IMAM: I STUMPED FOR BUSH

An imam under fire for saying that "the greatest terrorists in the world occupy the White House" made a surprising admission yesterday - he campaigned for President Bush in the last election.

Imam Umar Abdul-Jalil (right, yesterday), who was suspended Thursday as head chaplain of the city's jails for that and other inflammatory remarks, made the disclosure at a news conference held to defend him.

A supporter, the Rev. Lonnie McLeod of the Church of High Hope in East Harlem, said that Abdul-Jalil was "as true an American as you would ever find" and would "lay his life down for his country."

McLeod concluded his comments by saying that he had voted for Bush.

Then Abdul-Jalil stepped up to the microphone and went one further.

"I campaigned for George Bush," he said.

The imam would not say if he had become disillusioned with the president or discuss his controversial remarks.

Mayor Bloomberg said he would probably make a decision about axing Abdul-Jalil later this week.

The imam's lawyer, civil-rights activist Norman Siegel, said city workers can be fired only if they reveal city secrets or make comments on city time.

...and Osama Bin Laden stumped for Kerry...

[Kimmers]

Must be some kind of mutual admiration society because Kerry and the rest of the herd continue to stump for Bin Laden

There's nothing very 'surprising' about it... Isn't it SOP for Islamists to show one face when they are trying to make the enemy (us) believe that they are not a threat, and another, more sinister and authentic face when they think that they are talking to "their own"?

So the head chaplain for New York City jails is a muslim immam who is about to get fired for saying the White House is filled with terrorists. Unreal.

[Gondring]

"I campaigned for George Bush," he said.

...before I campaigned against him.

[KJC1]

Bullsh*t!

What a giant load.

[Farmer Dean]

I hope the reporters had their hip waders on,sounds like it was getting pretty deep in there.

[Frank_Discussion]

Actually, the way I've been feeling about the media lately, I'm hoping they brought spoons.

[rdcorso]

The muslum lobby uses political connections just like other lobby groups use them.They used those connections to get radical imams to preach in our prisons and our military.This guy probably hated Bush but he was told to support him publicly.

It is required when dealing with unbelievers, infidels, and fellow Muslims.

And so much has changed since November, 2004, hasn't it, Imam?

Something tells me Imam Umar Abdul-Jalil is fulla bull.

What possibly could have Bush have done in the 15 months after the 2004 election to piss this guy off that he hadn't been doing before the election?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Muslims = liars.
