For days, Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has been dogged by criticism — including from the Republican Jewish Coalition — about his ties to a Minnesota imam who praised Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack and once shared a link to a pro-Hitler documentary.
Now, the Harris-Walz campaign has responded, saying that Walz has no “personal relationship” with Imam Asad Zaman, the executive director of the Muslim American Society Minnesota, a network of seven mosques, despite appearing together in public events on several occasions.
And the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is calling on political leaders in Minnesota to avoid appearing with Zaman and to make clear, if they have appeared with him in the past, that they do not share his “toxic views.”
Zaman appeared alongside Walz on several occasions between 2018 and May 2023. When he was running for governor in 2018, Walz called Zaman a “master teacher,” and the imam delivered an invocation before a speech Walz gave in 2019.

Noticed that little qualifier as well. As if that makes it OK to hang with Jew hating head chopper.
Harris campaign joyfully says Walz had “no relationship” w/ the radical Muslim cleric Zaman.

Walz’s administration has donated over $100,000 tax dollars to Zaman’s group,
according to state financial records reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
Zaman’s “The Minnesota Muslim American Society” is a chapter of the Muslim American Society (MAS), which the United Arab Emirates designated a terrorist group in 2014.
MAS faced criticism in 2019 when a video emerged of children at a Philadelphia chapter event calling for Jewish people to be killed.
Federal prosecutors have described the MAS as “founded as the overt US arm of the aggressively anti-America “Muslim Brotherhood,” according to court records, the Washington Examiner first reported.

They didn’t have sex?
Says who?
Well, he says he has no personal relationship with the Imam. Vague enough to interpreted that way. So I’ll interpret it that way. They didn’t have sex. But he still believes the Imam is a master teacher.
Interesting headline.
Israel’s enemedia leaves Walz’s name out of the headline...
In order to screw with search results...?
Betcha.
I’m still waiting for the appearance of the boys he “coached” over the years. No way that perv didn’t step over the line a few, or many, times.
