When I see a Hamas terrorist supporter in our Government, I get worried. Right now anti-Semiticism is running rampant in our country and doesn't need anymore help.
Nihad Awad was born in Amman New Camp, a Palestinian refugee camp in Amman, Jordan. He studied at Second Amman Preparatory School for Boys, located at the camp and belongs to UNRWA, and at Salaheddine High School in Achrafieh in Jordan. He works for CAIR, Council on American Islamic Relations. After studying civil engineering at the University of Minnesota in the 1990s, he worked at the University of Minnesota Medical Center. This is where he met Ilhan Omar, who's been overtly anti-Semitic ever since she got in office.
After the Gulf War, Awad was Public Relations Director for the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP)". What do you think a group for Palestine would be aiming for? Since 1967 when they lost the war with Israel though they had every Muslim state around on their side, they lost, and so they attended a meeting in Khartoum, Africa where they swore to say NO to whatever was offered to them in the name of PEACE, unless they were given all of Israel. That's their goal.
What is CAIR? In June 1994, IAP President Omar Ahmad and others founded the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and Awad was hired as the Executive Director. In a March 1994 speech at Barry University, future CAIR Executive Director Awad said in response to an audience question about the various humanitarian efforts in the Palestinian Occupied Territories, "I am in support of the Hamas movement more than the PLO... there are some [Hamas] radicals, we are not interested in those people." The statement was made before Hamas carried out its first suicide bombing and was designated a terrorist organization by the United States government.
"Omar Ahmad was the founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington D.C. -based Muslim civil rights organization. He also worked for the Islamic Association of Palestine, a precursor to CAIR." Muslims attended a meeting in Kartoum, Africa in 1967 swearing their 3 NOs to any proposal about peace with Israel, for their goal is to take all of Israel for their Palestine, not just a piece of it like Judea-Samaria. They want all of Jerusalem.

A few days after the September 11 attacks in 2001, Awad was one of a select group American Muslim leaders invited by the White House to join President Bush in a press conference condemning the attacks and acts of anti-Muslim intolerance that followed.

| Muammar Gaddafi Asked by Awad for a donation flattering him with compliments on how he solves disputes He governed Libya as Revolutionary Chairman of the Libyan Arab Republic from 1969 to 1977, and then as the "Brotherly Leader" of the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya from 1977 to 2011. He was initially ideologically committed to Arab nationalism and Arab socialism but later ruled according to his own Third International Theory. |
In April 2011, Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va. cited a 2009 letter sent from Awad, to Muammar Gaddafi asking Gaddafi for funding for a project called the Muslim Peace Foundation at a U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations sub-committee hearing with Robert Mueller.The letter also said, in part, "I am pleased to send to Your Excellency in my name most solemn assurances of thanks and appreciation for the efforts you exert in the service of Islam, Muslims and all mankind through your initiative to teach Islam, spread the culture of Islam, and solve disputes, for which you are known internationally."
Gaddafi also became a strong supporter of the , which ultimately harmed Libya's relations with Egypt when in 1979 Egypt pursued a As Libya's relations with Egypt worsened, Gaddafi sought closer relations with the Soviet Union. Libya became the first country outside the Soviet bloc to receive the supersonic MiG-25 combat fighters, but Soviet-Libyan relations remained relatively distant. Gaddafi also sought to increase Libyan influence, especially in states with an Islamic population, by calling for the creation of a Saharan Islamic state and supporting anti-government forces in sub-Saharan Africa. From the PLO grew Fatah and Hamas, both terrorists with Hamas the most active and who now rules Gaza while Abbas of Fatah has control over Judea-Samaria in certain areas.
Steven Emerson criticized the funding request, calling it "hypocritical".
What has CAIR done about Muslim relations with Jews in the USA?
Update: 7/28//19 David Duke of KKK's comment: Most recently, Duke endorsed anti-Semitic Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and called Omar the most important person in Congress. What has CAIR done about Muslim relations with Jews in the USA?
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) organizes Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) designed to collect and evaluate statistics of offenses committed in the U.S. For 2014, 1,140 victims of anti-religious hate crimes were listed, of which 56.8% were motivated by offenders' anti-Jewish biases. 15,494 law enforcement agencies contributed to the UCR analysis.
On Saturday, October 27, 2018, an antisemitic shooter murdered 11 Jewish people in an attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania during Shabbat services. It was the deadliest antisemitic act committed in US history.Antisemitic hate crimes in New York City rose sharply in 2018.
NYPD reported a 75% increase in swastika graffiti between 2016 and 2018, with an uptick observed after the Pittsburgh shooting. Out of 189 hate crimes in New York City in 2018, 150 featured swastikas. On February 1 2019 graffiti that read "fucking Jews" was found on the wall of a synagogue in LA.
The Kartoum Conference of 1967 "is famous for containing (in the third paragraph) what became known as the "Three No's": "no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with it..." This has affected Palestinian attitudes towards Jews who have accepted this

from Jack Rosen: The new Resolution on anti-Semitism passed today by the U.S. House of Representatives is a much-needed step, and we are pleased to see that it passed. The text of this Resolution is thorough in addressing the history, range, and insidious nature of anti-Semitism, as well as Islamophobia and other forms of hatred and racism. For these truths to be acknowledged publicly by Congress is necessary and timely.
ReplyDeleteWe are concerned, however, that this action will not be enough to counter the repeated anti-Semitic comments by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and other members of the House of Representatives. When Rep. Omar alleged that AIPAC was buying support for Israel from Congress, a similar resolution was passed. Not only did Rep. Omar proceed to make further problematic statements, but she also went as far as to use that controversy for her own fundraising. Furthermore, the Resolution fails to mention Omar by name. Now that her anti-Semitic statements have become a pattern, Congress should have the courage to call her out clearly.
Moving forward, resolutions are not enough to resist the hatred and anti-Semitism bubbling up across American society and in the highest levels of our government.
