Group's ‘mainstream’ Islamist convention last weekend featured hate speech and Hezbollah Defense
A top aide to President Barack Obama provided a keynote address at last weekend's 46th Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) national convention, a gathering that attracted thousands of people and also featured anti-Semitic, homophobic rhetoric and defense of the terrorist group Hezbollah.
In her remarks, Senior Advisor for Public Engagement and International Affairs Valerie Jarrett noted she was the first White House official to address ISNA. She spoke in general terms about interfaith dialogue and cooperation. She praised her hosts for "the diversity of American organizations, and ideas that are represented and will be debated" at the convention.
And she openly invited ISNA President Ingrid Mattson to work on the White House Council on Women and Girls that Jarrett leads.

None dare call it treason.
But even if it isn’t, it’s awfully close.
An interesting read about the experiences of one American patriot who openly attended this subversive gathering:

~~Jarrett, consorting with jihad-supporting group .. PING!
~~~~~
“Jarrett was less specific, saying:
“Lasting peace will require a concerted effort on behalf of the Palestinians as well to end incitement and increase security and by Israel’s Arab neighbors to take steps towards normalizing [relations with] Israel.”
That’s a significant shift since ISNA is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas-support conspiracy and maintains significant leadership ties to its foundation 28 years ago by members of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.
A more pointed statement also would have stood as a powerful retort to extremist sentiments offered in other segments of the conference.
While many panels featured criticism of U.S. policy and law enforcement, one stood out for its hate-filled rhetoric, and ISNA officials should have seen it coming a mile away.
During a “meet the authors” session, Imam Warith Deen Umar, former head of the New York state prison chaplain program managed to:
* Argue that key Obama aides are “Israeli,” proving Jews “have control of the world.”
* Malign the motives of Jews active in the Civil Rights movement.
* Portray the Holocaust as punishment of Jews for being “serially disobedient to Allah.”
* Insinuate that Hurricane Katrina was a result of tolerance for homosexuality.
Umar’s radicalism is no secret. He previously hailed the 9/11 hijackers as martyrs who were secretly admired by Muslims. He has called for violent jihad. In a January 2004 speech, he urged people:
“Rise up and fight. And fight them until turmoil is no more and strike terror into their hearts.” You think there is no terror in Quran? It’s called [word unclear] read it in the 56th Surah of the Quran. There’s no lack of translation, there’s no mistranslation There’s not one Sheikh says one thing, no, it’s very clear. ‘When you fight, you strike terror into the heart of the disbeliever.’”

Many thanks for the post. Emerson is one of the few true experts on domestic Islamic terrorist. This is why he is banned from public television.

I don’t know if you’ve seen this yet
“And she openly invited ISNA President Ingrid Mattson to work on the White House Council on Women and Girls that Jarrett leads.”
The “Women and Girls” Czar.
Dr. Ingrid Mattson is Director of Islamic Chaplaincy and a professor at the Macdonald Center for Islamic Studies and Christian-Muslim Relations at Hartford Seminary in Hartford, CT.
Dr. Mattson earned her Ph.D. in Islamic Studies from the University of Chicago in 1999.
Her research is focused on Islamic law and society; among her articles are studies on slavery, poverty, and Islamic legal theory. Dr. Mattson was born in Canada, where she studied philosophy at the University of Waterloo, Ontario (B.A. ’87).
From 1987-88, she lived in Pakistan, where she worked with Afghan refugee women. In 2001 she was elected Vice-President of ISNA; in 2006 she was elected President of the organization.
So what republican is going to be brave enough to call for impeachment hearings on Obama involving the fired IG Walpin-for starters?
Is this the same group that Rick Warren spoke at last week?
Sorry, “republican” and “brave” cannot be used in the same sentence.
Is Valerie Jarrett related to Gregg Jarrett of Fox News?
“Insinuate that Hurricane Katrina was a result of tolerance for homosexuality.”
Can’t imagine that this is going to go over well in the leftist/liberal circles....lol
Is it too early to fire up the margarita machine and pop some corn for the DU meltdown? LOL
