America faces several types of Muslim jihad – the violent kind of 9/11, the legal lawsuits to advance Shariah and stealth jihad, in which Muslims attain positions of influence.

That last jihad strategy is under way in the U.S. Congress, according to one Muslim member, even though at the moment only a few members of his faith have been elected.

"In 2030 we may have about 30, 35 Muslims in Congress," said Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., according to a CNS News report, which posted a Media Research Center video of him speaking at an event held by the Council on America-Islamic Relations, which has been designated a terror group by an Arab Gulf nation.

"Then we’re talking about Madame Chair Rashida. We're talking about Madame Chair Ilhan," he said. "Hell, we could be saying Speaker of the House Ilhan, Speaker of the House Rashida, Senator Rashida, Governor Ilhan, President Fatima, Vice President Aziza."

He was referring to Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ihlan Omar, D-Minn., newcomers to Congress. With Keith Ellison moving from the House to Minnesota attorney general, Congress now has three Muslim members.

Tlaib recently delivered a foul-mouthed rant against President Trump, calling for his impeachment. Alan Dershowitz said this week his Democratic Party should be worried if Tlaib is the "new face" of Democrats.

CNS reported Carson was speaking Thursday in Arlington, Virginia.

Carson said of Tlaib: "I love her, I’ve known her for decades. She’s a fighter and I stand with her. And we should stand with her."

He bragged of their influence, saying: "We've got firepower in Congress. We’ve got sister Rashida [Tlaib] in the House, and she’s tough.

"She’s the kind of sister you take to a debate with scholars with you, because she’ll rock the house,” Carson said. “She’s also the kind of sister you take with you if you’re about to get jumped, because she’ll fight too. That sister’s tough.”

Tlaib demanded to be sworn into office on Thomas Jefferson's Quran, perhaps not realizing that Jefferson apparently owned the book to investigate his enemies. The Founding Father was about to launch a war against the Muslim "Barbary Pirates" who had been attacking American ships on the African coast.

She also was accused of deceiving voters by claiming to be moderate on Israel, when in fact she supports sanctions.
