Jihad-enabling GOPer Tom Campbell Wants to be California’s U.S. Senator

It’s not just that Campbell was one of the most liberal Republicans in the House of Representatives. It’s much more important than that:

Campbell was the Islamic terrorists’ best friend in Congress when he served. Campbell, as I’ve noted before, is a friend of convicted Islamic terrorist and Islamic Jihad founder and frontman, Sami Al-Arian.

He did everything in his power to stop Al-Arian from being convicted or deported. He was also one of the most anti-Israel members of Congress and the most pan-Muslim. The alphabet soup of Muslim interest groups–CAIR, MPAC, ISNA, MAS–all knew that Campbell was their go-to guy and even placed extremist Muslims (redundant) as staffers in his office, including the son of an Al-Qaeda fundraiser

When [Sami] Al-Arian was fired from the University of South Florida, from which he ran his terrorist network, Campbell wrote a letter of support praising Al-Arian and asking the University president to reconsider her decision. In the letter, Campbell noted that Al-Arian helped him raise money for his failed U.S. Senate bid.

[Campbell’s] donors have included Nihad Awad, executive director of the anti-Israel Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) . . . .

Other Campbell donors, besides Al-Arian, included Muthanna Al-Hanooti, an official of an Islamic charity that is a major donor to what the FBI identified as HAMAS’ Jordanian operation [DS: Since I wrote this, Al-Hanooti was indicted as a spy for Saddam Hussein]; and Tariq Hamdi, an Al-Arian associate, who was indicted last month on immigration and mortgage fraud charges and has fled the country.

According to testimony in the trials of perpetrators of the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings, Hamdi provided the satellite phone battery to Osama Bin Laden that was instrumental in those bombings.

Another donor, Abdurahman Alamoudi, was captured on video in front of the White House announcing his support for HAMAS and Hezbollah. . . . His indictment connected him with assorted Islamic terrorist groups and activities.

Those are Campbell’s donors. Then, there are Campbell’s former employees.

Suhail Khan held several key positions for Campbell, including Press Secretary and Policy Director.

But Khan is an Islamist who invited terror supporters and anti-Semites to the Bush White House (where he once worked) and whose father brought Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri into the United States to raise money for Al-Qaeda.

His father, Mahboob Khan, late founder and head of the Santa Clara Mosque, brought Zawahiri into the U.S. twice on a fake passport in the mid-’90s to raise money for Al-Qaeda. . . .

"In the 2010 bid by Tom Campbell for the Republican nomination for Senator of California, a dispute was triggered by a letter Campbell had written to USF's president in defense of Al-Arian on January 21, 2002. Campbell said he had not been aware of the charges against Al-Arian when he wrote his letter asking USF not to discipline Al-Arian. He also said he had not been aware that Al-Arian had said, in a speech, "Jihad is our path. Victory to Islam. Death to Israel." In the letter, Campbell said he had: "read a transcript of the O'Reilly Factor interview". Campbell said:

I did not hear, I did not read, I was not aware of statements Sami Al-Arian had made relative to Israel. And I would not have written the letter had I known about those. ... To say 'Death to Israel' is abhorrent, it's horrible.

Campbell said he erred in not researching Al-Arian more thoroughly before writing his letter, that while he was not aware he "should have" been aware of Al-Arian's statements, and that he now regrets having written the letter. “I was wrong,” he said. “I should not have done so. I regret it."

This is really a tempest in a teapot. I guess you consider him an anti-semite.

SoCalPol: You made a very good post here. In it you state “Campbell was the Islamic terrorists’ best friend in Congress when he served. Campbell, as I’ve noted before, is a friend of convicted Islamic terrorist and Islamic Jihad founder and frontman, Sami Al-Arian.”

He and others like him need to be exposed and opposed. Outing supporters like Kabar is also important.

Keep up the good work.
