No, Movita Johnson-Harrell is not a jihadi. And corrupt officials of all creeds can be found more easily than anything else in this world. The reason why this story is worthy of posting at Jihad Watch is because it is another indication of the dangers of identity politics. Movita Johnson-Harrell became a state representative because she is a Muslim. She was a symbol of the Democratic Party’s commitment to “diversity.” No one knew or cared whether she would be an honest or competent state representative. In that, her story is similar to that of Mohamed Noor, who was only on the Minneapolis police force because he was a Muslim, despite numerous indications of his incompetence. A woman is dead in that case. In this one, Medicaid and Social Security disability funds were diverted into Movita Johnson-Harrell’s coffers. Why don’t we go back to supporting candidates based on their merits, not on their religion, ethnicity, race, or gender? Oh, that would be “racist”?
