First Bill Lee and Now Lamar Get on “The Peace Train”

 “Now, I’ve been happy lately
Thinkin’ about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun.
Oh, I’ve been smilin’ lately
Dreamin’ about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Some day it’s going to come
‘Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train.
Oh, peace train take this country.
Come take me home again.”

“Peace Train” was released in 1971, by Cat Stevens who converted to Islam six years later, taking the name Yusuf Islam.

Taking that “peace train” message to heart, Bill Lee held multiple meetings with Tennessee’s Islamists, the second one just days before his inauguration.

Now shoeless Lamar broke bread with them at the Islamic Center of Nashville (ICN) mosque headquarters. Kinda reminds you of Obama’s pandering “bend over and take it” in Saudi Arabia.

               Shoeless Lamar

The question we have for Lamar and his cracker-jack team, is the same one we posed for the newly-minted Lee administration – do they know what we know about this mosque, its leadership and the people they are pandering to? And if they don’t know, why not? And if they do know, why are they giving a veneer of legitimacy to the taqiyya of these Islamist leaders?

ICN Still Connected to a Muslim Brotherhood Organizationatioiizatio

The ICN purchased its property in 1982, on what is now 12th Avenue South, with help of a generous donation from Muslim convert Cat Stevens. Some of the mosque’s founding members from Egypt were attending Vanderbilt University.

In 1995, ICN began an open and formal relationship with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).

ISNA is one of the 29 organizations specifically named in the 1991 Muslim Brotherhood Explanatory Memorandum detailing the plan of “…dismantling American institutions and turning the U.S. into a Muslim nation.”

ISNA was later named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing prosecution, the single largest case of its kind in which several individuals were successfully prosecuted for helping to funnel millions to HAMAS, a U.S. designated terrorist organization.

The ICN located at 2515 12th Ave. South, shares the same address with ISNA as listed on taxexemptworld.com

On other documents, the ICN shares a P.O. Box 120953 with ISNA.

The warranty deeds for two of ICN’s four properties – its private Islamic school The Nashville International Academy and the other which appears to be a cemetery, list the P.O. Box 120953 in place of the scratched out of the mosque’s 2515 12th Ave. South address.

The same P.O. Box number was listed on the ICN’s listing on the Tennessee Secretary of State website in 2009.

 The same P.O. Box number is also listed on a bank direct deposit form previously posted on the ICN website.

The ICN has also linked itself to ISNA through Nashville community activities. For example, in February 2010, ICN, along with other Nashville mosques, partnered with ISNA for a two day conference titled “Awakening the Leader Within”.

One of the featured ISNA speakers was Louay Safi, Director of Communications and Leadership Development, who has his own “interesting” pedigree. In February 2010, Safi who had been contracted by the DoD to lecture troops at Fort Hood on Islam, was suspended from this work after his association with organizations involved in funding    terrorism were documented.

Another notorious individual associated with the ICN is the Little Rock jihadi Carlos Bledsoe from Memphis. When he converted to Islam, he took the name of the former Imam of the ICN, Abdulhakim Mohamed, who is believed to have been his mentor. This Yemeni Imam served as at the ICN from 1999 until 2007.

Abdulhakim Mohamed served the radical Brooklyn Al Farooq mosque for three years until coming to Nashville. His Brooklyn mosque was called the “al-Qaeda mosque” because in the 1980’s and 90’s it was a conduit for al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and had a documented history of raising money for terrorists. It is also the same mosque attended by the “blind sheik” who was convicted in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

This Imam is featured in the “Losing Our Sons” documentary about the radicalization of his mentee, jihadi Carlos Bledsoe who executed Pvt. Andrew Long at the Little Rock Army Recruiting Center. If you haven’t watched it, you should and it can be viewed in its entirety on youtube.

Regarding the U.S. in the film the Imam says, “This country will not be the richest country on earth because it is the worst country on earth.”

Regarding Christians he says, “Christians have lost much of their basics and tenets of faith. The truth of Christianity was lost at its earliest stages.” …Tomorrow they’ll celebrate Christmas assuming that Christ is a god or son of god. There is no greater lie than this. The greatest lie of all time.”

Regarding Jews he says, “Jews believe that everyone created on the face of the earth was only created for their service. They became as vicious as the Pharoah throughout history til today. The true evil today is the existence of one state [Israel].” “Aren’t we this near for a mass battle and war against the Jews? Aren’t they gathering themselves in Palestine?”

This same Imam spent approximately eight years at the University of Madinah in Saudi Arabia, then returned to Yemen to work managing Islamic schools and other educational programs. He was the Imam that helped the ICN launch its private Islamic school called the Nashville International Academy. This school will be eligible to accept state funded school vouchers under Governor Bill Lee’s new program.

ICN lay leaders

The ICN’s spokesman during Imam Abdulhakim Mohamed’s tenure, was Awadh Binhazim whose dawa (proselytizing) organization called “Olive Tree Education,” promoted online writings by Anwar Al Awlaki, a top propagandist and recruiter for al-Qaeda.

Three of the founding members of the American Muslims Advisory Council (AMAC) collaborated with Binhazim; Kamel Daouk was the Olive Tree treasurer, Daoud Abudiab, proselytized with Binhazim, and Rashed Fakhruddin served with Binhazim on the ICN Shura Council. The Shura Council is a group of men considered of high standing in the community who act essentially as an informal “court” to carry out Sharia law.

Now serving as ICN’s president, Fakhruddin has put the ICN dawa on steroids.

Daoud Abudiab went on to chair the board of TIRRC and establish his own dawa-style organization called the Faith and Culture Center.

Binhazim also served as the volunteer Muslim chaplain at Vanderbilt. During a Vanderbilt Muslim Student Association (MSA) program he confirmed that Islamic law mandates capital punishment for homosexuality. When he was asked whether he accepted or rejected the Islamic punishment for homosexuality, Binhazim also confirmed, that “as a Muslim he does not have a choice of whether to accept or reject what Islam teaches.”

Binhazim was president of a CAIR chapter in Texas before coming to Nashville. He and Imam Abdulhakim Mohamed later collaborated in launching a website called muslimnama.org

The next two Imams were trained to push sharia as a complete way of life – for everyone.

Imam Ahmed Mohammed was ICN’s next Imam. He graduated from Al-Ahzar University in Cairo, the institution which stands for the propagation of Islam and Sharia as a complete way of life.

Al-Ahzar is closely tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and is credited with starting the Islamist movement with training from Islamic radicals.

In the spring of 2011, this ICN Imam gave a lecture in Nashville in which he defended the Egyptian police forced virginity tests reportedly performed on female protesters in Tahrir Square that year. He also talked about honor killings and confirmed that they do occur throughout the Muslim world.

In its ongoing mission to radicalize Muslims young and old in Tennessee, during Imam Ahmed Mohammed’s tenure, the ICN sponsored an event at Vanderbilt featuring two American converts to Islam (or as they prefer to call them, “reverts”), Zaid Shakir and Shaykh Hamza Yusuf. They co-founded Zaytuna College, an unaccredited Islamic postsecondary school in the U.S.

True to form, Shakir who says no Muslim can be a terrorist, is a popular speaker with U.S. Muslim Brotherhood organizations such as CAIR, ISNA and the Muslim Students Association.

He professes to the same end goal of the Muslim Brotherhood – to see the “day in which America is a Muslim country ruled by Islamic law.” And consistent with the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan as laid out in its 1991 Explanatory Memorandum, he sees organizing Muslims in this country as the way to accomplish this objective.

Shakir understands the political leverage gained by remaining separate and apart from American society by claiming a religious-based moral superiority. He reinforces this by asserting that “American society ‘is sinful and constitutes open rebellion against Allah.’”

He also tells the college crowds that in the perfect sharia-based society “the kafir won’t be equal with the Muslim. The Christian or the Jew will be a dhimmi [second-class citizen]. They won’t be equal with the Muslim.”

ICN’s current Imam

The current Imam Ossama Bahloul moved from the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro (ICM) where he started in 2008. He is also a graduate of Al-Azhar and has a degree in dawa; his thesis was the establishment of a dawah curriculum aimed at secularists, atheists, Christians, Jews, and Muslims.

    Lamar, Fakhruddin, Bahloul and ???

Al-Azhar being the preeminent teaching center of sharia law, authenticated the English translation of sharia law called “The Reliance of the Traveller, A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law.”

It used to be a simple matter of finding the complete volume of “Reliance of the Traveller”(ROT) on-line to read and download but once the kafir public became aware of the book and its contents, a deliberate effort was made by Islamists (?) to eliminate access to what sharia law experts agree sharia law says on all aspects of a Muslim’s life.

A full copy is available under the tab up top “Education Material” on the Dailyrollcall website.

ROT includes just about everything you can think of, for example:

ROT o8.2
“Apostasy from Islam. In such a case, it is obligatory for the caliph to ask him to repent and to return to Islam. If he does, it is accepted from him, but if he refuses, he is immediately killed.”

ROT L10.3
A son and daughter who are siblings “of the same generation as her and of the same strength (N: i.e. both are full or half siblings)… the male receives the portion of two females.”

ROT o17.4
“A husband is entitled to discipline his wife for not giving him his rights (def: m5.1).”
ROT m5.1
“It is obligatory for a woman to let her husband have sex with her immediately when:
(a) he asks her;
(b) at home
(c) and she can physically endure it.
(d) another condition that should be added is that her marriage payment has
been received or deferred to a term not yet expired.
As for when sex with her is not possible, such that having it would entail manifest harm to her, then she is not obliged to comply. If she asks him to wait, she is awaited to a maximum of three days.”

ROT m13.3
“It is offensive to send one’s children to a day-care center run by non-Muslims. It is unlawful to send Muslim children to Christian schools, or those which are designedly atheist, though it is not unlawful to send them to public schools in which religion is not mentioned (N: in a way that threatens the students’ belief in Islam).”

Lamar gets same disinformation that is provided to Metro school students

From the pictures it looks like the same person, Dina Sirois, operations director of the ICN, gave Lamar the same talk about the “beliefs and practices in Islam” that she gave to Nashville Meigs Middle School students in October 2018.

An audio recording of Sirois’ October 2018, slide presentation is posted on the The Tennessee Star website.

The ICN has been especially aggressive in its proselytizing of Islam to public school students, Vanderbilt athletic teams, other religious groups and now, politicians. Rashed Fakhruddin, the president of the ICN is also a founding member of the AMAC whose members were specially trained by an organization collaborating with the Muslim Brotherhood plan to proselytize in public schools.

Former ICN Youth director, Sabina Mohyuddin, a founding member of AMAC who now serves as its program manager, attended the meal with Lamar. Per her own presentation in 2013, Mohyuddin cited to several “organizations that help American Muslims stay true to their religious values while being uniquely American.”

Mohyuddin’s choices? The Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) and the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA).

Along with Al-Ahzar, the FCNA authenticated the English translation of the “Reliance of the Traveller, the Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law” cited above. Any number of FCNA members have been arrested, deported and named as unindicted co-conspirators in connection with terrorist activities. All are connected in some manner to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Her other choice, ICNA, was also named in the 1991 Muslim Brotherhood plan for North America and is known for its aggressive dawa in public schools.

AMAC continues to perpetuate the lie of the “anti-sharia” bill to justify its proselytizing of Islam, its aggressive political activity and its efforts to censor and stop all critical speech as “Islamophobic.”

What they call the “anti-sharia bill” was actually a material support bill based on the jihad perpetrated by Carlos Bledsoe. The bill language specifically was addressed to individuals supporting the commission of a terrorist act and specifically said that it did not apply to “the peaceful practice of any religion.” The bill defined the term “sharia,” precisely the way jihadist terrorists define it because the bill was directed at criminalizing support for terrorist acts.

We can only guess that the real reason AMAC didn’t like the bill is because there’s only one definition of sharia used by both violent jihadis and political jihadis. So who is hijacking whose religion?

Remember – They Are Political Leftists First and Theology-Perverting Clergy Second

Remember – They Are Political Leftists First and Theology-Perverting Clergy SecondSharia-supporting clergy in Tennessee are rampant in all denominations, including Catholics, Protestants and Jews. They push the interfaith propaganda of how we all pray to the same god and all are part of the “family of Abraham.”

The Pope has permitted Islamic prayers and reading from the Koran in the Vatican. Catholic Charities of Tennessee, paid handsomely by the federal government for their “charitable” work, has filled our cities with Islamists who want all manner of sharia-adherent accommodations in the public arena.

Catholic Charities of Tennessee can also take credit for helping sharia-adherent Islamists become politically equipped with sufficient population density to try and elect their first candidate for the Nashville Metro Council with their “My Muslim Vote” campaign.

Starting in 2011, Nashville’s leftist Jewish leaders Avi Poster and Irwin Venick, organized the first “Family of Abraham” event. It was held at the uber-liberal uber-elitist private University School. (This private school was started years ago by Vanderilt University). The program featured a speaker from the Reform Judaism Religious Action Center (RAC), an organization all about social justice. Reform Judaism is the most extreme liberal branch of the religious group.

To get an idea of what the reform Jews care about, in 2017, the program director of the RAC along with other clergy, helped bless the opening of a DC Planned Parenthood center.

The next “Family of Abraham” event was organized by Jewish and Methodist leaders in Nashville and held at the West End United Methodist Church in Nashville. This time, they featured Muslim Brotherhood’s ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) National Director, Office of Interfaith and Community Alliances, Sayyid Syeed.

ISNA says the United Methodist Church (UMC) is its ally – “both working together in campaigning for social justice, peace and equity.’” This 2010 statement from ISNA was made in reference to the Chicago area UMC call to support the UMC’s involvement in the BDS (boycott, divestment & sanctions) campaign from Israel.

Nashville’s Temple Ohabai Shalom’s assistant Rabbi Shana Mackler and UMC Rev. Judi Hoffman, were part of the 2012, interfaith panel hosted by Lipscomb University which featured the Islamic Network Group (ING) presentation on women’s rights and Shariah.

The ING, a group affiliated with CAIR, ISNA and the dawah-centric ICNA (Islamic Circle of North America), was brought to Tennessee by AMAC to train them on how to go into schools to talk about Islam. Hijab-wearing Kurdish refugee Jihan Abdulla, sister of politically aggressive Islamist Kasar Abdulla, was quoted as saying she had more rights than American women. Go figure that one.

Rabbi Mackler is a proud supporter of Planned Parenthood, helping the organization to use her temple to hold its fundraiser in 2015. She makes no bones about performing illegal gay marriages at her house of worship – “The issue of gay marriage is something that really hits home for Shana. When she was in college, her father came out to her.”

Given her uber progressive and Islamist-apologist stances, it’s no surprise that rabbi Mackler spoke at this year’s Nashville Women’s March vowing to stand alongside AMAC leader Zulfat Suara who has openly embraced Jew-haters Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.

Mackler speaks at Nashville Women’s March

https://www.facebook.com/PowerTogetherTN/videos/vb.189501244856312/227440634805308/?type=2&theater

Remember also, that the Women’s March was started by Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory who have come under fire for supporting Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, a notorious anti-Semite who has praised Hitler and described Jews as “satanic.” They also can’t get past their inbred anti-Semitism to say whether the State of Israel and its Jews have a right to exist.

The Nashville Women’s March is listed as a chapter of the Sarsour/Mallory march organization.

Mackler may have proved herself to be one of the most outrageous examples of having turned against her own people in favor of Islamist embracers of Jew-haters.

The rabbi and her husband, James Mackler, are endorsing Zulfat Suara for the Metro Nashville Council.

This is important to know for many reasons. The main reason is that James Mackler, uber progressive Democrat, is running for Lamar Alexander’s seat. Being the obedient “company man,” Mackler withdrew from the last Senate race after Phil Bredesen announced that he would run.

As if the world of religion and politics couldn’t get any more upside-down or any more sinister.

AMAC Board Member Welcomed Anti-Semites Ilhan Omar and Rep. Pramila Jayapal to Nashville

It’s looking more and more like 2016 was the start of TN’s American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) love affair with anti-Semites. 2016 was the year that anti-Semite Linda Sarsour was featured at an AMAC event. That same year Ilhan Omar and her radically progressive anti-Semite defender, Pramila Jayapal were brought into AMAC’s circle of friends.

2016, was the year Omar was elected to the Minnesota state legislature and Jayapal moved up from the Washington state legislature to the U.S. House of Representatives.

This is the same year that AMAC’s Board member, Somali agitator Mohamed Shukri Hassan, welcomed Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal to a home-based gathering in East Nashville.

Shukri Hassan met Jayapal and Omar in Nashville

Shukri Hassan attended the January 10, 2019, meeting with Governor-elect Lee.

Like Omar, Shukri Hassan got into the U.S. via the refugee resettlement program. Both of them grew up benefitting from the goodies generous Americans make available to refugees. Yet both of them are steeped in disdain for this America and American conservatives who ascribe to Judeo-Christian principles.

In fact, sharia adherent Omar and Hassan hate us so much that they have devoted their lives to changing our country.

Before launching her legislative career, Ilhan Omar was a board member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s CAIR-Minnesota organization. Shukri Hassan was president of the Muslim Student Association (MSA) while he was a student at TN State University. The MSA was one of the first Muslim Brotherhood organizations established in the U.S.

Being an anti-Semite comes naturally to sharia and Muslim Brotherhood followers.

CAIR’s connections to U.S. designated terrorist group HAMAS have been established with credible evidentiary documentation in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism prosecution. Since its founding, HAMAS has remained committed to a singular purpose – the elimination of the State of Israel and genocide for its Jews through violent jihad.

A lawsuit revived in federal court last year has exposed details about the connections of the U.S. HAMAS support network and certain Islamist organizations including the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP). It was the leaders of IAP who founded CAIR.

Nihad Awad, CAIR’s national executive director has stated publicly that he supports HAMAS. Prior to forming CAIR, Awad was the president of IAP.

AMAC’s Shukri Hassan arrived in Tennessee in 2006. His mother was the first to arrive in the U.S. as a refugee and was resettled in Georgia. After Shukri Hassan and his six siblings were able to join her, they all relocated to Tennessee.

Shortly after finishing high school, Shukri Hassan joined TIRRC (TN Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition) to learn the ins and outs of being a leftist agitator and working as a “Welcoming TN Coordinator” speaking to Chambers of Commerce and Rotary clubs.

At the same time, Shukri Hassan worked as an Outreach Coordinator for the Metro Public Health Department as a caseworker for the now-defunct Center for Refugees & Immigrants of Tennessee (CRIT).

CRIT was originally named the Somali Community Center but changed its name after its Executive Director, Abdirizak Hassan pled guilty to federal grant fraud. The federal charge relates back to his indictment in 2001 for felony illegal banking. Prior to serving as ED of the Somali Community Center/CRIT, Hassan ran a hawala money changing business which counter-terrorism investigators was linked to a bank service linked to al-Qaeda.

Before Shukri Hassan began serving as a Board member and the Program Director for AMAC, he took a fellowship with AMAC’s sister organization, the American Center for Outreach (ACO). The ACO
was started by a Kurdish refugee who was a former lobbyist for TIRRC.

After she left, ACO was led by former CAIR director, Paul “Iesa” Galloway.

AMAC may not call itself CAIR, but it operates same way using the same tactics.

U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal who traveled with Ilhan Omar to the house party in East Nashville, has a special soft spot for Somalis like Omar and Shukri Hassan.

Before she got into politics, first as a state Senator and then polluting the U.S. House of Representatives with her radical progressive politics, she led a leftist organization called the Hate Free Zone Campaign of Washington (state). In 2003, under her leadership, the organization stopped the deportation of Somali criminals and visa overstayers in the U.S.

Incredibly, the judge in the case remarked that “the government had provided no concrete evidence to support the notion that al-Qaida is active in Somalia, or that there is any connection at all between the Somalis and terrorism.”

FBI statistics show that the district Ilhan Omar represents in Congress, has the highest rate of terrorist recruitment in the United States.

Like Omar, Jayapal is a strident and shrill opponent of President Trump and his policies about importing more refugees from terror-prone countries.

Jayapal is currently the co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) which Ilhan Omar joined as soon as she was elected to the U.S. House.

It was through the arm-twisting efforts of the CPC and the Black Congressional Caucus that forced Pelosi to allow the anti-semitism resolution to be highjacked away from Omar’s relentless Jew-hating speech so that she and her fellow Islamists somehow became the victims.

Only 23 Republicans – none from Tennessee by the way – had the moral and political fortitude to vote against the resolution.

Across the board, Tennessee Republican House members voted FOR a resolution that legitimized the myth of Islamophobia, avoided any condemnation of Ilhan Omar, and deflected from the bigger problem of anti-Semitism.

Tennessee Republicans that voted FOR the resolution (because they were too scared to be called racists?) – Tim Burchett, Scott DeJarlais, Chuck Fleischmann, Mark Green, David Kustoff, Phil Roe and John Rose.

Do these guys have any idea what’s really going on in their own state?????

Samar Ali Working For Metro Council Candidate Who Publicly Embraces Anti-Semites

Straight lines and connections coming at us in every direction!

It starts with Gov-elect Bill Lee’s second meeting with the TN American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) just days before his inauguration.

The photo from that meeting included Samar Ali which was noted to be a little strange since she has not been known to publicly affiliate with the AMAC hijab wearing crowd. It’s true that even though Samar was born in the U.S. and raised in Waverly, Tennessee, she desperately clings to a Middle Eastern identity.

When Samar was an undergraduate student at Vanderbilt, Ali co-founded the Middle Eastern Students Association because, as she said, “I will always be Arab and I will always be American and I will always be Muslim… My parents always taught us to never forget where we came from and to never forget where we are now.”

While Ali identifies herself and her family as Arabs and Muslim, she reserves the American identity part for herself. Her mother immigrated to the U.S. from Syria and her father is a Palestinian from Ramallah, the city where Yasser Arafat, leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) established his headquarters.

From its founding, the PLO was committed to the destruction of the State of Israel and only decided to follow a political course when acts of terrorism against civilians didn’t achieve the desired outcome.

Ali’s father, Subhi Ali appears to have brought his Jew-hatred with him when he came to the U.S.

Not much is known about Subhi Ali’s political activities prior to him joining the leadership of the Jerusalem Fund, an organization headquartered in D.C., that pushes an aggressive anti-Israel agenda. Subhi Ali joined the Jerusalem Fund in 2000, became Vice-President in 2004 serving alongside its founder, Hisham Sharabi.

After Sharabi died, Subhi Ali became President of the Board in 2005, a position he still retains.

Sharabi was a supporter of “radical Palestinian terror groups,” and advocated a Palestinian “armed struggle” if necessary, to end “Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.” He described HAMAS as “the true fida’i (self-sacrifice) resistance in Palestine since the outbreak of the Palestinian intifada.

In 1997, the U.S. State Department designated HAMAS as a foreign terrorist organization.

Sharabi was also a board member of WISE (World and Islam Studies Enterprise) which was incorporated and led by Sami al-Arian who was sent to prison in 2006, and deported 9 years later because of his leadership of the U.S.-designated terrorist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

WISE was funded by the Muslim Brotherhood’s IIIT (International Institute of Islamic Thought). Tarik Hamdi, identified as an officer/staff member of WISE, is listed in a federal affidavit as providing material support to Al-Qaeda, Bin Laden and the PIJ. He left WISE to work for IIIT.

WISE served as the U.S. money-receiving front for PIJ and while Sharabi was a board member, funneled payments to the PIJ martyrs through the Islamic International Arab Bank (Arab Bank).

Later on, Samar Ali was an intern in Amman, Jordan, for the Arab Bank during the time that a lawsuit had been filed against the bank alleging that the bank was managing the funding of payments to the families of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) martyrs.

As early as 2003, the Jerusalem Fund was labeling Israel an apartheid state guilty of ethnic cleansing (of Palestinians) – just one of the many lies told by political propagandists seeking to delegitimize and target the Jewish homeland.

The Jeruslaem Fund’s former Executive Director Yousef Munayyer was explicit in his anti-Israel pro-BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) advocacy. When asked by Sean Hannity, Munayyer did not answer the question, “Is HAMAS a terrorist organization?”

Munayyer left the Jerusalem Fund in 2014, to direct 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.

Under Subhi Ali’s leadership, the Jerusalem Fund has intensified it’s anti-Israel attacks with help from Omar Barghouti, co-founder of the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.

The most important thing to understand about BDS is that it is being used to make anti-Semitism once again acceptable in civil society.

Today’s BDS is fueled by anti-Semitic rhetoric from agitators who openly attack Zionism, the movement that helped to establish the State of Israel. BDS’ers deceptively embed their purported objectives in language about social justice and human rights, but at the same time, call for a genocide of the Jewish people. Rallying around their mantra “Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea” BDS’ers want no Israel or Jews to exist between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Ocean.

Jew-haters like Linda Sarsour, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib proudly push BDS. They are the Jew-haters publicly and personally embraced by the TN American Muslim Advisory Council and its chairman, Zulfat Suara, here, here, here and here.

Samar is picking up the threads of her father’s anti-Jew agenda by helping anti-Semite embracer Zulfat Suara, get elected to the Metro Nashville City Council.

Samar Ali working for Zulfat

At least one Tennessee conservative thinks Samar Ali is a “superstar.”

AMAC Chair Zulfat Suara Taking Lessons From Dishonest (and Jew-hating) Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib?

Like a silly schoolgirl with a crush, TN American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) Chair Zulfat Suara gushes over Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar:

Neither Tlaib nor Omar’s suspect circumstances or their open hatred of all things Jewish and Israel have dimmed Zulfat Suara’s admiration and desire to BE. JUST. LIKE. THEM.

According to Big League Politics, Rashida Tlaib is Haunted by Fake Residence Scandal for having “lied about her address on her voter registration — a crime — and kicked off her entire political career with the lie.”

“Michigan Democrat congresswoman Rashida Tlaib registered to vote from a false address, and represented a state House district that she did not actually live in, according to credit score and property records obtained by Big League Politics. Tlaib’s own father even said that Tlaib ‘lied’ about her address in order to run for office.”

So far, over 287,000 people have signed a petition to impeach Tlaib for lying her way into office.

Ilhan Omar’s problems with truthfulness began shortly after winning the Democratic primary for a seat in the Minnesota state legislature. Minneapolis attorney Scott Johnson broke the story about Omar’s suspected immigration fraud related to having married her brother.

Johnson has preserved and posted screen shots from the Somalipost website where comments “suggest that the information [confirming Omar’s immigration and marriage irregularities], is something of an open secret in the Somali community.”

Omar calls it all “disgusting lies” and “broadly denied the allegations in a statement to The Associated Press, but declined to provide documents or answer specific questions when pressed.”

And to further divert anyone from exposing the truth around these issues, Omar drew on the reliable race card – “she believes the claims are being made by people who want to stop a black, female Muslim from sitting in Congress.”

Well, isn’t that convenient.

While Zulfat openly admires Omar, it looks like she may be taking notes from Tlaib’s playbook.

Does the timing of Zulfat’s Metro Council launch and purchase of property or even residing in Davidson County have weird similarities to Tlaib’s recent troubles?

Zulfat announced her campaign for an at-large Metro Council seat during the January 19, 2019, Nashville Women’s March. Eligible candidates for this position are required to be a resident of Davidson County for at least one year.

Zulfat, her husband and her daughter Zainab Suara co-owned a townhouse in Nashville which they sold December 31, 2018.

A Davidson County property record shows Zulfat and her husband purchasing an address in Davidson County on July 11, 2018 for $650,000 which looked to be a home under construction.

The mailing address for that property’s tax bill is in Bolivar, Tennessee where Zulfat and her family have lived since 2002 and where the bill is addressed.

On January 17 2019, Zulfat and her husband sold the house in Bolivar but Zulfat’s Davidson County tax bill was still being mailed to the Bolivar address. Add to this that the deed transferring the house under construction in Davidson County to Zulfat and her husband is dated July 11, 2018.

But the real problem for Zulfat may be the May 2019 qualifying date for the Metro at-large candidates. The question she has to answer is whether in May 2018, she was a resident of Davidson County.

When the rules say a candidate for a Metro Council at-large seat is supposed to be a resident of Davidson County for at least one year, does that mean that they have to actually live in the county or can they just co-own a townhouse with a daughter or own a house under construction?

Governor Lee Leans Left…Again

The signs were all there even before he was elected.

When asked to state his position about boys with penises who want to be girls and insist on using the girl’s bathroom, Lee wouldn’t take a position claiming instead, that a statewide policy on transgender bathrooms “is not in the best interest of Tennesseans,” it’s divisive and destructive and…that’s government intervention into areas of life that I don’t think we ought to intervene”… “I’m not advocating for or against a transgender bathroom bill.”

Now we understand that Lee protects the left’s agenda because he told us that “he represents everyone.”

That’s the same excuse he gave for trying to soothe the offended sensitivities of the leftist Jew-haters.

Soothing the left’s thin skin with an I’m-on-my-knees-begging-for-forgiveness mea culpa is probably the reason Lee is admitting his “insensitivity” of having worn a Confederate uniform costume to a college Old South party 40 years ago.

Days before his apology, Lee’s staff said “they were unaware of any photos of the Tennessee governor wearing a Confederate uniform.”

Ummm duh? Do they really think that the press would have asked that question if they didn’t already know there was a picture???? Why not do your homework before opening your mouths?

Then Lee comes out with one of the most ridiculous leftist-styled statements probably written by one of the liberals he put in his administration:

“I never intentionally acted in an insensitive way, but with the benefit of hindsight, I can see that participating in that [the party? wearing the costume?] was insensitive and I’ve come to regret it.”

The Governor’s staff really boofed this one.

Lee also stepped in it big time when he intentionally reached out to meet with the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC), led by Zulfat Suara, the open embracer of Jew-haters Linda Sarsour, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.

Zulfat Suara and Rashida Tlaib

Does Lee and his cracker-jack staff not understand that people like Zulfat who tweet out their admiration for vocal Jew-haters like Sarsour, Tlaib and Omar, are helping to normalize anti-Semitism in this country?

Lucky for “Lefty Lee,” he can take remedial steps.

To atone for the shame the seventh-generation Tennessean has laid on the confederate uniform, he could easily issue an executive order banning Civil War re-enactors from wearing it. He will then have done his part for the left’s agenda to revise the history of this country and of Tennessee.

As to having legitimized Zulfat and her group, Lee owes a much bigger apology to all those “other” Tennesseans he supposedly represents. You know, those voters who believe in the Judeo-Christian principles that founded this country.

Or “Lefty Lee” can remain silent on the issue and stand with other Democrats who refuse to condemn the anti-Semites.

Rashida Tlaib, Zulfat Suara & Bill Lee – oh my!

Governor Lee, it’s even worse than we thought!

Just one month before Bill Lee was actually elected, he met with the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC). Zulfat Suara has been the chair of AMAC for almost seven years.

Lee originally reached out to them in October 2018, to soothe their ruffled feathers after he made a campaign faux-pas when he asked for a picture of his opponent Karl Dean at a “Muslim event.”

Well it looks like there was a meeting in October 2018, shortly after Lee’s phone call to AMAC program manager Sabina Mohyuddin – “Mr. Lee is scheduled to meet with local Muslim leaders for the first time…”. By the time of this meeting, AMAC and Zulfat herself, had already established a close relationship with the aggressive Jew-hater Linda Sarsour.

A few weeks before Lee’s October meeting with AMAC, Zulfat was canoodling with rabid anti-Semite U.S. Congresswoman Rashia Talaib at the September 2018 Muslim Brotherhood ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) annual convention.

Zulfat has been so inspired by Jew-haters Tlaib and Ilhan Omar that she’s running for an at-large Metro Nashville Council seat.

Suara and Tlaib at the September 2018 ISNA conference

Zulfat and Tlaib spoke on the same September 2018 ISNA panel.

Despite Zulfat’s embrace of several of the most vocal Jew-hating women around here and here, after being elected governor, Lee met with Zulfat and her crew for a second time just days before his inauguration.

Who is advising Bill Lee and who in the world is vetting the people he makes time to meet with????

Doesn’t Lee realize that meeting with AMAC in his role as governor stamps this group with a seal of legitimacy?

Perhaps it doesn’t matter to Lee since as he said, that as governor he represents everybody. Guess that includes Jew-haters.

And the next meeting is scheduled for…..???

It Really Does Matter the Company You Keep … and Who the Governor Says He Represents

Governor Lee has justified his two meetings with American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) members because he “represents all Tennesseans.”

Here’s just a little bit more information for Governor Lee to consider if he’s thinking about more meetings with AMAC members.

Zulfat Suara, the chair of AMAC has chosen to embrace known anti-Semites Linda Sarsour, Omar Ilhan and Rashiba Tlaib.

Sarsour has come under fire from former co-leaders of the Women’s March for supporting Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, a notorious anti-Semite who has praised Hitler and described Jews as “satanic.”

Today, Ilhan Omar has been condemned for her anti-Semitic tweets, by fellow Democrat Rep. Eliot Engel, Chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee. Engel is quoted as saying that Omar’s “comments about the role of so-called ‘Jewish money’ in U.S. politics is ‘shocking.’”

And this is not the first anti-Semitic trope tweeted out by Omar.

Even pathetic Pelosi condemned Omar’s comments finding them “deeply offensive” and called on her to issue an apology.

Rashida Tlaib is no better, making no effort to hide her anti-Semitism including tweeting out an age-old slander used against American Jews about dual loyalty with regard to Israel. Add to this her passionate support for the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.

Natan Sharansky, a well-known former Soviet Jew and human rights activist, spent 9 years in a Siberian gulag. Upon his release, he immediately became an Israeli citizen, and eventually served in the Israeli Knesset. One of his duties was to monitor anti-Semitism.

He found the newer version of the classical anti-semitism was directed at Zionism and the State of Israel. BDSers self-righteously allege victimization of the Palestinians by Israel but Sharansky exposed what really drives the BDS campaign in his “three D’s” test for anti-Semitism:
double standards – singling out Israel for criticism while ignoring the more egregious behavior of major human rights abusers in countries like Saudi Arabia, Syria, Sudan, Nigeria, North Korea, China, etc
demonization of Israel – distorting the Jewish State’s actions using false comparisons to Nazis or South Africa’s apartheid regime
delegitimization – denying only Israel’s fundamental right to exist among all other peoples in the world

Zulfat has embraced these women as politicians she seeks to emulate as she herself runs for a Metro Council at-large seat.

We’ll watch to see if Governor Lee takes a third meeting from the group Zulfat leads.

The Jew Haters Lee Supporters Say He Had to Meet With – Part 3

Tennessee’s American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC), Zulfat Suara who attended the second meeting with Bill Lee, is pictured standing to his left.

She is also pictured here standing to the left of renowned anti-Semite Linda Sarsour.

Sarsour so admires Zulfat that when she created the “MPower Change” list of Muslim social justice warriors, Sarsour included Zulfat. Predictably, Zulfat’s list-mates included others with solid anti-Semite credentials including the founder of “Dream Defenders” whose is an admirer of the PLO, an organization known for violence targeting Israeli civilians.

The list also includes California CAIR director Zahra Billoo who has aligned herself and her Jew-hatred with Sarsour, earning them the title, Sisters in Hate.

Hatem Bazian is also admired by Sarsour and included in the list of 100. Bazian is the leader of the most organized national movement founded on and fueled by hatred of all things Israel and Jewish. He co-founded Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), the college campus anti-Jew group. Often referred to as “HAMAS on campus” SJP is responsible for annual anti-Israel activities, intimidation activities against Jewish and pro-Israel students, and pushing Israel boycott resolutions.

Bazian also founded and chairs the national board of the extreme anti-Israel organization American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) which helps train and support SJP activists like Tennessee American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) board member and anti-Semite, Drost Kokoye.

You can read more about Kokoye in Part 1 of this series.

Bazian’s AMP organization is a member of the larger anti-Jew coalition called the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), run by the former leader of Samar Ali father’s D.C. organization. Tablet Magazine has exposed a troubling money relationship between USCPR and U.S. designated foreign terrorist organizations.

Last year ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) presented Zulfat with the Muslim Policy Advocate of the Year award. ISNA, like its fellow travelers, promotes BDS against Israel. Speaking at AMP conferences, ISNA’s vice-president Safaa Zarzour says all Muslim organizations should unite behind BDS.

Sounds just like the maze deliberately created by the Muslim Brotherhood’s Holy Land Foundation prosecuted for funneling money to HAMAS.

Bazian lectures at Zaid Shakir’s Zaytuna College, an institution devoted to shaping young Islamists. Shakir, also on the MPower 100 list, professes to the same end goal of the Muslim Brotherhood – to see the “day in which America is a Muslim country ruled by Islamic law,” He came to Tennessee in 2013, to remind young Islamists like Kokoye sitting at his knee of the supremacy of Islam when he tells them that “if Islam is the basis, the kafir [non-believer] won’t be equal with the Muslim. The Christian or the Jew will be a dhimmi [second-class citizen]. They won’t be equal with the Muslim.”

Zulfat Suara’s admiration and connection to Jew-haters like Sarsour doesn’t stop there.

Apparently she personally met Muslim members of Congress Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, both of whom openly support the Boycott, Sanctions & Divestment (BDS) campaign against Israel. Explained extensively in Part 1, the popular pro-BDS genocidal slogan “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free” means no Israel or Jews to exist between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Ocean.

During her campaign for Congress, Ilhan Omar when asked whether she supported BDS, told the audience at the synagogue that she “didn’t think it was effective.” However, after being elected she came out in full support of BDS. In some circles that is called lying.

Zulfat has been so inspired by these newly elected Jew-haters, that after completing a training program for Democrat women candidates, that during her speech at the 2019 Nashville Women’s March, she announced her own candidacy for an at-large seat on the Metro Nashville City Council.

The Nashville Women’s March is a named affiliate of The Women’s March co-founded by Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory. In fact, it was Sarsour who instigated bringing BDS to The Women’s March. Granted, it wasn’t too difficult given that she and her co-leader Mallory are supporters of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, a notorious anti-Semite who has praised Hitler and described Jews as “satanic.”

No doubt Zulfat is counting on getting elected using the ruling Democrat doctrine of identity politics. After all, that is what the “My Muslim Vote” campaign is all about.

She has spent plenty of time scoping out the Metro Council and making friends with its members, throwing the AMAC’s support behind the anti-police citizenship oversight board.

Zulfat recently moved from Bolivar to a new address at a Davidson County apartment while she waits for her $650,000 house to be built. For 16 years her husband was the Medical Director of the Hardeman County Community Health Center but is now listed as the Chief Clinical Officer for Neighborhood Health.

Zulfat, who came to Nashville in 1993, from Nigeria, loves to talk about how Muslim women in the U.S, are “oppressed” and that all women who supported Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court belong in hell. Too bad she can’t work up that much passion to help her fellow women being genitally mutilated in her native Nigeria, the country ranked third highest globally for mutilating women.

Bill Lee justifies his meeting with AMAC because he says he represents all Tennesseans. Having already met with AMAC twice, maybe Lee should consider setting aside time to meet with some other Tennesseans he also represents.

The Jew Haters Bill Lee Supporters Say He Had to Meet With – Part 2

As early as 2012, Linda Sarsour, one of the most vocal Jew-haters in the U.S., was embraced by a lead organizer involved with AMAC.

Since then, Sarsour’s relationship with AMAC chair Zulfat Suara and board member Kasar Abdulla has blossomed into a full-on love affair.

Sarsour was featured at AMAC’s 2016, Knoxville event alongside AMAC’s resident anti-Semite Drost Kokoye, a co-founder and AMAC board member. Details about this and Kokoye are in Part 1.

That same year, Kasar Abdulla and Samar Ali got to spend more time together as part of the 2015-2016, Leadership Tennessee class. This program was funded by Governor Haslam and his allies to promote “collaborative leadership” across political, cultural and business lines that could problem-solve for the “common good.”

And just whose “common good” is that? Abdulla’s embrace of Sarsour and Ali father’s anti-Jew organization weren’t obstacles to their inclusion in the year-long class just as being a representative of an organization that advocates for illegal aliens has been welcomed into Haslam’s melting pot.

As to the continuing collaboration between AMAC’s Kokoye, Suara, Abdulla and Sarsour and their obvious affinity for each other, it most likely explains why AMAC board members have never disavowed their fellow board member Kokoye’s Jew hatred.

Sarsour and Kasar Abdulla have plenty in common also. They are both graduates of the American Muslim Civic Leadership Institute (AMCLI) which works in partnership with the Center for Muslim Christian Understanding at Georgetown University, funded by a $20 million grant from Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal.

Sarsour and Abdulla are both Obama “Champions of Change.”

Abdulla is Kurdish. She and her family were brought to North Dakota through the U.S. refugee resettlement program and later relocated to Nashville. Sarsour was born in New York to parents who are Palestinian immigrants.

Abdulla got her start with the TN Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC), as a community agitator. While attending Tennessee State University she was president of the Muslim Student Association. Recall that the Muslim Student Association was one of the first Muslim Brotherhood organizations established in the U.S. She is currently employed as the Director of Family Engagement at Valor Collegiate Academy, a Nashville charter school.

Sarsour was the Director of the Arab American Association of New York

Abdulla, like many of the left’s virtue-signaling-self-righteous-moralizing agitators, collaborates with Jew-haters like Sarsour but simultaneously cries about religious intolerance, the “Muslim ban” and alleged bullying of students because of their faith (by which she means only Islam).

Bill Haslam’s administration helped elevate the status of Tennessee’s Islamists and their agenda. Seemingly without regard to “the company they keep,” Bill Lee is picking up where Haslam left off.
