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.

TN Highlander Center Director All in With BLM Anti-Semitism – part 7

The United States Commission on Civil Rights has stated, that “anti-Semitic bigotry is no less morally deplorable when camouflaged as anti-Israelism or anti-Zionism.”

Tennessee Highlander Center director Ash-Lee Henderson and Black Lives Matter (BLM) co-founder, Patrisse Cullors are both vocal promoters of the Israel-hating campaign known as BDS (boycott, divestment & sanctions).

The anti-Israel BDS campaign attacks Zionism, the movement that helped to establish the State of Israel.  Martin Luther King Jr., often cited by progressives as a symbol for social justice, understood that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. As he said, “When people criticize Zionist, they mean Jews. You are talking anti-Semitism.”

BDSers want to eliminate the democratic state of the Jewish people.   For this reason, rallying BDS’ers use chants like “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free” which means there would be no Israel or Jews between the Jordan River and Mediterranean. The Jew-hating BDS campaign against Israel is, without question, the new anti-Semitism.

Cullors’ anti-Jew wokeness was ignited after joining a 2014 junket to the West Bank led by Ahmad Abuznaid, a Palestinian-American who has convinced black Americans who hate both the police and the U.S., that their grievances align with Palestinians who hate Israel and its Jews.

Ash-Lee started her anti-Jew campaign in 2014, in Chattanooga when she was an organizer with Concerned Citizens for Justice, a self-identified black liberation organization whose goal was to end white supremacy in Chattanooga.

In December 2016, shortly before being named co-director of the Highlander Center Ash-Lee Henderson took a solidarity trip to what she described as “occupied” Palestine. “Going through checkpoints, seeing rubber bullets, reminds us what our comrades and some of us experienced in Ferguson, [and] IDF soldiers totally remind me of the cops that brutalized [me].”

According to Ash-Lee one of the trip’s highlights was spending time with the Afro-Palestinian, admitted terrorist Ali Jiddah, a former member of the radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The man she lauded as the “elder of the African village in Jerusalem’s Old City” was imprisoned in Israel for 17 years after planting four hand grenades which injured multiple people. He was released from prison as part of a prisoner swap and in a later interview, admitted to his crime.

Typical of radical leftists’ fake wokeness, Cullors and Ash-Lee ignore the fact that Palestinians still use the Arabic slur “abeed” (slave) to refer to Afro-Palestinians like Jiddah.

The same year Ash-Lee became anti-Jew woke, she received a formal promotion to the policy table leadership team of the Movement 4 Black Lives (M4BL), the revolutionary umbrella group for black activist organizations including BLM. M4BL advances its own form of racism and its hate of America and white people through policy platforms including one titled “Invest-Divest,” the first version of which labelled Israel an apartheid state.

After unexpected push-back, M4BL tried to conceal its lies about Israel by moving all anti-Israel language to a white paper titled “Cut Military Expenditures” now linked to the M4BL policy platform on invest-divest which claims that Israel is an apartheid state, is “complicit in the genocide taking place against the Palestinian people”, that homes of Palestinians and land “are routinely bulldozed to make way for illegal Israeli settlements”,  and that “Israeli soldiers also regularly arrest and detain Palestinians as young as 4 years old without due process. Everyday, Palestinians are forced to walk through military checkpoints along the US funded apartheid wall.”

Of course there is no mention that Israel’s security wall has decreased deaths from suicide bombers. 

Ash-Lee has joined with other anti-Jew groups like Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA) which opposes Christian Zionism and pushes the BDS campaign in U.S. churches. She has also joined forces with Ahmad Abuznaid to keep pushing their anti-Israel vitriol.

 

Ash-Lee has also adopted BDSer’s favorite death-to-Israel slogan – “from the river to the sea…” and wearing the black and white keffiyah popularized by the “father of modern terrorism”, Yasser Arafat.

 

Founding board member of Tennessee’s American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) Drost Kokoye, was among the first Islamists to openly support the BDS campaign. It wasn’t long before AMAC featured Linda Sarsour, among the most vocal anti-Semites in the U.S., at an AMAC event. This was followed by then AMAC chair Zulfat Suara, publicly embracing Jew-haters Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.

Sarsour says she has been “deeply involved” in the BLM movement and was heavily praised by BLM co-founder Alicia Garza in a recent virtual interview. Recall, that Ash-Lee and Garza have a particularly close relationship.

Ash-Lee and Linda Sarsour serve together on the advisory board of the Philanthropic Initiative for Racial Equity an organization pushing to move more foundation funding to groups led by “people of color.”

In 2019, BLM’s Cullors was named the Executive Director and Board President of the BLM Global Network Foundation. Cullors now sits on the multi-million dollar BLM war chest and is the media go-to person to speak for BLM. Cullors has doubled down on BLM’s embrace of the BDS campaign – “[w]e realized we [BLM activists] needed to take our solidarity [with the BDS campaign] a step further. We had to be more public.”

Three Jew-haters with access to bottomless BIG money – what could go wrong?

Nashville Council Member Zocialist Suara Politicking For Socialism

Dubbed “Z” during her successful campaign for Nashville Metro Council, Zulfat Suara now admits she is a full fledged socialist and wants Bernie Sanders to be President.

From the comfort of her new $650,000 home, Zocialist Suara is working as one of Bernie Sanders’ three Tennessee campaign co-chairs. The other two, Emily Benedict and Delishia Porterfield are not surprisingly, Metro Nashville Council members.

From 2012 until right before running for an at-large seat on the Metro Nashville Council, Zocialist Suara led the TN American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC). Under her leadership, AMAC joined forces with Linda Sarsour, one of the most vocal anti-Semites in the U.S., featuring Sarsour at different AMAC events.

Sarsour is now “Bernie Sanders’s Anti-Semitic Surrogate”

This seems to be a pattern for Zocialist Suara who admires vocal Jew-haters U.S. Congressional members Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.

Zocialist Suara was so inspired by the newly elected Jew-haters, that during her speech at the 2019 Nashville Women’s March, she announced her own candidacy for an at-large seat on the Metro Nashville City Council. Best guess is that she had to run at-large because to was all about “My Muslim Vote.”

By the time Zocialist Suara made that announcement she already knew Sarsour who co-founded The Women’s March with Tamika Mallory. The Nashville Women’s March is a named affiliate of Sarsour’s Women’s March.

Sarsour was the one who instigated injecting the Jew-hating anti-Israel BDS campaign into The Women’s March. Granted, no one should have been surprised given that she and her co-leader Mallory are supporters of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, a notorious anti-Semite who has praised Hitler and described Jews as “satanic.”

Hitler was a socialist liberal and led the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, a fact neither Bernie’s girls nor Bernie himself wants to own. What they try to do instead, is deflect by claiming their’s is a “Democratic” form of socialism.

Only in their own minds and only using their own twisted semantics since there is no such thing as “Democratic Socialism.”

Along with Linda Sarsour and Zocialist Suara, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib have endorsed Sanders for President.

Sarsour, Omar and Tlaib have freely and publicly given voice to their anti-Zionism anti-Semitism.

Zionism is the movement that helped to establish the State of Israel.  Martin Luther King Jr., often cited by progressives as a symbol for social justice, understood that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. As he said, “When people criticize Zionist, they mean Jews. You are talking anti-Semitism.”

Sanders’ has made a full display of his own Jewish self-hatred. He has hired two senior advisers with documented anti-Israel backgrounds for which they “were censured in the past for their deeply anti-Semitic, Judeophobic and anti-Israel views.”

“Republican Jewish Coalition spokesperson Neil Strauss said the hires illustrate a bigger issue.

‘We see this time and again with progressive Democrats, anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism are OK in their ranks.’”

It’s become such a lightening rod in the Sanders campaign that a moderate pro-Israel Democratic Super PAC is running ads against him.

(It almost feels like a throw-back to the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini’s alliance with Hitler).

al-Husseini and Hitler

Regardless of whether they call themselves “progressives” or “socialists” radical candidates like Zocialist Suara, Tlaib and Omar are celebrated and endorsed by “Our Revolution” (OR), which functions as, the 501(c)(4) arm of Bernie Sanders’ campaign.

Not to be left out, TIRRCVotes (TN Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition) endorsed its former board member and activist Zocialist Suara for the Metro Council.

OR has a Tennessee state chapter and predictably, a Nashville and Middle TN chapter.

Coincidentally, Bernie Sanders and Leon Trotsky, a Soviet Marxist, both authored a book titled “Our Revolution.”

“In 1980, Sanders served as an elector for the Socialist Workers Party, which was founded on the principles of Leon Trotsky. According to the New York Times, that party called for abolishing the military budget. It also called for “solidarity” with the revolutionary regimes in Iran, Nicaragua, Grenada, and Cuba; this was in the middle of the Iranian hostage crisis.”

“Our Revolution” wants Bernie Sanders for President and wants to put radicals in every elected office they can steal. James Zogby, another anti-Zionist, is on the board of OR.

Interestingly, Zogby served with Jerusalem Fund founder Hisham Sharabi on the board of the renamed American Committee on Jerusalem (ACJ).

Samar Ali’s father Subhi Ali served alongside Sharabi at the (anti-Zionist-pro-BDS) Jerusalem Fund and has led the organization’s board since 2005. Samar served as Zocialist Suara’s treasurer in her Metro Council campaign.

(Keep in mind Bill Hagerty’s close connection to Samar when that primary election comes around).

“Dissent is the Highest Form of Patriotism”- Muslim Activist Linda Sarsour

 

  

When Muslims in America speak of patriotism, justice and freedom, it isn’t what we think. In Islam those three words have entirely different, and quite contradictory meanings. Patriotism is against the doctrine as loyalty and honor can only be given to the Prophet Muhammad, not to a country. Justice in Islam is to rid the world of the oppressors, creating nations where Islam is supreme. Freedom in Islam, is the implementation of sharia, where Muslims are free to practice even the most barbaric, antiquated laws.

However, according to Islamic doctrine, Muslims may use taqiyya or kitman, (lying or omission) to appease Americans, to gain their sympathy and support, preaching they are just like you, but knowing it is false.  In a speech at the Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) 2017 conference, self proclaimed Muslim activist Linda Sarsour tells her audience what really is important to Muslims living in the USA. 

In her keynote address at the Community Service awards luncheon,with the theme of “patriotism”,  Sarsour proclaims “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism”. She then continues to promote the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood’s manifesto in an outline of what the Muslim Community in America needs to do.

There are only 5 million Muslims, and 340 million who are not. “You are not enough on your own, we need to build coalitions, we need allies”. 

Sarsour also urges those attending, to financially support Abdul E- Sayed, (who was there himself) an Egyptian who is running for Gov. in the state of Michigan.  “When I think of power, I think of Abdul El Sayed”.

What sums up her entire speech, and reflects the ideology of her beloved Muslim Brotherhood, she declares:

“ Our number one and top priority is to protect and defend our community, it is not to assimilate and to please any other people in authority”.

Linda Sarsour is an enemy of the United States. She doesn’t care about women, unless your Muslim. She doesn’t care about keeping America safe, or following the laws of our land. She cares about growing the population of Islam to fight who she deems the opposition. That’s you America. 

Watch, listen and learn.
