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

Champaign, Illinois appoints Muslim who quoted hadith about Muslims killing Jews to anti-discrimination commission

Jul 24, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“In 2013, Taha republished a photo on his Facebook page, ostensibly of a brutally killed Egyptian teenage boy, which was accompanied by the text: ‘O Muslim, O servant of God. There is a Jew behind me, come kill him.'”

This is mainstream Islam. The notorious genocidal hadith states: “Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.” (Sahih Muslim 6985) This hadith is repeated with minor variants several times in the hadith literature, which repetition Islamic scholars take to be a sign of authenticity.

What business does a Jew-hater such as Taha have on an anti-discrimination commission? Well, for the Left these days, statements like his are “tolerant.”

“WESTROP: City Of Champaign, Illinois Appoints Anti-Jewish Extremist To Anti-Discrimination Commission,” by Sam Westrop, Daily Wire, July 23, 2019:

When Deb Feinen, the mayor of Champaign, Illinois, suddenly and unexpectedly decided to replace one of the members of her city’s Human Relations Commission, she cited the importance of “diversity” as the reason. Out went Kenton Elmore, an unquestionably white Commission member; in came Ahmed Taha, an Egyptian immigrant and a prominent figure in the city’s Muslim community.

Elmore appears to have been a popular member of the Human Relations Commission, and his abrupt removal left other members of the Commission a little unsettled. But the mayor said she felt the city was “underrepresenting the Muslim-American community.”

At a cursory glance, the decision to appoint Ahmed Taha made sense. Champaign has a significant Muslim community, and Ahmed Taha is a significant figure in that community. But just a slightly closer look would have found that he is significant for one thing more than anything else: His hatred of Jews.

Taha’s anti-Semitism is no secret, and has been unveiled before — mostly because of his involvement with two prominent Islamist organizations, the Muslim American Society (for which he runs the Champaign branch) and the Islamic Circle of North America. The latter group is a proxy for Jamaat-e-Islami, a violent South Asian extremist movement.

In 2013, Taha republished a photo on his Facebook page, ostensibly of a brutally killed Egyptian teenage boy, which was accompanied by the text: “O Muslim, O servant of God. There is a Jew behind me, come kill him.”

In March 2014, Taha shared a conspiracy theory by a far-right website claiming that the president of Egypt, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, was secretly Jewish. “Is that true?” Taha asked, “If yes, this is a castastroph [sic].” In October that year, he then posted a video supposedly exposing Joe Biden as a “Zionist” and revealing the “Rothschild Zionism Secret Regime in America.”

After we at Islamist Watch revealed Taha’s extremism in 2017, he quickly deleted his vile posts. We kept screenshots.

Tellingly, Taha only deleted the Facebook posts we mentioned — and none of the extremist posts we didn’t mention. Today, his Facebook account remains replete with support for Egypt’s leading theocratic movement, al-Ikhwan al-Muslimeen. The page is also full of various other hateful, mad conspiracy theories — mostly written in Arabic, about such “topics” as Jewish control of the current Egyptian government and how President Sisi comes from a family of Jews and CIA members….

    An Ikhwanist anti-Semite should be barred from all public offices and commissions.

      Things have been illin’ and annoyin’ in Illinois for quite some time!

      This is also Illinois with the SATANIC symbol displayed in its State House!

      (….”religion as superstition enslaves minds and hardens hearts…”)

      Note: this symbol was intended as an insult, not a free expression of worship,
      and it comes as an AntiChrist timing of Christmas Season, which also coincides
      with Hanukkah. Also note: the “Christmas” tree only has candy canes and
      red ribbons decorating it, no Cross or Star presented!)

        This Satanic statue that had been set up, for a time, in the Illinois statehouse will only give the jihadists additional information to use against America in their jihad propaganda war against the West.

    diversity is a bad idea. We need a variety of responsible comments. Just choosing a person who speaks irresponsibility is a negative form of diversity.

    Champaign, Illinois appoints Muslim who quoted hadith about Muslims killing Jews to anti-discrimination commission
    …………………..

    This sort of thing would be hilarious if it were not so deadly. That a popular and competent (and presumably non-antisemtic) board member was fired to make room for this Jew-hating Muslim makes this all the worse.

    • CRUSADER says

      What’s hilarious is how Illinois (of French origin)
      got the name Champaign spelled so wrong!

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champagne#Origins

      Gots to gets thangs right!

      Champagne means “open level country”
      and the Templar Order came from this source in France.

      CHEERS !

        CRUSADER–with all respect–I’m more concerned about brutal Islamization than i am with misspellings–and I’m generally a stickler for the latter.

    Still think all those diplomatic efforts by the Israelis to outlaw anti Semitism amount to much? In G-d I trust.

    If someone is a good Muslim, then they believe that the Koran, the entire Koran, is scripture to be followed.

    Then good Muslims do NOT believe in the US Constitution. Belief in the one means unbelief in the other.

    • Herb Lubi says

      As their Quran has commanded that Muslims must not take the Infidels as friend or helpers, so how exactly does that give them the right to be above the people as in government over the people? They are to Dominate and force submission upon Americans to be below the government? They are here in war, not peace, as Americans will have to fight them sooner or later when they get the upper hand. Then they will make their move to force America to bow to Islam as submissive or die. Do not give up your weapons for the time is neigh. And America will again fight for freedom and the American way.

    “When Deb Feinen, the mayor of Champaign, Illinois, suddenly and unexpectedly decided to replace one of the members of her city’s Human Relations Commission, she cited the importance of “diversity” as the reason.”

    If I hear one more clueless leftist American female spouting this diversity and inclusion garbage as a reason to do some muslim male outreach my head is going to explode. You want multi-cultural diversity Deb, fine, relinquish all the rights you have earned under primarily white male American rule and begin to live under sharia law. That is exactly what you have now earned and deserve. I and others are not going to allow the Debs out there to ruin the lives and liberties of normal thinking American women and girls. Enough is enough leftist women! We are done with you.

      tgusa has before pretended that the only dhimmis are women. This is simply untrue.

    In my opinion Kenton Elmore’s race and probably religion even if atheist were discriminated against in favor of Egyptian Arab and Islam Moslem by hateful Deb Feinen.

      It appears he is truly committed to his community and is running for city council. His FB page and the town’s news (smilepolitely) are heartwarming.

    Imagine if we had India’s immigration policy.
    =================================

    America’s Border Patrol has less than 20,000 people. India’s Border Security Force has 186 battalions and 257,363 people. It’s a paramilitary organization with an intelligence network, ten artillery units, air and marine wings, and canine and even camel units. And the weapons aren’t just there for show.

      or if someone got to her with some sort of incentive.
      Since Kenton is now running for city council, I wonder about the politics of the mayor.

    The jihadist or jihadists attacks in Western nations ,as in Dusseldorf ,Germany, or be the Muslim terrorists in the other cities of the different nations of Europe as Strasbourg, Stockholm, London, Manchester ,Brussels , Paris, Nice, Berlin ,Madrid. Those jihad-minded Muslim terrorists who engage in those vicious Islamic terror attacks cannot be and will not be reasoned with. They will not respond to either logic or reason. They aren’t interested, at all, in reason or logic. So they have to be dealt with by a strong force of might. Either by the police or the military.
    For the violent Muslims who are jihadists will only understand the language violent force since that their mindset because the jihadists are men of deadly violence . Of course they are that way because of the religion which is Islam. As Islam’s “holy book” the Qu ‘ran instructs in 47:4. “Whenever you encounter the disbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…”

    Many Muslims actually view Christians and Jews as “disbelievers

    Remove the word “anti” from the Sign and some would say, it will now read accurately.
