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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why the 2011 anti-terrorism legislation?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jihad in the U.S. including Tennessee

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Linda Sarsour & Suara

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

Does Muslim Holy Month Garner More Attention Than Christian Or Jewish Ones?

 

   On the holiest day of the year for Christians, Easter Sunday, churches were eerily empty, with congregations forced to stay at home due to a virus, and restrictions that don’t allow 10 or more  people to gather. While some pastors broke those guidelines, and faced arrest, many others were harassed by state police officers taking vehicle license plate information as they chose to attend services. Easter Sunday for millions was instead celebrating alone in their homes watching streaming or televised services. The day passed quietly, leaving many sad and unfulfilled.

On April 24, Muslims began their month-long observation of Ramadan, and they want to be sure everyone knows it. While mosques will remain closed, Muslims in many large cities have sought, and received noise permits, so that the Adhan, or call to prayer could be broadcast across communities. Jacob Frey, the Mayor of Minneapolis was the first to embrace the idea, as Muslims in the Cedar Riverside community, along with CAIR ( Council on American Islamic Relations aka Hamas) requested the executive order to permit prayers to be heard over loud speakers, 5 times a day.

Sounding more like a political statement, the author of an article by Dr. Michael Van Keulen printed in the Star Tribune, states “I believe that this is a moment when we are called to our democratic principles. I encourage all of us to not be distracted by fearmongering or hate speech. The call to prayer is no more a sign of a religion taking over than those beautiful church bells I have heard for years. Our nation is strong enough to value and include our diversity. Our people are strong enough to ensure that all can live with dignity. Accepting that this is a year that challenges our sense of community, I hope that in the end, this time results a greater and more inclusive nation.”  Church bells ringing hardly are hardly the same than a prayer being recited in public. 

As if that weren’t enough, NYC will be supplying 500,000 halal (permissible) food to Muslims for the entire month of Ramadan: About 400,000 Halal meals will be distributed at 32 Department of Education buildings and another 100,000 will be served through community organizations during the month. Mayor Bill DeBlasio had this to say about these meals “One of Ramadan’s most noble callings is to feed the hungry,” de Blasio said during a Thursday news briefing. “To remember to be there for those in need. And that is now harder than ever now that people can’t go to their mosques.”

While this program overall serves kosher food as well, it is a program many cities have to feed those in need during this pandemic, but not specifically for a month-long religious event.  As CAIR ( Council on American Islamic Relations aka Hamas) continues to publicize their bogus reports of Muslims being oppressed and discriminated against, it is clear, they are not at all but rather just the opposite. For years now, many businesses, schools and organizations have issued guidelines for recognizing Muslim holy days, dictating what to do and not do while their Muslim employees or students practice their faith, including fasting during Ramadan.  In this article in the Business Insider, it suggests “But don’t make jokes about your colleague not having coffee or eating lunch, either.” as that would be offensive.

As if the month of April has not had any other highly religious holy days, the Tennessean published an article “How one Brentwood family is adapting their Ramadan traditions during the COVID-19 crisis”. The article picturing a doctor with his family on their mansions front stairs, while Nashville Scene features another article, “Nashville’s Muslim Community Prepares for a Ramadan Unlike Any Other”.

 

By all appearances, it seems many news outlets are smitten with the Muslim community, promoting them to be somehow more pious or affected by this virus than others.  Muslims have created this false sense of importance, that they are the only ones that are making sacrifices during this crisis. Yet were there massive efforts to feed needy Christians during the holy week of Easter or Jews for Passover? Were Christians allowed to hear sermons over loud speakers  in their neighborhoods during their holy week? Did newspapers send reporters to Christians homes to see how they were affected by celebrating the joys of Easter alone in their homes?  Do businesses and schools have specific guidelines to address what their Christians and Jewish employees and students can and cannot do during their holy days? You be the judge.

If one thing can be learned by this, is Muslims in America are not oppressed, discriminated against or harassed like they claim, but rather are placed on pedestals that promote them as a special class somehow more worthy of acknowledgement, and if treated differently, CAIR will be knocking on your door with lawsuit papers in hand.

Muslim Women Excited Others Are Wearing “Face Coverings”

The New Normal?

Once again, in an effort to legitimize their oppression by their so-called religion, Muslim women are ecstatic non-Muslim women are wearing masks during the Corona virus crisis. In an article recently published by the “Conversation” website, Muslim women across the UK and United States were interviewed regarding masks. “There’s a marked difference to the way I’m being perceived. Nobody is giving me dirty looks because of my gloves and the covered face,” said a woman I’ll call Afrah, from the the U.K., in a Facebook Messenger chat. “Everyone suddenly understands it!”

 

The article goes on to say how non-Muslim women are now seeking out typical Muslim garb, as fashion statements to protect against the corona virus. What non-Muslim women don’t get is Muslim women are forced to wear niqabs, burqas, and other oppressive face coverings as their obeyance to their god, as a form of modesty. While Muslim women like to say they wear it for that reason, if they are true Muslims, they conform to Sharia law,the Quran, and the Hadiths, all which demands they cover themselves .

 

“O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies. That will be better, that they should be known  so as not to be annoyed.”

 Quran 33:59
 

The Council on America Islamic Relations (CAIR) Jamal Badawi,  also a known member of the Muslim Brotherhood, who is viewed  as a ‘moderate’ scholar, insists that the hijab is “a command of Allah to Muslim women” and it should be “the duty of the state” to enforce it.

In 2017, al-Azhar university in Egypt, the home of many Muslim Brotherhood scholars,  decreed that the veil was compulsory for Muslim women… and not even open for debate: “It is not acceptable that anyone from the public or non-specialized people, regardless of their culture, to voice their opinions on the matter.” Can anyone seriously claim that the leading Sunni institution in the world doesn’t understand Islam? 

While American women like to think they are the bastions of feminism, and freedom to wear what they want, complimenting and duplicating the Muslim look is re-enforcing, and legitimizing oppression. Non Muslim woman need to think twice before donning veils, under the guise of preventing a disease from spreading, but rather educate themselves as to why Muslim women must wear them. Aiding in the injustices against Muslim women is never a good thing.

TN Attorney General Says First Amendment Protected Speech Could Be Used to Prosecute Hate Crimes

As in suspected Islamophobic or Anti-Semitic hate crimes? According to Tennessee’s Attorney General, yes.

It started with a 2013 event in Manchester, Tennessee, sponsored by the TN American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) called “Understanding the American Muslim Community.”

Shortly before the event, Obama-appointed U.S. Attorney Bill Killian was quoted – “We need to educate people about Muslims and their civil rights, and as long as we’re here, they’re going to be protected,” U.S. attorney Bill Killian told the Tullahoma News last week. “This is also to inform the public about what federal laws are in effect and what the consequences are.”

“Hateful statements directed at another will be used as evidence in a hate crime…”

It’s a back door way to punish what groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations), subjectively label hate speech.

CAIR, a creation of the Muslim Brotherhood and which serves as a front organization for HAMAS, has helped fuel an industry of censoring protected First Amendment speech using subjectively defined “Islamophobia.”

And there was AMAC in 2013, pushing CAIR’s agenda with the help of the DOJ.

A 2019 Tennessee Attorney General Opinion in connection with the year’s HB600/SB1250, a bill based on Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, requiring colleges to use a specific definition of anti-Semitism, agrees with what the U.S. Attorney said in connection with the 2013 AMAC event in Manchester:

But the Supreme Court has also recognized that protected expression may be relevant evidence in evaluating whether an individual has engaged in prohibited conduct. In Wisconsin v. Mitchell, for example, a unanimous Court made clear that the “First Amendment . . . does not prohibit the evidentiary use of speech to establish the elements of a crime or to prove motive or intent.” 508 U.S. 476, 489 (1993); see also R.A.V., 505 U.S. at 389 (noting that some speech “can be swept up incidentally within the reach of a statute directed at conduct rather than speech”). Similarly, courts have repeatedly recognized that state officials are permitted to examine protected expression when enforcing Title VI and other anti-discrimination laws and policies, particularly for the purpose of evaluating motive or intent.

Title VI is part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination based on race, color or national origin in programs or actives which receive federal financial assistance.

Islamists in Tennessee have long been seeking avenues to codify the myth of Islamophobia in Tennessee law and this bill may well serve their purpose.

They tried it in 2018, when an earlier version of HB600/SB1250 was pending but was ultimately never passed. During that legislative session, Islamist activists, some associated with AMAC, met with Speaker Beth Harwell and told her “that they want a bill that would protect students who are bullied because of their religion. Islamist activists in Tennessee connect bullying in school to Islamophobia which they claim leads to being regularly victimized or bullied because of their religion.”

Fast forward to the 2020 Tennessee state legislature is in session and the same scenario is being played out.

Don’t be surprised when Islamists tell legislators supporting HB600/SB1250, that what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Are your legislators paying attention?

A Win For Bernie Is A Win For The Islamization Of America.

It is wise to watch who the Islamists in America politically support, as they strive to find the weak link that will allow their agenda to prevail. Congratulations Bernie Sanders, you seem to fit the bill. While Bernie is a socialist/communist, Muslims claim he fully supports their beliefs, which will enable them to push forward their laws rather than American ones. Bernie will be nothing but the political pawn that they need to effectively change America.
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) aka Hamas, has fully supported, and now endorses Bernie Sanders as he is the only one to “elevate the Muslim community”. Why does a “religion” need to be elevated? If you understand Islam, it’s simple. Muslims believe Islam shall reign supreme over all other religions.  

 

 

As this website has dissected many times, the Muslim Brotherhood’s manifesto titled the “Strategic Goal for the Group In North America”, clearly states the following:

This excerpt is from a document that was placed into evidence in this country’s first and largest terrorism funding trial in Dallas TX in 2008, called the Holy Land Foundation Trial. It is the plan for the eventual, internal takeover of the United States.  According to Bernie’s website, his goals are similar to Islamists.. economic, racial, social and environmental justice for all. 

One of his biggest supporters is terrorist loving Linda Sarsour. Linda Sarsour, a self proclaimed Muslim activist who has called for jihad against President Trump, is one of Bernie’s staunch supporters due in part to his stance on Palestine and Israel. Sarsour rubs shoulders with anti-American, pro Hamas, Muslims like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. She also has inserted herself in movements that have caused chaos and deep division in communities across the country such as the Ferguson riots,which led to the birth of Black lives Matter. Linda Sarsour has no allegiance to the United States, instead rallies for those she claims are disenfranchised and marginalized, and hold a disdain for everyday Americans.

Muslims that claim to love America, also support socialist/communist Bernie Sanders, despite his radical ideas to fundamentally change the U.S as we know it. Social justice activist and Nashville Tennessee’s first Muslim Council member Zulfat Suara, who constantly claims America has been so good to her and her family, jumped on the Bernie wagon and is his campaign co-chair.  It is Muslims like Ms. Suara that attach themselves to whoever will help advance their agenda.

We should not be surprised by Tennessee Muslims supporting a socialist/communist though. Behind their public personas, they hate America just as much as Bernie does. Last year as Zulfat Suara was running her pro “I love America” metro council campaign, she also professed her admiration and inspiration of America haters Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. 

Muslims may say they love America, but they never condemn those that lead their communities that publicly announce their disdain for it. 

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Bernie Sanders platform is all about open borders, free everything for everyone, and the radical disruption of the criminal justice system, all of which fits the Islamic agenda to a T. For Muslims, Open borders allows the non-stop migration of Muslims, to fulfill their population demands, free everything equates to redistribution of wealth, and reforming criminal justice is the freeing of those defined as “marginalized” by the current system. 

If Bernie Sanders were to become president of the United States, the escalation of Islamic law over American law would be astounding, and congress will be filled with terrorists. The very dream Islamists have had is to see the flag of jihad on top of our White House. We must not let that dream come true.

CAIR Vows To Monitor TN Gov’s Pick For Parole Board

On December 26 2019, Tennessee Gov Bill Lee appointed former State Senator and candidate for Gov, Mae Beavers to a position on the states Parole Board. On the same day, The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) aka Hamas, vowed to “monitor” her every move to ensure there is no bias, particularly against the Muslim community.

This isn’t the first time CAIR has stuck its terrorist loving nose into Tennessee business, in 2018 Mae Beavers was running for Gov, and had planned a National Security event which included speakers Dr. Bill Warner, John Guandolo, and myself, Cathy Hinners.  This event was to be held at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville TN, Mrs. Beavers former college which also has deep family roots. Trevecca canceled the event after CAIR/Hamas made a complaint to the President of Trevecca, Dan Boone, who caved immediately.

Although Tennessee is not home to a formal CAIR/Hamas chapter, its sister organization the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) is embedded deeply. AMAC, despite its “bridge building” façade, has brought CAIR to TN on many occasions, and uses its interfaith and social justice involvement as a guise for peace and love. Beware Tennesseans, AMAC is not about forging relationships with the Muslim community but has infiltrated its way into even the Gov’s office.

What has not helped, not only did former Gov Bill Haslam legitimize AMAC, so has Gov Bill Lee, who reportedly met with members of AMAC on two occasions, the last being 10 days after he was sworn in. So now that CAIR/Hamas has strongly opposed the Mae Beavers appointment, will Gov Bill Lee succumb to the pressure, and remove Mae Beavers from her newly appointed post?

AMAC January 2019 meeting with Bill Lee

We hope not, and we ask Gov Lee to not be intimidated, or pressured into changing his mind. Our message to CAIR and AMAC should be strong and swift.  We Tennesseans do not welcome, or want CAIR/ Hamas or AMAC to have any say in anything occurring in our state.

Tennesseans believe in Mae Beavers, who will conduct herself as she always has, professionally and with Tennesseans best interest in mind, but will the relationship Bill Lee has forged with AMAC be stronger?

Stay tuned..

Keep CAIR Out of Tennessee!

 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.
