Democratic Delegate Has Terror Ties | By Debbie Schlussel

John Kerry is trying to show he’s "tough on terrorism." But with delegates like Ismael Ahmed, it’s a tough sell. Ahmed, a Michigan delegate to this week’s Democratic National Convention, is a long-time Democratic activist and a repeat delegate. But the Democrats aren’t touting him to the media. In fact, the only place you’ll read about Ahmed’s delegate credentials is on Al-Jazeerah’s website.

In this first Presidential nominating convention since 9/11, Ahmed’s presence at the convention and his views are more disturbing than ever.

[mikvahyid]

Know thine enemy. It's nice to know who they support. It's amazing though, most Americans just don't seem to make the connection that the same people who danced when the WTC was hit, encourage attacks on Americans in Iraq, and equate the US and Israel with the same venom, support the Democrat party. It's telling, isn't it?

Nice catch.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

This is quite disturbing. Thank you for posting...

And welcome to Free Republic. :o)

[SirLurkedalot]

Very telling but it's no surprise.This is why the Left needs to be defeated at every turn. Welcome to FR.

[taxesareforever]

Reading the article makes me wonder if the Democrats and the Republicans aren't in lockstep in supporting radical Muslims.

[geopyg]

Some short summaries from the article:

Ahmed is the founder and executive director of ACCESS – the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services, based in Dearborn, Michigan.

ACCESS helped two men who were CONVICTED of being in a Detroit Al-Qaeda sleeper cell with plans for bombings.

Ahmed makes no apologies, ...comparing their membership in the terrorist group to mere "political credential," such as Democrat or Republican.

[Defender2]

Ist it possible that Ahmed is possibly related to this Ahmed????

kerry, testimony before Congress, 22 April, 1971, kerry says, "I have been to Paris. I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government,...."*(not on any authorised mission by the U.S. Government or by the U.S. military, kerry and his VVAW group meets and negotiates with the then enemy).

*excerpted from the Official U.S. Congressional Record dated 22 April, 1971.


"revamp the U.S. military", read as kerry's plan to PURGE the U.S. Military of Pro U.S. Military Veterans and Republicans, make it totally dependant on U.N. forces support for any significant achievement capable military(similar to france,germany, etc.), Turn home based U.S. Armed Forces, Intelligence agencies and Law Enforcement agencies into the democratic party's{including CPUSA and DSA} Praetorian Guard!!!!


kerry stabbed U.S. in the back continually since his return from Viet Nam. How much more backstabbing from this 22 April, 1971 testimony(self confessed traitor) before Congress that he(kerry) met with the then enemy in Paris, are we supposed to stand????

Democratic Delegate Has Terror Ties

John Kerry is trying to show he’s "tough on terrorism."

But with delegates like Ismael Ahmed, it’s a tough sell.

Ahmed, a Michigan delegate to this week’s Democratic National Convention, is a long-time Democratic activist and a repeat delegate.

But the Democrats aren’t touting him to the media. In fact, the only place you’ll read about Ahmed’s delegate credentials is on Al-Jazeerah’s website.

In this first Presidential nominating convention since 9/11, Ahmed’s presence at the convention and his views are more disturbing than ever.



Ahmed is the founder and executive director of ACCESS – the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services, based in Dearborn, Michigan.

Under Ahmed’s leadership, ACCESS paid for commercial driving lessons and attempts at hazardous material hauling certificates for two men convicted as part of the Detroit Al-Qaeda sleeper cell. Testimony at their trial revealed that the men planned to bomb the MGM Grand Casino and a host of other prominent US sites.

More chilling is that since ACCESS’ multi-million dollar budget is largely tax-funded, tax dollars likely paid for these men to get their "job training" organized by ACCESS.

When confronted with this, Ahmed made no apologies. On the contrary, he was defiant in defending his organization’s aid to the Qaeda sleepers, comparing their membership in the terrorist group to mere "political credential," such as Democrat or Republican.

In 2002, ACCESS sponsored and funded the Second Annual Palestinian Students Divestment Conference at the University of Michigan. The conference’s keynote speaker was Sami Al-Arian, the now-indicted, alleged leader of the Islamic Jihad terrorist group.

His activities were well-known at the time, including letters stating that "the merger with the brothers in Hamas" was almost complete and bragging of a successful bus-bombing in Israel. Other conference speakers included assorted anti-Semites and anti-Westerners who had previously exhorted violence against and murder of Jews.


When confronted on ACCESS’ sponsorship of this conference, Ahmed – whose agency provides tax-funded "sensitivity training"-- told a reporter that it was a cultural activity for Arabic students in the area.

Ahmed apparently thinks that donating to terrorist groups is also a "cultural activity." He opposed the Clinton Counter-terrorism package of 1996, because it prohibited donations to terrorist groups, including Hezbollah and Hamas. Ahmed told a Detroit paper of the difficulty finding Arab-Americans who did not give to these groups.

Give Ahmed credit for his honesty – for once. He has been less than truthful about his own background. For example, he has bragged in writings and to reporters of his "tours" and "hitches" in Vietnam and claimed that he is a "Vietnam Veteran."

But, while Ahmed did serve in the U.S. Army, any time he spent in Vietnam was as a tourist – unlike his party’s likely Presidential nominee. While Ahmed was briefly in Korea, military records show that most of his military career was spent stateside at Fort Knox. "Records do not indicate veteran served in Vietnam," wrote Scott Levins, Assistant Director for Military Records at the National Personnel Records Center.



Then there is Ahmed’s reason for founding ACCESS. The organization claims it exists to help Americans of all sorts get social service help. But in an old newspaper interview, Ahmed admits he founded ACCESS "as an advocacy group" while campaigning to persuade auto unions to divest their Israeli bond portfolios.

Since then, Ahmed has used ACCESS to shake down corporations and government, much the same way Jesse Jackson has for Operation PUSH and the Rainbow Coalition. And what a coincidence: Ismael Ahmed ran one of Jackson’s successful wins of the Michigan Democratic Primary in the 1980s. Ahmed continues to shower Jackson with accolades, including keynote speeches at ACCESS’ annual banquet. "Unfortunately," he recently wrote, "Americans had not listened to Jessie [sic] Jackson’s election warning to ‘Stay out of the Bushes.’ "

But, despite the dig, Democrats are not alone in pandering to Ismael Ahmed and ACCESS. In fall 2002, President Bush went out of his way to recognize ACCESS, citing it and an Americorps volunteer who worked for the agency, in a speech at a Detroit area public school. Thereafter, Bush sent then-Americorps chief, Leslie Lenkowsky, to shower ACCESS with a multi-million dollar Arab Americorps program.

While Americorps volunteers typically help build Habitat for Humanity homes for the poor and help underprivileged kids learn to read, Ismael Ahmed’s Americorps program is political. He sends volunteers to work for the Arab-American Institute, a Saudi-funded lobbying group headed by Democratic advisor James Zogby – all at taxpayer expense.

After 9/11, ACCESS campaigned against universities cooperating with federal agents to find foreign students linked to terrorism. In 2002, ACCESS was raided by federal agents in a Medicaid fraud investigation. A television report and several newspaper articles said ACCESS was involved in helping foreign Arabic women fraudulently obtain Medicaid to have their babies here in the United States.

With delegates like Ismael Ahmed, John Kerry will have a tough time showing us he’s the best guy to fight terror.

What the hell is she doing in Texas?

She made her way from South Africa via Europe via Mexico illegally crossing the Rio Grande into Texas!!!!

From Texas, she was trying to make her way to New York when she was snagged at the Airport.

Does Michael Moore know about this? Isn't this the kind of stuff he loves?

Perhaps he could get his camera out and ask Ismael some cutsey little questions to put in his next film, "DNC IQ Zero".

Thanks for the links Defender. I checked out cpusa.org, the communist party USA, link, and followed the clicks to see how much membership would be. It's $12.00/yearly. I would think, if we're all really equal, it's a little capitalistic to ask for money, but I won't debate the issue. On the other hand, without the Rifleman subscription, NRA dues are only $10.00/yearly. I think the capitalistic approach of the CPUSA is pushing me towards the NRA subscription. (:-{)>

Okay since you didnt offer any substance, I'll bite, what are his terrorist credentials?

Are you saying just because the News Organization Al Jezerria mentions this clown on their website that he is a terrorist? How about when they mention Bush or Powell? Does that make them terrorists too?

Does he supports Hamas or one of the Israel hating terrorist organizations? If that is the case then most of Europe is in that camp and that is Israel's problem not ours.

Welcome to FR. Great first post!

I sent the link over to Drudge. Who knows? Drudge is linking to ABC's storty about the bigtime dem donor who is also mob connected. Maybe this could be tied into it.

[Colonel_Flagg]

But, while Ahmed did serve in the U.S. Army, any time he spent in Vietnam was as a tourist – unlike his party’s likely Presidential nominee.

This is true. His party's likely Presidential nominee served as either a stone liar or a war criminal, depending on which of his own statements you choose to believe or disbelieve.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

My 87-year old mother is staunchly anti-abortion. Has been forever. She votes straight-ticket Democrat and has since she started voting during the Great Depression. She has made more pro-abortion votes than she has any concept of (even though we tell her over and over, she still doesn't quite accept it).

To her the RATS are "for the little guy" even though the RATS are fat cat billionaires like Gates, Soros, Roberts...and yes, Kerry.

Many, maybe even most, people vote emotionally. And there is no blindness like the blindness caused by emotions.

[BradJ]

Later in the article it hints that Bush us connected as well. I'd wait for more sources, before taking this seriously. Al Jazeera is far from what I call "credible".

[OldFriend]

Her heiny tried to hide donations from American Muslim Council by listing it as American Museum Council.

You can be sure that those that wish us harm are well entrenched in the dem party.

There is no doubt that Corzine's attempt to restrict the use of the Patriot Act is due to the huge islamic fundamentalist population in NJ.....particularly, Paterson area.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Debbie Schlussel is very good. She goes on Howard Stern's show alot.

Being on Stern's show isn't exactly a ringing endorsement. You do know that Stern is urging his knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing listeners to vote for Kerry, right?

[Michael.SF.]

The democratic party continues to rely on keeping the truth away from most voters, knowing full well that information such as this does not play well in Peoria.

[UCANSEE2]

Stern is backing Kerry for the same reason most of the Hollywood types (film/tv/radio personalities backed by organized crime). They make money if they can sell their 'liberal' and nasty filth. Bush is conservative and thinks things like that have their place.

Al Jazeera is boasting of his ties. And he has provided monetary and material support for persons and organizations on the US DOS terrorist list. I believe that speaks for itself.

((Does he supports Hamas ....that is Israel's problem not ours.

If they are raising money here in order to kill people there, it is our problem here.

Remember: First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out — because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the communists
and I did not speak out — because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out — because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me —
and by then there was no one left to speak out for me.

The article, available by clicking the link says that. Al Jazeera is bragging to it's Arab clientle that Ismael is a delegate and has high ties to the DNC. I didn't paste a picture of Hillary listening in silence as Suah Arafat tells her that the Israelis poison the water and the air in the territories. I posted a story about an unapologetic terrorist supporter that's a delegate to the DNC, followed by astatement "know thine enemies" which ranting are you referring to? I apologize for confusing you with the facts. Are you upset because maybe, some of your friends in Tampa have been Arrested? That's 7 less people to vote for the Ddemocrats, especially in Florida. Maybe you should start a conspiracy thread. "Moslem terror suspects arrested to get them off the voting roles" Terrorist don't vote Republican.
