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

Surprise: NJ Muslim Mayor Who Cried ‘Islamophobia’ Has History of Jihad Support

Nov 10, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media:

Sometimes things aren’t as they seem, and sometimes, on the other hand, they are exactly as they seem. Back in September, the mayor of Prospect Park, New Jersey, Mohamed Khairullah, was at JFK International Airport in New York City, on his way home from visiting relatives in Turkey, when “Islamophobia” struck and destroyed everything in its path. “We just wanted to go and have a good time,” he said, but upon return, he was held for no less than three hours for questioning. “I don’t go near shady organizations,” he declared and added: “I believe that my constitutional rights were violated” by questions about whether he had met with any terrorists. It turns out, however, that maybe those who questioned Khairullah weren’t racist, bigoted “Islamophobes” after all: Khairullah has a history of support for jihad activity.

Terrorism researcher John Rossomando noted Thursday that “it is more likely that Khairullah was pulled aside by the CBP [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] due to his frequent travel to the Syrian war zone via Istanbul, former CBP agent Phil Haney, who specialized in targeting potential terrorists, told the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT). “This has to do with indicators of potential terrorism,” said Haney.

Not only that. “Khairullah’s social media shows he repeatedly expressed support for Jabhat al-Nusra,” al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria. “Khairullah even thanked ISIS for taking bandits off the streets of Syria.”

“A good thing that ISIS has done is to eliminate the thieves and bandits in their area of control. Allah knows what was behind this move,” Khairullah wrote in a Jan. 5, 2014, tweet.”

But Khairullah didn’t note any of that when he decided to go public with this complaint about his questioning by the CBP. “It was definitely a hurtful moment where I’m thinking in my mind that this is not the America that I know,” he said. “I am very familiar with our laws and Constitution, and everything that was going on there was a violation.”

Even worse, “it’s flat-out insulting. It’s flat-out stereotyping of Muslims and Arabs.”

The litigation director for the New York chapter of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Ahmed Mohamed, added: “And the only reason they’re taken back to secondary inspection and questioned that way is because of their faith, what they happen to be wearing, and what direction they pray.”

There is much more. Read the rest here.

    …………………..

    How many foolish Infidels voted for this Muslim thug?

    More:

    Even worse, “it’s flat-out insulting. It’s flat-out stereotyping of Muslims and Arabs.”
    …………………..

    Yeah–it’s not as though he was a supporter of ISIS or anything….oh, wait…yes he was…

    And think about what this means–the traditional penalty for robbing Muslims–as implemented by ISIS–was cutting off the right hand and the left leg. Is this what he has in mind for New Jersey?

      Who voted for this thug? That’s a good question. You’ve got no more than about 2% ‘enrichment’ in your population yet they manage to get into these high positions and start contaminating everything. We know all about this sort of thing on this side of the pond. We’ve got this sort of specimen masquerading as ‘mayor’ in about 7 of our UK cities including that incoherent, abysmally incompetent Superthug desecrating London’s City Hall. And what’s aĺl this about ‘he doesn’t get mixed up wìth shady organisations’? Islam wàs a ‘shady operation’ fŕom the word ‘go’. Anď he’s protesting too much – we all know that the biggest crooks make the most noise, which is why we hear too much from muslims anyway.

        Grimly true, Jayell–we are on the same suicidal path.

      Hey graven …what do you think?….Will we see all this in the NJ media? Or any media?
      I’d like to see jihad watch headlines in the U.S.Media.

        Yeah–I couldn’t find much on this Jihadist creep in the local press.

    Muslims are rotten violent people who should not allowed to hold any high positions in non-muslim nations!

    Why was this person ever allowed to be mayor of an American city?

    Hard to believe after 9/11 and all of the false accusations of Islamaphobia that the American left always falls for this garbage. I have traveled to turkey many times and the vast majority of people do not support the radical government they now have but everyone knows what happens when radical leftists and Islamist come to power – you either conform or else.

    Oh please remember Obama rigged elections and placed leftist judges in key areas for his post presidential control …. we ate in Kansas City more !!!!!

    Exactly
    To many don’t bother to vote then when some thug like this Christaphobic mayor gets in office they start crying
    Who cares what this infidel thinks

    Even worse, “it’s flat-out insulting. It’s flat-out stereotyping of Muslims and Arabs.”

    Well, stereotypes exist for a reason. Try to pass around the “stereotype” that Asian men are well endowed and see if that sticks…
