The Imam on Trump’s Inauguration Program
FrontPage Magazine ^ | Jan 17 2025 | Daniel Greenfield

The enemy within is already trying to burrow inside.

“The time may be soon to go back home,” Imam Husham Al-Husainy told CBS News. The year was 2003 and Al-Husainy, along with the other Iraqi Shiite ‘refugees’ filling Dearborn’s Muslim community, had gotten their fondest wish when the United States removed Saddam Hussein.

Imam Husham Al-Husainy never did “go back home” to his native Iraq. Instead, alongside urging his congregants to vote in Iraq’s elections, spent the next 20 years interfering in ours, exploiting faked hate crimes to call for Sharia law, and moving back and forth between parties.

While the Iraq War would in retrospect be blamed on conservatives and Jews, it was the Shiite lobby in Dearborn, Michigan that was the most vocal in keeping the pressure on in Iraq. After the first Bush administration’s failed regime change operation to remove Saddam in 1991, the U.S. imposed a ‘No Fly Zone’ to protect the Shiite rebels, some of whom fled to Dearborn.

Dearborn, once the center of a thriving industry, became the American capital of a Shiite Jihadist movement where Hezbollah flags were flown and “Death to America” was chanted. Even their initial enthusiasm for America’s overthrow of Saddam gave way to support for Shiite supremacy against Iraq’s minorities along with Israel and the United States of America.

And the Iraqis who had backed Republicans to overthrow Saddam turned around and supported the Democrats so that their fellow Shiites would be able to take over Iraq after Saddam’s fall.

That also explains how Imam Al-Husainy ended up being scheduled to deliver a ‘benediction’ on the leaked program for the Trump inauguration. Dearborn’s Shiite vote has swung back and forth between Democrats and Republicans based on what they wanted to see happen in the Middle East.

After Oct 7, Dearborn cast its bet on the GOP to stop Israel and save Hamas.

Imam Al-Husainy’s inclusion on the inauguration program signaled the Shiite Lobby’s new power. That power was meant to be used not so much for Dearborn, as for Iran’s agenda.

In 2022, Al-Husayini gloated over the expansionism of Iran or “the Islamic Republic. They are now the light going into Lebanon, to Syria, to Iraq, to Yemen.” Back in 2003 Al-Husainy was in Iran, after representing Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim who had “15,000 Iraqi troops armed and trained by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard”. The IRGC, Iran’s global terrorist arm, was behind Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and countless other Islamic terrorist groups.

Hakim’s Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq would later seize power. Its Badr Brigade would spawn Jihadists at war with America including Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the terror leader known as ‘The Engineer’, who would be taken out by the Trump administration in the same airstrike that also took out Iran’s IRGC terror boss Qasem Soleimani.

Like many Shiites, Imam Al-Husainy stewed over the deaths of Soleimani and ‘The Engineer’.

Al-Husainy’s Facebook page and that of his Dearborn mosque, the Karbalaa Islamic Education Center, put up posters and images praising the dead terrorists.“They killed me on Friday, so they rose up for me on Friday,” a caption for Al-Muhandis read. His personal Facebook page published a picture of the terrorist under the caption of “I died for you to live free” and pictures praising Soleimani. A post speculated that the incorrectly reported death of CIA agent Michael D’Andrea was Allah’s revenge for Soleimani’s death. Another called the terrorists “martyrs”.

Whether it was Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen or Gaza, the chief consideration for Dearborn’s Shiite Lobby was the victory of Iran and its Shiite Jihadis. Alongside funerals and fasts, Imam Husham Al-Husainy rallied his mosquegoers in the streets waving Iraqi flags when Shiites hung Saddam, or to curse and denounce the Saudis, Israel or Turkey for interfering with Shiite ambitions.

Very good article by Daniel Greenfield on this Dearborn mosque. An equal opportunity imam, as long as he gets what he wants.

Will these parasites ever become genuine patriots?

History says, “No!”

Dearborn is now a harbor of Islam.

Send them to Los Angeles.

I think that’s the same guy. If he rallied his people to vote red/Trump, I’m OK with him being there. But a prayer ... uh uh; I don’t think so.

It strange. Almost a waiting game.

They can’t go back because it is so dangerous, is Saddam’s Iraq.

Then Saddam is gone.

They can’t go back because they have new lives and have become productive citizens.

Now, they can’t go back because it is so dangerous, is Assad’s Syria.

Now Assad is gone.

They can’t go back because they have new lives and families, and have become productive citizens.

So they stay here forever, and collect welfare.

I trust Trump’s judgement on this... not everyone Trump’s going to be negotiating with will be ‘the good guys’. Same with tariffs - they can bite back sometimes but it’s a chip in a game. Same with Imams at inaugurations.

Bad advice. The problem is he takes it.

What is this with all this Dem approach to life? Dems in the cabinet, Dem preferred groups in ceremonies, self-consciously pandering to the preferred groups.

Sounds like Dem to me.

And the imam ended up not delivering a benediction after all.

Sounds like cooler heads prevailed.
