Tennessee. The Buckle of the Bible Belt, home to the majority of Christian based businesses and churches, continues to be the target for the growing number of Islamic anti-Jew, and anti- American organizations and individuals.
Because of past and current elected officials in the state of Tennessee legitimizing Muslim Brotherhood front groups, cities like Knoxville and Nashville have a booming number of Islamists who no longer seek to hide their relationship with the Brotherhood.
This time of year, the MB begins it annual schedule of conventions, rife with extreme rhetoric and speakers known for their hate of Jews, Israel, and the United States. And yes if you are attending or speaking, you are as guilty of promoting their message as anyone who attends a KKK conference.
Rashed Fakhruddin, the current president of the Islamic Center of Nashville, who many believe is the darling of the Muslim community, is scheduled to speak at the Muslim Brotherhoods largest organization in the U.S, the Islamic Society of North America. (ISNA) convention.Not surprising though, since his mosque has the same PO box as ISNA, and has received over $17,000 in donations from Cat Stevens (aka Yusef Islam), a supporter of Hamas.
This isn’t Fakhruddin’s first trip to the ISNA convention. In 2018, he also was a speaker.
While many that know Fakhruddin will undoubtedly roll their eyes, and defend him, perhaps they should wonder why their friend would attend and speak at a conference that is filled with hateful, anti-Semitic and anti-American views. It wasn’t long ago the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) used its website to remind Muslims of Quran and Hadith verses that they are to hate, and kill Jews. Of course most of that has been removed, but screenshots are amazing evidence. (Thanks to JK)
One of the most despicable, radical men speaking at the same conference Fakhruddin is speaking at, is Sirhaj Wahhaj, the imam that heads the Masjid At-Taqwa in Bedford-Stuyvesant NY, a mosque known for radical ties to terrorism, and is home of the blind sheik,Omar Abdel-Rahman who was responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Wahhaj has been looked at as a co-conspirator in that same bombing.
Wahhaj is also the father of Sirhaj Jr. who last year was arrestedalong with 4 others for running a training camp in New Mexico teaching small children how to kill other children. Sirhaj Jr. also has been charged in the murder of his 3 year old.
Another speaker is the self proclaimed diva of the Womens March, Linda Sarsour. Sarsour is a Palestinian Muslim, born in Brooklyn NY, who not only spews anti -Jewish hate, but believes “dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”
In 2017, during at speech at another Muslim Brotherhood convention she stated she hoped allah would accept a fight against the Trump administration would be considered jihad, and that Muslims do not have to assimilate .
This is a very small glimpse into the rhetoric repeated by speaker after speaker at ISNA conferences. Would you not demand answers and accountability if your elected official, religious leader, or community activist attended and spoke at a conference where they were surrounded by anti-Jewish, anti-America hatred? Mr. Fakhruddin should be asked the same. Remember…
If you lay down with dogs, you get fleas. Fakhruddin must be loaded with them
August 9 will mark five years since Michael Brown of Ferguson MO was shot and killed after attempting to steal a police officers gun during a struggle. “Hands up don’t shoot” was the lie that fueled days of riots in Ferguson egged on by social justice groups and Muslims for Ferguson
.
In keeping with the narrative that Michael Brown is somehow a martyr for the black community, Browns father is asking the criminal investigation be reopened. “On this 5-year anniversary, I will be asking St. Louis County Prosecutor Attorney Wesley Bell to reopen this case or obtain a prosecutor and investigate the information and see if it can go forward in reopening.”
Besides the probability this request would spark more civil unrest, it also is against the double jeopardy clause, where a defendant cannot face the same charges twice. It is a no win situation, because whether the prosecutor denies the request, or tries to go forward, undoubtedly the decision will cause anger within a community that refuses to move on. With the climate today being one of disrespect and hatred for law enforcement, one must wonder why this would even be considered.
More than likely, activists within the community in Ferguson, are looking to reopen old wounds, and jump on the anti-police bandwagon again, as it seems it’s the in thing to cause civil unrest and more divisiveness.
What started it all…Michael Brown attempting to rob store owner.
It isn’t about justice, it was duly served, and Officer Darren Wilson was determined to be innocent. It is about the continuing efforts to dismantle and destroy law enforcement as we know it. Police are no longer allowed to do their job, as they face backlash for their split second decisions, both by the community they serve and often their own superiors and elected officials.
There is no sincere effort to form an alliance with police, as we have seen with the “Black Lives Matter” movement, which was born in 2014. This movement has only caused more hatred and bias against the police. Even police training has become more about social justice and civil rights than tools for them to perform their jobs effectively.
Police agencies across the U.S, now includes “implicit Bias” and “Procedural Justice” training, for whatever good that does. Suggesting only police officers have biases in ludicrous. Every human being has some sort of bias, however it does not mean they cannot perform a job.
The bigger picture is to continue to breakdown society, where laws and enforcement of them are no longer effective. Chaos will ultimately be the end game, if activists have their way. Perhaps it is time to put responsibility and accountability where it belongs..in the communities where criminals are born and raised. Until then, lawlessness will become the norm.
So while American politicians are busy running campaigns, making promises and statements that are irrelevant according to the issues today, Muslim politicians, and those considering becoming one, attended a conference called the. Muslim Caucus Collective for Equitable Democracy. In what appeared to be a who’s who from the Muslim political arena,including anti-American, anti- white, and Jew hater Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, the topic of conversation was about obtaining the power and influence needed to change America as it is.
Two extreme Muslim Brotherhood front groups were present, including CAIR’s Nihad Awad, who supports Hamas, and Keith Ellison, a member of the United States Council for Muslim Organizations (USCMO). Ellison, a former congressman, now is the Attorney General for the State of Minnesota. This conference should be of great concern for all Americans, including our elected officials.
While many may view this 3 day conference as just typical, one must understand the true meaning and danger it poses to our system. It isn’t about Muslims coming together to solve their own issues, it is a strategy to undermine, and implement the path for Muslims to gain power. Millions of Americans continue to see Muslims as a special class that need protections, as they claim they are discriminated against, and harassed on a daily basis. Playing victim has served them well, as it enables them to garner the sympathy and support of those same Americans.
One such example of claiming victimhood at this conference was an exchange Congresswoman Ilhan Omar had with a member of the audience who asked a question about female genital mutilation (fgm), which occurs to young Muslim women here and abroad. Rather than answering the question, or taking a stand against it, Omar thinks it is grand standing time and chastises the woman for asking the question. How dare someone ask a Congresswoman if she believes in FGM! Watch the exchange here:
'As Muslim legislators we are constantly being asked to waste our time speaking to issues that other people are not asked to speak to.' — Watch @IlhanMN shut down this biased, 'appalling' question pic.twitter.com/m1mthJxK8J
The bottom line of this conference was to make other Muslims, thinking about running for office, to be victims, and you will be successful. When in reality, Muslims aren’t victims at all, but rather conniving members of American society, that believe their “duty” is to fundamentally transform.
Keith Ellison, the former Congressman, now the Attorney General in Minnesota, a state destined to be destroyed by Islamists, declared in his presentation ” If you have a Muslim value system, you have a duty to help the community you are in”. Not an “American” value system, a Muslim one. It isn’t about being an American, its all about being a Muslim.
What other “religious” community declares their duty to be elected to public office? What other “religious” group insists they have power and influence in American politics? If you understand the answer is none, then you get it. Muslims are not here in America to be equal, but rather to dominate, as their doctrine subscribes. American politicians need to wake up and realize they may be replaced by an Islamist in the near future. It is incumbent upon every elected official to uphold American policies, and values, not those of Muslim ones.
Until we all wake up and see the writing on the wall, Muslims will continue to be empowered, and emboldened to force change. A change that will tilt America to the point of no return.
In case you haven’t been following the news, Alexandria Occasional Cortex, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, four America-hating progressives in Congress are now being referred to as “The squad.”
At least two members of “The Squad” – Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib – have also voiced their hatred of all things Israel and Jews.
Pressley is only interested in black and brown people who will only agitate for black and brown people.
Occasional Cortex hates everything about us and falls in line with her squad comrades.
Tennessee’s squadster began tweeting out her America-hating-Jew-hating messages long before the others were elected by the other America-hating progressives in their districts.
Drost Kokoye is a Kurdish refugee who like Ilhan Omar was resettled to the U.S. when she was a child and like Omar, hates Americans but greedily takes advantage of the freedoms our country offers haters like herself.
Kokoye cultivated her “I hate America” persona, as a Multicultural Organizer and Board member for the TN Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC).
In the same year that Kokoye helped launch the TN American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC), serving as a board member since its founding, she was featured by TIRRC in their “Faces of New American Voters” campaign.
Two years later, Kokoye was busy tweeting out her rejection of our country and its values:
Putting her words into action, Kokoye worked to subvert our rules that help ensure the integrity of the voting process. While registering voters at a Nashville mosque, she advised voter registrants that they could misrepresent registration information to better fit her (and their) anti-Israel political agenda.
Honing her hatred of all things Jew and Israel, she led a pro-HAMAS rally outside the Tennessee capitol building and teamed up with virulent Jew hater Linda Sarsour who subsequently became a featured speaker for AMAC events.
And never once, did AMAC’s leader Zulfat Suara have her outspoken board member Drost Kokoye tone down her anti-Jew rhetoric.
Kokoye is also a vocal supporter of the anti-Israel BDS (Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions) movement, which has been outed for the Jew-hatred it tries to conceal using alleged concern for Arab humanitarian rights.
Zulfat’s political idols Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib have introduced a pro-BDS resolution Congress. Omar has falsely equated the BDS movement with the boycotts of Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s, a comparison in keeping with her slew of Jew-hating anti-Semitic remarks.
Often referred to as “Little Kurdistan,” in 2004, Nashville was selected as one of five U.S. sites where Iraqis living in the U.S. as U.S. citizens, could vote in Iraq’s elections. Needless to say, Kokoye rushed to quench her allegiance to her native country.
As far as we’re concerned, Kokoye is welcome to return to her native country and take her hatred for America and our ally Israel, with her. We promise not to write.
At a time when police officers are targets of harassment, discrimination and violence, one should be questioning why new cadets are being sent to a Muslim Brotherhood mosque to learn about Islam. The Islamic Center of Nashville (ICN), its leaders and speakers, should not be training law enforcement, or anyone else. So lets look at some of the history of the ICN.
This is the same mosque singer Cat Stevens, now known as Yusef Islam, donated $17,000 to, to help purchase the building and the adjacent lot. In the 1990’s Stevens was banned from entering the United States after he raised tens of thousands of dollars for Hamas in cooperation with its British fundraising arm, known as the Relief Fund for Lebanon and Palestine. Hamas is a designated terrorist organization in the U.S.
Chair of the ICN Rasheed Farkhruddin with Cat Stevens (aka Yusef Islam)
Another issue with the property itself is who is listed on the deed as having the same address. The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), is one of the largest Muslim Brotherhood organizations within the United States. If you consider the Muslim Brotherhood a “moderate” political party, as Obama led so many to believe, then you have no issue with this, and good luck as the Muslim Brotherhood is one of the most violent, barbaric groups in the Middle East.
In addition to its Muslim Brotherhood affiliations, the current imam, Ossama Muhammad Bahloul hails from Cairo Egypt, where he attended Al-Azahar University, which is dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood. Not only does the Muslim Brotherhood use the university to recruit thousands of students to adopt ISIS-style beliefs, the Brotherhood used the organization to train young people for combat, including members of Al-Qaida.
Imam Ossama Bahloul
The Islamic Center of Nashville is the same mosque where Carlos Bledsoe also known as Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad joined while attending Tennessee State University. After becoming a member of the ICN, Carlos was sent to Yemen, where he thought he would be learning Arabic, but instead was exposed to radical, anti-American propaganda, and was “brainwashed”, according to his father Melvin Bledsoe of Memphis TN. Carlos changed his name to Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, after the imam at that time at the ICN. In 2009, Carlos went to Little Rock Arkansas where he shot and killed 2 soldiers in the name of Allah. The below documentary Losing Our Sons is based on the activities at the ICN leading up to the death of those soldiers.
The American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) was also involved in the current training. AMAC was formed in 2012 in opposition to an anti terrorist material support bill, and whose members have partnered with the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), aka Hamas. Recent lady chair of AMAC, and now member, Zulfat Suara has shown her true colors as she expressed her inspiration and honor towards Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. Both women have spewed anti-Semitic remarks, which they still stand by today.
The Islamic Center of Nashville is the same mosque that invites speakers such as Siraj Wahhaj– who was raised as a Baptist but converted to Islam under the leadership of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. He is the imam at the al-Taqwa mosque in New York. He preaches that the U.S. should and will become an Islamic state because “Islam is better than democracy.” What does Wahhaj tell his audiences?
“Islam is better than democracy. Allah will cause his deen [Islam as a complete way of life], Islam to prevail over every kind of system, and you know what? It will happen.”
“If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate. If we were united and strong, we’d elect our own emir and give allegiance to him. Take my word, if eight million Muslims unite in America, the country will come to us,” he said in 1992.
“You don’t get involved in politics because it’s the American thing to do. You get involved in politics because politics are a weapon to use in the cause of Islam.”
This is just a few examples of what and who is a part of the Islamic Center of Nashville, where young cadets are being brought to learn about Islam. Why, with what is happening to our law enforcement everyday, Islam a topic they must learn about? Are other religious leaders insisting police officers learn about their religion and culture?
No, they aren’t. And one can also conclude AMAC and the ICN are not discussing real issues the police need to know such as crimes within the Muslim community, gang activity, what businesses are running scams, or how to effectively interview Muslims. No instead, AMAC sums up their arrogant reason for instructing law enforcement..”How to best serve them”.
As a retired police officer from NY, and former instructor myself, I have great respect and concern for law enforcement today, and can only hope our new cadets are able to put their propaganda is perspective.
In 2007, the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusef Al Qaradawi stated there is no war needed to conquer the west, but rather a peaceful conquest…called dawa. Dawa is the invitation by a Muslim to join Islam, often through proselytizing. This is only done in non Muslim majority countries, but as the population of Muslims increase, the concept of dawa becomes less, and the choice to become a Muslim is either pay a tax, called jizya, revert or die.
Currently, in the United States, dawa is increasing, and ignorant Christians and Jews are flooding mosques to hear a false message of peace and tolerance. Oddly enough, in Tennessee, the “Buckle of the Bible Belt”, dawa is not only permitted, but embraced and supported. On July 13 2019, The Islamic Center of Tennessee welcomed Imam Anwar Arafat to give a presentation on how to use dawa, and now on July 20, Dr. Sabeel Ahmed will continue that topic.
Sabeel Ahmed is a master at dawa, which he reveals as he opens dialogues with non Muslims by saying.” I help people find peace and purpose in life.”
Who doesn’t agree with finding peace and your purpose in life? However, he uses this message to plant the seed of Islam in those who are ignorant of what Islam really is. The Methodology of Dawa, written by Shamim Siddiqui, which is a private guide for Muslims to perform Dawa, however sends a different message. Dawa is like a magicians trick, watch this hand, while the other hand does something else.
It’s that something else that is found in the Methodology of Dawa, you need to be concerned about. While Muslims like Sabeel Ahmed like to use slick pickup lines, his goal is the same as this passage in this document.
Making Allah’s deen (religion) dominant is the goal and religious obligation of every Muslim.
So now that you see the public way Muslims use dawa, lets look at what their private guides suggest. The following are excerpts which lays the foundation as to why Muslims must use dawa.
As we witness everyday, Muslims have portrayed themselves as victims of religious discrimination, which has gained them support and sympathy. This, as they say is the “game of strategy”.
If you are paying attention to the Islamic movement here in America, specifically in states like Tennessee, this excerpt is correct in that we recognize their strategy and are exposing it.
This is exactly what is happening.
Remember, Sabeel Ahmed’s line “I help people find peace and purpose in life.” All in an attempt to make you believe those speaking the truth about Islam are wrong. It’s all about peace and purpose.
As we have extensively discussed before, the Islamic movement is in full force, and continues to forge ahead by Muslims gaining power within our government. In this excerpt, it validates the use of dawa, as a means to be accepted enough to garner support and be elected to our highest political offices.
It should be clear dawa is a tool used by the Islamic movement, even in the Buckle of the Bible Belt, to gain power by sympathy and once in positions of power, as they now are in Congress, the ability to effect change will soon be very noticeable.
If we are to remain the great republic we are, we must learn from their documents and beliefs rather than rush to hear and believe their words. Remember their “I help people find peace and purpose in life.” is not the peace and purpose we believe in.
Watch for part two coming soon!
Read the entire document the Methodology of Dawa here
For those unfamiliar with the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the following one minute and thirty seven second video sums it all up.
So why should Tennesseans care?
Do not be fooled by CAIR’s public promotion of being a Muslim civil rights organization, they are nothing more than a front group for a terrorist organization whose goal is the Islamization of society.
On July 5th, Ahmed Shqeirat, an imam from the Islamic Community of Tempe Arizona, came to Memphis TN to ask for support in helping fight “Islamophobia”.Ahmad Shqeirat is one of the 6 imams involved with the Flying Imamsincident at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport on November 20, 2006.
In an articleabout Shqeirat it was reported “I was struck by the political nature of his sermons. He repeatedly criticized both U.S. domestic and foreign policy and often exaggerated Muslim victimization. He advocated political unification of Muslims internationally and blamed the United States, Israel, and the West for perceived slights. He called for the political empowerment of Muslims in American society.
On camera, Shqeirat invokes his desire for a global Islamic state, which he claims “is not a threat to anybody…. Establishing Islamic law was a positive experience.”
On Friday, April 6, 2007 Shqeirat attended a rally in support Rafil Dhafir, who is currently serving 22 years in federal prison for raising millions of dollars and funneling it to “charities” in Iraq through the Holy Land Foundation in addition to diverting $300,000 for his private use.
Shqeirat is executive secretary of the North American IMAMS Federation, which is tightly linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.
While CAIR has remained in the background of many incidents here in Tennessee, the groundwork for them has been laid by the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC), who unfortunately was legitimized and supported by the Haslam administration. AMAC, who claims to be a bridge builder uses “religion” as a guise to infiltrate all areas of local politics,education, and law enforcement. Members of AMAC, continue to promote CAIRS agenda by running for various political positions, and lobbying for open borders, and rights for illegals.
Because AMAC has made itself appear like a moderate, Muslim organization, run by pious individuals, their ability to gain sympathy and support throughout Tennessee has grown. AMAC undoubtedly will use their influence to introduce CAIR as their partner and ally against what they falsely claim as islmophobia in Tennessee.
CAIR has vowed to have over 100 Muslim “groomed” to be able to run for political offices on all levels in 2020. With AMAC being an ally of CAIR, it isn’t hard to understand why member of AMAC Zulfat Suara is running for an at large seat on the Nashville Metro Council. Suara, who is Nigerian born, recently made statements her religion was under attack, a typical move by Muslims who claim Islamophobia is rampant in Tennessee. While riding on her new found sympathy, once again Suara showed her true colors for the United States, by repeatedly holding the American flag upside down while attending a fourth of July event.
It isn’t about being part of America, accepting the laws, and assimilating, its all about the power to influence and effect change. What groups like AMAC can’t accomplish with sympathy, CAIR will accomplish with law suits.
Keep in mind, CAIR’s ultimate goal is that of Hamas’..the Islamization of society. If they can take the “Buckle of the Bible Belt”, the rest of the country will fall easy.
The paper’s “faith reporter” Holly Meyer wrote Suara’s sob story about her hurt feelings to gin up a sympathy vote as she tries to win an at-large seat on the Metro Nashville Council.
L to R: Kasar Abdullah, Zulfat Suara, unknown
Suara says she’s received hurtful comments because she is a Muslim even though she hasn’t made her religion part of her campaign. That is, except for the part where she wants everyone to know that if she wins one of the three at-large council seats, she’ll be the first Muslim in Tennessee elected to a political office.
Suara claims that she’s running for the Metro Council because she just wants to give back to the city and the country that’s given her so much.
What Suara conceals behind the “I want to give back to the city” dribble, is that she stands the best chance of winning a seat on the Council only if she runs at-large instead of running for her District 22 seat. Sheri Weiner who currently represents Suara’s Council district, is termed-out so she is running for one of the three at-large seats up for grabs.
Only three candidates are running for the District 22 seat where Suara lives. Suara lives in a district where she owns a newly constructed house valued at over a half million dollars.
But Suara has opted to be one of 15 candidates trying to win one of three at-large seats – why?
Because Suara knows that running at-large is the only way she can get the refugee, immigrant and other extreme leftist voters who either don’t live in her district or not enough of them live in her district.
Demographic information taken from the 2017 American Community Survey for Suara’s district shows 5.87% are foreign born residents with almost 6% of the district population not being able to vote because they aren’t citizens. That is, until Suara and her ilk push voting rights for non-citizens and illegals in local elections.
She’s counting on the “My Muslim Vote” campaign to help her win.
L to R: Drost Kokoy, Zulfat Suara, Sabina Mohyuddin, Salah Sbenaty, Imam Bahloul
“My Muslim Vote” started as a national Muslim voter registration initiative organized by grassroots Muslim organizations to reach and register thousands of Muslim voters.
Joining with groups like MPower Change and CAIR, a HAMAS front organization, Suara and her crew of far left radicals brought the “My Muslim Vote” to Tennessee.
Vocal anti-Semite Linda Sarsour was a principal founder of MPower Change. In 2016, under Suara’s leadership, AMAC brought Sarsour to Tennessee and featured her and AMAC’s anti-Semitic board member Drost Kokoye, in a program on “intersectionality.”
Two years later, MPower Change named Suara as the “Muslim Policy Advocate of the Year.”
For Suara, Muslim-centric goals have only ever been the focus and will remain her focus if elected to the Metro Council.
Suara whines to the reporter that she’s being attacked for her religion even though she didn’t make her religion part of her political platform – “Suara, a Nigerian immigrant who chooses to wear a head covering because of her faith, did not not make her religion part of her platform because she believes in the separation of church and state.”
Suara’s claim to the “separation of church and state” is misleading and deceptive. Islamic religious doctrine, which she says is why she covers her head, is the same doctrine which dictates that Islam must dominate non-Muslims and forces us to submit to all their demands just as it is prescribed in the Quran. Suara wants freedom to practice her religion but have the restrictions also apply to everyone. It’s like this: kosher for Jews means THEY don’t eat pork; halal for Muslims means NOBODY eats pork.
Translation: to protect the rights of Muslims to practice their religion means depriving non-Muslims of rights such as freedom of speech.
Remember the Islamist outrage over the drawing of Mohammed contest? Closer to home, Awadh Binhazim, the former volunteer Muslim chaplain at Vanderbilt and a prolific proselytizer of Islam (dawah), was part of a 2006 panel at the Vanderbilt First Amendment Center discussing the Mohammed cartoons. At that time he was also listed as an adjunct professor of Islam at the Vanderbilt Divinity School. Binhazim was quoted as stating that “all Muslims” view the publication of the cartoons as a “provocation.” It was reported that he openly supported suppressing speech and that Muslims “do not share the value of free speech as it is recognized here”; a statement consistent with Islamic blasphemy laws and actions by Islamic organizations in the U.S. and Europe, to criminalize speech that Muslims find offensive.
The freedoms that Suara has here as opposed to her native Nigeria, are ones that she has worked tirelessly to abridge while leading the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC).
Under Suara’s leadership, AMAC, working with CAIR, a HAMAS front organization. succeeded in bullying Trevecca University into canceling a Homeland Security Summit featuring John Guandolo, Cathy Hinners and Bill Warner.
In fact, under Suara’s leadership AMAC has effectively become CAIR’s Tennessee state chapter. Don’t be surprised if in the not too distant future we see a former AMAC board member recently graduated with a law degree, be hired to formally head up a CAIR-TN office. Surely there is room in the Conexion Americas Casa Azafran building, the site that functions as the headquarters for the TIRRC-AMAC-ACO groupees.
The Tennessean’s boo-hoo piece only casually mentions Suara’s leadership of AMAC during which time she attached herself and AMAC to Linda Sarsour, one of the most vocal Islamist anti-Semites. Nor did Suara ever take steps to address AMAC board member Drost Kokoye’s repeated tweeting of anti-Semitic slander and Jew-hatred activism.
Instead, Suara drooled over Jew-hating Islamists Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib – “Blessed to have met you both and honored to be inspired by you. Thank you for your courage to serve and in doing so inspire many. This Congress is truly inspirational and there are many young girls out there that because of you and the other ‘first’ are thinking why not!”
Forget Suara’s religion – really, who even cares. Look at who Suara collaborates with and who inspires her. That’s what should concern voters in Davidson County.
AMAC’s goals and tactics for achieving the goals of political Islam is the same as CAIR’s. Neither can be distinguished from the other.
In 2011, when AMAC was launched, four it’s board members also established AMAC’s lobbying arm, the American Center for Outreach (ACO). The four AMAC board members also served as the officers and board for the ACO.
Their first act of political push-back was to bring CAIR’s lawyer Gadeir Abbas to the capitol to oppose the material support anti-terrorism bill.
From the beginning, the AMAC-ACO duo as organizations and as individual members, have been partnering with CAIR undeterred by the fact that CAIR, a creation of the Muslim Brotherhood, serves as a front organization for HAMAS. Nor is there any concern that CAIR pushes a virulent anti-Israel agenda. Nor have AMAC-ACO members been concerned about CAIR’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and to “Islamic extremism and terrorism.”
Former CAIR state directors have either help lead the AMAC-ACO group, partnered with its members, or been brought to Tennessee to train Muslim teenagers into political Islam activism.
AMAC-ACO CAIR-linked activism is being executed in Tennessee via seemingly unobjectionable motives such as “preventing discrimination and bullying”, “countering prejudice”, “correcting misinformation”, “supplementing school curriculum”, dawa (proselytizing Islam) by providing “cultural” presentations especially to school and church groups, interfaith dialogue, and promoting religious freedom. All result in silencing any and all critical analysis of political Islam’s true intentions for the kafirs of Tennessee.
In lockstep with CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood plan, AMAC-ACO works to insinuate Islamic values and customs in a gradual, yet comprehensive manner to displace our Judeo-Christian foundation.
For all intents and purposes, CAIR is HAMAS
CAIR was started with money from the Holy Land Foundation Islamic charity and was planned to be a public relations and recruiting arm in the U.S. for the terrorist group “HAMAS” (an acronym for “Islamic Resistance Movement”).
This document was entered into evidence and authenticated during the the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) trial, the biggest and most successful terrorism financing prosecution in the U.S. Five HLF leaders were convicted for providing material support in the form of $12 million dollars, to help the terrorist group HAMAS eliminate the State of Israel.
In 1997, the U.S. designated HAMAS as a foreign terrorist organization.
CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF trial. In 2009, a federal judge ruled that CAIR’s status as an unindicted co-conspirator would stand since the government had extensive evidence tying CAIR to HAMAS.
The ADL website confirms CAIR’s Muslim Brotherhood and HAMAS ties. It also cites CAIR among the Top 10 Anti-Israel groups in the U.S.:
“CAIR also continues to offer a platform to conspiratorial Israel-bashers and outright anti-Semites. For example, CAIR’s Florida chapter operates a Web site that makes anti-Semitic material available for visitors interested in learning about Islam. CAIR also organizes anti-Israel rallies during which protestors and speakers engage in anti-Semitic rhetoric, use offensive Holocaust imagery likening Jews and Israelis to Nazis, and express support for terror groups.”
In Tennessee, for example, in 2013, under the ACO umbrella, CAIR- Michigan director Dawud Walid was brought in to train Muslim high school students in political Islam activism. Dawud Walid has declared CAIR’s role as being “defenders of the Palestinian struggle.” While he downplays the terrorist group al-Shabaab as a group “that’s been involved in a lot of fighting,” he reminds his audiences that Jews “incurred the wrath of Allah.”
Zulfat Suara an AMAC co-founder and chair until just recently, has publicly declared her idol worship for CAIR endorsers Ilhan Omar, a former CAIR-Minnesota advisory board member and Rashida Tlaib. Both Omar and Tlaib assist CAIR in fundraising. Suara has not condemned either Omar or Tlaib’s anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism.
