Pamela Geller, WND: Illinois governor’s Hamas council

20

Is Governor Quinn clueless or complicit? And what difference does it make? The damage is serious, whatever this useful idiot's intent. Gov. Quinn is aiding and abetting the destructive and subversive agenda of an avowed enemy of America and freedom. Why would a Governor invite stealth jihadists with ties to the genocidal Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood to advise on public education and public safety? You can't make this stuff up.

Illinois governor's Hamas council WND, Pamela Geller

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn last week invited Muslims with links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood to join a Muslim American Advisory Council, which, according to a press release from the governor's office, "will help ensure Muslim American participation in state government."

Story continues below advertisement

Ten years after 9/11, the threat of jihad is … worse. Ten years after the bloodiest, most brutal attack ever on American soil, the threat is the same, the ideology is the same; only now we are told that we must be tolerant of this racist, genocidal ideology, lest we be accused of "Islamophobia." And that tolerance extends even to opening the doors of the Illinois state government to a jihad terrorist group (Hamas) and a group that is dedicated in its own words to "eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house."

Gov. Quinn explained: "Illinois is a diverse state, which is one of our greatest strengths. There are more than 400,000 Muslims and 300 mosques within our borders, representing various racial and ethnic sects of Islam. I want to make sure that everyone has an opportunity for input in how we address issues such as education, public safety and jobs, because the strategies may need to differ based on the history, culture and needs of different communities."

Among the Muslims Quinn appointed as members of his Muslim American Advisory Council is Safaa Zarzour, secretary general of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). ISNA is Muslim Brotherhood front, having admitted ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. ISNA was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror-funding case. The Holy Land Foundation was once the largest Islamic charity in the United States and was shut down for funding the jihad terror group Hamas.

Also serving on Quinn's Muslim American Advisory Council is Ahmed Rehab, executive director of the Chicago chapter of the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR, of course, was also named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial. CAIR has had several of its officials convicted of terror activity and has opposed every anti-terror measure devised since 9/11. CAIR was formed from the Islamic Association for Palestine, another Muslim Brotherhood group with ties to Hamas.

Omar Ahmad, the cofounder and longtime board chairman of the nation's leading "Muslim civil rights group" (CAIR), also once let the mask slip in a speech he gave to a Muslim audience in California in 1998. Ahmad said, "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Quran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth."

CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper expressed the same desire in a 1993 interview: "I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future."

For his part, Ahmed Rehab said Thursday that Americans need to "move on" from the 9/11 attacks.

Oh yes, America, get over it. Get over your war dead. Do not mourn, America; instead, respect the ideology that is working on "eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within." And don't fight back America; submit.

These were the best Muslims Quinn could find for his Muslim American Advisory Council? What about all the moderates we keep hearing about? Why would a Muslim council of Muslim Brotherhood-tied operatives be established to weigh in on education? In what capacity will they be driving the dialogue to impressionable young American minds? And worse yet, public safety. In what capacity would stealth jihadist forces serve the safety of the infidel American public?

What is the mission by objective of this Muslim Brotherhood Council to the governor?

I would think that Muslims in America would march through the streets of American towns and cities, denouncing jihad and demanding that violent passages commanding ethnic cleansing, oppression, supremacism, spreading Islam by the sword, Jew hatred, genocide, etc., be expunged from the Quran in order to begin to dismantle the homicidal creed that inspires daily attacks and mass slaughter throughout the world.

Illinois is home to the baha’i which stress the need for Christians to accept mohammad as an equal manifestation of allah.. yes allah.. Baha’u’llah, the profit of the baha’i, did not believe in factual Judeo-Christian history..
All of this multiculti crap comes out of the National Spiritual Assembly in Willamette which is owned by the Universal House of Justice..

We still have a long ways to go in trying to get Americans and especially those in important political positions on what the true aspiration of fundamental Muslims is all about.
The masters of taquiyya and kitman slowly charm and work their way into America’s political,legal, and educational structure of America every where they possibly can. The slime merchants are at work in the nations Capital,in our cities,states and universities all across the nation, they are patient but they are persistent. Still we are lead by people who refuse to take the time to understand what dawa and sharia is all about. WE have a leftard president whose first speech in office was delivered to Cairo were insulted America and exulted the Muslim world all in one speech. The line by Obama that “America is not a Christian Nation and that Muslims have always contributed to building America” still angers me and is of course a “profound lie”. But then this president has been about untruths during his entire presidency.

Pamela asks:”Is Governor Quinn clueless or complicit?
“YES! A RESOUNDING Y-E-S!
Pamela states:”The damage is serious, whatever this useful idiot’s intent. Gov. Quinn is aiding and abetting the destructive and subversive agenda of an avowed enemy of America and freedom.
COMPLETELY TRUE! Including the reference to Quinn as an IDIOT.
This Chicagoan is here to tell you that Patrick Quinn is all that and more.
Quinn has been a Left-Wing gadfly in Illinois politics since the 1970’s.
He’s LOST more elections than he’s won(but he did win three offices), before being put in the Governor’s Mansion,since the 1970’s:
” Cook County Board of Tax Review Commissioner”(and as such had a terrible record of NOT lowering Real Estate Taxes when reduction was JUSTIFIED legally, likely because of his LOVE of TAXATION)).
“Illinois State Treasurer” which he won on a fluke and then yrs later , Quinn upset Blago’s Hand-Picked running mate in the 2002 Illinois Democratic Primary for Lt. Governor,another fluke,ran as a ticket with Blago in the General Election and in 2006 Blago did not oppose his renomination(probably thinking that Quinn was Anti-Impeachment Insurance which he wasn’t) and when the Illinois Legislature Impeached Blago,Quinn became Governor.
He was Elected in 2010 in his own right, as the Illinois Democratic Party was NOT going to oppose a Democratic Governor.
Quinn is a LEFTY’S LEFTY.
And a HYPOCRITE.
He’s portrayed himself as the “Veterans’ Friend”,attends funerals of Illinois Servicemen & women KILLED in Iraq & Afghanistan and yet with this latest move re: Muslims and the “Muslim Brotherhood” PROVES he is NOT on the Armed Forces’ nor America’s side.
And one more point re: my POS Governor:
He is a longtime resident of LEFTY STRONGHOLD Oak Park,Il,a West Suburb bordering Chicago’s West Side and what we call “Hyde Park West”.

Muslims only represent about 1% of the U.S. population yet they are supported by a list of acronym organizations that seems to grow longer by the day. Each and every one of these alphabet soup organizations share one trait, in-your-face arrogance. Other ethnic/religious groups who have settled on these shores have maybe one or two social organizations along with a function hall that they routinely rent out to any and all who might want to use it. The number of Muslim organizations is hugely disproportionate to the size of the Muslim population. This is just one more sign of the “Islamization of America.”

“I want to make sure that everyone has an opportunity for input in how we address issues such as education…”
Freakin’ suicidal! Fire this moron ASAP! The Muslims need no encouragement to put their ideas forward for education, they’ll push them anyway with a mixture of intimidation and victimhood, like this…
“DEMANDS for a ban on “un-Islamic” activities in schools will be set out by the Muslim Council of Britain today. Targets include playground games, swimming lessons, school plays, parents’ evenings and even vaccinations.
And the calls for all children to be taught in Taliban-style conditions will be launched with the help of a senior Government education adviser. Professor Tim Brighouse, chief adviser to London schools, was due to attend the event at the capital’s biggest mosque. His presence there was seen as “deeply worrying”, and a sign that the report was backed by the Government. Tory MP Greg Hands said: “The MCB needs to realise it has to move closer to the rest of the community, not away from it. “The presence of Tim Brighouse implies Government backing of this report. This is very worrying.” Terry Sanderson of the National Secular Society said the report was a “recipe for disaster”. http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/01/islamic-infiltration-and-subversion-of.html

This is what happens when you have the backing from oil rich Saudi Arabia. They are the ones who fund both the stealth jihad and the terror jihad world wide.

Bet anyone Quinn and Durbin both get political contribution from lots of the Muslim Brotherhood groups. These groups themselves are funded by the Saudis. Follow the money to see who is causing all the problems.

In America, Democratic Party and the Democrats recognize that Muslims are constantly growing as percentage of total population and Muslim-votes are necessary for the Democratic Party to survive any political backlash.
So, Democrats are willing to sacrifice traditional American identity as a nation of Christians to a nation of Islam.
Sounds a familiar tactic to me as President Ronald Wilson Reagan gave mass amnesty to Hispanics in the hope that Republican Party and the Republicans would survive any political backlash, since out of sheer gratefulness Hispanics will vote for Republican Party all the time.
However, as we can see in Americans’ voting patterns, other than Black Americans who vote consistently over 80% of the time for Democrats, Hispanics have not followed Ronald Reagan’s futuristic plan.
“Hispanic” is a term coined by President Richard Milhous Nixon as President Nixon wanted to counter-balance Black-American voters by creating a different as well as an artificial ethnic group.
If we look back at history, Dick Nixon’s futuristic plan did not bring continuous help to Republican candidates seeking public offices.
In our modern time, Democrats know that Muslim votes will be crucial to win elections in America as heavy Muslim immigration continues every year to America.
What Democrats do not seem to know is: When today’s less than 5 million Muslims in America become 25 million in the next 25 years or so, Muslims in America will form their own Islamic Party in America, which will not allow either Republican Party or Democratic Party to form a government without a coalition.
The way American government is going now, if it does not drastically reverse its Muslim immigration policy, in 100 years America will become a full-fledged Islamic nation with all Islamic symbols one can just imagine.

Exactly the same thing has happened in Britain (for ‘Labour’, read ‘Democrats’)
“When the Labour control freaks came to power twelve years ago they had a secret agenda to destroy British identity and national pride, with Englishness as public enemy number one.
At the time of their election victory, anyone who suggested that Labour were setting out on a deliberate campaign of nation-wrecking would have been regarded as a loony conspiracy theorist. But recently overwhelming evidence has emerged showing that this was their intention all along.
The first revelation of their hidden agenda came from Andrew Neather, a former government adviser
“The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and “rub the Right’s nose in diversity”, according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.
He said Labour’s relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to “open up the UK to mass migration” but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its core working class vote… More at http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/02/labour-have-deliberately-destroyed.html

It’s all about money. If we looked into campaign contributions to politicians who support the muslim ajenda you will see big contributions from arab organizations. This includes the Illinois governor and especially New York mayor bloomburg who not only has received political contributions from arabs, he is in bed with them. So whenever you see a politician supporting these parasites, look real close and you will see dollar signs in his eyes. Self serving is the only thing politicians are interested in. Elected positions are just a get rich quick scheme…..
