The Obama campaign’s Muslim outreach director participated in a meeting in mid September that was attended by several controversial Muslim activists, NBC News has learned. A 2000 video showing Mahdi Bray, one of the “activists” to whom the Obama camp was outreaching.
“On September 15, newly named Muslim outreach director Minha Husaini spoke to a small group of Muslim leaders and potential Obama supporters at a hotel in Springfield, Virginia, several meeting participants and the campaign said. Two other Obama-affiliated Democratic Party workers joined Husaini and also spoke to the crowd. Some Virginia and Washington, D.C.-based Muslim activists and interested citizens attended, and flyer’s were passed out from “Arab Americans for Obama” stating Sen. Obama’s goals for achieving peace in the Middle East, protecting the civil liberties of Arab Americans and ending the war in Iraq. http://israelinsider.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=2018399%3ABlogPost%3A9933
“One meeting attendee was Mahdi Bray of the Muslim American Society, several of the participants said. The MAS website describes Bray as an imam and “long time civil and human rights activist.” Bray’s critics say he has a history of defending terrorists. They point to a video of Bray at a rally in 2000, for example, in which he can be seen pumping his fist in the air in support of the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah. In a 2004 interview, he called the Israeli assassination of a Hamas spiritual leader an “unlawful, cowardly and dangerous act of state-sponsored terrorism.” Bray did not return a call requesting comment”.
“Also attending the meeting was Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. CAIR is a Muslim-American civil rights group that has, as its website states, “consistently and persistently condemned terrorism and the killing of innocent civilians.” Nonetheless, the group has many critics, especially in law-enforcement circles, and is an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing case. “http://deepbackground.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/09/1525564.aspx
“The Obama campaign would not allow NBC News to interview its Muslim outreach director, Minha Husaini. It issued a statement explaining that she was not a meeting organizer. “Our campaign has an interfaith outreach organization that is equipping people of faith with the tools they need to educate their friends and family members about Senator Obama’s plans to bring the change we need,” the statement said. “This meeting was not organized by the campaign–our outreach staff attends many meetings in the course of each day, and they accepted an invitation from community leaders to attend.”
And people still question whether he is a Christian or Islam? We’d have to ask Jeremiah Wright, his pastor for the last 20 years wouldn’t we now? We can’t ask Muslim outreach director, Minha Husaini as she has been banned from access even for NBC News.
Does McCain have a Muslim coordinator on his campaign staff?
What’s really sad is to hear of Obama’s supporters actually threatening “race riots” in America if Obama isn’t elected. Is this why in part the Army Brigades are active on US Soil in the event of rioting after the election?
It brings me back to the thought that Barack Obama may still be continuing to mislead and deceive the American public about his dual identity, dual citizenship, religious background, and birth records. What other secrets are there that we need to know about before voting?
He was, and possibly still is, a citizen of Indonesia where he attended Muslim schools. And then there are all sorts of blogs that claim his Hawaiian birth certificate reveals the legal name Barry Soetoro and that his original birth certificate with the name Barack Hussein Obama, was sealed.
There are just to many indiscrepencies and we need to again question his character as leader of the free world.
Thank you, this post helped me to understand many important things. Great !
