I’m trying to figure out - how can you tell the guy in back of her is NOI? The one talking to her - has a shirt saying “ISLAMIC” something or other.

From the article:

“At the event, MAS leader Khalilah Sabra openly discussed the importance of Muslim support for Black Lives Matter, and urged ‘revolution.’”

A VOICE FOR MUSLIM CIVIL RIGHTS
Wichita Eagle, The (KS) - March 29, 2008

Author/Byline: YONAT SHIMRON

RALEIGH, N.C. -Standing 5-foot-2 and wearing a Muslim head scarf, Khalilah Sabra doesn’t look like a firebrand.

But the diminutive woman has become the voice for Muslims in the Triangle, and over the past few years has shown she will not be cowed.

She recently took on a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security who tried to smooth relations with Muslims. When the official described to Muslims the new steps his office was taking to ease their security hassles at airports and to respond to complaints about detentions, Sabra was the first to get up and speak.

“It sounds like Habitat for Humanity,” Sabra scowled, conveying that she did not accept the rosy picture he had painted. “Don’t you think the laws are directed at Middle Easterners and Middle Eastern-looking people?”

Sabra, who converted to Islam 26 years ago, has emerged as one of the loudest defenders of her faith, locking arms with those who have been harassed , intimidated or discriminated against. As the director of the local Muslim American Society’s Freedom Foundation, she sees her role as ushering in a new era of Muslim civil rights activism.

If Sept. 11, 2001, woke up Americans to the reality of Islamic terrorism on their own soil, it woke up Sabra to what she saw as prejudice against Muslim American immigrants. Sabra felt uniquely qualified to serve as an advocate. She is American-born, a convert from Roman Catholicism. And she has lived abroad - in Pakistan in 1989, and in Lebanon from 1995 to 1997 with her husband and family.

If anyone understood the complexities of Muslim Americans, she did.

So Sabra, 41, threw herself into community action.

“The day of isolationism is over,” she said. “It’s time to get involved.”

But Sabra is not only critical of U.S. policies that deprive Muslims of their liberties, she is also critical of her own faith community.

In the days and months after Sept. 11, Sabra saw her religion vilified in public and few within the local community rising to defend it. There were no Muslims on the local school board, no Muslims on the city council, and only one Muslim in the state legislature.

“It was our fault,” said Sabra, adding, “We were not involved in the realm of politics or community services, and others defined us.”

But Muslim Americans had more than an image problem. Sabra began to hear stories of civil liberties denied. They included women turned down for jobs because of their head scarves, and permanent residents whose citizenship applications were permanently on hold.

As the wife of a Cisco engineer with a comfortable salary, Sabra began challenging fellow Muslims by example. She spoke in churches. She encouraged fellow Muslims to register to vote. She began interfaith conversations with local Jews. She marched in the NAACP’s rally in downtown Raleigh against racism, poverty and war.

At one event, state Sen. Larry Shaw of Fayetteville heard her speak and later walked up to her. “Sister, who are you?” asked Shaw, the state’s only Muslim legislator. Sabra has since adopted Shaw as a mentor.

That’s what I read, he lived with his mother. How could she not know what stuff he had, or his views.

The video I posted to you is not the one I saw yesterday. I assumed it was from the same viewpoint as the one on Facebook. And you are correct. The man’s shirt doesn’t say Nation of Islam. I assumed. I can’t make out what the shirt says on one side. It is a Black Lives Matter shirt. It says Donate Advocate ??????? Islamic ??????

And if not ISIS, there’s lots of other Islamic terrorist groups, including Obama and Hillary’s friend the Muslim brotherhood.

So? What will be the outcome. Oh, I get it. The officials will send a letter to the groups and ask for forgiveness. /s/

Unfortunately, probable the result.

Professor Griff’s phone number is 6785572919 for those of you have questions about his financial need. He has stated that he is not operating at his 100% self and is need of physical Rehabilitation due to an automobile accident. He also needs financial help with retrieving his U.S. passport so that he can continue to do his good works. Griff is not financially rich he wouldn’t be asking for your support if he really didn’t need it. Where is the Love and Respect for my Family who has sacrificed his time and life on building up other people’s lives. How many celebrities do you know that will give out their phone number for a fan or stranger to call them because you have something you need to talk about and Griff is there to converse with you.. With that being said if you have a question concerning his go fund me campaign just call him and skip making needless comments before you decide to donate.

Not at all! He’s got a shirt that says “ISLAMIC” on it and that’s damning in itself, and he’s obviously coaching her.

muhammad.victor30.06.2016 Great picture. Farrakhan was part of the inspiration for Public Enemy. Some of these negative comments are expected from the youth that have no historical information about both of these men...
