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

Coalition of Muslim groups launch $1,000,000 campaign to get Muslims to vote in 2020

Mar 15, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A new coalition of Muslim groups is launching a Democrat 2020 campaign to influence the Muslim vote. The “Million Muslim Votes campaign,” is described as “an unprecedented $1 million effort to find and persuade Muslims to participate in the 2020 general election.”

These groups are expectedly unsavory: CAIR, the Illinois Muslim Civic Coalition, MPower Change, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council.

  • CAIR is an infamous propaganda pitcher and an unindicted co-conspirator to Jihad terror.
  • The Illinois Muslim Civic Coalition partners with CAIR. CAIR Chicago’s Census Fellow, Nevarez Azdar works “with CAIR-Chicago and the Illinois Muslim Civic Coalition on 2020 Census related matters, namely building community awareness through workshops, presentations and events.” Azdar has “a particular outreach focus on college students and building strategic partnerships with similar peer civic engagement organizations.”
  • MPower Change was co-founded by Linda Sarsour, the “proud socialist” who has “compassion for Saddam Hussein”; defends and honors “known convicted terrorists”; “supports BDS and its Hamas agenda”; makes no secret of her “contempt Israel, Zionism, and Jews”; portrays America as “racist” and “Islamophobic,” and much more. “MPower Change aims to build political power online and offline for Muslims across the U.S. Combining cutting edge digital tools with years of field experience, organizing know-how, and an extensive network of supporters, MPower Change is redefining the ways that our communities build, maintain, and exercise power.”
  • The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) “has followed a consistent pattern of defending designated terrorist organizations and their supporters, opposing U.S. counterterrorism efforts and spouting anti-Semitic rhetoric.”

These groups have combined forces to influence the Islamization of America, and are being aided and abetted by political players who will always “stand by Muslim brothers and sisters” no matter what.

“Coalition of Muslim Political Groups Launches $1 Million Campaign to Get More Muslims to Vote In 2020,” by Steve Friess, Newsweek, March 12, 2020:

A coalition of prominent Muslim-American advocacy groups this morning are launching the Million Muslim Votes campaign, an unprecedented $1 million effort to find and persuade Muslims to participate in the 2020 general election.

Led by Emgage, a Washington D.C.-based group aimed at increasing Muslim-American political literacy and civic engagement, the campaign will focus on increasing turnout in several states with sizeable Muslim populations, Emgage CEO Wa’el Alzayat says.

“We believe getting the community to vote in a consistent manner and not just voting in presidential elections but for local, state and national offices, is a crucial ingredient to build political power,” Alzayat says. “In 2016, we saw that the scapegoating, demonization of the Muslim community was part and parcel of the electoral strategy of Trump. He was rewarded at the polls. We want to make sure that the Muslim community steps up and votes and gets its voice heard to let the country know how it feels about that.”

Emgage will be joined in this effort by EmPower, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Public Affairs Council, MPower Change and Illinois Muslim Civic Coalition, among others. They will target Muslims in Michigan, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Georgia, New York, Illinois, Texas and California.

A Tech-Driven Effort

More sophisticated than a simple get-out-the-vote public awareness campaign, the groups have developed an algorithm “to determine likely Muslim voters, and we overlay it on top of other identifiers like ethnicity models” in voter data purchased from the progressive data trust Catalist, Alzayat says. It’s not an exact science; many Muslims don’t have stereotypical Muslim-sounding names and some who do are not Muslim……

    Ah, the irony of it. A jihadist front organization encourages jihad-supporting people to vote for a Jew. Bernie Sanders has many fellow-travellers who would like him to change his name to ‘Abdul’.

    As long as a final determination is not made about who owns the West Bank (containing Judea and Samaria), then the Pallies will continue to agitate. The attribution of those territories to the Jewish homeland is obvious to anyone who studied the series of decrees sent down by the British Foreign Office. The stipulation that the Jews should show ‘fairness’ to Arabs was never actually spelled out, so the Pallies took the hesitancy as an invitation to ‘negotiate’ through terrorism.

    The terrorism will continue as long as their is hesitancy and lack of resolution.

      I saw where some poll such as Politico found that one of the reasons Sanders did so badly in Michigan as compared to 2016 was the endorsement of Tlaib and So-Sour. These two plus AOC and the rest are part of the reason for “Say it ain’t so, Joe” was able to breeze through super Tuesday’s elections.

        Interesting, Ray. Certainly, Tlaib’s approval ratings are pretty bad.

          Doesn’t cover, wears a short skirt, and pals around with men not her husband or a member of her family.

          Especially with a Jewish man.

    I think that the funding should be approved, and then garnished to pay any wrongful death lawsuits against terrorists like PLO and Hamas still pending.

    • RonaldB says

      Mar 15, 2020 at 2:42 pm

      “Approved”? The article didn’t mention government funding, so the funds don’t have to be approved. They simply have to be contributed by someone. In fact, $1 million to influence a US election is such small potatoes that the article makes me think something else is going on.

      • gravenimage says

        Mar 15, 2020 at 6:55 pm

        Yes, Ronald–the one small saving grace is that this is almost certainly not taxpayer money.

  3. RonaldB says

    Mar 15, 2020 at 2:49 pm

    Actually, this is just small-potatoes identity group politics. It highlights the fact that almost any group imported into the country will vote as an identity group, at least until becoming assimilated. Studies show that the current crop of third-world immigrants we’re getting not only vote overwhelmingly Democrat as a bloc, like Jewish voters in general, but continue to vote that way as second-generation and third-generation citizens.

    Generally, elections in the US are very close, so it becomes sensible to vet potential citizens not only for a criminal record and for their ability to support themselves, but whether they’re likely to vote to continue the country as it is. Even high-income Asian and Indian immigrants tend to vote heavily Democrat. We could do worse than to cut off immigration altogether. As for the dreamers, cut a deal: stay in, but you do not automatically inherit voting rights nor citizenship rights; nor do your children. In other words, they are non-voting residents as are their children.

    It is delusional to think that importing ethnic peoples into the country will result in anything but identity politics.

    “It is delusional to think that importing ethnic peoples into the country will result in anything but identity politics.”

    That’s definitely the take home.

    That Sarsour (a name that, incredibly, means “cockroach”) staring like a predator snake at the Jewish socialist she knows will idiotically enable Islam to slither into the halls of power.

    • eduardo odraude says

      Mar 15, 2020 at 7:56 pm

      The only reason I mentioned that Sanders is Jewish is that I’m pretty sure Sarsour, as a good little Islamist, hates Jews, one reason she looks like a snake about to strike in that photo.

      • RonaldB says

        Mar 16, 2020 at 12:11 am

        Actually, Muslims can tolerate Jews who are subservient. Sarsour hobnobs with anti-Israeli and pro-immigration Jews. Muslim governments in the past have not necessarily been hostile to their Jewish populations. So, if a Jew wants to be subservient, he has a good chance of getting along under Muslim control.

        The Israelis are not willing to concede to Muslim law or predominance, so there is an organized Muslim movement/jihad against them.

        In Europe, attacks on Jews specifically is associated with the mass migration of Muslim populations. There have certainly been attacks by Muslim immigrants to the US, but I don’t know if the Jews attract the Muslims’ anger more than simple white Americans.

      • Terry says

        Mar 16, 2020 at 6:01 pm

        Good analogy. One point of edification though: Sanders is Jewish by ancestry not religion, and as a devout atheist, he denounces ALL religions (Marxist ideology).

        He is using Sarsour to get elected and she is using him to advance the Islamic cause. If Sanders were to get elected, the TDS fireworks we have been watching these last 3.5 years will look like a backyard bbq birthday celebration compared to what will ensue when the socialists clash with “the Brotherhood” for power. I’m sure both sides aren’t naive about each other’s plan to eliminate the other side when the time is right, but given how poetic justice works, their self-aggrandizement will not bode well for anyone.

  7. No Muzzies Here says

    And to reward the Muslims for their votes and their generous contributions to the Democrat party, the Democrat party will grant Muslims many coveted privileges.

  8. OLD GUY says

    Mar 16, 2020 at 10:38 am

    Remember Adam and Eve in paradise, the snake convinced Eve to eat the forbidden fruit that corrupted all of mankind. Sarsour has eaten that fruit and is now trying to feed it to the rest of us. Unfortunately the desperate and greedy politicians will feed from her fruit and be indebted to her and the islamic devils she represents .

  9. Walter Sieruk says

    This Muslim campaign coalition is a clear and obivious example of Islamic infulence in American politics.
    This is also one of the methods for the advancment of Islam’s Sharia law in the United States of America.

    This scheme for the enactment of Sharia law in the USA is termed the “Stealth jihad” and those Muslims who take part in it well understand this goal they have will take time and they are willing to take the time.

    The Muslims who emply the stealth jihad well understnd this and they are very willing to take the time needed to achieve their Islamic agenda for the establishment of Sharia lawin this nation. So this sly Muslim policical game plan is also called “Islamic Gradualism.”

    Furthermore, this Islamic gradualism, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”

    “More sophisticated than a simple get-out-the-vote public awareness campaign…”

    Yeah, it’s more like the Tower Hamlets method, from London, where dozens of postal votes shared the same handwriting and thirty-odd voters were registered to a single one-room address.

    Imagine if sarsour’s antisemitic “prophet” muhammed met Bernie Sanders given muhammed’s hatred of Jews.What, he must wonder would a muslima be doing with one of THOSE people{koran 2:65}one of those “Be ye apes… to be despised and hated”?
    Didn’t he mass-murder enough of them at Khaybar{Abu Dawud 4390}?

    Imagine if {Black African slave-trading} muhammed met barack obama,the man who famously said “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of islam”:muhammed would likely be wondering how much he could sell Obama for{Sahih Muslim 3901}…..but he’d need another one as the exchange rate is Two for the price of one.{“And he {muhammed} sold him for TWO of the BLACKS”}
    No slander of muhammed is intended here: it comes from official islamic sources
    {Sahih muslim 3901}

    Imagine if muhammed the misogynist met sarsour:he’d be wondering why her face is uncovered,why is she wearing HARAM make-up,why does she think she has the right to talk to a man especially given{Sahih Bukhari 2658}”the deficiency of a woman’s mind”and why is she speaking at all:does a muslima not know her place and that she is only worth HALF the value of a man{koran 2:282}?

    The RED-GREEN AXIS is clearly represented here in this picture:

    The Lefty Jew and the antisemitic muslima.

    sarsour pretending to be tolerant and friendly:but that’s all part of the game of political islam aided and abetted by the Lefty Jews,the very people who are #1 on islam’s hate list and for whom islam has a plan {Sahih Muslim 6985}
    Comrade Sanders going along with it.

    As in Europe, especially England which has a high muslim population, have allowed muslims to vote. Now as Muslims are voting, they have gotten fellow muslims to run for office. They run for town positions and make changes to the English Laws to laws that suit Muslims. We have such Muslims in America. For example a muslim woman is now part of a commissioner group of a city in if all places Massachusetts. Obama brought them here for the sole reason is their ability to have babies quickly. Whites and even blacks dont produce babies as fast as muslims do. However it has been noted that Mexicans have babies a little faster than muslims. Either way, the white population will cease to exist and or not hold public positions for anything, in the next 5 years. Possibly muslims could take over 10 years from now. Not my figures but posted awhile back from another new agency.

    The following of Islam is little better than the following of Satan Worship. Sadly, our Canadian government sees fit to protect and invite Islamic terrorists, such as members of ISIS to come and live with us at tax payers expense.

    In addition, we have given 10 million dollars to a convicted Islamic terrorist, Omar Khadar and Justin Trudeau refers to ISIS members as Canadian Soldiers.

    Please tell me where is the sanity in any of this. Canada is a free country. It was bought and paid for by two generations of very brave young men who fought in two world wars so that we could have and enjoy that freedom.

    Our Canadian Government has blindly, deliberately and maliciously turned our freedom over to Islam; to Sharia law. Our Canadian Government has been openly inviting these people to come live here for the last 40 years and now is bringing in some very dangerous clowns.

    Our Canadian Government is betraying Israel and seems to be supporting Palestine and is destroying our country in the process.

    Our Canadian Government has, “Values”, and has chosen these, “Values”, over Virtue.

    Let us examine them: Abortion; Euthanasia; taking away free speech; supporting transgenderism & pedophilia; supporting same sex marriage over a proper marriage between a man & woman; open door policy; No borders and taxing the middle class to oblivion!

    I Thomas Prat will stand up against this moral corruption. I Thomas Pratt will stand for our God; Our Country; Our freedom; Our Sovereign and our BNA Act and Unwritten Constitution, so help me God! I will defend it to the death if need be. I owe this to two generations of Canadians that gave their lives. Who am I not to be willing to make the same sacrifice and be proud to do so! May God Bless Canada! May God destroy Islam and Communism!
