Tennessee Muslims With Radical Anti Jew/ Pro Palestine Activists

In the past few years, Muslims across Tennessee including Nashville, have supported, aligned with and appeared with well known radical Palestinian Jew haters. Many of these Muslims often speak of how they are victims. Today, the question must be asked do they stand with those same radical Palestinians?

Sabina Moyhuddin, Executive Director of The American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) Nashville with Linda Sarsour.

Who is Linda Sarsour?

Sarsour, is the head of the Arab American Association of NY (AAANY). She was born in New York after her parents, both Palestinians from the West Bank, immigrated to the U.S. still Identifying herself as a Palestinian-American, Sarsour’s platform of victimhood is two-fold: alleged abuses of Palestinians by Israel and American discrimination and Islamophobia directed at Muslims in the U.S.

Sarsour seeks out any and all opportunities to spread her Jew hatred. She founded “Muslims for Ferguson” once the riots started. Collaborating with Black Lives Matter (BLM), Dream Defenders, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), CAIR and others, she helped turn the Ferguson protests into an anti-Israel rally.

Sarsour spoke at AMP’s conference confirming her “unequivocal” support for the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) movement, and her disdain for Muslims who interface with pro-Israel Jews. AMP is a national extremist anti-Israel organization that helps train and support the college hate group, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).

She also sits on the advisory board of Dream Defenders (DD). One of DD’s founding members is Ahmad Abuznaid, another Palestinian. Unlike Sarsour who was born in New York, Abuznaid was born in East Jerusalem. He serves as DD’s legal and policy director.

Not surprisingly, DD asserts solidarity with Palestinians. Members of BLM and DD traveled to the “occupied” territories to spend time with a convicted terrorist who had served 17 years in an Israeli prison for planting bombs. Since that trip, DD has aligned more closely with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, an organization that that advocates armed resistance whose members in the past have hijacked airplanes.

Daoud Abudiab, founder of Nashville based “Faith and Culture Center” has been the center of controversy before, as he attended the Muslim Brotherhood’s first convention in America with newly formed group The United States Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO). Also seen here below demonstrating for Palestine.

Several years ago, Awad admitted CAIR stands with Hamas movement. CAIR has been allowed to grow within the United States, and is seen as the nations largest Muslim civil rights organization.

Awad has visited and attended services at the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro

Lets not forget Zulfat Suara, member at large on Nashville’s City Council. Here Ms. Suara loves to show her support and inspiration for Jew Haters Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib

Tennessee Muslims, joined by Representative Justin Jones have flirted with those that are now accepting the violence perpetrated on the Jewish people of Israel. We ask Sabina Moyhuddin, Daoud Abudiab, Nihad Awad, Zulfat Suara and Justin Jones do you accept the atrocities committed by Palestinians? Tennesseans want to know .

Belmont University Dilemma..Christian Speaker On Christian Campus Offends Muslim Students

The Muslim Student Association is a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is a designated terrorist organization in many Middle Eastern countries, and if 2021 proposed legislation is passed in DC, the Brotherhood will also be on the United States State Depts Foreign Terrorist Organization list. The following is an excerpt from The Muslim Brotherhood “manifesto” which details their goals and how to accomplish them.

The Muslim Brotherhood, aka the Ikhwan, has several groups represented within the United States, including the state of Tennessee. The Muslim Student Association was founded in 1963 at the University of Illinois-Urbana for the sole purpose of dawa, or the proselytizing of Islam to non-Muslims. It was during a trial held in Dallas Texas that several Muslim organizations were included in the Muslim Brotherhood manifesto, with the MSA being listed as number 2.

This “manifesto” is named the Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America, (English begins on page 15) which was presented as evidence in the trial in TX known as the Holy Land Foundation.

So it should be very disturbing to learn Belmont University has allowed the Muslim Student Association to be one of its student organizations. What is even more disturbing is the President of Belmont, Dr Greg Jones has apologized for not vetting a Christian speaker to come on to the campus. Imagine that, a Christian speaker going to a Christian school, and Muslims at the school are offended.

The event was put on by the Crescent Project, a non-profit that attempts to build bridges with, and eventually hopes to bring Muslims to Christianity. Members of the Muslim Student Association were so offended, they asked for an apology from the President, as well as making sure it never happens again. Belmont President Jones tasked staff to establish a set of guidelines that any future speakers would agree to before being allowed to speak, and of course apologized like any good scaredy cat would do.

A question that begs to be asked is why Muslims are even attending a school that is steeped in Christian values? While Muslims like to say their universities and colleges are open to all, non-Muslims are rarely accepted into them. Well, the answer is because it is the Muslim goal to bring Christians to Islam, and dawa is the tool that is used.

Another interesting note is that the efforts to begin a Muslim Student Association were repeatedly turned down prior to Dr Greg Jones becoming President of the university. It was only until a year ago, the MSA was allowed to organize. If you search for this group to be listed in the general directory of student organizations, you won’t find it. However it is found under the link for school events and news called Bruinlink.

Unfortunately, President Jones displays a passion for diversity, equity and inclusion more than the Christian values that were maintained for years. One only has to compare the vision and mission statements from years ago to the ones Jones created to see it’s more about social justice than Jesus.

Our Perverted State Senate

This past Monday, LT Governor Randy McNally survived an unofficial “no confidence” vote of his fellow Republican senators, 19-7. I say unofficial because there was not a gathering of all the senators in one location and the ballot was secret. As I understand, it was more of a straw poll initiated by McNally and was not an official action that could have removed him. It was a way for McNally to see where he stood with the other Republican members.

This all came about a couple of weeks after it was discovered that, for the last three years, McNally, a 79year-old married man, had been posting regularly on the Instagram page of a young homosexual man. In one post, McNally enthusiastically compliments a photo of the nearly nude young man. When initially confronted over the issue, McNally responded that he was just “encouraging” the young man.

So, our Republican LT Governor thinks “encouraging” a young man in a blatant homosexual lifestyle is OK? And apparently, he also thinks it’s OK to use a state government-issued computer to do so while using his official title. Saturday Night Live even did a skit on the situation. LT Governor McNally disgraced the decent people of our state.

You would think after embarrassing himself, his family, and the state – especially fellow Republicans -that McNally would step down in shame. You would be wrong. He has no shame, and he is not stepping down.

He is a perverted old man and probably has been for years. Odds are at least some of his colleagues in the Senate knew this about him. Who knows with what else he may have been involved or who else he has, in his words, “encouraged”. It is also widely reported that he has declined mentally over the last few years – not surprising given his age, but not an asset for our state given his position.

Yet even more disgraceful is the fact that only seven of our state senators had the decency to indicate that they have lost confidence in his ability to carry out the responsibilities of LT Governor. Nineteen of our state senators thought he should remain as our LT Governor! That means in a state that is considered the buckle of the Bible Belt, nineteen of our state senators are fine with having a LT. Governor that encourages homosexuality.

Translation: Those nineteen senators just gave the finger to the majority of our citizens that have traditional moral and religious values. And while the ballot was secret, some have come forward and publicly stated their support for McNally. For the most part you could say it’s the usual suspects like Haile, Johnson, Gardenhire, and Reeves. It was disappointing to see Senator Nicely supported McNally as well, making the statement that, “We can’t let a little vocal minority run us off.”

I won’t cover the ridiculous comments of Gardenhire and Haile, but I encourage you to read them from an article in the Tennessee Lookout (Lieutenant governor captures vote of confidence amid Instagram scandal), which is by no means a conservative publication, however, that is where the quotes were reported.

After confirming that the majority of the caucus was as perverse as he was or just too cowardly to act, the very next day LT Governor McNally is reported to have instructed the members of the State and Local Government Committee to kill SB 0841 – a bill designed to prohibit public, private and commercial establishments from allowing persons under the age of 18 to attend a performance featuring adult cabaret entertainment (Bill To Ban Drag Shows For Tennessee Kids Dies In Senate Committee). This bill, sponsored by Senator Joey Hensley, would have included drag shows in the definition of adult cabaret entertainment and was designed to protect our children. Senator Pody made a motion for the bill to be heard, but no other member of the Republican-dominated committee gave a 2nd so the bill has failed for this year. In addition to Sen. Pody, Republican members of that committee include Sen. Briggs, Sen. Jackson, Sen. Stevens, Sen. Lowe, Sen. Yeager and Sen. Walley.

The same committee also killed SB1092 by Senator Bowling – known as the Sovereignty and Nullification Act – by the same method (Senate Committee Kills Bill To Protect Tennessee’s Sovereignty). Once again, Senator Pody made the motion for the bill to be heard, yet none of the others gave a 2nd to the motion.

The bill failed.

Governor Lee was also on record as opposed to this legislation. At a time when federal overreach needs to be addressed more than ever, this bill needed to at least be discussed. Ironically, in October of 2021, McNally sponsored SJR9005 which dealt with federal overreach, state sovereignty and nullification. Sen. Walley and Sen. Stevens were cosponsors of that legislation. The other Republicans on this committee that were serving at that time supported SJR9005. SB1092 just created processes for nullification, a right and responsibility identified in SJR9005.

This tactic of McNally killing bills by telling committee members not make a motion or second a motion is nothing new and has happened in the House, as well. Members are threatened with loss of committee positions or with having their legislation flagged and killed in a like manner if they don’t go along. It is often used if the Governor doesn’t want something to pass.

This is wrong, and it doesn’t matter how long it has gone on. It’s another type of perversion in our legislature, a perversion of our Constitution and a perversion of the citizens’ right to actually be represented by the people they elect. This coercion takes away the power of individual elected officials to represent the concerns of their constituents in order to satisfy the preferences of the LT Governor and/or the Governor.

Nothing in the state constitution gives the LT Governor, the Speaker of the House, or the Governor the right to diminish the ability of individual senators or representatives to represent the interests and concerns of their constituents. Unfortunately, that is exactly what is occurring and the cowardly members of this committee and others are facilitating it when they go along.

Our senators need to hear from us on these issues. We also need to look now for replacements to this current sorry lot in upcoming elections.

We have to clean out the swamp that is the Tennessee Senate. It’s time to send the perverts packing.

Muslim Activists Claim US Congressman a Threat..But Here’s the Real Threat

Muslim Tennessee activist Sabina Mohyuddin, executive director of the Tennessee based Anti- American organization the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) has a complaint…she wants Congressman Mark Green to be removed from his recent assignment as chair of the Homeland Security Committee. Mohyuddin and Sumayyah Waheed, senior policy counsel at Muslim Advocates, a national civil rights group based in Washington, D.C. claims Green is anti Muslim, and anti-LGBTIQ which will be a threat to Muslims.

Congressman Mark Green a threat to Muslims? Someone who has served three tours of duty overseas during the War on Terror, and played an active role in the capture of Saddam Hussein, is hardly a threat to Muslims.

But lets look at who the real threat is.

The American Muslim Advisory Council was formed in 2011 in opposition to what they deemed an anti sharia law bill in the state of TN. Sharia law,( Islamic law) is completely antithetical to our Constitution and laws of America. Sharia is based only on the laws that their prophet Muhammad created and therefore any man made law is illegal. The Taliban and other Islamic groups are known for enforcing Sharia law, which speaks volumes.

Throughout the years, board members of AMAC have associated with known Muslim Brotherhood organizations. The Muslim Brotherhood has been officially declared a terrorist group in many countries in the Middle East, while many of the groups that fall under their umbrella here in America have also been deemed terrorist groups. One such group is the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) which is Hamas. Hamas is listed on the US Dept of States foreign terrorist organizations as of 1997. Sumayyah Waheed Currently, serves on the board of CAIR-Washington.

In 1994, a year before the United States labeled the Palestinian extremist group Hamas a Foreign Terrorist Organization, two individuals who were at the time working for a Hamas offshoot organization (the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP)) founded CAIR to support Hamas’ agenda in the United States. The IAP was also a known front for the Muslim Brotherhood.

Over the years, CAIR’s alleged ties to Hamas have proved troublesome for the organization. In 2007, federal prosecutors reportedly designated CAIR a co-conspirator with the Holy Land Foundation, a group that was eventually convicted for financing terrorism. In 2014, CAIR was designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and multiple CAIR members have been arrested on charges related to terrorism. Read more on CAIR here : https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/council-on-american-islamic-relations-cair/

Zulfat Suara, the current treasurer for AMAC, and also an at large Nashville Metro Council Commissioner received an award from Muslim Brotherhood front group the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). ISNA is the largest Muslim Brotherhood organization operating here in the United States, with its head quarters in Wayne NJ

Linda Sarsour, a well known rabid Anti Israel Palestinian American activist, was invited to speak at AMAC’s 10 year celebration.

In 2017, AMAC also was the recipient of a Proteus Fund grant from George Soros’s Open Society Foundation.

In addition to Sabina Mohyuddin’s complaint about Congressman Green and his stance on Islamic issues, Mohyuddin also states he has made anti LGBTQ statements. Perhaps Mohyuddin should explain that her religious beliefs are extremely harsh when it comes to the LGBTQ community. In June 2013, Mohyuddin gave a power point presentation in which she stated American Muslims just want to be true to their “religious values”. The Koran is very clear when it comes to homosexuality, Quran (7:80-84)–“…For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds…. And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone)”

Mohyuddins religious values are also based upon the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad, which states: Sahih Bukhari (72:774) – “The Prophet cursed effeminate men (those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners of women) and those women who assume the manners of men, and he said, ‘Turn them out of your houses .’ The Prophet turned out such-and-such man, and ‘Umar turned out such-and-such woman.”

“if a man comes upon a man, then they are both adulterers,” “If a woman comes upon a woman, they are both adulteresses,” “When a man mounts another man, the throne of God shakes,” and “Kill the one that is doing it and also kill the one that it is being done to.” (Abu Dawud 4462 and al-Tirmidhi 1456)

Its’s quite interesting to know several members of CAIR have made statements regarding the LGBTQ community. CAIR frequently hosts events featuring Muslim preachers known for virulent anti-gay rhetoric. A frequent speaker at CAIR fundraisers, Siraj Wahhaj, famously threatened to burn down a proposed LGBT-friendly mosque in Toronto in 1992. Suhaib Webb, another favorite of CAIR events, called homosexuality an “evil inclination” in 2007. Omar Suleiman, who has recorded numerous promotional videos for CAIR, has called homosexuality a “disease” and a “repugnant, shameless sin.” Islamic Shura Council of Southern California leader Muzammil Siddiqi, with whom CAIR held a joint press conference following the December 2015 San Bernardino terror attack, has advocated the death penalty for homosexuals in Muslim countries.

So who’s the real threat?

Is Nashville’s Gideons Army Racist and Anti-Police? You Decide!

Here we are in 2022 where police officers are being assaulted, harassed and killed, with crime at an all time high in many liberal run cities and Nashville wants to give a racist, anti-police organization $750,000. In May of 2021, Mayor John Cooper created a Community Safety Partnership Fund Advisory that reports to the Board Mayor’s Office of Community Safety which makes recommendations to the Metro Council for grant funding to nonprofits.

This Community Safety Partnership Fund Advisory Board, which is comprised of “experts” has no budgetary authority but does send recommendations to the Metro Council which includes where grants and donations are disbursed.

Two non-profits have been recommended to the board to split a $1.5 million dollar pilot “violence interruption” program, Gideons Army is one of the two. The issue at hand, is it appears Gideons Army creates more violence than it interrupts.

On Sept 22, 2022 founder of Gideons Army, Rasheedat Fetuga entered Pearl Cohn High School, where she deliberately ignored requests by staff to stop, yelling profanities as she looked for Principal Miriam Harrington. After several attempts to remove her failed, Fetuga eventually left, but on her way out she removed a picture on the wall in the lobby, and once outside began to stomp on that picture breaking the glass and frame.

In April of 2022, another employee of Gideons Army, Charles Brooks, was sentenced to four years in federal prison related to his role in a shootout last year in a North Nashville neighborhood. In 2006, Brooks faced state charges for voluntary manslaughter.

Also in April of 2022, paid employee of Gideons Army Cleveland Shaw, was killed in what police say was another shootout on nearby Clarksville Pike.

In November of 2020, we (Dailyrollcall) published an article exposing Gideons Army revealing some disgusting details about members of a group that claims to be “for the children”.

In order to be an effective organization that claims to want to stop violence within the community, you must have a good relationship with law enforcement. Gideons Army may say they do, however they are promoters of the defund the police movement.

While Gideons Army may have provided the community with groceries, and occasionally helps kids, does it appear they are a racist front group, run by anti police activists? The last thing these social justice warriors need is $750,000.

TN Association of School Librarians – educators or political activists? – Part 3

This series was originally organized for three parts, with Part 3 planned to address “intellectual freedom” as defined, actualized and defended by the library associations. Continued research has revealed much more to address, so the series is likely to include more parts. Intellectual freedom will come a little later.

Concerns have been raised about the swift adoption of the American Association of School Library National Standards (AASL standards) by the Tennessee Association of School Librarians (TASL) and TASL’s roll-out training in these standards to Tennessee school librarians.

A legitimate question is raised regarding whether these standards will be adopted outright by either the Department of Education or the Tennessee General Assembly, or whether, the adoption of the AASL Standards is a fait accompli via the new state-wide school library coordinator position reinstated by the legislature in 2022.

Will TN’s New State-Wide Library Coordinator Law Usher in the AASL National School Library Standards?

During the last legislative session, the Tennessee state legislature passed SB1784/HB1667 sponsored by Senator Jon Lundberg and Rep. Sam Whitson. The bill was signed into law by Governor Lee in late May and is codified at Public Chapter 1048. The bill passed unanimously in the Senate and with two abstaining votes in the House.

The law re-establishes a State Coordinator of School Libraries in the state Department of Education (DOE).

The state library coordinator position was an on-going legislative goal of the three-tiered library organizations. In 2019, the president of the American Library Association (ALA) and the president of the American Association of School Librarians (AASL), co-signed a letter to Tennessee DOE Commissioner Penny Schwinn, advocating to “reinstate” the position. TASL likewise encouraged their members to use “TN Library Legislative Day” to advocate for the state library coordinator position.

The new law requires that the position be filled by a “certified school librarian” who shall do the following:

(1) Assist school librarians in implementing the department’s strategic plan and student literacy and digital citizenship initiatives;
(2) Consult, guide, and train school librarians to strengthen school library programs for students in grades kindergarten through twelve (K-12);
(3) Provide input on revisions to the school librarian evaluation model;
(4) Work with the state library and archives to provide school libraries with equal access to high-quality educational reading materials and resources;
(5) Support the department’s work by promoting best practices among school librarians and technology coordinators; and
(6) Develop and promote strategies for school librarians to partner with classroom instructors to support school and district-level instructional programs.

Reading the new state law in the context of steps taken by TASL and individual school districts, it seems that the new state law, particularly as it pertains to requirements (2), (3) and (5), was written with an understanding that the AASL standards would be adopted either formally or informally through the required duties of the state library coordinator position.

Research has not turned up any Tennessee school library standards beyond minimum requirements for student-to-librarian and student-to-book collection ratios. Texas appears to have updated their state school library standards by adopting the 2018 AASL Standards.

Certified school librarian

Licenses and/or certification is issued by the Tennessee Department of Education (DOE). The DOE requires school librarian applicants to have an “academic teaching license” and “a Master’s in library science, and/or any program certified by the American Library Association, ALA”.

The ALA and AASL require that any school librarian preparation program that wants ALA or AASL accreditation “must” use the ALA/AASL school librarian preparation standards which “reflect the ideals and language in the AASL [National School Library] Standards.” In fact, the first school librarians preparation standard requires that the AASL Standards be part of their training.

For example, the Masters of Library Science degree program at UTK is accredited by the ALA; Trevecca’s program is recognized by the AASL. The degree program at MTSU is pursuing ALA accreditation. The online degree program from ETSU says its curriculum is “aligned with the standards” of the ALA and the AASL.

The AASL National School Library Standards and TASL

In 2018, the AASL released updated National School Library Standards. Shortly thereafter, TASL was awarded a grant from the AASL to help roll-out training to Tennessee school librarians on the new standards. TASL formed an AASL Standards Task Force to provide the training. TASL has been training school librarians in the AASL standards even though these standards have not been adopted by either the Tennessee Department of Education or the State Board of Education.

The AASL Standards are discussed in Part 1 of this series.

Knox County has proudly made a big push early on in adopting the AASL standards. Sarah Searles, a Knox County district specialist in library media services for the county schools, published an article in 2019, titled, Implementing the National School Library Standards at the District Level. Searles has served on the board of the AASL and appears to be a leader in the library association network. She is the author of the Explore guide in the Shared Foundation series.

According to Searles, Knox County has “develop[ed] a new school librarian description based on the AASL standards” which presumably would be relevant to requirement (3) of the new state-wide school library coordinator position.

Searles writes that implementing the AASL standards across a school district means that “school librarians will have a clearly defined way of understanding that the standards are how we do business” instead of considering the standards as mere suggestions.

Advocates for adopting the AASL standards suggest that “standards-based practice” will better professionalize and elevate the role and educational impact of school librarians. This in turn will fortify the advocacy for preserving or increasing funding to ensure that all Tennessee schools have a certified school librarian.

Will Tennessee students benefit if the AASL National School Library Standards are formally adopted?

If TASL makes an effort to have the AASL standards formally adopted either through Department of Education or legislative action, it’s easy to see that the relevant decision-makers are likely to go along.

Unfortunately, DOE Commissioner Penny Schwinn’s judgment has been a matter of concern on various fronts including the no-bid contracts here and here, and being named as a defendant in a July 2022 lawsuit alleging that the Williamson County “Wit & Wisdom” violates state laws “prohibiting the teaching of Critical Race Theory and Common Core”.

Add to the mix was the kerfuffle Schwinn ran into with the Tennessee Senate Education Committee in 2020, over her alleged effort to exert improper influence over the state’s textbook commission. Former DOE employees have alleged that Schwinn created a “toxic” to ““a fairly abysmal” work environment, and at least one member of the House Education Committee threatened to call for a vote of no confidence if she didn’t work to repair the “trust” between herself and committee members.

Bottom line is that confidence in Schwinn’s decision-making is waning and with the very public concerns being voiced about school library book collections, public confidence is likely to hit ground zero should she come out in favor of adopting the AASL standards.

Of great importance as this moves forward is that fact that concerned constituents have access to their representatives and a greater opportunity to try and influence any decision to be made on this matter.

Since the General Assembly passed the bill opening the door to the potential adoption of the AASL standards, the least they can do is to ensure that a thorough and public vetting of the AASL standards happens.

To this end, legislators would be well advised to learn more about the standards, the activity guides, and the foundational structure of the standards. Equally important is for the relevant decision-makers to fully understand how the diversity, equity and inclusion elements embedded in the standards and which help drive the agenda of the three-tiered library associations, will impact students.

The Interfaith Chrislam Scam..Part 1

This series of articles will be long, and detailed, to hopefully articulate how the “interfaith” movement has led to a dangerous marriage between two religions, one whose savior is dead, and one whose Savior is alive. While there are other faiths involved with the this movement, these articles will focus on the Catholic connection.

In February 2019, the Catholic spiritual shepherd Pope Francis and Islamic Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, the grand imam of Egypt’s Al-Azhar joined together to celebrate the Day of Human Fraternity. This celebration was based on the 2007 landmark alliance between the holiest Catholic and Muslim leaders spawned by a letter to the Pope titled “A Common Word Between Us and You”.

This letter was originally signed by 138 Muslim scholars and clerics from across the globe that came together historically to show the unification of all denominations of Islam. The final letter was presented at a conference held by the Royal Academy of The Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought in Jordan, with the theme “Love in the Quran”.

This document was the “common constitution” which would be the conversation openers for all interfaith gatherings to show that the teachings of the Koran and the Prophet were similar to the commandments in the Holy Bible, claiming despite their differences, both have the same edicts.

The following information explains why interfaith is a dangerous, hypocritical relationship. Words in bold are important to remember, as we will connect the dots with them as we proceed in coming parts.

It all seems so innocent. Interfaith events continue to grow in churches and synagogues across America, with the idea Muslims, Christians, Catholics, and Jews could all be friends to co-exist despite extreme differences within doctrines and laws.

To begin, we start with the doctrine of Islam. Muslims believe there is only one god, Allah, who through the prophet Muhammad revealed the words of the Koran. The traditions and sayings of the prophet are contained in the Sunnah and the Hadiths, this making the trilogy of books most important to Muslims. In order for a Muslim to be “good”, they must imitate the life of their prophet Muhammed. In summary the early years of Muhammad described as his years in Mecca, he was peaceful and while he desired to convert others to Islam, he accepted those that practiced their own religions, which led to very small numbers of Muslims.

On his hijra (journey) to Yathrib (Medina), Muhammed began to reject the offer of peaceful co-existence. It was in Medina Islam became political and militarized, showing to others Islam was meant to dominate, not to be equal. Before his death, non-believers (infidels) were evicted or enslaved and converted under the threat of death if they did not. Remember, In order for a Muslim to be “good”, they must imitate the life of their prophet Muhammed.

In stark contrast to Islam, The Christian Faith centers entirely on the person and work of Jesus Christ, and not just certain aspects of His life. Jesus rose from the dead – spiritually and physically.

Many religious leaders including Catholics have failed to study the context of what is written in the Koran between Muhammad’s Meccan life and his Medina one. Muslims utilize the practice of abrogation, and the use of Taqiyya (sacred deception). Islam denies the principle of the Golden Rule: the belief all human beings are equal in value and should be treated the same. No where in the doctrine of Islam does Allah speak of love or compassion for kafirs (non-Muslims). However, there are over 109 verses regarding violence against them. Here are a few:

Quran (8:12) – “(Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels… “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”

Quran (8:39) – “And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion is all for Allah”

Quran (9:5) – “So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them.”

Read more passages on jihad here https://www.answering-islam.org/Quran/Themes/jihad_passages.html

Messages from the Hadith and Sira include more violence to non-believers:

Sahih Bukhari (52:177) – Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour 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.”

Sahih Muslim (1:33) – the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.

Understand these verses are never discussed due to abrogation, meaning the later verses in the Koran over power earlier verse. In other words, anything revealed to Muhammad chronologically later in the Koran abrogates or overrules anything that came earlier.

Abrogation is contained in three verses in the Koran: Sura 17:106 And (it is) a Qur’an which We have divided (into parts), in order that you might recite it to men at intervals. And We have revealed it by stages. (in 23 years).

Sura 16:101 101. And when We change a Verse [of the Qur’an, i.e. cancel (abrogate) its order] in place of another, and Allah knows the best of what He sends down, they (the disbelievers) say: “You (O Muhammad ) are but a Muftari! (forger, liar).” Nay, but most of them know not.

Sura 2:106 106. Whatever a Verse (revelation) do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring a better one or similar to it. Know you not that Allah is able to do all things?

During interfaith events, whenever a Muslims quotes a peaceful verse, it must be asked when it was revealed to Muhammad. In Mecca or Medina?

Taqiyya, or the art of deception (sacred deception) is a lie that advances Islam. In Islam, It is not considered a sin, but rather permissible. Renowned Islamic jurist, Imam Abu Hamid Ghazali defines this deception as “speaking is a means to achieve objectives..it is permissible and obligatory to lie if the goal is obligatory.

The question begs to be answered why would Catholic faith leaders want an interfaith dialogue with anyone that is allowed, and encouraged to lie and deceive? Lying and deception is in fact a sin to Catholics.

Coming up in Part two, a look into the letter to the Pope from Muslims, “A Common Word Between Us and You”..

Coffee County TN Early Voting Starts July 15 and Here We go…

As we continue to educate and inform voters, we thought the following facts and questions should be food for thought as Coffee County voters head to the polls to elect our next Mayor. Margaret Cunningham is running for Mayor as an “Independent”. In a private message to me, the founder of dailyrollcall.com, Mrs. Cunningham stated she is a “conservative independent” yet accepts and acknowledges an endorsement by a Democrat. That is a Fact. Luke Cameron, who was also running for mayor, but as a Democrat, bailed out of the race and backed Margaret. In his public withdrawal he states Mrs. Cunningham will “embody our values”, but whose values?

Another interesting point to ponder involves Steve Cunningham, Margaret’s husband. Did you know Mr. Cunningham is the Chair of the Coffee County Planning Commission? In March of 2022, a proposal was made to double building permit fees within the county. It’s interesting to note this proposal was put off going to the full commission, which Margaret sits on, not once, but twice.. just prior to the May primary and now the August general election. Is it coincidence?

In the forum last week, Mrs. Cunningham spoke about not wanting inferior housing built by outside contractors to end up being the “slums”. Is Mr. Cunningham responsible for those “slums”?

Also during the forum hosted by Rooster radio last week, Mrs. Cunningham stated in reference to Judd Matheny’s experience, “it’s not about connections or who you know”. Wow! Mr. Matheny was our state representative for 16 years, and cultivated many solid friendships in many various walks of life, not just political ones. Those “connections” are invaluable for advise, and experience which always should be welcome. Will Mrs. Cunningham continue to rely on the same good ole boy rhinos steeped in stale ideas for our county? (One only has to look at Manchester to see how that plays out.)

If you follow dailyrollcall, you know we have exposed all parties, Republicans included. Mrs. Cunningham may be an “independent”, but bashing the Republican party, that is the conservative party shows her true colors. In a message sent to me by Mrs. Cunningham upon hearing I was going to write about her, she expressed anger I would “plant seeds” in voters minds. What seeds would she be worried about?

“To be so low to plant seeds from just your opinion and NOT FACT is typical of your kind and not unexpected.” Says Mrs. Cunningham.

As a candidate for public office, questions should be welcomed. If Mrs. Cunningham is worried about seeds, do you wonder why?

Coffee County Candidate Summary: Margaret Cunningham & Mike Stein

Since early voting begins July 15, we here at Dailyrollcall.com feel it is important for voters to be informed and educated regarding local elections. We believe voting for candidates because they are nice or they are a friend is a dangerous, antiquated idea that unfortunately has been the norm and we now are seeing the results of emotional voting.

So lets begin with Independent candidate for Coffee County Mayor, Margaret Cunningham. In a recent interview with the local news paper Manchester Times, Mrs. Cunningham implied she was for giving county employees raises: “Certainly for the Ambulance Service. We did it a few years ago for the sheriff’s office even before the current sheriff got in. But in some ways that wasn’t appropriately utilized,” Cunningham said. Cunningham said this year’s budget includes a “good effort to try to get, especially ambulance, back up to scale so we can maintain employees like we finally did with the Sheriff’s Department.

In the June 28^th commission meeting minutes, Mrs. Cunningham abstained from voting for this item.

Another question surely to raise the ire of Mrs. Cunningham hits close to home..literally. In early June, the Coffee County highway department notified residents paving would begin on the same road Mrs. Cunningham resides on, which is approximately 2 miles long with about 8 homes. Another County road which leads to a heavily traveled event area, Bonaroo, has 37 homes within 2 miles and needs major repairs. Surely there must be an answer to how roads qualify to be resurfaced and repaired right?

Since our last article on Mrs. Cunningham was posted, we want to be clear that during the recent primaries, we wrote about several Republicans (Garth Seagroves, Josh Morris and others) so voters could get a sense of who they really were. Party affiliation does not matter when it comes to who we expose. Mrs. Cunningham declares herself to be a “conservative Independent”, and distances herself from the “R” party, while damming other she labels “R”. Her response to our article was angry and threatening, which frankly was unexpected from a woman so many have praised. Mrs. Cunningham does not like our “planting seeds” from “your kind” as it “discredits” her. This is exactly why we choose to inform voters on who candidates are.

Mike Stein:

The High School teacher from Coffee County High School, who chose to use the raised fist as he logo on his candidate signs, and supports all the radical ideologies of groups like Black Lives Matter. Stein’s choice of hardline social justice activism continues as he expressed gratitude for a virtual conference hosted by The Education Trust: Tennessee Coalition for Truth in Classrooms. No surprise The Education Trust is a recipient of George Soro’s Open Society Foundation grant program. In 2020, the Education Trust received $50,000 for “general support”. Stein also is a supporter of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and misled readers when he attempted to say students would no longer be able to critically think or discuss controversial topics due to a law in TN that bans CRT.

The time for electing political figures based on how nice they are, or because they are your friend or neighbor doesn’t cut it anymore. Stop voting with your heart and use your head. Strong leadership based on foundational values is necessary or say goodbye to America.

Coffee County Candidate Summary: Rupa Blackwell & Marian Galbraith

As early voting begins in Coffee County TN, (July 15^th) the following is Part 1 of the summary of candidates you may want to rethink voting for. Whether you are Democrat, Republican or Independent, the most important aspect of voting is to vote for someone that is good for ALL, not just to advance an agenda or personal beliefs. Voting for someone because they are nice, sweet, or out of sympathy can no longer be the barometer on who serves the community best. America was founded on Judeo Christian principles, guided by faith and a Constitution and Bill of rights. While there may not be a perfect candidate, we must vote for those who believe and affirm our values as Americans.

Never before has our country been so divided, angry and chaos filled, driven by upside down values, antithetical to our founding principles. Beginning with local elections, it is time to recognize the dangerous path we are on. There also is no perfect party, as each one has its problems with rhinos and radicals.

America is not racist, or filled with bigots as many want you to believe. We are already diverse, and inclusive. Yes, we have problems within our history, but erasing it will only repeat it.

Rupa Blackwell, is a candidate for Tullahoma City Alderman. Ms. Blackwell is the perfect example of who wins based on emotions and sympathy. When a candidate is endorsed and supported by radical organizations, you can expect that candidate to be beholden to them. It also speaks volumes of the candidate beliefs. *Women for TN Future (WTF) has endorsed Ms. Blackwell both times she has run. WTF promotes “progressive” women, and supports BLM , whose founders announced they are “trained Marxists”. WTF also is pro-abortion, pro illegal immigration and pro LGBTQ+, all contrary to American values, whether you like it or not. If Ms. Blackwell knocks on your door, ask her what her stance is on abortion. Does she accept the new gender or trans movement? Will she be for allocating taxpayer money for those who came here illegally?

Some may argue her position on those issues do not affect her as an alderman, but quite contrary. Ms. Blackwell already attempted to form a diversity and equity alliance as a government entity, but fortunately it was voted down. In an article written and published by the local newspaper, Ms. Blackwell insinuates Tullahoma is somehow unwelcoming and racist. “I left Tennessee because of my identity but chose to return in spite of it. We came back- consciously aware that our daughter could be subjected to the same ridicule. But there are so many people here who have also experienced oppression- the underrepresented, and I came back with a desire to empathize with them, advocate for them, and fight for them.” Being an alderman means representing all, not just those she sympathizes with as oppressed or underrepresented.

There are many pressing questions the citizens of Tullahoma need to be asking of their candidate for alderwoman Rupa Blackwell.

Since you are supported and endorsed by Women for Tennessee’s Future, who are “pro choice” and are fighting for abortion rights in TN, are you pro-choice or pro-life?

Emerge TN, another supporter of you, and their national branch project our country to be primarily run by blacks, browns, lgtbq+ and indigenous people. Do you believe in identity politics, and that qualifications should only be based on race, gender and sexual preferences?

Since you have been endorsed again by these groups, will you be beholden to their agendas?

Do you still support BLM?

How do these organizations and their beliefs help the city of Tullahoma to become a better place to live?

Ms. Blackwell has in the past few years written many articles on her victimhood, and seems to lack the focus and attention to what makes a city better. Personal beliefs are one thing, projecting them into her policy making decisions are quite another. Time to rethink who will better qualify to make Tullahoma greater, not who appears nice and friendly. If you don’t believe or accept who is endorsing you, stand firm and reject that endorsement. In this case, Ms. Blackwell should have run.

Marian Galbraith

Once again many Democrats are hiding under the “Independent” banner knowing if they run as a democrat in a red county, they may handily lose. Such is the case with Marian Galbraith, running for county commissioner in the 8^th district. As Ms. Galbraith’s political donations will clearly show, she is/has monetarily supported democrat after democrat, including some real winners.

May be a closeup of 1 person

So why is this information regarding donations candidates like Ms. Galbraith and Ms. Rupa Blackwell support so important? Because donations represent ideologies those donating adhere to. We all do it, donate to those who claim to uphold the values we want, and will instill once elected. That is why it is so important to understand who candidates donate to, but also are supported and endorsed by.

No matter what your political affiliation is, if you are tired of woke agendas, and the turmoil America is in be wise in your voting choices, It all starts on the local level.
