Canada is no stranger to welcoming imams with radical ideas across our borders. Many prominent imams, scholars and teachers started their careers in their country of origin and continue to spread their teachings here in Canada with the blessings of our government. Teachings that include killing of apostates, killing of gays, polygamist marriages, implementation of sharia, return of the caliphate, the denigration of the Jewish community, hate for Israel, just to name a few.
Radical Muslim political advocacy organizations are celebrating the election of 62 Muslim Americans who won races at all levels of government, from local school boards to the U.S. House of Representatives. Their victories mark another banner year for Islamist groups that seek to train, fund, and elect their favored politicians.
Amarnath Amarasingam and Mubin Shaikh are both regarded as experts in radicalization.
Both say they have spent extensive amounts of time counselling Shehroze Chaudhry, a 26-year-old Burlington, Ont. man now facing a rare terrorism-hoax charge and recently labelled a “fabulist” by The New York Times over his claims that he committed atrocities on behalf of the Islamic State in Syria.
For his part, Shaikh, a Seneca College professor and former counterterrorism operative for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and Royal Canadian Mounted Police, says he now believes Chaudhry never stepped foot in Syria and got caught up in his own “fantasy.”
Yet Amarasingam, a Queen’s University professor, isn’t so quick to dismiss Chaudhry’s claims, noting he’s seen signs of “remorse” and “survivor’s guilt” in the young man.
This sick joke is what passes for expertise in “Canadian” counter-jihad. Good Lord.
An anti-Israel activist is knocking on doors for Team Biden in Georgia—even though the president-elect has spurned her for espousing anti-Semitic views.
Linda Sarsour, a leftist anti-Israel activist, said in a “Vote-a-thon” Facebook Live event Sunday that she had temporarily relocated to Georgia, where she will be knocking on doors and attempting to turn out the vote for Democratic Senate candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
Democrat Raphael Warnock was already struggling to beat back allegations of anti-Semitism, and then Linda Sarsour and Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib jumped into the Georgia Senate election picture.
The Georgia chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR] plans to hold Sunday evening a virtual “vote-a-thon” aimed at encouraging Georgia Muslims to vote in the Jan. 5 run-off elections, an event featuring the Democratic congresswomen as well as Ms. Sarsour.
All three have expressed support for the anti-Israel Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment cause, and all three have been embroiled in recent years in headline-grabbing anti-Semitism controversies. All three deny being anti-Semitic or anti-Jewish.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) scrubbed a tweet on Monday that included an anti-Semitic phrase often used by terrorist groups that seek the destruction of Israel.
Screenshots from the Internet Archive’s “Wayback Machine” show that Tlaib retweeted a Saturday post that included a graphic promoting Palestinian solidarity and the phrase “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free.”
Which side is the celebrated and ever-winsome Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) really on? She showed us again Wednesday evening.
Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) tweeted a video of the radical Leftist Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock with the comment: “Not shocked #Georgia Democrat Senate candidate Raphael Warnock said ‘You cannot serve God and the military’ at the same time. These & even crazier things is what the radicals who control the Democratic party’s activist & small dollar donor base believe.”
