Days Before 9/11 DHS Sec. Tells Radical Muslim Group Islam is Religion of Peace, ISIS Isn’t Islamic

Days before the anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history Obama’s Homeland Security secretary became the highest ranking government official—and first sitting cabinet member—to highlight a convention held annually by a radical Muslim group with extremist origins. The Indiana-based nonprofit is called Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and it was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the parent organization of Hamas and Al Qaeda. ISNA was a co-conspirator in a huge case involving an Islamic charity (Holy Land Foundation) that provided support to a foreign terrorist organization, mainly Hamas.

ISNA conferences often feature contentious speakers, including renowned Islamists and advocates of terrorism. Among them is Imam Warth Deen Umar, who referred to the 9/11 hijackers as martyrs that were secretly admired by Muslims and has called for violent jihad. At one ISNA convention Umar portrayed the Holocaust as punishment of Jews for being “serially disobedient to Allah,” according to a research conglomerate recognized as the world’s most comprehensive data center on radical Islamic terrorist groups. The nonprofit, Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT), published a disturbing report on ISNA that documents its radical ideology and conference speakers throughout the years that include “some of the world famous Islamists and advocates of Jihad.”

About a week before the 15th anniversary of 9/11, Obama deployed Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to ISNA’s annual powwow in Chicago. The appearance likely amounted to a slap in the face to many Americans, especially survivors of the 2001 attacks. Johnson’s speech lasted about 22 minutes and he basically said ISIS/ISIL isn’t Islamic, that Islam is a religion of peace and that Islamophobia is the same as McCarthyism. In a press release announcing the appearance, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) writes that Johnson will discuss the Obama administration’s “continued commitment to build bridges to Muslim American communities, and encourage Muslim Americans—particularly youth—to continue to fully participate in American society.”

Johnson didn’t exactly receive a warm reception and was booed repeatedly, especially as he exited the stage. He told the crowd that a group of terrorists is attempting to hijack their religion and that he and Obama “refuse to bend to the political pressure to call terrorism Islamic extremism.” He went on to say that “we know that ISIL, though it claims the banner of Islam, occupies no part of your religion, a religion founded on peace.” Then Johnson proceeded to compare the discrimination and vilification suffered by Muslims to the plight of African Americans, in particular to “tar you with a broad brush of suspicion.” Johnson proclaimed that the bullying and physical attacks experienced by Muslims nationwide are familiar to him as a black man. “I look out at this room of American Muslims and I see myself,” he said, adding that theirs is a similar struggle to the one his African American ancestors fought to win acceptance in the U.S.

Everytime I see this hopeless clown “Jeh” Johnson I want to laugh out loud. I suppose his parents, if he had any, didn´t know how to spell “Jay”. What a pompous Affirmative Action crotch-scratcher. He would look just right sprawled on some general store porch in Mississippi, spittle dribbling out of his mouth, urine-stained pants, eyes rolled back in his head, a bottle of NIght Train in his hand. Funny as he is, he still deserves to be arrested and imprisoned for treason, among other crimes. I predict he will be on the first flight to Equatorial Guinea when The One is finally dethroned.

We are aware the administration is promoting immigration of
Muslims into the US. And Africans. Rumors about serious diseases
are popping up here and there/diseases Americans will die of/or have
died from. We hear that hemorrhagic fevers are spreading in France/
Calais. We hear that Africans/Muslims are being flown in and then bused
to various states/cities without prior discussions with mayors or governors.
UPS? US planes from Guatemala? There are no screenings, bld. tests, physical
exams? I do not want the Guinea worm!! And I don’t want anyone else to have
it either.
What is the purpose of Jeh Johnson comparing Muslims to the “African Americans”?
And his experiences being equivalent to that of Muslims? What do we call a person/group of persons/ hell-bent on causing other persons pain and chaos? The administration is
flirting with evil.

Johnson suffers from nigger schizophrenia. It is a sub set of the more common mental illness of liberism. Race issues trump all logic all the time. Almost all niggers have it.

Wish some of these people who proclaim Islam as a religion of peace would point out some part of the Muslim governed or dominated world as an example of peaceful Islam in action.

Anytime in history since the 7th century or so would do.

I’d like to see what it looks like, and what Western civilization’s future looks like if we don’t immediately change the way things are going.
