Jew-Hatred Ancient and Modern--Colonizing the Democratic Party.
Frontpagemagazine ^ | May 8, 2019 | Bruce Thornton

Posted on 05/09/2019 4:49:47 AM PDT by SJackson

Recently the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives failed to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar for indulging anti-Semitic tropes like the “dual loyalties” slander. Not long after, the international edition of The New York Times published a vile cartoon caricaturing Israeli Prime Minister as a guide-dog leading a blind Donald Trump, another anti-Semitic lie about the Jews’ malign influence, one popular in Nazi propaganda of the Thirties.

Jew-hatred on the left is becoming more prevalent and bolder, these days nourished by the progressive Democrats’ alliance with traditional Muslims, whose ancient Islamic doctrines have for 14 centuries made Jews the scapegoat of Islam’s ills.

One of the biggest current bipartisan cover-ups is the studied silence about traditional Islamic Jew-hatred. As Andrew Bostom documented in his compendious The Legacy of Islamic Anti-Semitism (and here), from Islam’s birth the Jews have been depicted as the inveterate enemies of Allah’s revelation to Mohammed. In the Koran, they are “laden with God’s anger,” destined to suffer forever “abasement and poverty,” and to be turned into “apes and swine” because they rejected Mohammed–– slurs incorporated into the genocidal Hamas’s foundational covenant. The latter slur about “apes and swine” is a favorite of contemporary Islamists. Sudanese dictator Omar al-Bashir, for example, in 2002 called for jihad against the Jews, “those apes, pigs, and worshippers of calves,” the latter phrase linking the exodus story about the golden calf to modern anti-Semitic stereotypes of Jews as greedy money-grubbers and masters of the global financial system.

Modern Muslim clerics and theorists of jihad have regularly repeated these ancient assertions of Jew-hatred. The godfather of modern jihadism, Muslim Brother Sayyid Qutb, wrote about Jews in the same manner as Islamic canonical texts. In his late-Fifties essay “Our Struggle with the Jews,” he blames the troubles of Muslims on “the same Jewish machinations and double-dealing, which discomfited the early Muslims.” He demonizes Jews for “behaving in the most disgusting aggressive manner and sinning in the ugliest way” and committing “unprecedented abominations.” His solution is to “let Allah bring down upon the Jews people who will mete out to them the worst kinds of punishment.”

So too Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini, who was fond of the staples of Jew-hatred rhetoric: the Jews, Khomeini said, “distorted the reputation of Islam by assaulting and slandering it.” He called them a “cancerous tumor,” a metaphor also used by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who has said the Jews are “a cancer which is liable to spread again at any moment.” Such traditional Islamic rhetoric is still common throughout the Muslim Middle East, frequently appearing in Arabic-language internet and television shows, in state-run newspapers, and in the work of university professors.

The persistence of such hatred vitiates the arguments of apologists who equate contemporary Muslim Jew-hatred with traditional Christian anti-Semitism. The Biblical justifications for anti-Semitism are few, and usually distort the verse’s obvious meaning (e.g. Matthew 27.25). And though Christian theologians over the centuries indulged in anti-Semitism, the Catholic church eventually proscribed it in Nostra Aetate. (1965). We can justly fault the church for its betrayal of its own theology and its tardiness in rectifying its error, but no major Islamic religious leader or institution has officially denounced Jew-hatred, which remains mainstream for a majority of Muslims; unlike Christians, among whom it is the hobby-horse of marginal cranks. Indeed, the oft-derided “fundamentalist” evangelical Christians are today some of Israel’s most loyal and enthusiastic supporters.

In reality, the most destructive expression of modern anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, was not in the main an expression of traditional Christian anti-Semitism, but of modern scientism. In America, Darwinian-inspired “scientific racism” and eugenics provided Nazis with a more respectable modern rationale for protecting the “race” against those inferior peoples like Jews who would degrade it. Popular books endorsing measures to forestall what progressive Woodrow Wilson called “racial disaster,” such as Madison Grant’s bestseller The Passing of the Great Race (1916) ––Hitler called it his “bible” in a fan letter––were hugely influential on German eugenics. American foundations like Rockefeller gave millions of dollars to German think-tanks and researchers like Otmar Freiherr von Verschuer, who said eugenics would lead to a “total solution to the Jewish problem,” and later conducted twin-research with Josef Mengele. A modern German historian has argued that ordinary Germans acquiesced or participated in the Holocaust not because they were “following orders,” but “following America,” whose top universities were the centers of research on “racial hygiene” and gave it the patina of objective “science.”

Unsurprisingly, today’s Muslim Jew-haters spice their Koranic anti-Semitic rhetoric with tropes and metaphors from Nazi-era propaganda. Holocaust deniers are welcomed to state-sponsored conferences, and the Russian forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is widely available, as are translations of Hitler’s Mein Kampf.

Modern Jew-hatred today permeates the left, and increasingly is colonizing the Democrat Party. Traditional Marxism, like its founder, scorned religion as an “opiate” and creator of “false consciousness,” perforce making Israelis and observant Jews objects of scorn for the secular left. Modern versions of Marxism have also, like Nazism, made Jews the embodiment of capitalism’s excesses and vices, such as greed, the fetishizing of money, lust for global domination, and a dehumanizing fragmentation of society and culture. The capitalist arch-sin of colonialism is represented by Israel, deemed a neo-colonialist capitalist outpost reprising all the sins of imperialism: invasion, occupation, appropriation of resources, and oppression of the conquered peoples.

Thus anti-Zionism has become the new face of Jew-hatred, which explains Omar Ilhan’s rhetoric of a sinister “Jewish lobby” that corrupts and controls American politicians with money (“It’s all about the Benjamins, baby,” as Ilhan tweeted.) Globalists, just as Marxist anti-nationalists do, who tout the post-nationalist “rules-based international order” likewise resent the Zionists’ fierce patriotism and affection for their nation and its particular history, religion, and culture. Especially in Europe, tolerance of violence against Jews and a rote condemnation and demonization of Israel are commonplace.

What we are witnessing today is the fusion of the ancient and modern varieties of Jew-hatred, the ancient Muslim version melding with the modern leftist one, a tactical alliance in which each side seeks to achieve its aims with the support of the other: For radical Muslims, the weakening of liberal democracy and its replacement by a government and society embodying illiberal sharia law; for far-left progressives, the creation of a socialist government run by a technocratic elite that centralizes power and weakens individual freedom and autonomy.

Moreover, Muslims are now recognized by the left as an identity-politics cadre “of coloer” based on their superficial appearance and status as victims of “Islamophobia,” colonialism, and continuing “oppression” and “occupation” by Israel. Like most official victims of identity politics, someone like Omar Ilhan, with her exotic head-gear and looks, is catnip to the multicultural left, who harbor a sentimental, very un-Marxist attraction to the non-Western “other of color” and their quaint folkways and customs so superior to “white culture.”

However, like the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact between Nazi German and the communist Soviet Union in 1939, this alliance is fundamentally incoherent. A secular, hedonistic, feminist progressive ideology that mocks religious faith as atavistic superstition, and promotes homosexuality, public sexual license, on-demand abortion, and multiple sex-identities, cannot coexist for long with a traditional, patriarchal faith that subordinates women, practices polygamy and honor killings of women, stones homosexuals, oppresses other faiths, executes apostates, accepts violence as a religious obligation, and is fiercely religious to a degree seldom seen any more in the West, even among church-goers.

For now, however, the Democrat leadership has to accept these contradictions as a necessary price to pay for holding together their “rainbow” coalition. And Jew-hatred, which in all its historical variations ultimately relies on the unfortunate human habit of scapegoating others to explain failure, is one of the glues holding together this unlikely alliance of self-proclaimed victims, just as Nazi Germany and communist Soviet Union’s shared hatred of liberal democracy and free-market economies held them together until Hitler invaded Russia in his bid for world domination.

Such an outcome is at present unlikely in America, given how small is the number of Muslims living in the U.S.–– 3.4 million, barely one percent of the total population. But that’s a million more than ten years ago. Don’t forget, in October 1917, 10,000 Bolsheviks engineered a revolution that seized power over 126 million Russians, and engineered the murder of 100 million people in Russia and its global imitators. In Europe, despite Muslims comprising a mere 5% of the population, we are witnessing a progressive, globalist elite facilitating more Muslim immigration, studiously obscuring the Muslim perpetrators of crimes and terror attacks, and winking at the creeping Islamization of public spaces and institutions. It is a stark warning of how much damage to our politics and culture can be wreaked by such an alliance between progressive globalists and Islamists.

Such disasters are always possible when “the best lack all conviction, and the worst are full of passionate intensity.” Jews and Israel have always been the canaries in the coal mine, the early-warning sirens of impending disaster. It behooves us to take seriously Jew-haters like Omar Ilhan, shame the Democrats who indulge and enable their hatred, and elect leaders who will give no quarter to those indulging of the world’s oldest hatred.

Yet so many Jews run to accept this party.

No. I’m not Jewish. I’ve dated a few Jewish women and also have some very close Jewish male friends.

So much liberalism exists among the wealthy Jewish folk. It seems almost suicidal.
The same thing is happening in 21st Century America as 20th century Europe. …that ended in 2 destructive world wars.
The cities are packed with deluded people of all backgrounds. They think of themselves as living in a highly advanced protected society that can only get better. Progressive societies progress, right?
The Marxist scum that currently run the cities are getting ready for you to live in mud huts (no more glass and steel buildings) and give up all the luxury and wealth that you may have earned.

Tread carefully my Jewish brethren.

“the Jews have been depicted as the inveterate enemies of Allah’s revelation to Mohammed”

Maybe because the Jews know better than anyone else the phony nature of much about Mohammed.

You can add white hatred to the modern democrat party too. They are pitting whites as the new Jew’s.

Yes, more accurately white Christians. They’re OK with radical progressive whites, though some of those pretend to be something else. And of course Arabs are white. And many Hispanics are white. Though they pretend they’re a race. They hate Jews regardless of race.

There is much more to “ progressive Democrats’ alliance with traditional Muslims”.

Look at post number 8 at: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/3747791/posts

The post regarded the Philly Muslim American Society facility video of children singing Jihadist songs in Arabic. This is directly related to the Dem alliance with Islam via the US Council of Muslim Organizations formed in Chicago in the last two years of the Obama administrations 8 year run...now, details of the relationship of MAS to the Democrat progressive and socialist alliance with Islam:

To: OddLane

There is a larger issue involved. MAS is just one of the major and extensive and mature Muslim organizations in the US, which in the last two years of the Obama administrations second term, established in Chicago a MAJOR Muslim US political party, with close associations with the Democrat Party. That organization that MAS resides in is the USCMO, the US Council of Muslim Organizations dedicated to penetration of the us cultural and political institutions aimed as the originala Muslim Brotherhood formation in 1926 to re0establish a Caliphate.

Frank Gaffney’s Center for Security Policy announced the creation of this Democrat associated polity party at this link:

http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2014/05/19/genesis-of-the-us-council-of-muslim-organizations-muslim-brotherhood-political-party/

Executive leadership from some of the most prominent American Muslim organizations announced the formation of the United States Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO) on Wednesday, 12 March 2014 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. The eight founding Muslim organizations participating at the press conference were immediately joined by two additional U.S. Muslim organizations. Key Muslim leadership representatives spoke about the vision and mission of the USCMO and appeared in the following order:

Ousama Jammal, Secretary General USCMO and past President of The Mosque Foundation
Naeem Baig, President, Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA)
Nihad Awad, National Executive Director, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)
Mazen Mokhtar, Executive Director, Muslim American Society (MAS)
Imam W. Deen Mohammed II, President, The Mosque Cares (grandson of the NOI founder)
Khalil Meek, Executive Director, Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA)
Imam (Name), American Muslim Alliance (AMA)
Osama Abuirshaid, National Board Member, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP)
Imam Talib Abdur-Rashid, Deputy Emir, Muslim Alliance in North America (MANA)
Mahdabuddin Ahmad, Director of Community Affairs, Muslim Ummah of North America (MUNA)

The USCMO is described as an umbrella organization – and CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad inferred that and more, with his assertion regarding the USCMO that “This is the dream of every American Muslim, to unify the approach, agenda and vision of the Muslim community. In the past, many people have tried to unite on a limited agenda, but this is a broad agenda for the American Muslim community.” Awad stressed the need for a “platform to coordinate, to communicate, and unify the vision on critical issues both to the Muslim community and the society at large,” because he believes that “Muslim voters can be swing voters in key elections, especially 2016.” The formation of the USCMO marks the first U.S. Muslim Brotherhood political party, and indeed the first religious identity political party in the history of this country.

USCMO founding members CAIR and ICNA were previously identified as front groups for the Muslim Brotherhood during the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) trial in 2007. Sheikh Kifah Mustapha, who has worked with Ousama Jammal (current Mosque Foundation board member) at The Mosque Foundation, was listed by name as an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF trial as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee. According to documents entered into evidence at the HLF trial, he was a “registered agent for HLF in Illinois” who acknowledged fundraising for the HLF from the mid-1990s until 2001. Mustapha has also raised money for MAS and ICNA initiatives during their annual conferences in Chicago.

It is important to note the geo-political influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in Illinois, as this relates to the oversight of USCMO’s founding member organizations.

USCMO member organizations with headquarters in Illinois include the following:

The Mosque Foundation (7360 W. 93rd Street, Bridgeview IL 60455)
American Muslims for Palestine (10101 South Roberts Road, Palos Hills, IL 60465)
The Mosque Cares (929 West 171st Street, Hazel Crest, IL 60429)

USCMO member organizations with regional offices in Illinois include the following:

Islamic Circle of North America (6224 N. California Avenue, Chicago, IL 60659)
Council on American Islamic Relations Chicago (17 N. State Street, Suite 1500, Chicago, Illinois 60602
Muslim American Society (9210 South Oketo Avenue, Bridgeview, IL 60455)
Muslim Legal Fund of America (15255 S. 94th Ave, 5th Floor, Orland Park, IL 60462)

During the press conference, Nihad Awad indicated his organization CAIR was “proud to join this historic organization, because today is a historic one. We have been meeting for at least one and a half years.” However, the information absent from this discussion by Awad and his colleagues was that the development of the USCMO not only predates the eighteen month time frame, but finds its origins in the Chicago metropolitan area, where the Muslim Brotherhood has successfully built a strategic organizational network for almost six decades.

On 20 January 2010, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton gifted the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood a key opportunity when she signed the Exercise of Discretionary Authority under Section 212(d)(3)(B)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Tariq Ramadan, the grandson of Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al Banna, now could finally enter the United States for the first time since the Department of Homeland Security revoked his visa in July 2004 during the administration of President George W. Bush.

Less than four months later, on 5 May 2010, Project Mobilize (also known as Project M), which included board members with ties to multiple Muslim Brotherhood front organizations, was founded by M. Yasser Tabara in Summit, Illinois. USCMO Secretary General Ousama Jammal was a founding Board Member of Project Mobilize. M. Yasser Tabara, Project Mobilize President, was former executive director for CAIR Chicago. Project Mobilize board member Safaa Zarzour, Esq. is former Secretary General of the Islamic Society of North America. Two Project Mobilize board members, Dr. Mohammed Zaher Sahloul and Safaa Zarzour, Esq. were appointed to the American Muslim Advisory Council on 30 August 2011 by Illinois Governor Patrick Quinn.

In April 2010, Tariq Ramadan returned to the US where he was keynote speaker for both the Council on Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago (CIOGC) fundraising dinner and the 6th Annual CAIR-Chicago Banquet. In July 2010 and July 1011, Ramadan was a keynote speaker for both the 47th annual ISNA and the 48th annual ISNA conventions in Chicago. In December 2012 and December 2013, Ramadan was a keynote speaker for the 11th annual MAS-ICNA and 12th annual MAS-ICNA conventions in Chicago, where he has communicated the need for Muslim American integration and participation in the political process and society.

At the Project Mobilize website, its stated mission included the following:

To Develop the political capital existing within the Muslim American community;
To Organize the Muslim American community around issues determined relevant; and
To Advocate on behalf of the Muslim American community to elected officials and persons with political clout so that they act upon the concerns and desires of their Muslim American constituents.

In the Company Overview from their Facebook page, Project Mobilize described itself as “Based in the Chicagoland area, Project Mobilize or Project M is a non-profit political action and civic engagement organization dedicated to the education, development, and political advancement of the Muslim American community locally, statewide, and across the country.”

In April 2011, Project Mobilize successfully fielded its first candidatesfor political office: Asif Yusuf was elected as Oakbrook Village trustee; Ahmed Aduib was elected to the Bridgeview library board; Nuha Hasan was elected as a Village of Justice park district commissioner. Four years earlier in 2007, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs sponsored a study about political and civic participation, which included the Muslim American community. Project Mobilize stated that “among the top three recommendations of this diverse task force was to increase the civic participation of the Muslim American population beyond its current scope. This principle mirrors the fundamental objective of Project M and its three-pronged mission.”

In the Project Mobilize website section “Why Us? Why Now?” it is clear that Project Mobilize was the genesis for the formation of the USCMO: “There is political talent in the Muslim American community that needs only direction and resources in order to gain substantive footing.” Project Mobilize leadership intended for itself to be a catalyst for political action: “The long and extensive history of mobilization by several local Muslim-membered organizations has adequately laid the foundation for more strategic and consistent organizing efforts in the future.”

In President Barack Obama’s first term, the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States began to experience a political climate more conducive to their advancement of “Phases of the World Underground Movement Plan” in accordance with the framework articulated by influential Muslim Brotherhood theologian Sayyid Qutb in his book Milestones. Project Mobilize affirmed this reality on their website: “And finally, the political climate is ripe for an organization that will pave the way for concentrated advocacy efforts in the name of the Muslim American community.” The Project Mobilize leadership tactically positioned itself looking long term with the eventual formation of the USCMO coming to fruition in March 2014.

As the 2016 presidential election cycle heats up, the USCMO initiative to fortify Muslim citizenship rights “by conducting a census of American Muslims to create a database that will be used to enhance civic and political participation in upcoming elections,” shows all the outward signs that the Muslim Brotherhood actively is working to create the equivalent of the Republican Party’s GOP Data Center, formerly known as Voter Vault.

In sum, the Muslim Brotherhood, ever since its alliance with Nazi Germany in WWII, hopping the ME via the Islamic/Nazi political parties of Syria and Iraq, expanded to over 70 countries in the interim to the present, and is now housed in the ubmrella of the Democrat Party via the USCMO, of which MAS is a major contributor and protected by the Muslim Brotherhood’s US legal arm CAIR.

There have been ZERO recognitions of the existence or relevanace to the Muslim Brotherhoods advanced penetration of US cultural and political institutions to this very moment.

The MSM have never mentioned the existence or purpose of theUSCMO to my knowledge. The “Terrible Trio” of Democrats Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, Omar along with Carson, Ellison et all represent the Muslim Brotherhoods ongoing attempt to co-opt the Democrat Party for purely Muslim Brotherhood purposes. The “Terrible Trio” have about 70 House Dems that vote withe them already and present a “clear and present danger” to the old Democrat socialist “old guard” that is visible clearly now. Pelosi and the DNC and the US have a Muslim Brotherhood problem that is an existential threat to our governmental and cultural systems.

Pres. Trump is intending the declaration of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. That is significant as it should force and enable immediate examination of penetration of Muslim front groups in the US that the USCMO and its influcence on the Dem Party and progressive Republican elements.

A deep examination of MAS as part of the USCMO is a mandatory requirement if the US is to finally identify, process and finally create appropriate dispositions to the threat of the greatest Jihad in world history, currently engulfing Europe in its last stages, and deeply penetrative of the US as well.

Trump has declared that the US will never be a socialist state. Pres. Trump should immediately modify that statement to read...”The US shall never become an Islamic/Socialist state”.

All of this is in plain view historically to the present and remains unidentified as the existentially threatening cultural, political and demographic assault on Western Civiliztion by the greatest and currently ongoing Jihad in world history. Western Civilization is living in a fog of its own creation in not recognizing plain reality.

There is more going back to a post from 2016, noting the front groups of the USCMO for the Muslim Brotherhood in the US allying with the Democrat party “progressives”. The following was noted during Ellison’s DNC deputy chairmanship:

No one is mentioning the significance of Schumer/Sanders et al of backing the Muslim Brotherhood’s representatives, Carson and Ellison in the House of Representatives and now at the leadership level of the DNC.

All freepers should look up US Council of Muslim Organizations and know that the Trump team is well aware of its existence and importance. The US media has studiously avoided covering any awareness or exposure of the organization and its purposes.

By considering Rep. Keith Ellison for chairman of the DNC, the Democrat Party is submitting to the Muslim interests in the US, namely the USCMO, the March of 2014 US Council of Muslim Organizations in Chicago, formed to directly influence the entire US political system in favor of Sharia issues, both Republican and Democrat.

If Ellison captures the chairmanship of the DNC, the DNC will be under the thrall of the USCMO, a fait accompli for Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood and its USCMO. The USCMO, as noted below has a similar effort, named the Voter Vault, aimed at co-opting the Republican party in time.

One can to to the USCMO’s home website and immediately identify the red, white and blue logo upper margin as artistically identical to the symbols Obama created for the office of the Presidency back in 2009...the connection of The DNC and Obama to the US Muslim Brotherhood organizations is linked just by artwork alone:

http://www.uscmo.org/

The Center for Security Policy, Gaffney’s group including Claire Lopez, a current Trump advisor, identified and has followed the USCMO since its inception:

In April 2010, Tariq Ramadan returned to the US where he was keynote speaker for both the Council on Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago (CIOGC) fundraising dinner and the 6th Annual CAIR-Chicago Banquet. In July 2010 and July 1011, Ramadan was a keynote speaker for both the 47th annual ISNA and the 48th annual ISNA conventions in Chicago. In December 2012 and December 2013, Ramadan was a keynote speaker for the 11th annual MAS-ICNA and 12th annual MAS-ICNA conventions in Chicago, where he has communicated the need for Muslim American integration and participation in the political process and society.

At the Project Mobilize website, its stated mission included the following:

To Develop the political capital existing within the Muslim American community;
To Organize the Muslim American community around issues determined relevant; and
To Advocate on behalf of the Muslim American community to elected officials and persons with political clout so that they act upon the concerns and desires of their Muslim American constituents.

In the Company Overview from their Facebook page, Project Mobilize described itself as “Based in the Chicagoland area, Project Mobilize or Project M is a non-profit political action and civic engagement organization dedicated to the education, development, and political advancement of the Muslim American community locally, statewide, and across the country.”

In April 2011, Project Mobilize successfully fielded its first candidatesfor political office: Asif Yusuf was elected as Oakbrook Village trustee; Ahmed Aduib was elected to the Bridgeview library board; Nuha Hasan was elected as a Village of Justice park district commissioner. Four years earlier in 2007, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs sponsored a study about political and civic participation, which included the Muslim American community. Project Mobilize stated that “among the top three recommendations of this diverse task force was to increase the civic participation of the Muslim American population beyond its current scope. This principle mirrors the fundamental objective of Project M and its three-pronged mission.”

In the Project Mobilize website section “Why Us? Why Now?” it is clear that Project Mobilize was the genesis for the formation of the USCMO: “There is political talent in the Muslim American community that needs only direction and resources in order to gain substantive footing.” Project Mobilize leadership intended for itself to be a catalyst for political action: “The long and extensive history of mobilization by several local Muslim-membered organizations has adequately laid the foundation for more strategic and consistent organizing efforts in the future.”

In President Barack Obama’s first term, the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States began to experience a political climate more conducive to their advancement of “Phases of the World Underground Movement Plan” in accordance with the framework articulated by influential Muslim Brotherhood theologian Sayyid Qutb in his book Milestones. Project Mobilize affirmed this reality on their website: “And finally, the political climate is ripe for an organization that will pave the way for concentrated advocacy efforts in the name of the Muslim American community.” The Project Mobilize leadership tactically positioned itself looking long term with the eventual formation of the USCMO coming to fruition in March 2014.

As the 2016 presidential election cycle heats up, the USCMO initiative to fortify Muslim citizenship rights “by conducting a census of American Muslims to create a database that will be used to enhance civic and political participation in upcoming elections,” shows all the outward signs that the Muslim Brotherhood actively is working to create the equivalent of the Republican Party’s GOP Data Center, formerly known as Voter Vault.

Hi.

Antisemitism unfortunately, will be on earth until the end of time.

So, identify it, engage it and defeat it. By any means, hopefully nonviolent.
