The GOP had better clean up its act on these issues. America has been blindsided by the betrayal of American law and the Constitution by members of our own party who have been seduced by the big money, the dirty money of Muslim Brotherhood-tied operatives like Grover Norquist. Up until recently they could get away with this, because America was clueless or not paying attention. No longer. We expect this kind of sellout, subversion and destruction from the left; we will not tolerate it in the pro-American, pro-freedom GOP. It's over, boys.
The Virginia Anti-Shariah Task Force (VAST) chairman and SIOA board member James Lafferty writes of a critical race in the House of Delegates in Virginia:
"Today we are releasing the background paper on Virginia House of Delegates 87th District candidate David Ramadan. He is a Republican and claims to be a "conservative."
Story continues below advertisementA quick internet search on any of the names listed in this paper will provide even more information about the radical views of Ramadan and his associates.
The photos of Ramadan and various prominent (and gullible) political leaders here in Virginia (see his campaign website) and in Washington should embarass the GOP. Each of these politicians got a check from Ramadan which bought Ramadan got a photo with them. They should give the money back and ask him not to display their photos."
“Conservative” David Ramadan Favors Radical Ground Zero Mosque;
Boasts About “Strategic Alliance” with Qaddafi’s Washington Lobbyist
In spite of claims that he is a conservative Republican, David Ramadan, a candidate for the House of Delegates in Virginia, favors the radical Ground Zero mega-mosque in New York and has close ties with Libya’s Washington lobbying firm.
Members of the Virginia Anti-Shariah Task Force (VAST), Stop the Islamization of America (SIOA), Spirit USA and the Northern Virginia Tea Party and relatives of victims killed in the 9/11 attacks picketed his recent campaign kick-off in Leesburg.
Ramadan favors the mosque on some occasions but then complains about “hateful and false political attacks” when his original statement is quoted.
Let’s look at the public record.
2-2-2
“That being said, it perplexes us as to why some vocal members of our party have chosen to oppose the construction of a cultural and religious center on private grounds. Not only does the irst Amendment to our Constitution protect the right of these private citizens to worship freely, it also prevents Congress from making any law respecting an establishment of religion. Our party and the leaders in our party should not be engaged in judgment issues of the location of a cultural center and a house of worship in direct contravention of the First Amendment.” – from a letter dated August 17, 2010 to Republicans and signed by Ramadan, Randa Fahmy Hudome (more about her to follow), Suhail Khan and others. – New York Times ( August 17, 2010) (http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/17/muslim-and-arab-repu…)
"People like myself… who are hardcore Republicans and have been activists for years, with undoubted credentials on the Republican side, are really outraged by what is going on," said David Ramadan, a prominent Muslim-American conservative operative and a member of the Virginia delegation to the Republican National Convention. "We believe first and foremost in the Constitution. This is not a matter of this mosque or that mosque. This is not a New York mosque issue. It is a Constitutional issue…. This is absolutely unacceptable."—Huffington Post (August 16, 2010) (http://huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/16/gops-ground-zero-mosque-r_n_683509.html)
VAST checked with the Huffington Post and the New York Times. Both organizations said they had not received any complaint from Mr. Ramadan about the accuracy of their stories.
But on the night of his candidacy announcement, Ramadan lashed out at VAST members who simply quoted these public statements on that issue, charging them with “hateful and false political attacks.”
3-3-3
In a flyer “The Facts About David Ramadan” (Paid for and Authorized by David Ramadan for House of Delegates) handed out at the Loudon County Republican Committee, it is a very different story.
“Claim: David Ramadan is a proponent of the mosque to be built on Ground Zero in New York City.
“FACT: False. David Ramadan is not a proponent and has never advocated the building of the mosque in New York.”
So Ramadan says one thing to the Huffington Post and Islamist activists and the complete opposite when he is trying to get votes in Virginia.
“One woman here tonight lost her daughter in the 9/11 attack,” VAST Chairman James Lafferty said in remarks that night to the Loudon County Republican Committee. “The families of people who died on 9/11 need no condescending lectures from Mr. Ramadan on the Constitution. His talk pales when compared to their sacrifice.”
“Strategic Alliance” with Qadaffi’s Lobbyist
Somehow it got overlooked when the campaign was doing his webpage but Ramadan boasts on his company webpage (www.ramainternational.com) about his “Strategic Alliance” with Fahmy Hudome International, Washington, DC.
Bloomberg Businessweek (http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_43/b4006070.htm) published an account of the Libyan government’s attempt to “legitimize itself” after its downing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Libya began shopping for a Washington lobbyist.
4-4-4
“One of the first hired was Fahmy Hudome International, founded by Randa Fahmy Hudome, a well-connected Arab American Republican and a former Associate Deputy Secretary of Energy in the second Bush Administration. Fhamy Hudome says she played a role in efforts to remove Libya from the U.S. terrorist list. Justice Dept. records show that in the past year she has also met on Libya’s behalf with staff on the Senate Foreign Relations and House International Relations committees.” (Bloomberg Businessweek, October 23, 2006)

“The GOP had better clean up its act on these issues.”
Not just on these issues. The GOP is infested with progressives and libturdism.

Islam is NOT a first amendment issue. It is an article 6 issue which states that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Islam aims to overturn our Constitution. That is sedition.
Our Founding Fathers never dreamed we would allow Islamic immigration. They even said our Constitution would only work for religious and moral people. It doesn’t work for 7th century barbarian sand rats.

Somehow I don’t see the GZM ever being the poster child for the First Amendment. What a cretin to think that it might.

I sent this to Mark Levin when this first came out a few weeks ago. I’m going to send this to him again. I’m also going to send it to Ken Cuccinelli the State Attorney in VA. Thanks for posting this Pam. They’re trying to infiltrate the Republican Party.
Just look at this Huntsman character who thinks he can win a GOP nomination. He’s an Obama hack. Worked for Obama, praised Obama. He’s a fraud, just like Obama. People are watching them. Since what used to be the news is no longer the news but propaganda, including FIX News, Americans are relying on citizen journalists like you Pam. God Bless You.

No avowed muslim is a trustworthy candidate for office in this country. To declare oneself a practicing muslim is to declare primary loyalty and fealty to Islamic Sharia Law. Ramadan has the nerve to try to use our First Amendment against us! It is extremely important that the 2012 campaign reinforce our commitment to separation of church and state and respect for the freedom of conscience of all American citizens. Double that when it comes to Islam, which doesn’t even recognize a state other than Sharia.

Auntie: How true your post is. These people are infesting our Congress(Ellison comes to mind)
and infiltrating so they can ‘change OUR system of law/Constitution’. We need to Weed them out,
and ANY GOP/Rino’s that go along with their getting into our Congress, etc. VOTE THAT MEMBER OUT
This is like a “Muslim/Islamic Stealth Plan”. Again, our thanks to Pam for keeping the info flowing for us. (Robert Spencer over at JihadWatch also) Love you

Sometimes people assume too much when writing articles. This district in question is Norfolk, VA. A lot of liberals down there and the current delegate is a Dem. I think the real problem there is a republican vacuum.
We used to mainly have to worry about Northern VA around the Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax area (who keeps re-electing Moran) but the tide water area of Hampton/Norfolk/Virginia Beach has grown a lot and is heavily democratic.
Whatever GOP is down there does need to do some work, this is only one of their problems.

your right seems a muslim is trying to use 1st amendment against us. BUT he is right! nothing in the constitution about roadblocks to this mosque, why was thing approved in record time.
im more concerned about the “Boasts About “Strategic Alliance” with Qaddafi’s Washington Lobbyist”
shows his true colors
