Charlotte activist Jibril Hough was among two dozen people escorted out of a Donald Trump rally after protesting remarks the presidential candidate has made about Muslims.
Hough, a Muslim who is spokesperson for the Islamic Center of Charlotte, has been a mainstay in Charlotte protests in the last few years, including a series of protests connected to the racially charged shooting of an unarmed black man by a white police officer.
Hough said he purchased the tickets for the Aiken, S.C., rally weeks in advance on the Trump website.
In videos that show Hough being escorted out, he’s wearing a kufi, a traditional Muslim head covering, and a black T-shirt that says “Fight the Power,†an allusion to an anti-establishment rap song from the 1980s.
“A very elementary investigation would have revealed I wasn’t exactly a Trump supporter,†Hough said. “I didn’t go in there undercover, either. I wore a kufi and a Public Enemy T-shirt.â€
Hough said he was escorted out twice. The first time, he was taken out by guards who cited security concerns after Hough got a text message about waiting for a cue.
Near the end of Trump’s remarks, Hough stood up and started chanting after the candidate was asked a question about closing the camp for detainees in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Most of the detainees are Muslim.
The hourlong rally in Aiken was “interrupted several times by protesters who think Trump’s views divide the country along lines of race, religion and national origin,†according to The (Columbia) State newspaper.
As Hough was being escorted out, he held up a Star of David with the word “Muslim†inscribed on it. He said Trump’s recent remarks about banning Muslims from the United States are reminiscent of Adolf Hitler’s actions toward Jews.
“I try not to use that Hitler comparison loosely, because he kind of stands alone, but you’ve got to start somewhere,†Hough said. “A lot of people think (Trump is) a buffoon – I do, too. But he’s leading the polls. I think that he’s a buffoon you have to take seriously.â€
Trump, who has led South Carolina polls since July, was making his fourth stop in three weeks in the state with the South’s first 2016 presidential primary. The New York real estate mogul has created headlines during his past two stops in South Carolina.
In Myrtle Beach last month, he stood behind often-refuted claims that thousands of Muslims were seen cheering in New Jersey in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. On Monday, in Mount Pleasant, S.C., Trump defended his newly released plan to ban Muslims temporarily from entering the United States in the wake of mass shootings in Paris and San Bernardino, Calif.
I hear sprinkles of the word “buffoon” to describe Trump here and there increasingly.
If he really is such a buffoon, why should they be worried about him getting elected?
Anyone celebrating 3,000 deaths anywhere is unacceptable.
Muslims million Americans in America because they are Americans will not be tolerated. Nor, will the ideology behind it.
Donald Trump is “no” Buffoon ... Lindsay Graham, “yes” ...
Uh, Muslims killing Americans
For the life of me, I don’t know why Lindsey Graham is still in the race, or ever gets in it to begin with. Isn’t this his 2nd or 3rd try?
Fudge packer.
Islam is a violent, world-domination political ideology cleverly disguised as a religion, and it causes insanity in its followers.
Hmmm. He purchased tickets? Can muzzies ever be truthful? The tickets in Raleigh were free.

Wait'll hillary takes the stage ...
Standard procedure when a heckler is disrupting a speech. But only if you’re a Leftist. If it’s a Donald Trump speech, then it’s obviously racist.
They are very worried, hence the attempt to label him. Unfortunately campaign labeling efforts only work very early in the campaign. thus, it's way too late.

MUSLIM LEADER IMPLODES ON AIR
Key critic of Rep. Sue Myrick exposed as radical by radio jock

EXCERPT
But during an in-studio interview Friday with Charlotte radio personality Keith Larson of WBT-AM, Hough was confronted with documents revealing his mosque – the Islamic Center of Charlotte – is owned and controlled by an organization connected to a plot to funnel millions of dollars to Islamic terrorists.
The North American Islamic Trust holds the deed to ICC, an 800-member Sunni mosque located on five acres at 1700 Progress Lane in Charlotte. The U.S. Justice Department recently blacklisted its owner NAIT as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror finance case in U.S. history. The government also identified NAIT as a front for Hamas and the radical Muslim Brotherhood in America.
Saudi-funded NAIT owns the title to hundreds of radical mosques across the country, including the notorious 9/11 mosque in Northern Virginia – Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center (deed) – which helped some of the hijackers obtain housing and IDs and also counseled the Fort Hood terrorist and several other known terrorists.
“”Charlotte activist Jibril Hough was among two dozen people escorted out of a Donald Trump rally after protesting remarks the presidential candidate has made about Muslims””
They absolutely HAVE to go where they know they will be offended, don’t they? Why not just stay home and mind their own business? Aren’t they afraid we may talk about them and their savage ways in the privacy of our own homes also?
Bump.
