Richmond, Va. (1140wrva.com) - Doctor Esam Omeish has resigned his position on the State Commission on Immigration. Omeish stepped down after a caller to WRVA's "Ask the Governor" program told Kaine a video existed of Omeish preaching hatred of Israel. A second video also shows Omeish saying "jihad.. is the way to liberate your land."
Kaine says Omeish resigned because he did not want controversy to cause problems for the commission. Kaine says he will appoint another Muslim representative.

Sleeping with the Enemy.
Good catch for that caller. He, like the rest of his organization, should be treated like any other enemy combatant, or propagandist.
Either Gitmo, or the needle.
There are none so blind as those that will not see.

“I have accepted Dr. Esam Omeish’s resignation as one of the 10 gubernatorial appointees to the 20-member Virginia Commission on Immigration.

It only took a few weeks for me to realize Kaine would be bad for the Commonwealth. The longer he’s been in office the worse he gets.
I have zero doubts that the caller was either [or a combination] a FReeper, a reader of LGF or a member of the Governor’s staff [intentionally setting up the dismissal].
Dude, Kaine is a friggin Liberal. You should've known from jump.
Why someone else from the Muslim community?
There’s gonna come a day when Americans are gonna push back, and may God have mercy on those that are trying to steal what few freedoms we have left.
Can you post the links? The one to the jihad comment video they had posted at Fox News has been taken down, surprise surprise.
Also, there are some videos of this Islamic POS spouting hate to be seen at Little Green Footballs.
So it's legal there to appoint using only RELIGION as a criteria -
The First Amendment prohibits the Congress (and by extension through the 14th Amendment, the Virginia Legislature) from passing a law respecting an establishmnt of religion.
Here, in fact, the law is demanding that the represenative be from a "religious organization" and also one with a "program for immigrants", that is, a religion with a specific establishment, that is a "program".
I think this law is manifestly UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Where's the ACLU, and why isn't this puke of a Governor appointing a Sa'ami Noaide to this position?
