Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Plaintiff behind Trump immigration ban suit runs Muslim Brotherhood mosque

Mar 17, 2017 2:58 pm By Robert Spencer

The Muslim Brotherhood is dedicated in its own words, according to a captured internal document, to “a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” That’s from “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America,” by Mohamed Akram, May 19, 1991.

“Plaintiff behind Trump travel ban runs Muslim Brotherhood mosque,” by Leo Hohmann, WND, March 17, 2017:

Imam Ismail Elshikh, a native of Egypt, leads a Muslim Brotherhood-tied mosque in Honolulu, Hawaii, and claims he is suffering ‘irreparable harm’ by President Trump’s temporary travel ban.

The main plaintiff in the Hawaii case blocking President Trump’s revised temporary travel ban is an imam with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

The irony is hard to miss: Trump has talked about declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, and now it is a Brotherhood-backed imam who is playing a key role in blocking his executive order on immigration.

Imam Ismail Elshikh, 39, leads the largest mosque in Hawaii and claims he is suffering “irreparable harm” from the president’s executive order, which places a 90-day ban on travel to the U.S. from six countries.

One of those six countries is Syria. Elshikh’s mother in law is Syrian and would not be able to visit her family in Hawaii for 90 days if Trump’s ban were allowed to go into effect.

Hawaii’s Obama-appointed federal judge, Derrick Watson, made sure the ban did not go into effect, striking it down Wednesday while buying Hawaii’s claim that it amounts to a “Muslim ban.” The state’s attorney general, along with co-plaintiff Elshikh, claims the ban would irreparably harm the state’s tourism industry and its Muslim families.

According to the lawsuit:

“Plaintiffs allege that the Executive Order subjects portions of the State’s population, including Dr. Elshikh and his family, to discrimination in violation of both the Constitution and the INA, denying them their right, among other things, to associate with family members overseas on the basis of their religion and national origin. The State purports that the Executive Order has injured its institutions, economy, and sovereign interest in maintaining the separation between church and state.”

The vast majority of Hawaii’s roughly 5,000 Muslims attend Elshikh’s mosque, the Muslim Association of Hawaii, which is located in a residential area of Manoa, Honolulu. The mosque, despite its ties to what many believe is an extremist and subversive organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, may now hold the key to whether the Trump travel ban passes muster in the federal court system.

Elshikh was born and raised in Cairo, Egypt, the home base of the Muslim Brotherhood, whose stated goal is to spread Shariah law throughout the world.

Elshikh is living in the U.S. on a green card, which gives him permanent legal status.

The proof that his mosque is affiliated with the Brotherhood is found in the court records for Honolulu County, which lists the deed holder as the North American Islamic Trust.

John Guandolo, a former FBI counter-terrorism specialist and now private consultant to law enforcement at Understanding the Threat, said all mosques under the “Muslim Association of” moniker are typically affiliated with the Brotherhood.

But the clincher in this case is that the mosque property is traced to NAIT, “confirming it is a Muslim Brotherhood organization,” Guandolo told WND in an email….

    First, it seems that many people seem to fail to understand that the job of President Trump is not to have a PC policy of immigration that the left would like . The job and duty of President Trump is to ensure the safety and protection of the American citizens.
    Second,it also appears the some people don’t understand that the security and safety of America people as well as peaceful visitors this nation and this topic of a travel ban from terrorist hotspot countries in important. This subject had been, somewhat, explained in the book, by Robert Spencer which his entitled THE COMPLETE INFIDEL’S GUIDE TO THE KORAN. For on page 230 it informs the reader “Immigration. Since there is no completely reliable way to tell any given Muslim believer takes the Koran’s dictates about warfare against Infidels literally, immigration of Muslims into the United States should be halted.”
    In addition, on page 232 of the same book read “The willful blindness of Western leaders threatens us all, and the very survival of free societies.” Therefore, don’t let them fool you, the many apologists for Islam is will endeavor to set up a smokescreen to hide the reality of the truth about the violence and deadly essence of Islam by making the bogus claim that the al Qaeda operatives mass murderer on 9/11 were not real Muslims and that they were breaking the laws of the Qu ‘ran by their violence and deadly actions.” The apologists for Islam will further make the totally false claim that “Those terrorists on 9/11 were only criminals who hijacked the peaceful religion of Islam for Politics.” Those outrageously false claims are weak attempt of damage control for the image of Islam to the West. For the “holy book” of Islam the Qu ‘ran. For the Qu ‘ran instruct in Sura 9:111. Muslims who are engaging the jihad that “The believer’s fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain ,they kill and are killed “ That’s just what happened on September 11, 2001 the jihadists of al Qaeda “killed and were killed” in those 9/11 jihad attacks against both humankind and America. The Quran also teaches in Sura 9:123 to that jihad –minded Muslims behavior towards non-Muslims “let them find harshness in you…” Those Islamic attacks on 9/11 were indeed very “harsh.” As Sura 2:191 instructs “kill the disbeliever wherever you find them.” That’s a very strange kind of “peaceful religion” if there ever was one. Just to site one more out on many from the Qu ‘ran about the instruction of deadly violence is Sura 47:4. Which instructs “Whenever you encounter unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them …” Let’s face it, using jet planes a missiles as those jihadist/ Muslims did of September 11, sure made a greater “slaughter among them” then sword can. Wake up West to the actual nature of Islam before it’s too late.

    “Judge” Derrick Watson’s big break was when he was previously appointed as Assistant U.S. Attorney by the bizarre, psychopathic murderess and Clinton cover-up operative, Janet Reno.

    Presumably, Derrick has already booked several de luxe vacations this year, paid for by his master.

      But has he made the appointment for his wife and any daughters to receive their Muslim genital mutilation procedures (as supported by Hillary, through Huma Abedin’s mother, who writes and publishes books on the subject of forcibly mutilating all females worldwide)?

      No, the evil results are always re-routed to someone who ISN’T responsible for infesting America with the Army of Charles Mansons.

    We now have a Federal judge who has ruled that any foreign national on American soil has veto power over any national security directive by the POTUS that is harmful to their political agenda.

    We now have a rogue judiciary that was the worst nightmare of the founders of the USA. The POTUS has been rendered powerless because he can be vetoed by any of over 100 Federal Judges on purely ideological grounds that do not even bother to reference the Constitution or the Law.

    Western civilization has been rendered defenseless and faces total destruction by rogue judges who place their personal ideology above the US Constitution and the Law.

    This is Obama’s true legacy.

      Obama was a puppet, and a willing, delighted one. He got to inflict his Muslim upbringing onto the evil America. He loved it! Open the doors to anyone and everyone, with the goal of bringing down America. He was VERY effective! He was, of course, just doing his job — and irony of ironies, not even an American! Born in Kenya or wherever. Put right in front of our faces: a Muslim installed into the office of President of this country! Couldn’t be more brazen, more ‘in your face’ — ‘F’ all Americans! Time and again … those who hate America aren’t just outside of this country. We have been taught, in schools everywhere and by media, to hate America, apologize for America … my god it’s laughable if it weren’t so tragic and so frightening.

        I am not american I am israeli and here we have so many muslims that its really scary

          I think most of us writing here are aware of that. The problem is the liberals, who will leave a room or put their hands over their ears if anyone tries to tell them anything that they don’t want to hear.

          And they don’t want to hear that Islam is NOT the religion of peace.

        Don’t ask Trump; just look at the birth certificate that Obama’s relative has put on the internet. And you might be able to find the sign near Mombasa declaring that Obama was born near there.

        While you’re on the internet, the nude photos of Obama’s mother used to be available; you know, the ones taken by the communist Frank Marshall Davis.

      yes, evil will lose, but satan is going to mislead and hence cause the eternal death of many millions first.

      • somehistory says

        Mar 18, 2017 at 12:36 am

        That has been his demonic plan all along. Jesus said that satan has the “means to cause death,” and Jesus knows of what He speaks. satan the devil takes evil pride in causing people to do wrong and suffer eternal consequences.
        We just have to remember that Good/Righteousness will win and we just must “endure” until the end.

        Mar 18, 2017 at 5:59 pm

        Satan has been misleading for a long time.

        Stupid, near-goatherd, pedophile Mohammed didn’t think up a system to mock God and to take over the world 1,400 years after he was gone! Another entity did that!

    andrew swallow, it doesn’t really matter to the left; most people in the u.s. still understand, at least to a degree, that obedience of the law is necessary for society to function, but to those leading the left, the only thing that is important is the outcome they desire. in other words, they believe that the end justifies the means – *ANY* means. if some innocents, or even if many innocents, will die in their attempts to seize control of the State, that’s not a problem. laws simply do not matter to the left; viz. clinton, obama, lynch, holder, emanuel, et.al.

    Why Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood) was not yet declared illegal terrorist organization? As this article clearly shows, as long they are still active and allowed to function, it is absolutely futile to fight them through courts (periodically issuing “watered-down” bans in executive orders which they will challenge each and every time). Time is precious and it is running out while the border is so porous that elephants would pass virtually undetected (as authorities would be doubtless afraid to be accused of “elephant-phobia”).

    “Irreparable harm” from a 90-day travel moratorium? Pardon me while I tune up my little violin…
    There are undoubtedly Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers ensconced in positions in various government agencies Time to fumigate.
    The real subject is, U.S. Code 8 section 1182 is crystal clear. A lawful executive order of the president was blocked by one lone judge who purports to be a mind-reader, making a mockery of the separation of powers and setting an ominous precedent for the future. This ruling must not stand.
