On July 13, the California State Assembly introduced a resolution commemorating August as “American Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month.” House Resolution No.52 (HR 52) honors the “cultural traditions” of some 1 million Muslim Americans who call California home, and the charitable contributions that Muslims have bestowed upon “people of all faiths and backgrounds in California.”
So far, so good. However, the bill follows this introduction with a praiseful list of “prominent Muslim figures who continue to make significant contributions to the State of California and the United States.” With few exceptions, the state’s honorees hail from Sunni Islamist backgrounds, possessing alarming track records of bigotry and extremism, and even fostering disturbing links to foreign terrorist groups and jihadist movements….
Former State Assembly Member Bill Quirk first introduced legislation honoring California Muslims in 2016. The inaugural bill made sweeping statements about the “rich history” and “invaluable contributions of Muslim Americans in California and across the country,” without identifying any specific community members.
Later iterations of the legislation named specific Muslim achievers, while mostly straying from controversial public figures. A Nobel Prize winner, an Academy Award-winning actor, a county judge, and a saber fencer were honored in multiple bills between 2017 and 2022.
Last year, Quirk retired, and sponsorship of the annual resolution celebrating Muslim achievements was passed to Assembly Member Eloise Reyes (D-50), an influential Democratic leader from the lower chamber. Reyes removed the familiar list of honorees, who were selected from a diverse set of professions and charitable undertakings, and replaced them almost exclusively with Sunni Islamists.
Perhaps the most notorious Islamist institution to appear in the 2023 resolution is the California branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CA), which the bill praises for its “legal services and advocacy” on behalf of Muslims and other minorities. In a 2007 trial, CAIR was listed as an unindicted conspirator involved in fundraising for Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist group, and a total of seven senior CAIR employees have been convicted or deported for serious terrorism-related offenses.

Note the elegant words of “appreciation “ and “contributions” in context of this Islamic-fascist lobby
Muslims haven’t bestowed anything to “people of all faiths”, least of all Christians.
How about September being “American Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month”? Something was done in September by muzzs that forever changed the course of history. Americans need to be reminded of the wonderful contributions of muzzs every year on September 11.
Can we banners with a Barbary pirate on it to celebrate it for 30 days ?
