Update on the Jesus Exhibition, the Sponsoring Organization & ICT’s new Imam

See how cowed the press is? So afraid of offending Islamists that they don’t even bother to tell you about what should be real concerns about the iERA organization which is the creator and sponsor of the traveling Jesus Exhibition.

Actually, the press, especially in Nashville, has forever been nothing more than an apologist propaganda machine for Islamists.

This coming Saturday, November 9, the ICT is opening for the public, the iERA’s (Islamic Education and Research Academy) traveling Jesus Exhibition.https://klp.wnv.mybluehost.me/islamic-center-of-tennessee-we-muslims-love-jesus-but-its-okay-to-denigrate-and-when-necessary-persecute-christians/

ICT’s imam, Anwar Arafat works with the UK-based iERA to fight Islamophobia. He is the imam promoting the iERA and its work, first in Memphis and now in Nashville.

And as expected, neither Arafat, leaders of the ICT or the Islamist apologist Tennessean paper have disclosed any of the controversy surrounding iERA due to actions and statements made by the organization and some of its representatives.

Among other things, iERA has been banned from University College London due to having attempted to establish gender segregated seating during iERA events. The Daily Telegraph wrote that the iERA was being investigated by the Charity Commission: “amid allegations that its leaders promote anti-Semitism and have called for homosexuals and female adulterers to be stoned to death”.

The Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain issued a fairly extensive report about iERA titled, “Evangelising Hate: Islamic Education and Research Academy (iERA).”

Bilal Philips is discussed extensively in the report and noted as having an advisory relationship with iERA. Philips is a Canadian Muslim teacher, speaker, and author who currently lives in Qatar, having “converted to Islam in the early seventies after journeying politically and intellectually from Christianity to Communism.”

He disputes many of the claims made about him in the report including being denied entry into certain countries. In 2014, it was reported in connection with his deportation from the Philippines, that he “has been barred from entering Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Kenya and as of June, Bangladesh. Germany expelled Philips in 2011 after officials there claimed he advocated killing homosexuals. His books, some of which have been banned in countries such as the Czech Republic, advocate against Western dress and music.”

This just goes to show how much more tolerant we are in Tennessee because absolutely nothing happened to Awadh Binhazim who during his tenure as the volunteer Muslim chaplain at Vanderbilt, told a student gathering 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 first very involved with the Islamic Center of Nashville, serving on its shura board (a consultative body which implements Sharia law), but moved on to co-found the ICT to help ring the city with mosques. Binhazim is aggressive in Islamic dawa (prosletizing), promoting Shariah as an immutable and politically dominant way of life, and freely associates with Muslim Brotherhood organizations.

And dawa – getting the poorly informed interested in considering becoming a Muslim, is what the iERA exhibit is really about. The typical and quite frankly, worn-out and unsubstantiated claim of Islamophobia is used as the justification for the amped up dawa in Middle Tennessee.

And no space is spared – how about the Southern Festival of Books???? Free Korans and as much dawa as you want to go with it compliments of the ICT.

Before taking up his position with the ICT, Imam Anwar Arafat was the imam at the sizable mosque Masjid Ar-Rohman in Memphis. Before that, he was an imam in Utah. His bio says he “has studied in Gaza, Palestine, Kuwait, and the United States.”

Arafat actually spent his teen years in Gaza where he attended Al Karmel high school which maintains an “interesting” facebook page with lots of “interesting” pictures like these:

Of course, having your picture taken with the Yasser Arafat, leader of the terrorist Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and referred to in some circles as the “father of modern terrorism,” must have been thrilling for the young Anwar who posted this picture of the two of them:

The Gaza strip where young Anwar received a complete education, is controlled by HAMAS, a U.S. designated terrorist organization – just where you send a kid from Utah.

The all grown-up Arafat is the typical Islamist activist. For example, like many of the community Islamist agitators we have in Tennessee, he served as president the MSA at the University of Utah. He was also a cofounder of the Muslim Community Center of Utah.

In 2015, he hosted a Memphis AMAC (American Muslim Advisory Council) fundraiser with Samar Ali and Paul Galloway (a former CAIR leader working for AMAC in Tennessee).

In May 2019, Arafat was the guest speaker at former Mayor David Briley’s Muslim Community Recognition Day to pitch elevating work with AMAC as a way to address the scourge of Islamophobia. The following week Arafat started as the new imam at the ICT.

ICT makes “interesting” picks for their imams, several of which have trended toward the Jew-hating type.

Abdullah Al Ansari – “He [Allah] told us to fight the Jews and Christians. Fight them until they give jizya. They give this protective tax from their hands and they are humiliated and subdued. If Islam, true Islam and true Muslims do not rule there will never be justice.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fixcwOGaco8 (at 5:12 and almost word for word Koran 9:29; Reliance of the Traveller o9.8 – Objectives of Jihad p.602).

In 2017, ICT’s imam AhmedulHadi Sharif was preaching about the “enemies of Allah” as he referred to Jews in Israel.

It will be interesting to hear what Arafat adds to the ICT fabric given his own indoctrination during his time in anti-Jew strongholds.

Islamic Center of Tennessee – We Muslims Love Jesus (But It’s Okay to Denigrate and When Necessary, Persecute Christians)

As part of its aggressive dawa (proselytizing of Islam) The Islamic Center of Tennessee (ICT) is ever so proudly hosting the traveling “Jesus Exhibition, which details what the Quran says about his life and his mother, Mary. The event is noon to 6 p.m. Nov. 9.”

The exhibit is a product of the UK-based iERA (Islamic Education and Research Academy). The interactive online exhibition campaign files can be accessed here.

The iERA does not hide the fact that this exhibit is intended to bring people to Islam – “[t]his global exhibition has now been seen in Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Cyprus, Germany, Honduras, Ireland, Malaysia, Malawi, Mexico, the UK and the USA, with many people embracing Islam as a result!”

Lucky kafirs and infidels in Memphis already had the exhibit in their city when the ICT imam was working there. Now the Nashville area kafirs and infidels can see it too!

In true interfaith propagandist style, The Tennesseean reports that “[t]he hope is people who have questions about Islam will have a chance to go straight to the source for answers, Anwar Arafat, the center’s imam and religious director, said. And the Jesus Exhibition helps narrow down such a big topic to one that Muslims have in common with people outside their religious tradition.”

Does the Jesus exhibit include that the Quran says we are all supposedly Muslims which is why Islamists refer to converts as “reverts”?

How about this little Quaranic gem – According to the Quran, “Esa,” is Jesus’ real name because Jesus was a Muslim, he was not crucified and did not die on the cross but instead, ascended to Allah and anyone claiming otherwise is a liar, so when Jesus returns, he will “be a witness against Jews and Christians for believing in his death.” (4:157-159)

Lovely.

How does the traveling exhibit and Imam Arafat explain the hadith (traditions and sayings of Muhammad) which say that when Jesus comes back, he goes on a pilgrimage to Mecca, he breaks the cross, kills the pig, does away with the “jizyah” (tax on Jews and Christians) and helps destroy Christianity once and for all?

“He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam.” Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 37, Number 4310.

Islamists in Tennessee have been peddling the “we love Jesus too” approach for years in Tennessee to lure the gullible Christian and Jewish kafirs – the same ones they pray against five times a day in the Al-Fatihah:

“In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

All praise and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists,

the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

the Owner of the Day of Recompense.

You we worship, and You we ask for help.

Guide us to the straight path,

The way of those upon whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (that) of those who

earned your anger nor of those who went astray.”

(Jews “earned your anger” and Christians are “those who went astray”).

A few years back the MSA (Muslim Students Association) at East Tennessee State University put on a program called “Jesus in Islam”:

“We did a couple of lectures on campus last year,” Nimer [MSA President], said. “One was ‘Jesus in Islam.’ We talked about the misconceptions people have because a lot of people think we don’t believe in Jesus. We do, we love him, we respect him and we follow his teachings.”

In 1999 Awadh Binhazim, former Austin CAIR chapter leader, former board member at the Islamic Center of Nashville (ICN), and a founder of the ICT, proselytized Islam in Nashville through his Olive Tree Education project. Among Islamists operating in Tennessee, he was one of the least deceptive.

Binhazim lectured Islam’s supremacist belief regarding what Muslims believe about the Gospel:

“When Muslims say they believe in the Ingil, the Gospel and they believe in the Torah, and they believe in the Psalms, they qualify. They believe that there has been a change in the text of the Torah and the Gospel. Therefore, originality was lost…Authenticity was lost. And Muslims regard this to be a deliberate change by corrupt priests of the time. They distorted the word of God and eliminated the original Hebrew and Aramaic versions of their scriptures.”

Binhazim’s running buddy, former imam of the ICN, Abdulhakim Mohammed was also the Education Director for Binhazim’s Olive Tree Education. This imam had no regard for Christians or Christianity – “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.”

The former imam of Binhazim’s ICT, Imam Abdullah Al Ansari said, “He [Allah] told us to fight the Jews and Christians. Fight them until they give jizya. They give this protective tax from their hands and they are humiliated and subdued. If Islam, true Islam and true Muslims do not rule there will never be justice. Don’t think that Barak Obama can give you justice. No one can give you justice except a just Muslim ruler”.

Raymond Ibrahim 2018 report documents that “215,000,000 Christians Persecuted, Mostly by Muslims.”

In Tennessee, apologists for Islam, progressive leftists, and interfaith lapdogs, have become the most useful tools of Islamists.

Nashville TN Students To Be Indoctrinated Again

This will be short and sweet.

The indoctrination continues. Once again, students attending Meigs Magnet Middle School in Nashville Tennessee are being taken on a field trip to the Islamic Center of Nashville’s latest addition, the Bellevue Mosque all under the guise of history.

On Tuesday, November 5, your child will be subjected to lies that will undoubtedly undermine any beliefs or faith you are teaching them at home. Two years ago, children from the same school were taken to the Islamic Center of Nashville, where they were told they would leave that mosque with a compartment in their brain filled with Islam stuff.

Listen for yourself as Dina Sirios from the Islamic Center of Nashville instructs students.

Please articulate where the historical value in this talk would be.

“NICE” If You Can Get the Government to Fund Your “Charitable” Work

NICE is the Nashville International Center for Empowerment federal refugee resettlement contractor located in Nashville.

The federal contractor met with Lt. Gov. Randy McNally shortly after the President issued his Executive Order on refugee resettlement. NICE is trying to convince Tennessee state leadership to reverse course, say yes to the business of resettling refugees in Tennessee and help federal contractors like NICE heal their sagging budgets.

NICE probably has a much better understanding of the willingness of the Lee administration and weak-kneed Republicans who are willing to sell out trusting Republican voters in the face of $$$$$. Governor Lee recently said he hasn’t made up his mind about whether to consent to resettling refugees in Tennessee.

That’s money and economic development like the kind Tyson Foods with sales in 2018, of $40 billion dollars and which is building its 5th plant in Tennessee. That’s the same company that helped make Shelbyville an employment magnet for Somali refugees.

That’s the same Tyson Foods that’s building the new big shiny chicken processing plant in Gibson County, the kind of rural West Tennessee area which gubernatorial candidate Lee said he was committed to for economic development.

Tennessee state Senator John Stevens whose district includes Gibson County just also happens to be a named plaintiff in the state’s Tenth Amendment lawsuit against the federal refugee resettlement program. Bet he’s getting some pressure.

But don’t fall for the idea that the Trump EO on refugee resettlement makes the lawsuit unnecessary, because it won’t stop refugees from being resettled in Tennessee.

Remember, the lawsuit is not about refugees. It’s about the federal government forcing Tennessee to spend state revenue for the resettlement program even though the state withdrew from the program over 10 years ago. The lawsuit is about state sovereignty and the Tenth Amendment – it’s about any federal program that the federal government decides it will have states subsidize even if they don’t want to and even if they don’t receive any federal money or benefit in return.

Federal refugee resettlement contractors like NICE get most of their money from the federal government. Resettlement contractors like NICE are paid for each individual refugee they bring to a community. With the Trump administration consistently lowering the number for annual refugee admissions, local resettlement offices have been closing.

In Tennessee, World Relief closed its Nashville office after taking the money but not before it dumped refugees in Murfreesboro without providing the services.

No doubt NICE is doing whatever it can to avoid the same fate.

NICE, started by a former refugee, was founded in 2005 as an ethnic assistance organization originally named the Sudanese Community and Women’s Service Center. NICE matured into a full-fledged refugee resettlement contractor in 2011, and it’s financial profile changed pretty dramatically with the infusion of federal cash:

Before federal money: 2009 – $76,645 and 2010 – $175,233

After federal money begins to flow and dominates the percent of total budget:

2011 $400,503 (76%)

2012 $906,348 (88%)

2013 $805,031 (81%)

2014 $1,219,679 (77%)

2015 $1,113,582 (73.5%)

2016 $1,305,399 (70.7%)

2017 $1,059,505 (61.7%)

2018 $781,316 (44.8%)

No doubt NICE has pitched the usual leftist propaganda about the economic benefits of cheap refugee labor to Lt. Gov. McNally. Republicans have always understood that helping their big corporate cronies like Tyson get out of the quagmire of cheap illegal alien labor is answered by the cheap legal labor pool of refugees.

Even if it means pushing the cost onto everyday Tennesseans. Oh yeah, and then there’s the displacement of disabled and sick Tennesseans who still are waiting for TennCare help, but which refugees who meet eligibility can get as soon as they arrive.

And then there’s Bill Hagerty…..

Shortly after Haslam appointed Bill Hagerty to be the Commissioner of Economic & Community Development (ECD), Hagerty made Lamar’s son, Will Alexander ECD’s Chief of Staff.

During Will’s tenure with ECD, he served on NICE’s board as Treasurer as a representative of TN ECD while at the same time, NICE’s President & CEO, Gatluak Thach was on the Board of TIRRC alongside the co-chairs of Governor Haslam’s Muslim Advisory Council.

Cozy.

In 2016, ECD had Wolfgang Roeder, an ECD business consultant, serve on the NICE board. Wolfgang’s job was to “help with any expansion projects, access to ECD grants and to Tax credits.

Perhaps Lt. Gov. McNally and Governor Lee need to hear from the everyday Tennessean who isn’t getting propped up by the federal government money?

lt.gov.randy.mcnally@capitol.tn.gov https://www.tn.gov/governor/contact-us.html

Don’t leave the new Speaker of the House, Cameron Sexton, out of the conversation: speaker.cameron.sexton@capitol.tn.gov

One other thing – you might want to tell these Republican leaders that these groups they seem to anxious to accommodate didn’t put them into office – Tennessee Republican voters did and it’s been documented over the years that immigrants tend to vote Democratand no amount of Republican appeasement is going to change that.

These Republican leaders need to understand that continuing to sell out Tennessee conservatives based on perceived economic gain, might serve their political ambitions, but in the long-run, will lead to our demise

Hagerty’s Political Resume – Anti-Trumpers and Pelosi-Republicans

President Trump has made some good picks and some mis-picks. Hagerty for U.S. Senate is one of the bigger mis-picks.

First and most importantly, (and no disrespect to the President), Tennessee voters will decide whether another elitist globican like Lamar fills that seat.

Second, realize how heavily Hagerty is leaning on Trump’s endorsement hoping that this will distract voters from realizing what kind of elitist globican he really is.

(Globicans are those on the right who cavalierly trade American citizens like widgets for perceived economic outcomes – and/or their own political ambitions).

Third, it really does matter, when you don’t have a voting record, who is on your political resume. On this side of the ledger, Hagerty is in BIG trouble.

Illegal alien amnesty supporter Mitch McConnell hasendorsed Hagerty.

During his 35 years in the Senate, McConnell has learned how to manipulate to his desired outcome, the political high waters of obstruction. And given that McConnell at best only tolerates Trump, he has not hesitated to obstruct the President on a key issue – illegal immigration. Remember, McConnell is no supporter of Trump.

On the President’s emergency at the border declaration – McConnell, a tool of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and big globican interests, rushed to announce that the Senate would block it. Then he, “unleashed twelve members of his Decepticon caucus to rebuke the border security efforts of President Donald Trump.”

Whenever it concerns illegal aliens, the “Deception caucus” always includes Lamar Alexander and Mitt Romney, both of whom recently voted against the President – again – to overturn his resolution on the national emergency at the border. Hagerty’s other immigration buddy whom he supported for president, Marco Rubio didn’t show up for this first round of voting.

Trump vetoed the House-Senate resolution; Romney hung in there and voted to overturn Trump’s veto, out-going Lamar didn’t bother to show up this time around but Rubio did and voted to overturn Trump’s veto.

On the recent House-passed resolution condemning the President for withdrawing troops from Syria, McConnell said he wanted “an even stronger” resolution against the President than the one passed in the House. Led by Sen. Rand Paul, Republicans in the Senate defied McConnell’s efforts to undermine Trump.

Predictably, Romney used the Syria withdrawal to again “lambaste” the President in a speech from the Senate floor. And of course Romney is abusing his Senate seat to push Trump impeachment efforts.

Hagerty is now trying to camouflage his real political DNA and past political opportunistic boot-strapping.

Hagerty’s delicate chastising of Romney’s support for Trump impeachment efforts shows how desperate Hagerty really is to try and separate himself from the most vocal pre and post-election anti-Trumper.

What Hagerty can’t erase what his devotion to Romney, when he left Tennessee ECD to serve as Romney’s national finance guy, a move he probably though could get he a spot in a Romney administration.

When that didn’t work out, Hagerty put his support behind Jeb! for president in 2016. When he chose Jeb! over Trump, Hagerty said:

“Jeb has a plan to flatten and simplify the tax code, which will create millions of new jobs,” Hagerty said in the release. “He will unleash American innovation through his regulatory reform agenda. He has the right ideas on embracing an American energy revolution which will benefit every American family and business. We need a president with a proven record of implementing conservative reforms, and Jeb Bush is that candidate.”

And after Jeb! withdrew, Hagerty flipped to Marco Rubio who just happened to show up at state Sen. Jack Johnson’s August event where Hagerty was featured. Hmmm.

Trump was Hagerty’s last choice because he won the primary with no thanks to the likes of Hagerty.

All of Hagerty’s picks before Trump, were known at the time and continue to be, supporters of amnesty for illegal aliens.

If you consider who the extremely wealthy money globicans are in Tennessee, then you realize that none of Hagerty’s moves have been coincidental.

How come no one in the media has asked Hagerty what he thinks about Romney’s incessant attacks and efforts to undermine the President?

Hagerty hasn’t and won’t disavow Romney. Hagerty’s gentle criticism of Romney for not opposing impeachment moves came two weeks after Senate candidate Manny Sethi had denounced Democrat impeachment efforts.

Sethi has been straightforward and clear that he won’t fall in line with the establishment. Hagerty, however, already has political IOUs and he is LOCKED INTO the McConnell globican machine.

Just wait until Tennessee globicans who went all out for East Tennessean’s Haslam and Randy Boyd (Hagerty’s successor at ECD hand-picked by Haslam) get started. The Senate primary election is setting up just like the gubernatorial primary that Boyd lost. The FACTS about Hagerty, simply don’t square up for Tennessee conservatives. Fortunately, there’s a better option.

Tennessee Students See Pro Illegal Immigrant, Anti Police Play.

As if children today don’t have enough issues to deal with, some Tennessee schools have taken their students, ranging from 3rd graders to high school to a play on immigration. “Return to Sender” is a production playing at the Nashville’s Children’s Theatre, based on a 2009 book detailing the life of a young Mexican girl. In this play, her parents, which are in America illegally, work on a farm in Vermont but could be deported if the young girls friends at school contact local authorities. One friend in particular is faced with the dilemma that if he was to tell authorities, his families farm would have to be sold as a result of losing the illegal worker.

In typical biased, anti-law enforcement form, one part of the play shows ICE agents approach a man, which they immediately begin to beat with night sticks. Artistic director Ernie Nolan of the theater states this play helps “reflect the communities of Nashville and allow families to have tough conversations”.

Return to Sender is a one sided, disgusting view of our law enforcement and promotes the acceptance of those here in America illegally. Furthermore, it is undermining what many parents may teach their children, from obeying our laws to respecting police, no matter what agency they work for. This play is nothing more than indoctrinating students with the belief that telling the truth may hurt your own family, therefore accept those breaking our laws, because if you don’t, the police will arrest and beat them.

So far students from Davidson, Rutherford and Williamson Counties have been taken to see this play. We at dailyrollcall.com urge you to contact your local schools to stop any planned trips to see this play.

Bill Hagerty, Samar Ali & Her Husband

Did Hagerty know Samar’s husband before or after he hired her and if so, what did Hagerty know or not know about him and his sharia finance experience?

We already know that globican Hagerty (an elitist who acts like he is entitled to Lamar’s U.S. Senate seat), knows Samar Ali and her father.

Shortly after Hagerty as Commissioner of TNECD hired Samar in 2012, it was reported by a long-time Republican blogger, that Hagerty told a First Tuesday gathering that “I got a call from her father asking me if I would look at her resume.”

Samar, however, claims that she met Hagerty through the White House fellows program, not through her father. While Hagerty and Ali were not White House fellows at the same time, Hagerty was a member and chair of the regional selection panel for the President’s Commission on White House Fellowships from 1997 – 2009, spanning the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations.

Samar served as a White House fellow from 2010 – 2011. Applications for the fellowships are accepted several months before the start of the following calendar year, so it’s certainly possible that Samar met Hagerty through the application process even if it was her father that put her resume in front of Hagerty.

By the time Hagerty hired Samar, she had married Amr El-Husseini on September 3, 2011.

Samar and El-Husseini share sharia compliant finance expertise. Samar was hired by Hagerty as the Assistant Commissioner for International Affairs.

The Haslam administration went to great lengths to conceal Samar’s sharia finance credentials from information released to the public even though her sharia finance credentials were plastered on websites of law firms she has worked for and included in her bios attached to different talks she has given.

At the time Samar was hired by Hagerty, other states like Illinois were looking at “growth opportunities” related to the Gulf states, so it stands to reason that Hagerty may have had similar ideas in mind. At the time Hagerty hired Samar, she and her husband El-Husseini, each brought deep contacts in Qatar and the UAE, or at least were connected to the financial centers.

Who is Amr El-Husseini?

In 2014, El-Husseini launched the Nashville-based Lodestone Advisory Group and serves as the Chief Executive Officer overseeing the company’s global operations. Samar serves as a director of the organization.

At the same time that El-Husseini was getting Lodestone off the ground, he started a two-year term as a “Board Member for an international banking subsidiary of the QIB Group.”

QIB stands for the Qatar Islamic Bank which is the largest sharia compliant lender in Qatar. A sharia supervisory board oversees the bank’s financial operations to ensure it is compliant with sharia law.

El-Husseini worked for QIB for over six years from 2008 to 2014, starting as an investment manager and eventually moving up to Senior Executive Manager & Head of International Development.

For at least three years of El-Husseini’s time at QIB, the long-standing spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Youssef al-Qaradawi served as the chairman of the sharia supervisory board. Qaradawi has described sharia compliant finance as “jihad with money.”

Qaradawi, “has held leadership positions in at least two groups that have been internationally sanctioned for their support of terrorist organizations.”

Sharia Finance Watch adds this: “[i]n 2001, Sheikh Qaradawi was the chairman of the Shariah Advisory Board of Bank al-Taqwa, which was shut down by the United Nations and the US Treasury Department for funneling large amounts of money to several Jihadist terrorist organizations, including Ayman al-Zawahiri’s Egyptian forerunner of Al Qaeda. Much of the money came through a Shariah-Compliant real estate firm in New Jersey and the money was funneled to the terrorist groups as zakat payments to charities. Last year, [2009], the US Treasury Department designated the Union of Good, an umbrella group of 57 charities run out of Saudi Arabia, as a terrorist entity. Qaradawi runs the Union of Good.”

Qaradawi is banned from entering the US and the UK because of his ties to terrorist organizations. Among his many fatwas he has condoned HAMAS suicide attacks and using women for suicide bombings against Israeli civilians. Qaradawi says that the “martyr operation” of blowing oneself up is, “the greatest of all sorts of jihad in the cause of Allah.”

Ironically, Qaradawi has predicted that Islam would, “conquer Europe [and] America – not through sword but through Da’wa [proselytizing for Islam].”

The QIB has also been identified by the US State Department as a funder of terrorism. In early 2018, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt, led by Saudi Arabia, “accuse[d] Qatar of financing extremist groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood” and cut off diplomatic and trade relations with Qatar. Going further, the UAE directed their financial institutions to freeze bank accounts and investments connected to banks and individuals in Qatar.

During his time at QIB, the good son-in-law-to-be, El-Husseini organized a fundraiser in Qatar for the Jerusalem Fund – the Jew and Israel hating D.C.-based organization led by Samar’s father Subhi Ali. El-Husseini and Ali could not have picked a more fitting locale since Qatar does not recognize the State of Israel and bans Israelis from entering the country.

Hagerty and co-White House fellow clubber Steve Gill, have defended against any legitimate questions being raised about Samar who more recently, helped get elected to Metro Council, the former AMAC chair who admires Jew-haters Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.

Is Hagerty looking more like a a pro-Islamist globalican as opposed to the picture he is trying to paint of himself growing up shoveling asphalt, baling hay, and raising pigs? Gee, aw shucks Bill, you left those “Tennessee roots” a long time ago to run with the elite money-handlers.

So far, “Hagerty’s Harem” of endorsers include:

Rep. Andy Holt

Sen. Jack Johnson

No matter how many endorsements Hagerty gets, the conservative base has a long memory and Samar’s recent involvement in local politics, the memories are all coming back like the bad dream it was.

The biggest mistake Hagerty and the Haslam administration made with the hiring of Samar, was not being honest with the conservative base. What makes anyone think Hagerty is any different today

Nashville’s Zulfat Suara Blessed By “Prayer” That Denigrates Jews and Christians

As Zulfat Suara was sworn into her position on the Metro Nashville Council, another Muslim opened the celebration with a prayer.

Please don’t let me be like the Christians or the Jews”, is the verse in the Al-Fatihah recited by Muslims. If they complete all five daily prayers, they will have recited the Al-Fatihah multiple times in the same day.

Authoritative Islamic scholars refer to the Al-Fatihah, the first chapter of the Quran, as containing “the meanings of the entire Qur’an”. The Al-Fatihah is considered so central to a Muslim’s prayer that if it is not recited, any and all other prayer is considered invalid.

“In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

All praise and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists,

the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

the Owner of the Day of Recompense.

You we worship, and You we ask for help.

Guide us to the straight path,

The way of those upon whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (that) of those who

earned your anger nor of those who went astray.”

Jews “earned your anger” and Christians are “those who went astray”

Ibn Kathir was a highly respected Muslim scholar (1301 CE – 1373 CE) credited with writing a commentary on the Quran that has been translated into several languages, including English. This commentary titled “Tafsir al-Qur’an al-Adhim” is reported to be popular because it uses the hadiths (sayings of Muhammad) to help explain the Quran. Ibn Kathir’s commentary explains the meaning of the last verse of the Al-Fatihah daily prayer that demeans and denounces Jews and Christians as follows:

“Not (the way) of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray, meaning:

These two paths are the paths of the Christians and Jews, a fact that the believer should beware of so that he avoids them. The path of the believers is knowledge of the truth and abiding by it. In comparison, the Jews abandoned practicing the religion, while the Christians lost the true knowledge. This is why `anger’ descended upon the Jews, while being described as `led astray’ is more appropriate of the Christians. Those who know, but avoid implementing the truth, deserve the anger, unlike those who are ignorant. The Christians want to seek the true knowledge, but are unable to find it because they did not seek it from its proper resources. This is why they were led astray. We should also mention that both the Christians and the Jews have earned the anger and are led astray, but the anger is one of the attributes more particular of the Jews.” Quran Surah (Sura) Fatihah Tafsir Ibn Kathir

No longer do Islamists hide their disdain for non believers. Imagine a prayer, recited at least 5 times a day, asking their god guide them as to not be like Christians and Jews. This is not only hypocritical, this is extremely offensive. It is one thing to be sworn in on a book that pledges allegiance to Allah’s law, but reciting a prayer denigrating Jews and Christians is quite another. When will this end? When we stop it. Every elected state level official needs to hear about this and publicly condemn it. This is no different that the Antisemitism spewed by Jew haters Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.

So many ask “what can we do?”…contact your House and Senate members now. That is what you can do.

Nashville Muslim Takes Oath On Quran..Is She Defying Her Own Beliefs?

As yet another Muslim takes an oath of office on a Quran, many believe it is appropriate, especially if that person is not a Christian. Taking an oath on a Bible is not a requirement for those duly elected to official positions but stating one’s allegiance to the U.S Constitution is.

In this case in Nashville Tennessee, in November of 2018, an amendment to the Charter of Metropolitan TN, was voted on, and passed. The amendment stated: Part I, Article III of the Metropolitan Charter shall be amended by inserting into Article III a new subsection 3.08 Oath of Office as follows: “Sec. 3.08. Oath of Office. Each person who shall be elected as a member of council, shall, before entering on the duties of that office, take an oath to support the Constitution of this State, the Constitution of the United States, and the Charter of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County.”

SO why is taking an oath of office on a Quran a problem? According to Islamic law, Muslims must only adhere to, and enforce laws created by Allah. Swearing to uphold man made laws, such as constitutions is a shirk, or major sin. This may be quite the conundrum for Zulfat Suara, a Nigerian Muslim who just placed her hand on a Quran, which is pledging her allegiance to the laws of Islam, not the U.S.

In 2015, Yasir Qadhi, an Islamic scholar and professor from Memphis TN openly supported the American Muslim Advisory Council, (AMAC) the organization Ms. Suara chaired. He also openly declared his dissatisfaction with those who believe in laws made from man. Watch here as Tennessee Muslim Yasir Qadhi chastises those who make laws.

Other Islamic scholars have also written extensively regarding man made law. This is an excerpt from an Islamic question and answer site, which is very clear on the position of following laws not created by Allah.

So the question that needs to be asked of Ms. Suara is Since the Quran declares that only Allah can make laws, Do you support this passage in the Quran or do you support man made laws in defiance of Islamic Law?

We’ll wait for an answer.

What Tennessee’s Conservative Base Knows About Bill Hagerty

Tennessee conservatives are keenly aware of Hagerty’s ties to establishment/globalist Republicans Lamar Alexander, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Mitt Romney, McConnell and former governor, Bill Haslam.

Hagerty served as national finance chairman for Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign.

He was a Jeb Bush delegate in 2016 and then flipped to Marco Rubio after Jeb withdrew. He didn’t support Trump until after the primary.

Rubio has been a long-standing proponent of expanding the H1B visa program to bring in foreign workers who end up under-cutting American workers – especially those graduating with tech degrees. Bob Iger, CEO of Disney and co-founder of the Partnership for a New American Economy has invested millions of dollars into Rubio’s campaigns. Disney put 200+ American tech workers out of jobs after they trained their foreign worker replacements.

And Rubio, Hagerty’s choice for President over Trump, was a co-sponsor of the disastrous Gang of 8 comprehensive immigration amnesty bill in 2013.

It is also well known that Hagerty has a close relationship with Samar Ali, whose father is Chairman of a virulently anti-Israel, pro-BDS organization headquartered in D.C.

2011 – Hagerty was appointed by former Gov. Bill Haslam to serve as Commissioner of the Department of Economic & Community Development (ECD). In this position, Hagerty used his position to benefit Lamar Alexander family members.

2012 – shortly after his appointment, Hagerty promoted Lamar Alexander’s son Will (already employed by ECD), to ECD’s Chief of Staff. At the same time, Will served as treasurer for a Nashville based refugee resettlement contractor. Shortly before leaving ECD in 2015, Hagery hired Lamar’s daughter Leslee. At that time he also hired the daughter of TDOT Commissioner Jim Schroer who had previously interned for Bob Corker.

Hagerty filled Will’s position with Alice Rolli, a former Larmar staffer in D.C. One year later, Rolli served as campaign manager for Lamar’s 2014 primary.

At the same time, Hagerty hired Samar Ali as Asst. Commissioner for International Affairs. Publicly available Information about Ali’s strong background in sharia compliant finance (SCF) work, quickly surfaced.

Within a short time of Ali’s hiring, Nashville radio hosts and conservative grassroots groups were publicly questioning the Haslam administration about Ali’s appointment. In response, Hagerty spoke at the July 2012, “First Tuesday” gathering and addressed his hiring of Ali. A long-time blogger in attendance reported Hagerty saying that “I got a call from her father asking me if I would look at her resume.”

Hagerty’s disclosure resulted in attention to Samar’s father, Subhi Ali, M.D.’s leadership of the anti-Israel Jerusalem Fund in D.C.

After President Trump tweeted his support for a Hagerty Senate candidacy, the Samar Ali issue re-emerged. A facebook entry includes a comment by a Samar Ali who claims that she met Hagerty through the White House fellows program, not through her father.

While Hagerty and Ali did not serve as White House fellows at the same time, Hagerty served as a member and chair of the regional selection panel for the President’s Commission on White House Fellowships during the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations, presumably overlapping with Ali’s appointment as an Obama White House fellow.

Samar served as treasurer for American Muslim Advisory Council former chair, now board member, Zulfat Suara, to the Metro Nashville City Council.

So, who do you think will have access to Hagerty????
