Islamists making Inroads with DNC

UPDATES BELOW 

Islamists are making inroads to the DNC:

"The executive committee of the Democratic National Committee has elected three Indian Americans to the standing committees at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, convening Aug. 25-28 in Denver, Colo."

The three Indians are Sunita Leeds from a DC-based education organization; Smita Shah, founder and president of Chicago-based engineering and construction management company Spaan Technologies; and Iman Malik Mujahid (aka Abdul Malik Mujahid), founder and president of the Chicago-based Sound Vision Foundation.  Mujahid was named to the credentials committee, which "coordinates the selection of convention delegates and alternates."  The article describes Mujahid as follows:

"Mujahid is a Muslim leader, activist, film producer and non-profit entrepreneur. An imam at three Chicago mosques, he has a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Chicago and is currently president of the Council of the Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago."

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!  Alarms are going off..... "Mujahid", BTW, is Arabic for "one who makes jihad" or "one who fights in a war for Islam."

You can read more about Malik Mujahid here.  He published a book, Commanders of the Muslim Army, about historical Muslim military leaders "who loved death more than life" and who "led the armies of Islam against the Kuffars and nonbelievers".  Mujahid is active with - among other thing - Bosnia and Kosova  organizations.  I'm thinking that someone didn't do their due diligence in looking into Mujahid's background, similar to the Essam Omeish appointment (quickly rescinded) to a Virginia state immigration commission.  Maybe not, though.  Maybe the DNC wants Islamist in their ranks.

UPDATE: Given that Howard Dean spoke at the September 2007 Islamic Society of North America convention (the ISNA is one of several Muslim Brotherhood-front organizations in the US), the DNC clearly does want Islamists actively involved with the Democratic party.

UPDATE2: More on Sound Vision and Malik Mujahid, from Militant Islam Monitor:

"Sound Vision, an affiliate of the the Mosque Foundation in Bridgeview Illinois. The Mosque Foundation has been under law enforcement scrutiny for more then a decade for ties to terrorism and several of their congregants have been arrested . The most recent arrest of a Mosque Foundation member was Mohammed Saleh, who was charged with involvement in funding and recruiting terrorist operatives in Gaza."

".... (Yusuf) Islam's (formerly Cat Stevens) close friend Abdul Malik Muhajid, the director of Sound Vision, is listed as the National Coordinator for the Bosnia Task Force and Kosova Task Force. The Bosnia Task Force is alleged to have direct ties to Al Qaeda and the Benevolence International Foundation, an Al Qaeda funding front whose founder Ernaam Arnaout, is now jailed on terror funding charges."

UPDATE3: Daniel Pipes has found several examples of radicalism at Sound Vision, this one where Sound Vision forum visitors applaud a bus bombing in Jersusalem, here where Sound Vision offers a boilerplate press release for denouncing terrorism, and here where Sound Vision offers advice on conducting dawah at public schools.   

UPDATE 4: Dec 28, 2008.  According to a commenter below, "The Abdul Malik Mujahid from Soundvision and the guy from Dar us Salaam whose company's book you link to are two different people. One guy is Pakistani-America, the other one (the second one) is Saudi Arabian."

There can be little doubt that one of two things are operating here-either the DNC is willfully recruiting Islamists due to their desire to see the US brought to its knees, or they have eschewed due diligence, deferring to their 'higher' obligation of multicultural inclusion - the consequences be damned.

Either way the DNC has become a dangerous place for those seeking to protect American interests.

What is very likely is that the hijacking of the former centrist Demnocratic party by Soros and his enablers has now become a defacto enemy of American citizens.

Ignorance of the above will be lethal in its blowback.

It's three things, IMO. Soros, blind multiculturalism and Islamists using our blindness and culture to invade our us and bring us to our knees under sharia law.

Barack Obama is in full support of his communist cousin Odinga who feels the same way about sharia...and is repsonsible for the killings of Christians in kenya by muslims. I think we can fully expect Obama to do the same as his cousin if he becomes our 'commander-in-chief' - the likes of which we've never seen before.

I hear the death knell of our wonderful, once-free, once capitalist nation...it is so upsetting.

I sent this page to the DNC. Wonder if I'll get a response!

Adina!

Haven't I seen you at ynet?

"Given that Howard Dean spoke at the September 2007 Islamic Society of North America convention ..."

Given the fact of DOJ & DOD sponsoring ISNA, what can you expect from a whore like Howard Dean?

The Abdul Malik Mujahid from Soundvision and the guy from Dar us Salaam whose company's book you link to are two different people. One guy is Pakistani-America, the other one (the second one) is Saudi Arabian.

It is not uncommon for one Muslim to have the same name as another, with the same spelling, a different spelling, hyphens, and anything else. It's caused a lot of problems for law enforcement, as well as people innocent of any wrong doing who happen to have the same or similar name to a wrong doer.

And I don't think there's anything sinister, per se, in having the given family name of Mujahid. People don't choose their last names.
