Despite his swift conviction by both political parties and the media for thought crimes against humanity because he wants the U.S. to ban Muslim immigration, Donald Trump is not backing down.
But Friday, Saba Ahmed, who heads something called the Republican Muslim Coalition, invited Trump to visit a mosque so she can disabuse the real estate magnate of his so-called Islamophobia.
“I have found that some of your comments reflect a lack of familiarity with the Islamic faith,” Ahmed wrote today in her letter. “I would like to correct that, if you will permit me.”
Ironically, Ahmed’s background and views — which Politico did not trouble itself to report on when it covered her entreaty — is an argument for Trump to hold his ground. If Ahmed is a moderate Muslim then who needs extremists?
In a 2011 Facebook exchange with an Oregon tea party group, she accused the United States government of committing crimes against humanity in the Middle East and equated Al-Qaida operatives with United States soldiers.
“United States Military and CIA are the most well funded Christian organizations that regularly conduct crimes against humanity all around the world. Currently we are killing / murdering people in Libya, Syria, Yemen, Palestine, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq. etc. with our drones, missiles, bombs, etc.
“What is the practical difference between a soldier who kills and an Alqaida [sic] operative [who] kills??? Both in God’s eyes are taking sacred life…”
Actually, there are a number of differences as anybody but a propagandist or moral nincompoop would readily admit: the U.S. military does not deliberately kill civilians or fly airplanes into office towers.
In a telephone interview, Ahmed claimed she did remember the post but then reiterated most of her points. She said the United States comitted “crimes against humanity” in Iraq and Afghanistan because “we’ve bombed thousands of people.”
“I stand by my anti-war comments that senseless violence around the world needs to end otherwise terrorism will continue to grow exponentially.”
Ahmed was reportedly a family friend of convicted terrorist Mohamed Mohumud. When the Somali-American teenager stood trial for plotting to detonate a bomb at the 2010 Portland, Oregon, Christmas lighting ceremony, Ahmed told reporters that United States Justice Department had incited hate crimes against Muslims with the prosecution.
“This is very irresponsible behavior because now the Muslim community is the one suffering the consequences,” she told The Oregonian.
Ahmed said the report about her friendship with Mohumud was “fabricated” but she never bothered to challenge it because people write so many articles about her.
She had offered to represent Mohamud at his 2011 trial but the public defender’s office was chosen instead. Now, she accepts the jury verdict. “He was found guilty and what he did was horrible.”
Trump’s campaign did not reply to repeated requests for comment but Ahmed said they are reviewing her request.
Would Trump really change his mind about Muslims with just one visit?
Attending prayer services “is the beginning of something,” she argued. “Here is a lot more that needs to be done. have him learn a few things. I don’t think he has ever attended a prayer service that is why he was talking about shutting down a Mosque. We are hoping he would come and join us.”
If the GOP frontrunner takes Ahmed up on her offer he should be careful about which mosque to visit. The Daily Caller News Foundation, citing an independent study, reported last month that 80 mosques nationwide “or their leading clerics have radicalized attendees to become terrorists, supported terrorist organizations, made radical Islamist remarks or hosted others that have, or are financially backed by radical individuals or organizations.”
For a minute or two, I thought this article was about Grover Norquist.
Go right in Donald — and do NOT take off your shoes.
Maybe they could also invite him to a church in Saudi Arabia.
Oh wait - they are illegal...
Oh, that's rich.
There's a 1400 year track record about your death cult.
Excellent!

IT’S A TRAP!!!
The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam
Some wisdom from someone familiar with Islam
John Quincy Adams on Islam
In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.
Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).
Considering The Donald, he will probably counter her offer with a deal for her to attend a Presbyterian service in exchange, whereupon she will be offended and try to sue him.
Here is allI need to know about ISLAM and it holds true to what a non practicing Muslim friend told me and what I learned in school

Case closed
I don’t think telling the Muzzie refujihadis that you’re not going to allow them to invade America and kill Americans really qualifies as “Islamophobia.” I call it leadership.

Maybe Trump can bring his Bible and share the word of God while he’s there.
“Saba Ahmed has garnered attention for being friends with Mohammed Osman Mohamud, the Portland Christmas Tree Bomber - so much so that she was removed from his court hearing when the judge charged her with contempt.”
“She is same Saba Ahmed that tried to win the Democratic nomination to the US House of Representatives in the 2012 cycle, only to change party affiliation to the GOP after drawing less than one percent of the Democratic vote”

I see what you did there. Well done.
âI have found that some of your comments reflect a lack of familiarity with the Islamic faith,â Ahmed wrote today in her letter. âI would like to correct that, if you will permit me.â
LOL Mr. Trumps comments reflect a perfect understanding of the Islamic faith.
