “finest [palestinain] people” in Tennessee, there is former UT Knoxville student Amira Sakalla who as reported by Canary Mission, “called for an Intifada, demonized Israel and spread Israel hatred online. Sakalla was the founder of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at University of Tennessee (UTK)  (SJP UTK), in 2012.”

And that is just a taste of Sakalla’s Jew-hatred. Among her many Jew-hating credentials was her 2015 -2016 stint as a staff intern at the anti-Israel organization Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA) which is the same time period that Daoud got connected to FOSNA. Hmmm.

For anyone who has paid attention to the TN American Muslim Advisory Council during Zulfat Suara’s leadership, it was no surprise that Sakalla and her Jew-hating comrade Ash-Lee Henderson, were featured speakers at AMAC’s 2018 attack Zionism event. 

Someone in Tim Burchett’s district needs to share this information with him and strongly suggest that he reconsider expanding the community of “the finest people [he] knows”.

Jihad in the U.S. including Tennessee

The U.S. House Subcommittee on Counterrorism and Intelligence just released a snapshot report titled “Foreign Jihadist Networks and Homegrown Violent Extremism: a Persistent Terror Threat to America”. https://homeland.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Updated-Terror-Threat-Snapshot-copy.pdf

The 14-page report lists selected incidents of U.S.-based jihadi attacks, foreign terrorist networks and homegrown violent extremism. The report is a thin summary of the many jihadi-inspired attacks in the U.S. over the years. More on that at a later date.

The report’s contents should not surprise anyone who has been paying attention since the jihadis have been here for a loooooong time. They have been enabled to metastasize and enlarge their circles of influence through immigration, conversion and preaching a doctrine that hates the Judeo-Christian west with the end goal of eliminating it – subjugation through acts of terror, political sharia, providing material support to jihadi groups, killing individuals with vehicles and knives – whatever it takes.

It’s perfectly reasonable to assume that at least since the 2007 successful prosecution of leaders of the Holy Land Foundation and the exposing of the Muslim Brotherhood’s presence and plan (referred to as the 1991 Memorandum for North America, linked below), our government has known about these actors and their intentions.

It does not appear, however, that our government was either consistent or persistent in taking the Brotherhood and jihadi commitment to our destruction, seriously enough.

Originally named the “Occupied Land Fund”, the Holy Land Foundation was the largest Islamic charity in the U.S. which claimed it was raising funds to bring humanitarian relief to needy Palestinians in the “occupied territories” – a claim dispelled by the prosecution of the fund’s leaders. 

The 2007 prosecution by the DOJ shut down the Foundation for funding Hamas and other Islamic terrorist organizations. 

Several of the Islamist organizations operating in the U.S. and named in the Muslim Brotherhood’s 1991 plan titled An Explanatory Memorandum On the General Strategic Goal for the Group In North Americawere named as unindicted co-conspirators for providing material support in the form of raising money to support the U.S. designated terrorist organization Hamas. 

In 2009, when ISNA (Islamic Society of North America), and several other of the big Islamist organizations still in full operation today, unsuccessfully challenged their unindicted co-conspirator status, the judge held that “[t]he government has produced ample evidence to establish the associations of CAIR, ISNA, NAIT, with NAIT, the Islamic Association for Palestine, and with Hamas.” 

(As a side note, Metro Nashville Council member Zulfat Suara has been an active participant with ISNA which named her “Muslim policy advocate of the year”,speaking at their 2018 conference on a panel with her good friend and fellow Jew hater Rashida Tlaib.. That was the same year that during Suara’s leadership of AMAC, they featured virulent Jew-hating anti-Israel speakers to attack Zionism).

The point of this history lesson is to question why members of Congress like Rep. Mark Green who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee aren’t talking about the organizations operating in the U.S. which are affiliated with or otherwise connected to and supportive of Hamas?

Mark Green could perhaps start with a hearing featuring people like CAIR’s executive director Nihad Awad. The committee and viewing public could watch Awad’s 1994, unconditional statement of moving his support from one terrorist organization, the PLO, to Hamas:

I used to support the PLO, and I used to be the President of the General Union of Palestine Students which is part of the PLO here in the United States, but after I researched the situation inside Palestine and outside, I am in support of the Hamas movement more than the PLO.

https://www.investigativeproject.org/223/cairs-awad-in-support-of-the-hamas-movement

Shortly after the October 7th massacre Awad amplified his support for terrorism and Hamas. 

Better yet, why not indict and move forward with prosecutions of the organizations confirmed in the 2009 court ruling based on “ample evidence” to be connected to Hamas, a U.S. designated foreign terrorist organization? (Maybe Mark Green should meet with Steve Emerson ((investigative project on terrorism)) who has one of the most detailed catalogues of this type of documentation).

Why not peel back the layers of the Israel hating BDS group like the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights which, sounding similar to the Holy Land Foundation scheme, “helps facilitate tax-exempt donations to a Palestinian coalition that includes Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and other groups the U.S. State Department designates as terror organizations.” https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/bds-umbrella-group-linked-to-palestinian-terrorist-organizations

Will the day come when Congress tires of simply compiling “reports” to tell us that jihad in the U.S. is a continuing problem and instead, take action to dismantle at least some parts of its U.S. based jihadi infrastructure? After all, the report says it is a “persistent” threat. Maybe email Mark Green and ask him what comes after the 14-page snapshot report? https://markgreen.house.gov/email-me

Jihad in America..Slow and Steady

News flash: Over 30,000 people clashed with Capitol Police and the Secret Service using smoke bombs in an attempt to crash through fencing.  Sound familiar? Only this wasn’t the staged Jan 6th 2021, this was June 8th 2024.

This wasn’t an insurrection, this is a level of Islamic Jihad. And yet Americans continue to support and embrace pro-Palestinian rallies and protests.  For years and years Islamists have claimed the West would be taken “from within”, and Sharia Law would be the law of the land. America and Europe will fall to the Islamic State ( or as some say, the Global Caliphate.)

America they are telling us their goal, why don’t you believe them? One only has to look at Britain to see how far Muslims have advanced, but one has to remove their blinders and rose colored glasses to do so. Islam is not a peaceful religion, Islam has vowed to be superior to all other religions at any and all costs.

Jihad is the means to achieve that. Muslims will tell you Jihads definition  in Arabic is “to struggle”, In Islam jihad means holy war. The Quran specifically exempts the disabled and ‘weak’ from Jihad ( Sura 4:95, 9:91), which would make no sense if the word is being used within the context of spiritual struggle. Jihad is mentioned over 50 times in reference to the words of Muhammad (in sahih verses).  Each carries a clear connotation to holy war.

 In one of the most detailed, revealing manifestos ever seen by US law enforcement and intelligence experts is the Muslim Brotherhoods manifesto titled “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America”, written in 1991. This document was found in a Hamas members basement during a raid by the FBI. It later was used as evidence to help indict several Hamas members and co-conspirators for funding Hamas, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization on the US State Depts Terror watch list. Their intentions in this document are very clear:

As things are to go, the first stage of Islamic conquest has already taken place with the successful attempts to portray Muslims as peaceful and victims of racism, (Even though Islam is not a race) calls to criminalize “Islamophobia” as a hate crime, threats of legal actions against those “discriminating” against Muslims, and interfaith events to indoctrinate non-Muslims. Now, the Biden administration has published “The U.S National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia and Anti-Arab Hate”.

Muslims are masters at being victims, and America loves victims. We have embraced and accepted their agenda all under the guise of religion, despite the exposure of their goals. As the numbers of Muslims increase, so does the threat. Islam is a united front, what occurs “over there” will also occur here, in a matter of time.   

In a recent article by Robert Spencer published on PJ Media, a disturbing trend has in fact taken place in many cities where the mayors are Muslims. Why does that matter? Effecting change can only be done by changing policies, rules and laws and politicians are the ones that are able to do that. Dismissing traditional policies to implement Sharia law has already begun, and will continue as numbers of Muslims grow.

As we saw over the last year with Muslims openly declaring war on America with the burning of our flag, and the desecration of historical monuments, it no longer is just about the war in Gaza..it is about their disdain for America and all we stand for.

Only in America with the current political and social climate could a terrorist organization take to the streets without any consequences.  In case you are one of many still asleep, Hamas is a designated foreign terrorist group here in the United States.  Here is the link :

https://www.state.gov/foreign-terrorist-organizations/

Hamas is no different than Al-Qaida, Boko Haram or ISIS. Yet we have allowed them to flourish here in America. We have given them platforms across the country to spread their ideology also known as Islam. We have given them permission to enter our colleges and universities under the guise of “religious” freedom. We have embraced them as they portray themselves as constant victims. We have bowed to them as they tell you how pious they are during “interfaith” gatherings. And now we are standing back and watching them destroy our history and our country. For those that remain ignorant or gullible, Islam is the foundation to how  and why these groups operate. 

Yasir Qadhi, a dean at the Islamic Seminary of America and resident scholar at the East Plano Islamic Center in Plano TX clearly states in this talk how Muslims having multiple children (5.6 or 7) is the secret weapon to advancing the Muslim world.

It is beyond time to believe what the Islamists are telling us.

AMAC & TN Higher Ed Help Foment Jew-Hatred in Tennessee

The big question is why has this happened in Tennessee and why hasn’t it been questioned?

Have Islamists like those who founded and run the TN American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC), reduced Tennesseans to useful idiots? Have they done such a good job of perverting and subverting our rights to serve their doctrinal hatred of Jews as to make questioning their Jew-hatred verrboten?Has their continual whining about imagined and alleged discrimination made it off limits to “offend” them in some way?

From Vanderbilt, to University of Memphis, to MTSU to UTKnoxville, Islamist Jew-haters have not held back on publicly posting their Jew-hatred. In 2016, details were reported about what was happening on Tennessee college campuses with students posting messages such as calling to “annihilate Jewish, Zionist dogs”. https://www.algemeiner.com/2016/11/28/tennessee-students-calls-to-annihilate-jewish-zionist-dogs-uncovered-by-covert-campus-watchdog/

An early vocal and venomous Jew-hater who started as a high-schooler and continued in college is former MTSU student and Muslim Students Association organizer Dana Swaies whose antisemite profile is posted on Canary Mission website which exposes haters of the U.S., Israel, and Jews. https://canarymission.org/individual/Dana_Swaies. According to this entry, as of March 2021, Swaies’s LinkedIn page said she was a Scheduling Coordinator at the Murfreesboro offices of Cumberland Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, in Tennessee, since November 2020.  Makes you wonder what she says to her co-workers.

2016 is the same year when under Zulfat Suara’s leadership of the AMAC, they brought zealous Jew-hater Linda Sarsour to be a featured speaker at an AMAC event and provide a platform for her to spread her lies about Israel and suggest ways for others to advocate against the sole Jewish state in the world. https://klp.wnv.mybluehost.me/amac-normalizes-anti-semitism-in-tennessee/

It was under Suara’s leadership that in 2016, AMAC also officially began its relationship with publicly recognized antisemites meeting in Nashville with Pramilla Jayapal and Ilhan (it’s the Benjamin babies) Omar. https://klp.wnv.mybluehost.me/amac-board-member-welcomed-anti-semites-ilhan-omar-and-rep-pramila-jayapal-to-nashville/

With the help of AMAC and student groups like the Muslim Students Association (MSA) and the Middle Eastern Studies Association (MESA), Sarsour has been enabled to foul and pollute college campuses in Tennessee. In July 2023, because of its extreme antisemitism and advocacy for the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions campaign against Israel, MESA got booted from its headquarters located at George Washington University.

 

Sarsour’s special brand of Jew hatred has been wrapped in the intesectionality/allyship, a socialist theory of connecting groups in a common struggle with the “oppressed” against the “oppressor”. Not surprisingly, the “oppressors” are stereotyped as privileged white supremacists.

Intersectionality, allyship and the other garbage that those like Sarsour and her sycophants like former AMAC board member and anti-Jew agitator, Drost Kokoye dish out, deliberately weaponize these theories against Jews even if they aren’t white or privileged.

It’s notable that Kokoye, a Kurdish refugee who came to live in Nashville at the largesse of the U.S. and was a long-standing board member of AMAC, was one of the earliest anti-Israel provocateurs, standing on Nashville streets with her sign parading the Israel genocide lie and taking her bullhorn to rally for the destruction of Israel. She also has an extensive write-up on the Canary Mission website https://canarymission.org/individual/Drost_Kokoye

Amira Sakalla, another speaker featured in AMAC’s 2018 anti-Zionism program, was among UT Knoxville’s earliest anti-Israel campus agitators. Her dishonest rhetoric and hateful actions earned her a write-up on Canary Mission. https://canarymission.org/individual/Amira_Sakalla

Joining Sakalla in AMAC’s 2018 Jew-hate fest event, was super Jew-hater Ash-Lee Henderson whose greatest wish to destroy the U.S. and Israel is detailed in the Dailyrollcall documented eight part series.

Zulfat Suara, was a co-founder and leader of AMAC since 2012. Suara is now a Metro Nashville council member who stepped down as public leader of AMAC when she ran for office. But her commitment to the same anti-Jew agenda has not stopped so she remains a named board member of the organization.

Linda Sarsour & Suara

As a Metro Council member Suara has steadfastly refused, even after the October 7th massacre, to condemn Hamas. To drive this point home, Suara used templated language from the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), and sponsored a resolution calling for a ceasefire in the war started by Hamas.

The Jew-hating USCPR’s focus is to turn Americans against Israel. The USCPR has troubling ties to Tennessee.

Just as Suara has refused to condemn Hamas, neither does her resolution, despite the fact that Hamas has vowed to repeat October 7th over and over again until all Jews are dead and Israel destroyed. Instead, Suara validates Hamas by citing it’s U.S. counterpart CAIR’s allegations of Islamophobia. FBI statistics consistently show hate crimes against Jews dwarf anti-Muslim activity.

Author and social media influencer Alyssa Rosenheck exposed the fact that Suara’s resolution was “a template taken from the USCPR website, a group funneling tax-exempt donations to Palestinian organizations, including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other U.S.-designated terrorist groups.“BDS Umbrella Group Linked to Palestinian Terrorist Organizations.” StandWithUs.com also has a great fact sheet exposing USCPR.

It has been known and documented for decades since the Holy Land Foundation prosecution, that the Muslim Brotherhood tentacles are wrapped in and around Islamist organizations like CAIR and the Muslim Student Association (MSA).

Don’t for one minute forget that CAIR’s leader Nihad Awad has publicly voiced his support for the U.S, designated terrorist group HAMAS and more currently, his support for the barbarism of October 7th against Israeli civilians. https://klp.wnv.mybluehost.me/tennessee-muslims-with-radical-anti-jew-pro-palestine-activists/

For all intents and purposes, AMAC is Tennessee’s CAIR chapter and CAIR is HAMAS. https://klp.wnv.mybluehost.me/amac-tn-american-muslim-advisory-council-is-cairs-tennessee-chapter/ and antisemitism is the lifeblood of CAIR, its organizers, employees and fellow travelers.

Sarsour, CAIR’s Nihad Awad & Yasir Qadhi former Memphis imam

The Investigative Project on Terrorism has produced an extensive well-documented report – “CAIR Antisemitism Unmasked”. https://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/1172-cair-antisemitism-unmasked.pdf. By its actions, AMAC is right in the mix.

And Yet Another Terrorist Group Opens in America…

Islamists have been telling us for years.

But instead many have embraced, supported and accepted their warnings under the guise of religion.

Now as we watch the UK fall to its knees, we must either acknowledge their deceit or prepare to accept their way of life. What will it be America?

Undoubtedly, we will be labeled Islamophobes, haters and bigots but just like the democrats who are now showing us their communist colors, Islamists are no longer hiding their destructive agenda.

As we have witnessed terrorist organizations publicly attack American icons and desecrate our flag, we stand silent. Why?

Now, let me introduce you to another organization coming out of the dark here in the United States. Cage International. Cage is an anti Jewish, anti- American Islamist advocacy group that appears as a human rights group on behalf of known Al Qaida and convicted terrorists. Once again, many will see this as helping Muslims who have been unfairly treated in America. What needs to be known is Cage wants to see dangerous terrorists released from prisons. One such person is Al- Qaida operative Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani scientist convicted and sentenced for attempting to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan. Siddiqui was sentenced to 86 years, which CAGE now claims the nine allegations she was convicted of were “lies and inconsistencies”.  

The biggest voice for Cage here in the United States is Omar Sulieman, founder and president of the Yaqeen Institute in Irving TX and also an adjunct professor at the Southern Methodist University. Sulieman is a strong supporter of the BDS movement, as well as CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations AKA Hamas) and AMP (American Muslims for Palestine). He believes the war on terror equates with a war on Muslims, a popular belief by Muslims in the United States, as they continually portray themselves as victims.

Because Suliman is considered by many as a pious Islamic preacher, his relationships with Christian preachers will be used to further this cause. What religious leaders here in the United States need to understand is embracing those advocating for the release of convicted terrorists that have killed Americans, or attempted to, were tried and convicted by our criminal justice system and must not be released under the false guise of “Muslim persecution”, or Islamophobia.

Leaders of Cage International promote jihadi and terrorist ideology, using the victim card as the chance to see violent Islamic terrorists in the UK and the US be released from prisons under humanitarian and social justice rights.   

It is only a matter of time, all the Islamic organizations here within the United States ban together and declare the call to jihad. It’s happening in the UK, and it is not far behind for us.

The Rise Of Muslim Extremism Is Happening, This Time In America.

News flash: Over 30,000 people clash with Capitol Police and the Secret Service using smoke bombs in an attempt to crash through fencing.  Sound familiar? Only this wasn’t the staged Jan 6th 2021, this was June 8th 2024.

Islamic Jihad – the Other Tie that Binds Christians and Jews

It’s the heartless and barbaric history of Muhammad and Islam. It’s also the same present-day contemporary Islam. It’s doctrine and practice that hasn’t changed or abated in 1400+ years.

October 7th? Islamic Jihad. In more than one place the Koran describes Jews as “apes and swines”, a slur that supposedly is meant to refer to the ancient Jews who refused to convert. However, it is still used today by imams, by Jew-hating writers, on Palestinian Authority TV and most recently, in a Fatah broadcasted message two days after the terrorist attack on October 7th – “‘[s]trike the sons of apes of pigs… slaughter everyone who is Israeli’”

Add to this that in the Hadith, the examples and sayings of Muhammad, who Allah says all Muslims must emulate, Islamists learn that “[t]he Hour [end of time when Islam will rule the world] will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say”.O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him”.

The same hadith is still in vogue, included in a circular distributed by the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Religious Affairs two weeks after the October 7th massacre, to be preached in mosques. And to no surprise, the directive to kill Jews is included in Article 7 of the Hamas 1988 founding document, also referred to as the Hamas Covenant.

Five years after the founding of Hamas, Nihad Awad and Omar Ahmad met in Philadelphia with members of Hamas and then organized CAIR which in 1997, was designated as a foreign terrorist organization. Awad, who in 2014, publicly switched his support from the PLO terrorist group to supporting Hamas, has also voiced his support for the October 7th massacre of Israelis. 

Nihad Awad (center in black jacket) at Murfreesboro mosque with imam Bahloul

“‘A 2023 joint publication by United Nations Watch and the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se) reported that ‘teachers and schools at the UN agency that runs education and social services for Palestinians regularly call for the murder of Jews, and create teaching materials that glorify terrorism, encourage martyrdom, demonize Israelis, and incite anti-Semitism.’”

9/11? Islamic Jihad. No explanation needed.

Islamic murder and persecution of Christians and Jews should come as no surprise; the hatred is embedded in Islamic doctrine taught to children – “O believers! Take neither Jews nor Christians as guardians—they are guardians of each other. Whoever does so will be counted as one of them. Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.”

The seeds of hatred are reinforced in schools and children’s programming.

In 2017, a story in the TN Star ran a story that included a promotional video for Anoor Academy, an Islamic school in Knoxville. At 1:05 of the video there is a row of textbooks titled What Islam Is All About. The TN Star piece includes excerpts from the textbook that denigrate Christians and Jews.

52,000 Christians slaughtered in Benue and other Nigerian states? Islamic Jihad.

In February 2024, Nigerian Christian clergy correctly labeled the “hack[ing] a person to death with a machete” and “…blasting unarmed villagers in the back with an AK-47 as they seek to escape a terrorist raid” – “[i]t is Islamic jihad.”

Islamic persecution of Christians worldwide is dramatically higher.

Does Nigerian Muslim Council Member Zulfat Suara have anything to say about the jihad of her fellow countrymen?

Apparently not. Nigerian born Suara did, however, find time in 2020, to organize a rally in downtown Nashville to protest “political corruption and police brutality” in Nigeria even though Nigeria’s jihadi Boko Haram was slaughtering civilians that same year in a Christmas Eve raid on a Christian village, killing people, burning down a church and abducting a priest.

Suara is now serving her second at-large council term. First elected in 2019, she was heralded as the first Nigerian to be elected to any public office in the U.S. and the first Muslim to be elected to a public office in Tennessee.

Prior to serving on the Council, she led the TN American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) since 2012. While she resigned her leadership role immediately prior to running for the Council, she remains on the AMAC board.

Under her leadership, the AMAC dove head-first into programming with leading anti-Israel agitators including Linda Sarsour, Ash-Lee Henderson and fellow AMAC member Drost Kokoye, helping to normalize antisemitism by pretending that attacking Zionism is simply about criticizing the Israeli government. It is well understood that challenging Zionism is challenging Israel’s right to exist.

As expected, given AMAC’s anti-Zionist agenda, Suara’s AMAC promoted the early pro-Hamas rallies organized by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) held in Nashville following the October 7th attack on Israeli civilians. (Suara served as one of Bernie Sanders’ state campaign chairs. It should also be noted that at this time Suara had already connected with Bernie’s antisemite surrogate Linda Sarsour and Jew-hating Rashda Tlaib who along with super Jew-hater Ilhan Omar were all supporting Bernie).

One of the earliest DSA organized rallies included signs with swastikas and the “river to the sea” chanting which calls for the elimination of Jews and the Jewish homelandWhile Israelis were still reeling from the October 7th unprovoked jihadi barbarism of mutilating women, cutting a fetus from a mother still alive and then killing the baby in front of her, decapitating and shooting people of all ages including children, all documented with photographs and video from the cameras of captured Hamas and civilian Palestinians who joined the massacre, AMAC was making sure that Jew haters in Nashville were informed about their protest rights.

WARNING – videos 2 & 3 contain extremely upsetting and graphic information

I

In keeping with its self-described victim status upon which AMAC was founded, they quickly advised schools to watch out for bullying or any form of discrimination against Muslim and Arab students.

According to the TN Star, Suara has refused to condemn Hamas and apparently has made no mention of the hostages including baby Kfir.

It doesn’t appear that Suara who is involved in a slew of WOMEN identified groups including the Tennessee Women’s March, a leadership role in the National Women’s Political Caucus and is an inductee to the Women’s Hall of Fame, has spoken out about the sexual violence and extreme brutality against women during the October 7th massacre. The virtually indescribable savagery of the terrorists has been well documented.

http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAr9oGSXgak

Barely a month after the slaughter in Israel, AMAC was promoting a “ceasefire now peace rally” to tell Congress to “stop funding and supporting genocide” and another rally encouraging the wearing of the keffiyah, a symbol of Jew hatred which Palestinian cowards use to cover their faces while they attack Jews overseas and here in the U.S.

More recently, Suara was the prime Metro Council sponsor of a ceasefire resolution promoted by the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), an organization whose focus is to turn Americans against Israel. The USCPR also has troubling ties to Tennessee.

Suara’s ceasefire resolution

Suara’s ceasefire resolution includes a healthy dose of Hamas-inspired propaganda including the reference to and use of the Gaza Health Ministry (GHM) alleged death toll of women and children even though the numbers have come under scrutiny. Even the U.S. House through a bipartisan amendment is trying to block the State Department from using the Gaza Health Ministry data. The amendment passed with 62 Democrats voting yes. No action yet in the U.S. Senate.

Suara’s resolution repeatedly attempts to draw a nation state equivalency between Israel and “Palestine”. While Israel has been a State recognized by the U.S. government since 1948, there has never been a “State of Palestine” nor does one exit in present day. The region referred to as Palestine preceding the declaration of the State of Israel was a British run mandate which was established following World War I.

Just as Suara has refused to condemn Hamas, neither does her resolution, despite the fact that Hamas has vowed to repeat October 7th over and over again until all Jews are dead and Israel destroyed. Instead, Suara validates Hamas by citing it’s U.S. counterpart CAIR’s allegations of Islamophobia. FBI statistics consistently show hate crimes against Jews dwarf anti-Muslim activity.

Suara’s resolution fails to mention that Hamas is a U.S. designated foreign terrorist organization and that video has documented Arab civilians killing alongside the uniform-clad Hamas terrorists.

Anti-Israel bias drips from the resolution characterizing Israel as “retaliat[ing] for these attacks by bombing Gaza” when in fact, Israel has been clear from the start that the goal was to rescue the hostages and eliminate the Hamas terrorist entity – not, to take revenge on the civilians in Gaza even though polls show that sadly, Hamas has wide support from the people.

And if the bias and lack of credibility of Suara’s resolution wasn’t enough to have it tossed, it’s direct tie to the anti-Zionist, Jew-hating U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) may have caused it to be withdrawn. The USCPR was formerly known as the U.S. Campaign to End the Occupation.

Author and social media influencer Alyssa Rosenheck exposed the fact that Suara’s resolution was “a template taken from the USCPR website, a group funneling tax-exempt donations to Palestinian organizations, including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other U.S.-designated terrorist groups.

Suggested Viewing & Reading: Watch my previous reel and read Tablet’s article, “BDS Umbrella Group Linked to Palestinian Terrorist Organizations.” StandWithUs.com also has a great fact sheet exposing USCPR.”

The USCPR promotes a significant part of its anti-Israel agenda in the municipal arena including action involving the local governing body. Hamas’ October 7th attack on Israel has been factually perverted by the USCPR into a “stop the genocide ceasefire now” campaign complete with a toolkit to run the false narrative campaign through city council resolutions.

Just like the one that Suara sponsored.

USCPR’s connections to Tennessee

In 2014, former Jerusalem Fund (JF) director Yousef Munayyer left to run the USCPR.

Samar Ali’s father Subhi Ali has served on the JF board since 2000, and has led as the JF chairman since 2005. Samar serves as Suara’s campaign treasurer.

From its founding the JF was opposed to the creation of the State of Israel. As early as 2003, the JF was labeling Israel an apartheid state guilty of ethnic cleansing (of Palestinians) spreading one of the many lies told by political propagandists seeking to delegitimize and target the Jewish homeland.

Munayyer was also very public in his anti-Israel pro-BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) advocacy.

Subhi Ali helped intensify the attacks on Israel with help from Omar Barghouti, co-founder of the BDS movement and with speakers like “Israeli-Arab Knesset member, Haneen Zoabi who compared Israel to Germany in the 1930s, claimed Israel has no right to exist as a Jewish state and suggested that Israeli-Arab members of the Knesset should work to undermine the State of Israel from within.”

The current JF director Ahmad Abuznaid has elevated and expanded the propagandist attack on Israel through his connections with the Movement 4 Black Lives (M4BL) and Black Lives Matter.  Abuznaid, co-founder of a group called “Dream Defenders” has been running trips for BLMers to help them solidify their extreme antisemitism. He also helped draft the M4BL anti-Israel policy platform with Suara’s Tennessee-bred anti-Israel basher Ash-Lee Henderson.

Ash-Lee Henderson & Abuznaid

 

The M4BL is responsible for a policy platform which asserts that Israel is an apartheid state, is “complicit in the genocide taking place against the Palestinian people”, that homes of Palestinians and land “are routinely bulldozed to make way for illegal Israeli settlements”,  and that “Israeli soldiers also regularly arrest and detain Palestinians as young as 4 years old without due process. Everyday, Palestinians are forced to walk through military checkpoints along the US funded apartheid wall.”

The carry-over from Abuznaid’s learn-to-hate-the-Jew trips, is to spread this hostility into U.S. churches. He has been somewhat successful pushing the Marxist intersectional Black-Palestinian Solidarity agenda with the more left-leaning Methodists and their Federation for Social Action. (BTW, when you open this link you will see TN Rep. Justin Jones’ buddy William Barber all in with this stuff).

Under Suara’s leadership of AMAC Ash-Lee Henderson was a featured speaker to attack Zionism. Henderson  has also teamed up with Abuznaid to help normalize this newest form of antisemitism.

Zulfat’s campaign treasurer Samar Ali, daughter of Jerusalem Fund chairman says she’s worried about Christians in Gaza

Before Suara’s ceasefire resolution was withdrawn, she attempted to defend it on a public Metro Council discussion board. During the discussion, Suara wrote – “An interesting add was from my friend Samar who suggested that the resolution should mention Palestinian Christians whose voices are sometimes forgotten in this conflict.”

If Suara wants to credibly bring up Palestinian Christians then she must acknowledge the work of Rev. Naim Ateek, Sabeel, and Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA).

Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center (Sabeel), founded by Ateek in 1990, is a Palestinian Christian organization based in Jerusalem which opposes Christian Zionism, pushes anti-Israel advocacy in churches and promotes the BDS movement among other anti-Israel campaigns.

Ateek helped formulate “Palestinian liberation theology” and described Hamas as “an Islamic liberation theology movement.” In other words, Palestinian victims must be liberated from the Israeli oppressor under which they are forced to exist. No different than Suara, Sabeel does not waste its time on the persecution of Christians living in Muslim majority countries, Muslim radicalism, or the terrorism, suicide-bombings and rocket attacks perpetrated by Hamas against Jewish civilians.

FOSNA carries Sable’s anti-Israel work into U.S. churches to turn them against Israel. Currently, the extreme Jew-hating FOSNA is spreading disinformation regarding the atrocities of the October 7th. Denying the deep doctrinal roots of Islamic jihad, FOSNA believes that if Hamas were just welcomed into the political process, then Hamas would “moderate” its position and peace would be achieved. In 2013, FOSNA was added to the Anti-Defamation League’s top ten list of anti-Israel organizations in the U.S.

To no surprise, Suara’s promoted anti-Israel event speaker Ash-Lee Henderson has also been a speaker for FOSNA.

Rather than the biased and false narrative resolution sponsored by Suara, the Metro Nashville Council would benefit from education acknowledging that Islamic jihad is the source of death and persecution for both Jews and Christians. Nashville leaders of good conscience should take the next step and publicly acknowledge that this current day doctrine is responsible for October 7th and the continuing massacre of African Christians.
