Faisal Gill was born in Karachi, Pakistan in 1972 and emigrated to the United States in 1980. . . . In 2003, Gill served as a spokesman for the American Muslim Council, an organization founded by Abdurahman Alamoudi to encourage Muslim political participation. al-Alamoudi was sentenced to 23 years in federal prison for bringing over one million dollars in cash provided by the Libyan government into the U.S. . . . After being appointed by George W. Bush as a policy director for the Department of Homeland Security, Gill was investigated by officials in connection to al-Amoudi but was ultimately cleared by a polygraph test and allowed to resume work. [2] However, anti-Islamic pundit Frank Gaffney led a public campaign to discredit Gill, highlighting the brief inquiry into Gill’s AMC connections and soliciting letters from Congressional Republicans calling for an investigation . . .

Really stupid people. They do not want to believe that Islam is a threat to their existence.

This is not even an elected position with the government, like dog catcher or city councilman, this is just an appointment within a political party.

This sends a clear message that the Democrats are so scared of Trump that they don’t know what to do. Electing a Muslim animal to lead their Party is insane given the fact that they are already sinking.

Woman in Starbucks today with a big white button that said “Keep Our Muslim Neighbors Safe.” That’s to stop all the terrorist attacks by non-Muslims against Muslims I guess.

Not only Sanders, but Dean, Leahy, and Jeffords. The whole state is a mental ward.

"The message I get out of it is the deomcRATS still have no idea why they lost all those seats."

Yup...as they continue their anti-American and anti-Western culture ways.

The Left and Islam are on the same side.

And that’s not America’s side, imo.

Sounds like a message to any reasonable-thinking Democrat that it is time to get out of the party. It is beyond redeemable.
