Philadelphia news outlets are heralded the appointment of Salima Suswell, “first Muslim woman to serve on the Pennsylvania Commission for Women.” All well and good. But Salima Suswell also serves as an executive committee member for terror-tied Council of American Islamic Relations, unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorist funding trial in our nation’s history. CAIR is a Hamas group whose objective is a kind of “grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” “[W]e must possess a mastery of the art of ‘coalitions’, the art of ‘absorption’ and the principles of ‘cooperation.’”
Watch her interview with the Philadelphia Tribune.Her agenda is imposing Islam on the secular marketplace, the schools and the government. She gloats over the introduction of Eid school holidays. But as I have often said, accommodation to Muslim demands gives way to more demands. Now Salima Suswell says that the government needs to ‘respect’ the Islamic holidays, making Eid a statewide holiday. Inshallah.

The governor’s office appointed the first Muslim woman to serve on the Pennsylvania Commission for Women last month.
After being appointed on Oct. 18, Salima Suswell said she realized immediately that she was the first Muslim out of about 30 members over the commission’s two-year existence.
“I’m grateful. I feel like it’s a great time to have a Muslim woman, particularly an African-American Muslim woman, in a leadership role that affects change for women and girls in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” said Suswell, the CEO of Evolve Solutions.
“I think that through my role with the [commission], people will take notice — ‘Wow, here it is a young African-American woman who is Muslim, who wears a hijab, that is getting things done.’ Because of that, I find myself sort of pushing myself to do more. I feel like it’s a responsibility for myself to be present, to be at the table when decisions are being made that affect my community,” she added.
Even as a minority, however, Suswell says her service will not be devoted solely to people who look like her, but will be oriented toward women in general but with a specific interest.
“Muslims are women and girls. We have the same needs as all women and girls, so definitely I maintain a certain perspective based upon the unique needs of the Muslim community. However, I’m here at service to the commonwealth for all women and girls,” she said.
“I have an interest in serving the African-American girls and young women and girls that are a product of DHS [Department of Human Services]. Based upon my research, a lot of the women in prisons — they have come through the foster care system. It’s a lot of things that have happened to girls that came through the foster care system and I want to pay special attention to that group. I want to identify the issues and also develop solutions.”
The commission meets quarterly and, according to its statement of purpose, is “responsible for advising the governor on policies and legislation that impact women; supporting economic and civic opportunities for women; encouraging mentoring programs for girls and young women; identifying programs and opportunities for the benefit and advancement of women; and serving as a resource center for Pennsylvania women.”
Prior to her appointment, Suswell consulted with the governor’s office on Muslim affairs and was an adviser to the planning team for the Eid-al-Adha dinner at the governor’s mansion for the past two years.
“Part of our mission is to represent the diverse needs and interests of women all across the commonwealth,” said Megan Healey, executive director of the commission. “As a Muslim woman with strong ties in her community, Salima will bring a welcome perspective that will further serve Pennsylvania’s women and girls.”
Throughout her career, Suswell has advocated for the Muslim community on a grass-roots level and in political circles.
She, along with other Muslim leaders and elected officials, organized an effort that resulted in Mayor Jim Kenney and the School District of Philadelphia recognizing the Eid holy days on the public school calendar, closing schools for all staff and students, and City Council adopting a 2016 resolution to recognize the holy days as official holidays.
Suswell also serves as an executive committee member for the Council of American Islamic Relations-PA, which advocates against discrimination and hate toward Muslims. In 2016, she served as the Democratic National Convention’s chair of the Muslim-American Host Committee, coordinating events for Muslims from across the country.
Nazi-like propaganda for terror group CAIR.
“If I were to describe Salima with one word, it would be balance — the balance of being a mother, being a Muslim, being a wife, being a professional, being a leader — and making it look easy. I’m impressed with that ability to juggle priorities and still get stuff done,” said City Councilman Curtis Jones.
Jones worked with Suswell on the Eid holiday resolution, and she works as a consultant for his office on special projects and Muslim community affairs.
“She deals with a bunch of males, which ain’t easy, strong-willed alpha males, and she will diplomatically navigate all of us to keep us focused,” Jones said. “That is not easy, to keep our eyes on the prize.”
Suswell’s work for the Commission for Women is volunteer. She does not think of herself as a pioneer, but is considering and preparing for the next mission.
“I’m still young and I’ve done a lot in my years but I have so much more I am planning to do,” she said. “I am excited about what I am going to do.”
I bet.

Women who believe little girls should be trained to be second class citizens and that citizens should be forced to dress a certain way because of their gender have no place in American government. This witch should move to Iran or SA where Eid is respected by other followers of the pedophile. We are sick and tired of their refusal to assimilate to our culture.

Every ramadan it should be 24 hour a day party time everywhere. If muslims wish to abstain, that is fine, but non muslims have their rights.

So, let’s set up one in a place the muslims cannot shut down, make it loud enough and with mouth-watering food scents wafting their way! I know, I’m a heretic. So what?

Jiggs McDonald, NHL Hall of Fame broadcaster speaking in Ontario, says:
“I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against another mosque being built in Toronto. I think it should be the goal of every Canadian to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs.
Thus the mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.”
“That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque; thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque.
We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, “The Turban Cowboy,” and the other, a topless bar, would be called “You Mecca Me Hot.”
“Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called “Iraq of Ribs.”
“Across the street there could be a lingerie store called “Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret,” with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods.”, and on the other side a liquor store called “Morehammered.”
“All of this would encourage Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us.” Yes we should promote tolerance especially during ramadan by allowing muslims to tolerate non muslims.

Yes, we should run in the streets, eating bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches, drinking mimosas, and wearing bikinis!

Like the qur’an says, “to each their own religion”. So to each their own way of celebrating ramadan or lack thereof.

Brood Sows like Linda Sarslut and Salima are doing a great job of turning feminism into a sex slavery movement.

No woman worthy of being female will have anything to do with this open attempt to shove islam down their throats. The feminist movement is garbage, its collecting of more trash is making it less relevant. Once government support is dropped for islam and these women have to pay for their programs, they will disparate in one flush.

“Worthy” being the operative word and no black female in Philadelphia who converts to islam is worthy. Islam is the Ellis Island for the unworthy.

Absolutely true. Black American women haven’t felt the full horror of islam as their counterparts in muslim countries suffer. They are being deliberately misled to increase their conversions. But when the SHTF, they will surely regret their decision.

The problem is illiteracy in the black community, despite allegedly being sent to school, there are too many blacks that are incapable of reading, less capable of rational thought and coming to logical conclusions. Read the points of shariah that have been posted, a women would have to be beaten senseless to accept a life of sharia based of that brief excerpt alone.

You’re right. Although they didn’t read the “points of shariah” and don’t know what they’re up against, until they are “beaten senseless” for any and all reasons.

One of the problems third world immigrants face in civilized countries, is that might is not always right, men do not have to prove they are the biggest beasts any where any more. Unfortunately a lot of immigrants come from countries where intelligence is neither valued or education pursued. If they are muslims, they have an arrogant ignorance that is beaten into them from birth, they really cannot be civilized.

“Even as a minority, however, Suswell says her service will not be devoted solely to people who look like her, but will be oriented toward women in general but with a specific interest.”
Gee, if that were a white male just appointed to that position, and he made statements that he was going to devote his time to helping underprivileged white males, the riots would already be underway in the streets. CNN would have news crews stationed outside his house to hound him day and night about his “racism” and “mysogyny.” But, because a black woman says it, she gets a free pass. Wow.

Muslim outreach to blacks is a serious threat to the country. Seen a lot of it in Oakland, for example, with the Black Muslims.

Yes…although, ironically, the early Muslims viewed Africans as inferior to them, and enslaved many after conquering most of North Africa and purging it of Christianity:

Muslims invaded African countries, killing women and children, torturing their men, burning their homes, and stealing their land. Yet dumb blacks in America convert to islam! It’s their hate of everything that isn’t black that binds them.

‘Maintains a certain perspective on the unique needs of the Muslim community’? Every group IS important and has unique needs. It is only that other groups never stood up for their needs. When was it that Catholic or Christian traditions were respected or considered by the public schools? How about the Hindus, the Jewish, the Wiccans, the Buddhists, and so on? When have they been heard from or asked for anything? Are their needs not worthy of consideration? The west has been brainwashed on many ideas. The west is now awash with the addle brained, they who will not or cannot extrapolate into the future, or who fail to understand the normal sequence of present actions and ideas. I have read where certain schools gave up their Thanksgiving celebration and lunch meal so as to not appear exclusive. Do any of you understand what such thinking is and what it leads to? Does it need to be spelled out?

There are questions that no one answers, no one asks. In fact, I wonder if such questions are even contemplated. Years ago, I read a book, “Not Without My Daughter.” The brother in law of the woman who went to Iran, I think it was in that ME country, well anyway, he became enraged and incensed because a couple wisps of hair were showing beneath the head scarf of the American woman who had been brought to that country by her doctor husband. He felt it was a terrible insult to their God. One question is this, this woman council member, I see some of her hair, is that allowed? Is she from a different sect? I have also read that women should be little seen, and certainly not have contact with men outside their family. I read where in SA they kept the women journalists separated by a screen from the men, and that it could be considered wrong to even hear a woman’s voice. What does this lady say to that? Is that true? Are there different sects? Does she have any idea what is going on in places like Turkey? Didn’t 200 plus police disappear there last year during the coup? I read brief summaries of what happened to them, but don’t know if they are true. I believe I also read that adults in some parts of Indonesia are publically whipped till they pass out from the pain, men and women, for “crimes” such as holding hands in public, or for supposed adultery. What are her thoughts concerning those matters.

“I’m still young and I’ve done a lot in my years but I have so
much more I am planning to do,” she said. “I am excited about what I am
going to do.” Next step: Killing all non-Muslims and those that are not killed she will force them to tow the line — Accept Islam or die.
