Nida Allam has been elected to office in North Carolina, and her campaign has prioritized the significance of her Democratic primary win in Durham county:
The campaign told CNN that officials looked back at previous North Carolina election data, county by county, and found no previous Muslim American women who had won elections to hold office in the state. “That’s when you realize — this hasn’t been done,” Allam told CNN.
Allam celebrates and promotes the hijab — an Islamic symbol of female oppression — and deems it bigotry to oppose it:
“My silhouette on my campaign logo is of my hijab because I wanted to be very unapologetic about that. These little girls were so excited. They said, ‘That’s you? Is that really a hijab? Is that a hijab that you use?’ They were so excited to see that kind of representation,” Allam said. “And it really solidified for me how important it was to for me to be running for office.”
This is what Nida Allam beams with pride over and wants Americans to accept:
(Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.
If a woman does not cover, she is fair game to be assaulted:
(Quran 33:59) O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused.
Allam was a signatory to a Muslim Affairs Council petition entitled We stand with Rep. Ilhan Omar and subtitled Community leaders from all over the US are supporting Rep. Ilhan Omar against bigotry.
Allam wants to see “better” education in schools, since in her view, opposing the hijab is rooted in “hatred” and “bigotry”:
“Allam said she wanted to run for commissioner because of the significant role the board has in allocating funding for schools. ‘This type of hatred and bigotry that my friends were lost to, I feel like there’s a lack of education, that also leads to that type of environment,’ she said.”
CAIR, which has been increasingly influential in North Carolina, not surprisingly supported Allam’s candidacy. Back in September, CAIR called on North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest to “withdraw from headlining an event featuring several controversial anti-Islamic speakers.” According to North Carolina Policy Watch, the roster of speakers for the “private conservative Christian event” included:
- A pastor who calls the notion of a separation between church and state “cowardice” and those in the movement for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality “militant homofascists” bent on turning the U.S. into Sodom.
- An author who has railed against Muslims as would-be conquerors and rapists and LGBTQ rights as a first step to America living under Sharia law.
- A pastor and Republican politician who has asserted anyone not committed to the U.S. as an explicitly Judeo-Christian nation should leave.
No names were given and no fair coverage was provided about what message these individuals have actually delivered.
CAIR’s national communications director, Ibrahim Hooper, stated that “such ‘comments’ once regarded as limited to the political fringe – have sadly become more mainstream in American politics.” Then Hooper proceeded to blame (who else?) Donald Trump:
“Unfortunately with the election of Donald Trump we’ve seen the empowerment of white supremacy, xenophobia, Islamophobia and anti-immigrant extremism around the country,” Hooper said. “That includes among lower level public officials who perhaps had these beliefs in the past but kept them private.”
North Carolina Policy Watch featured more “Muslim rights activists in North Carolina,” who stated that they were “pushing back….after the U.S. Education Department ordered the Duke-UNC Consortium for Middle East Studies to revise its curriculum, saying it is advancing ‘ideological priorities’ and promoting ‘the positive aspects of Islam’ and is in danger of losing its federal grant funding.”
The alliance between Nida Allam, CAIR, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council, and her unwavering support for Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib should be matters of concern.
“North Carolina woman says she’s first Muslim American woman to win elected office in the state,” by Jessica Campisi, CNN, March 5, 2020:
(CNN)Nida Allam made history on Tuesday night when she became the first Muslim American woman to be elected to office in North Carolina, her campaign says.
Allam, who ran as a Democrat, was one of five women to win the party’s primary for the Durham County Board of Commissioners’ five seats, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections. She finished fourth with 39,523 votes.
Since there are no Republican candidates running in the general election, Allam and the four other candidates will presumptively take office in November.
“People of Durham you made history last night by electing me as the FIRST Muslim Woman to serve the state of North Carolina,” Allam tweeted Wednesday morning. “I can’t even express how grateful I am to have earned your trust and support.”
The campaign told CNN that officials looked back at previous North Carolina election data, county by county, and found no previous Muslim American women who had won elections to hold office in the state.
“That’s when you realize — this hasn’t been done,” Allam told CNN.
Muslim advocacy groups, such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations and Muslim Advocates, celebrated the win.
“She succeeded where others weren’t able to break through that glass ceiling,” Robert McCaw, the council’s Government Affairs Department director, told CNN.Allam’s campaign priorities include a $15 minimum wage for county workers, boosting mental health services in schools and investing in businesses run by women and people of color, according to her website….
Jyoti Prakash Mitra says
The main thing you must know is that Nida Allam want American Women must give strength to the Muslim stem. Hindus or even others never demand so. To keep a Muslim is a frenzy. It has nothing to do with destiny. What does Muslims say on the whereabouts of God? They say they will wage a Jihad. Good Luck!
andra says
Why is it that no nation is able to learn from other nations´ mistakes? The longer I read JW the worse the Islamisation of the US gets. Look at Lebanon, look at Indonesia, or – even better – look at what is right now Happening to Europe.
Leon degney says
Don’t forget Egypt. The countries mentioned have all been taken over in my lifetime. When are people going to learn? Despite all the murders rapes and general debauchery Islam is a growing force. WAKE THE HELL UP PEOPLE!!
James says
I agree with you. This is how it all began centuries ago. Bow down to Allah or die that serve rule they force you into Islam or die. I believe the Muslims are here to take America like they have other countries in the past
Scott says
Amen
Frank Damian says
Absolutely right they should swear on a bible to hold office it’s in the constitution. In koran they can lie murder and rape as well as molest children they all want sharia law I say outlaw Islam deport these people they hate America
PRCS says
No, it’s not in our Constitution.
Doug Duncan says
Agree completely…
PRCS says
“If a woman does not cover, she is fair game to be assaulted:
(Quran 33:59) O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused.”
That MUSLIM women will be known (distinguishable from ‘unbelievers’), leaving kuffar women fair game to be assaulted by those to whom Qur’an applies: Muslim men.
Qur’an 33:59–which elevates the status of MUSLIM women above all other women–is an expression of Islamic supremacism.
mortimer says
PRCS ‘gets’ it. The verse 33:59 is actually extremely misogynistic. Allah is giving a decree allowing rape. This verse admits that Islamic rape of kafirs is already normative. The Islamic veil tells jihadists that Muslim women are off-limits, but also declare kafir women to be fair game.
Thus, the veil represents the height of bigotry against kafirs. If only Western people realized this, they would never think the veil had an innocent message.
Mike says
islam is and should be treated as a cancerous disease
Any where this malignant festering infection is found it’s nothing be the rape and abuse of women and children.
Violence and ignorance
It’s a secular cult of laws, not a religion.
It’s acceptable for muslim men to kill homosexuals.
Their hypocrisy
It’s also accept for muslim men to have sex with little boys and gays. As long as the muslim male gives no pleasure to the homosexuals or raped little boys.
islam is an abomination to actual religions of the world
It is my opinion it shud be treated as cockroaches or rodents in the grain storage
brandyarney386 says
Another Trojan horse event
mortimer says
White libtards will not vote for a devout Christian, but they will vote for a devout, bigoted Muslim who supports the rape of kafirs and cruel, harsh, discriminatory Sharia law.
US libtards are not broad-minded … they have not analyzed what they are broad-minded about. They are shallow virtue-signallers.
PRCS says
This is what Nida Allam beams with pride over and DOESN’T want Americans to know about (if she even knows this):
(Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.
That’s their slaves and their enunchs.
From a recent Wellington post:
“I trust no Muslim because either they know what their religion teaches or they don’t know what their religion teaches.”
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
“I trust no Muslim because either they know what their religion teaches or they don’t know what their religion teaches.”
That’s right on, what I’ve been thinking for decades all summed up in one tight sentence.
My Muslim Vote
Moslems vote for Globo-Socialists (aka Progressives, aka Democrats) cuz the party is down with the hairy folk. Just look at the Iran-Contra deal.
Me, when Sen. Chuck was crying crocodile tears over Trump’s so-called Moslem import ban, I found myself in tears. Rolling on the floor in front of the couch laughing and crying tears of belief that such a moment could happen.
mortimer says
The Red-Green Axis combines two irreconcilable opposites. However, Globalism is not a form of communism; it is actually a form of globalist crony-capitalist fascism, giving multinationals and billionaires the right to create monopolies.
PRCS says
Credit the line to Wellington.
And, yes, I can imagine your response to ‘cryin’ Chuck’.
James says
I think somehow there should be laws requiring representatives in the government and Congress, legislatures, etc. to wear Western clothing. The German court decision requiring Western clothing in courts should be the standard practice in Western countries.
GreekEmpress says
The scary thing to me about this article is that she is running UNOPPOSED. No one to face in the general election? So she automatically wins? North Carolina—what’s happening?
A primary is the place to stop an opponent you don’t like from getting to the general. I know people that have re-registered parties to do just that.
Gork says
As an article of clothing, I really don’t care whether a woman chooses to cover her hair. So what? The problem isn’t the clothing but that it represents the uniform of a creed of hate.
But the one thing that I will say to the voters of North Carolina is this: You had ample warning of what this woman stands for. She may not be telling the whole truth, but she isn’t lying.
I hope you remember this when SHTF.
PRCS says
“Muslim rights activists in North Carolina,” are pushing back against a Federal policy which might make promotion of their ‘special’ religion more difficult.
mortimer says
This woman turns reality upside down. It is the hijab that is ‘hatred and bigotry’ directed towards women. The Islamic veil is the ultimate symbol of misogyny and patriarchy.
The Revelation of Veiling due to Omar’s Interference:
Allah did not think of the idea of compulsory veiling until Omar (later caliph) demanded the revelation of the verse of veiling from Mohammed: Sahih Bukhari 1:4:148; Sahih Bukhari 8:74:257; Sahih Muslim 26:5397.
The sequence of events as laid out in the ahadith are as follows:
1.Omar repeatedly asks Mohammed that Allah should reveal verses for the Qur’an pertaining to the veiling of women.
2.No such revelation is sent down.
3.Omar follows Mohammed’s wives one night when they go out to relieve themselves and calls out to Mohammed’s wife Sauda to tell her she is recognized by him.
4.Sauda goes home in a state of embarrassment and relates to Mohammed what has happened.
5.Allah then reveals the hijab verse as Omar had wanted all along.
Of course, this brings up some obvious questions:
– If Mohammed is ‘just a messenger’, relating Allah’s word, why did Omar need to ask Mohammed for the hijab revelation? Why did he not just pray to Allah and ask directly?
– No revelation was sent down until after Omar spied on Mohammed’s own wives. Why did Omar do this? How did he know (or at least suspect) that it would be successful? Why does Allah care about toilet privacy of Mohammed’s wives so much that he revealed a verse in his eternal book that applies to all Muslim women that will ever live?
A common apologetic for this is that Allah was waiting for Omar to do this so that the situational revelation could come down. However this is not mentioned anywhere, thus there is no evidence for it. Moreover, Omar confirms that he came up with the idea first and then Allah “agreed with him”.
PRCS says
While I agree with the rest of your post:
Allow me to rejigger your post:
It is the hijab that is ‘hatred and bigotry’ directed towards KUFFAR women. The Islamic veil is a visible symbol of ISLAMIC SUPREMACISM.
James Lincoln says
As I understand it:
The hijab has different legal and cultural status in various countries – and is worn for different reasons.
In Western countries, it has become a prominent symbol of the presence and supremacy of islam.
In islamic countries like Iran, the hijab is compulsory – and is indicative of the subjugation / oppression / inferiority of women.
PRCS says
Qur’an reads the same—everywhere. Qur’an 33:59–rather than subjugating/oppressing MUSLIM WOMEN–elevates their status above that of kuffar women so that THEY will not be ‘abused’ by Muslim men (Islam/Islamic law being the supremacy you mention).
O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable THAT THEY WILL BE KNOWN and not be abused.
Of course, it’s compulsory in countries ruled per Islamic law (like Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc.).
Muslim women in nations not governed by Islamic law who claim “it’s my choice” are either lying or (as Bill Warner says) “don’t know sunna from tuna”.
No Muzzies Here says
Very bad development. I fear the American public is totally ignorant of the future that it is choosing for itself.
Carol Ricard says
You would think these people would wake up and realize that they are living in the 5th century. Sheeple.
Battle says
Is she also “unapologetic” about polygamy, no stun first animal abuse, divinely inspired wife beating, female genital mutilation, women treated as property, forced conversions, forced marriages and slavery?
PRCS says
Step #1.
Someone has to ask her; which Raleigh/Durham voters apparently didn’t do.
PRCS says
But, do note:
She should be asked if she’s unapologetic about those things–in Muslim countries, too.
Rufolino says
And the murder of gays.
A Gnostic Agnostic says
Adam blames the woman for his own iniquity.
Muhammadan men blame women for their own inability to control themselves
as Muhammad was clearly a sexual degenerate who preyed on women,
as Muhammadan men do while blaming the women for their own depravity.
Muslim women are literally wearing the original sin of Adam:
blame women for what the man is guilty of.
Huh!?! says
We, meaning Uncle Sam, must arm ourselves with the truth.We have to close ranks. Vote for those candidates that support the U.S. Monitor our schools and community. It can be done. We must seek out and support like minded men and women for our public office. There must be more that just Donald Trump. I have heard it stated that God threw the U.S. rope with President Trump. My concern is what happens when he leaves office. Will there be enough patriotic men and women to fill his shoes? Support Jihad Watch, Pamela Geller, ACT for America and the like. Everything islam touches turns to dust.
E T says
Questioning minds are open minds. I wonder how many Muslims voted to get this woman elected.
Iran. — For defending seven women who took off their hijabs, 55 year old lawyer, Nasrin Sotoudeh, received 38 years in prison and 148 lashes.
Women who get lashes in prison, have their wrists tied together and are hung in the air so the barbarians can lash the bottoms of their feet for maximum pain. Many women are also raped.
CAIR / the Muslim Brotherhood hoods, alway opposes any person who speaks out about their acts of oppression. President Trump needs to deport Nihad Awad and all members of the hood NOW.
E T says
I meant to say always oppose, you know what I meant. Lol
Giacomo Latta says
”Allam celebrates and promotes the hijab”
Well of course it’ s all about the hijab, that pretty little black rag. Only the worst of people could be against it. Someone needs to ask Allam about the the wife-beating, tolerance and promotion of sex slavery in the koran. Let her tell the world and her coreligionists that the koran is of no importance, just some cheap rag.
PRCS says
But don’t ask her whether she supports those of Islam’s teachings HERE as she’d likely utter some tap-dancing version of ‘No’.
Ask her if she supports those things–wherever they occur–anywhere on the planet!
OLD GUY says
Yes lets vote islam into office, that is their plan for forcing sharia and islamic rule down our throats. If you think things will be better living under Islamic rule go to one of their “wonderful” progressive countries and try that lifestyle out for awhile. Think before you VOTE and if you want to live under islamic rule go to a country that offers you that lifestyle. I do not want islamic rule or sharia law so take it somewhere else.
