Check out the “distinguished” guest list for the jihad conference that both Bernie Sanders and Julian Castro will be attending. Julian Castro’s campaign is dying fast. Castro will not be the Democrat Party nominee for president. However, Bernie Sanders could very well be. It is absolutely frightening that a leading presidential candidate would attend such a conference.

It is not a surprise that the mainstream media continues to give Bernie Sanders a pass for proudly associating with some of the worst racists, thugs, and neo-Nazis in America. What is shocking is that President Trump, the Republican Party and even Fox News do not expose and attack Bernie Sanders for his extremism and embrace of Islamic supremacists. And where are America’s Jewish groups? Why aren’t they attacking Sanders?

Can you imagine if President Trump attended a white supremacist conference, in which David Duke was a guest speaker? What would the reaction from the media be? It would be chaos. All hell would break lose. Gd help America if Bernie Sanders is elected President.

Sanders, Castro Are Speaking With These Extremists in Houston

By Ryan Mauro, The Clarion Project, August 27, 2019:

Clarion recently reported that Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Julian Castro will be speak at this weekend’s convention of a radical Islamist group with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Sanders and Castro will participate in a “presidential forum” at the convention of Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) in Houston beginning August 31, 2019.

Headlining the convention is comedian and Daily Show host, Trevor Noah, as well as Democratic presidential candidates, Bernie Sanders and Julian Castro.

As the 56th annual convention draws near, the list of featured extremist participants is starting to take shape. These radicals include:

Nihad Awad is the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR grew out of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), a group founded in 1981 by Hamas member Mousa Abu Marzook. FBI wiretaps in 1993 reveal that CAIR was established to deceptively push the Islamist agenda in America.

Hatem Bazian is the chairman of American Muslims for Palestine and founder of Students for Justice in Palestine.

He is also a professor at the University of California-Berkeley’s Department of Near Eastern and Ethnic Studies and a founder and board member of Zaytuna College.

Zahra Billoo is the executive director of the Northern California chapter of CAIR.

Billoo has praised the terrorist group Hezbollah, tweeting “AH [All Hail] for Hezbollah having the courage to do what the Arab governments won’t” and likened the anti-Semitic terrorist group Hamas to a victim of rape implying her support of Hamas rockets being fired into the civilian population of Israel.

Mehdi Hasan is a longtime presenter for the Qatar state-owned media outlet Al Jazeera. “When he speaks, he’s no less a government spokesman than Kellyanne Conway or Sarah Sanders,” explained David Reaboi of the Security Studies Group.

Linda Sarsour: Activist and Woman’s March organizer Linda Sarsour has a very sordid history with regards to anti-Semitism.

Sarsour associates with the organization Al-Awda and its co-founder (an open and unapologetic Hezbollah supporter) Abbas Hamideh. Sarsour and Hamideh playfully joked around with each other about the Jewish connections to Israel. She attended numerous rallies sponsored by Al-Awda; promoted and solicited donations for their events; spoke at their rallies. She has distanced herself a bit from Al-Awda, though she has never denounced the organization.

Abdul El-Sayed, a former Michigan gubernatorial candidate has several problematic associations. Clarion Project was the first to bring attention to El-Sayed’s embrace the Islamic House of Wisdom — a radical, pro-Iran, mosque in Dearborn Heights. The Islamic House of Wisdom is one of three Iran-linked mosques in Michigan.

Hassan Shibly is CAIR-Tampa’s executive director. Shibly is currently acting as a pro-bono attorney and advocate for Hoda Muthana, a New Jersey-born woman who proclaimed her adherence to ISIS in writing and is now seeking to return to the US.

In 2004, Shibly was detained at the Canadian border after he and his associates attended an Islamist conference in Toronto. He then sued the Department of Homeland Security and his case was dismissed.

Muzammil Siddiqi is the chairman of ISNA’s Fiqh Council of North America, the body that issues the authoritative religious rulings for the group.

He is also on the executive board of the International Assembly of the Council of Ulama’ in Mecca, Saudi Arabia and the Supreme Council of Mosques in Mecca. In other words, he’s part of the Saudi Wahhabist establishment.

Omar Suleiman, a member of the ICNA Sharia Council, is the founder and president of the Irving, Texas-based Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research. Suleiman, who’s views recently came under scrutiny after he was invited to provide the invocation prayer in the U.S. House of Representatives, has a long history of siding with Hamas, praising terrorists, and pushing anti-Semitic tropes about how Israel controls U.S. foreign policy, calling Israel the 51st state of America.

Imam Siraj Wahhaj is a radical preacher who served as a character witness for the “Blind Sheikh,” Omar Abdel-Rahman, who was found guilty of masterminding terrorist plots against the United States, including his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Who is the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)?

ISNA was identified as an “entity” of the Muslim Brotherhood by the Justice Department during the trial of the Holy Land Foundation, a Brotherhood front that was shut down for financing Hamas.

ISNA was labeled as an “unindicted co-conspirator” during that trial, partially because the Holy Land Foundation “operated from within ISNA.”

While claiming to oppose extremism, ISNA has a long history of booking speakers that promote anti-Semitism and using inflammatory extremist rhetoric.

By speaking at the event, Noah, Sanders and Castro are helping ISNA appear as moderate leaders of the Muslim-American community, giving them a facade of legitimacy as they say one thing and do another.
