Moslems For Obama Should Concern Everyone
Radical Muslims for Obama
By Joe Kaufman
FrontPageMagazine.com
With its similarity to popular online sites such as Facebook and MySpace and its links to a network of grassroots blogs, Barack Obama’s campaign website has been hailed as a testament to the candidate’s transformative politics.
But at least part of the senator’s online outreach, “Muslim Americans for Obama ’08,” proposes installing Muslim prayer areas in public places and giving Muslims time off for prayer and has denounced Obama’s colleagues in the U.S. Senate who happen to be Jewish. This segment of Obama's online outreach also has ties to unindicted co-conspirators in terror trials and has recruited Obama supporters from among the ranks of fundamentalist Muslim extremists.
On the blog, which is attached to BarackObama.com, viewers can read about “the Senate pro-Israeli zionist hawk Joe Lieberman,” as well as criticism aimed at Obama himself for getting too cozy with the Israeli lobby. As stated on the blog, that last part was derived from information found on Electronic Intifada (EI), a terror apologist website based in Chicago, Illinois, Obama’s hometown. According to the site’s co-founder, Ali Abunimah, Senator Obama once told him, regarding Abunimah’s anti-American and anti-Israel writings, to “Keep up the good work!”
While the Muslim Americans for Obama ’08 blog is hosted by Obama’s website, it is actually part of another site that goes by the same name, located at muslimsforobama08.com. The registered agent for the site is Zakiyah Omar, a women’s costume designer from Jacksonville, Florida. Omar has been involved in the Obama campaign since December 2006 (She has had the site since February ’07). She too has her own blog hosted by the official Obama website.
On the Muslim Americans for Obama ’08 site, one will find a list of upcoming events, issues and solutions, details on how to join, a links section to sites of interest, and of course, a link to the blog. There’s even a toll-free number to call for more information.
Within the events section, a number of the listings pertain to conferences and conventions being sponsored by organizations that have a number of troubling ties. One is the 44th Annual ISNA National Convention, held in Rosemont, Illinois.
ISNA or the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) was recently named an “Unindicted Co-conspirator” for a Dallas trial that dealt with the funding of millions of dollars to Hamas. Beginning in December 2003, ISNA was the subject of a Senate investigation into the financing of terror groups overseas. The group currently uses its website to propagate violent hatred against Jews and Christians. (more info at Frontpage)
Another of the events listed is the 32nd ICNA-MAS Convention, held in Hartford, Connecticut. ICNA or the Islamic Circle of North America, in August 2006, was the top donor to a Pakistani charity that, at the time, had given $99,000 to the head of Hamas, Khaled Mashaal. Four people associated with the ICNA-related ‘Houston Taliban’ were arrested and charged with jihad training with firearms, for the purpose of joining the Taliban to attack Americans overseas.
MAS or the Muslim American Society, like ISNA, uses the web to spread violent hatred against non-Muslims. In April 2004, MAS’s Communications Director, Randall Todd “Ismail” Royer, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his activities within the ‘Virginia Jihad Network,’ a group that was conspiring with Laskar-e-Taiba (LeT) to attack Americans and Indians abroad.
Yet another event listing is the 2007 MANA National Convention, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. MANA or the Muslim Alliance in North America was founded in May of 2000, in response to the arrest of cop killer H. Rap Brown, a.k.a. Jamil Al-Amin. The President (Amir) of the organization is Siraj Wahhaj, an individual that was named by the U.S. government an “Unindicted Co-conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
According to Muslim Americans for Obama ’08, it took part in “VOTER REGISTRATION/INFORMATION BOOTHS,” at each of the above venues. Taking that into consideration, since Muslim Americans for Obama ’08 is officially part of the Barack Obama for President team – or as the campaign puts it, “Community” – one can conclude that Senator Obama and/or his campaign had sanctioned its attendance at these events.
Further troubling are the following “Issues & Solutions” on the site:
* Institute a Law to allow Muslim Employees to take an hour off from work for Friday Jummah Prayer.
* Make the 2 Eid’s recognized National Holidays on Calendars with days off from work.
* Provide prayer areas suitable for Salah and Jummah, in public and private facilities. (i.e. Malls, Airports, Universities and government buildings.)
Found on the right side of the website’s homepage are a series of links, most of which deal with information about Senator Obama and the campaign. One of them, though, is a link to Aswat Al-Islam, a radical Islamic multimedia outlet. Muslim Americans for Obama ’08 lists it as “Quran (Audio) English Translation.”
Aswat Al-Islam features the works of such Islamist luminaries as: “Uninidicted Co-conspirators” of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Siraj Wahhaj and Bilal Philips; anti-Christian bigot, Ahmed Deedat; pro-wife beating author, Jamal Badawi; suicide bombing supporter, Yusuf Al-Qaradawi; and the chief cleric of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, who has called for the murders of Jews, Christians and Americans and has described Jews as “the scum of the human race, the rats of the world, the killers of prophets, and the grandsons of monkeys and pigs,” Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais.
According to Muslim Americans for Obama ’08, Senator Barack Obama “is the BEST candidate for the job in 2008.” But being the best candidate should have as a requisite keeping company that is worthy of respect. Recently, Obama has been cited for having a racist and anti-Israel pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and a campaign advisor that has expressed sympathy for Hamas and Hezbollah, Robert Malley.
If Sen. Obama truly is worthy of the presidency of the United States, he should publicly distance himself from these extremist groups and individuals. And if he does not want his campaign to be seen as hospitable to radical voices, he should sever his ties with the blog that provides credible evidence for this charge.

Wild Thing's comment........
Interesting article and he provides a lot of links and oh how I wish we had a different media. One that would get the true word out on all the candidates.
They could take one candidate an evening, no holds bared kind of thing for everyone in both political parties. Then just let the people decide but this way they would have all the facts in their faces. It might wake up some on the left that are not too far left and it would shame the RNC for giving us freaking rino's that descent people have had to talk themselves into voting for. Or am I dreaming here. sigh

The man is so charismatic that it's scary.
He reminds one of David Koresh and the Branch Davidian cult that Clinton sent tanks to destroy.
Sure, it was a cult and they were probably abusing the children, but there was no need for what he did to them.
Obama will do this to Christians. He will throw us in the lions den, like they did to Daniel. We have to have no fear and fight back. But once he lets the Muslims take the reigns, it will be all over. We will have to conform or we will be executed. The antichrist will have us take the mark or be executed. I'd rather be executed than live for all eternity in the Lake of Fire.

Exellent reference by Lynn to David Koresh. Koresh had his cult, and his weapons. But Koresh did not want to "takeover" America. He just wanted to be left alone. The local authorities held him pretty well in check and he showed a respect for them. Then comes Clinton, Reno and the ATF Gestapo team and history is made.
Now we have a Muslim attracting the masses. Obama could well be the next White House resident. Unbelievable! And people were fearful of a Catholic president in the 60's. His background is scary, but low profile, like a guerilla fighter. His contacts are radicals. This man is very dangerous.He is about to open the main door for our most vicious enemy. America is on the verge of a living nightmare.

And some people we worried about the Mormon in the race uh?

Lynn , I agree, he is charismatic.
Even though he has no real deepth, he can get a crowd excited and rally his followers. He missed his calling, he should go live in some 3rd world country and be a dictator. Or a lesser power just be a minister and he would have a church of thousands immediately. But please dear Lord not President of the USA.

Tom, your right, that is what is scaring me. His connections that are silent unless a person does a research on him and so few do. Or omaybe they do and don't care. They should especially after the USS Cole and 9-11 and all the other attacks. This man is very dangerous.
Posted by: Wild Thing at February 11, 2008 05:27 PM
Jo, exactly!! I was shocked how awful people behaved about Romney being a Mormon and totally ignored even the issues and things that are important. Huck has been pushing his faith more then anyone yet no one has even complained about that. Or Obama and his background either.
