On July 20, 2020, the American Muslim advocacy organization Emgage through its political arm Emgage Action hosted a virtual Million Muslim Vote Summit. One of its prominent speakers was former VP Joe Biden, whom Emgage Action had endorsed for President in the coming election.
Khurrum Wahid, board chairman for Emgage Action, went on record as he introduced Biden to the Summit audience, saying to the candidate:
“We have a swing state strategy and we will deliver for you Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Florida. We will activate large groups of voters in Texas and Arizona. We will turn out one million votes nationally. We’re going to ask everyone we know to ‘vote Joe’ on November 3rd.”
Naturally, Biden wants to curry favor with this up and coming political voting block, and he wasted no time pandering for their votes in his 11 minute address (you can find this beginning at the 48.36 mark in the recording). Among the lists of things he promised American Muslims should he win the election are: repealing the “‘vile’ Muslim travel ban” on his first day in office; signing “hate crime” legislation, apparently making “Islamophobia” (or as he terms it, “Islamicphobia”) a crime punishable by law; appointing many Muslims to his administration; He said to his Muslim listeners, “I want to earn your vote….I want to work in partnership with you, make sure your voices are included in the decision-making process as we work to rebuild our nation….I’ll be a president who recognizes and honors your contributions….I’ll be a president who seeks out and listens to and incorporates the ideas and concerns of Muslim Americans on everyday issues that matter most to our communities.”
Likewise, on the topic of international relations Biden assured his Muslim audience that he would speak out against “targeting for violence and prosecution (sic) Muslim minorities around the world” and would work with “…our partners to meet the moral demands of the humanitarian crises in Syria, Yemen and Gaza.”
But, he warned them, these promises would not become realities unless he is elected, and to be elected he needs each and every Muslim to “mobilize and motivate,” not to sit on the sidelines. They need to actively spread the word in their mosques and community centers to make sure everyone votes for Joe Biden.
To impress upon them the importance of his election for the advancement of Islam, Biden proceeded to quote a hadith (authoritative Islamic tradition) purportedly from the lips of Muhammad — whom Biden referred to as the Prophet Muhammad [I wonder if Joe quoted from the Sermon on the Mount whether he would refer to Jesus as “the Lord Jesus”]:
“A hadith from the Prophet Muhammad instructs, ‘Whomever [sic] among you sees a wrong, let him change it with his hand. If he is not able, then with his tongue. If he is not able, then with his heart.’”
As many well-versed former Muslims have pointed out, this hadith undergirds the Islamic claim that Islamic Law, known as Shari’a, must be the standard by which all Muhammad’s followers conduct themselves. Shari’a is the universal divine law by which Muslims are to enforce virtue and punish vice. When Osama bin Laden wrote his “Letter to America” in November 2002 justifying the September 11th attacks some fourteen months prior, he used these words to describe Islam:
It is the religion of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil with the hand, tongue and heart. It is the religion of Jihad in the way of Allah so that Allah’s Word and religion reign Supreme.
Notice the phrase “enjoining the good and forbidding the evil.” This is the purpose for which Allah gave Shari’a to Islam, by which to rule the world. Notice as well the triumvirate of “hand, tongue and heart.” This directly connects bin Laden’s understanding of Shari’a with the hadith which Biden quoted to his Muslim audience.
Whether Joe Biden knew it or not, the message he was sending to his Muslim listeners was that active support of his campaign was in line with Shari’a; apathy toward his campaign, or even worse, support for Trump, would put a Muslim in opposition to Muhammad.

In this 90-minute video, Joe Biden receives the endorsement of an American Muslim advocacy organization called “Emgage”*. He words begin at 48:36**. He says, “Look. One of the things I think is important, I wish we taught more in our schools about the Islamic faith. I wish we talked about all the great confessional faiths; it’s one of the great confessional faiths.*** And what people don’t realize is that — one of my avocation [singular sic] is theology — don’t realize is that we all come from the same root here, in terms of our fundamental basic beliefs, and I just want to thank you for giving me the opportunity for being engaged, for committing to action this November. You’re doing what’s never, that’s never been done before. You’re registering and turning out one million Muslim voters this November.”
So Joe Biden is an amateur theologian? Ya coulda fooled me. I can’t wait for him to field a question about, say, trinitarianism in his first debate with Donald Trump, who will be left babbling about Norman Vincent Peale platitudes. Bring it on!
* CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, claims to be America’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization. How does it compare in size (membership, budget) with Emgage? Ibrahim Hooper, who is CAIR’s National Communications Director, will have an answer to this, but he dare not state it, lest he lose his title as America’s Most Uncommunicative National Communications Director.
** Quran 48:36 is Islam’s one-way Golden Rule: “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah ; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves.”
*** What makes a faith “confessional”? Give an example of a non-confessional faith.

BIDEN QUOTES THE SAME HADITH (‘change evil with the hand’) AND CALLS FOR MUSLIMS TO CONDUCT JIHAD AGAINST THE US CONSTITUTION:

Thanks for that information.
mortimer says
CONFUSED BY THE FOLLOWING? Quote: “enjoining the good and forbidding the evil with the hand, tongue and heart.”
TRANSLATION:
1) forbidding evil with the hand = VIOLENT JIHAD-TERRORISM
2) forbidding evil with the tongue = LYING ABOUT JIHAD-TERRORISM
3) forbidding evil with the heart = LOVING JIHAD-TERRORISM and HATING THE ‘DIRTY KUFAAR’ .. for the sake of Allah.

CONFUSED BY THE FOLLOWING? Quote: “so that Allah’s word and religion reign SUPREME”.
TRANSLATION:
‘The Muslim leadership in the United States is working to impose Islam as the official religion of the United States and enforce SECOND-CLASS STATUS on all other religions.’

Wow – Biden will be busy on his first day in office. This is the millionth thing he has said he “will repeal on his first day in office”.

There’s no good reason to vote for this serpent. He’s dangerous for so many reasons.

Did you see the mobile game where Russians kidnap Donald Trump in 2013 during Miss Universe in Moscow, clone and put him in the White House? If preprogrammed clone does not follow orders from the Kremlin, the auto-destruction mode will be triggered?
It is a fantasy game inspired by all the noise around the Russian interference in US elections.

Crazy.

Biden’s stupidity and ignorance, never mind his family’s corruption, bodes ill for the preservation of liberty should this very deficient man be elected to the highest office in the land of the most powerful country on earth.
Approaching nightmare scenario. Yes, this ominous.

Totally agree Wellington, it really is that bad.

Biden is ignorant about the meaning, motives and methods of Islam, and yet, preposterously he presents himself as an expert on religion.
Biden has specified that, from a theological standpoint, “what we don’t realize is that we all come from the same root here, in terms of our fundamental basic beliefs.”
No, Joe, Islam is NOT ‘from the same root’. Islam is death cult from the desert which contradicts hundreds of the teachings of the Bible. It is a pagan cult dressed up with Biblical imagery, but having nothing to do with Biblical ethics.
Joe is a shallow fellow. Obama was theologically very shallow as well. I do not doubt the sincerity of these two men … I challenge their paltry knowledge of the religious subjects they discussed.

Wellington says,
“Approaching nightmare scenario. Yes, this ominous.”
Unfortunately, 100% agree…
Daniel Triplett says
This shouldn’t even be a close contest. So disturbing. The problem of course isn’t Biden, or Hillary, or Obama, Kerry, AOC, Omar, Sanders, Schiff, Pelosi, et al. They’re just opportunistic arrogant fools. The real problem is the growing electorate who would elect these dangerous fools to power.
Trump isn’t the bad guy here. It’s demographics that have been shifting to the Left for many decades now. Replace “Trump” with any other (R) and the results are the same. There will never again be a Reagan 49 state landslide. 43 and Trump have depended on the electoral college for victory because it appears the popular vote is interminably out of reach.
And when TX flips Blue (it’s already Purple), that’s it. There will never be a Republican POTUS again.
I hate being a “Downer Dan”, but I think it’s worth keeping this in perspective and reacting accordingly.
“Nightmare” is right.
James Lincoln says
Daniel,
An accurate – yet depressing – analysis.

This is the same a-hole who stole his good friend’s wife (Jill), and also enjoyed secretly driving his friend’s Corvette while he was nailing his wife, eventually crashing it, which is how his friend learned of the affair.

Why Is Joe Biden Channeling Osama bin Laden?
……………
Disturbing stuff.
OLD GUY says
Biden is a crazy old politician who will sell his ass to the DEVIL himself to become the President of the United States. His desire to gain this political office has nothing to do with a desire to lead America but to go down in history as a President, his life long dream.
For Joe and his wife (she may want the White House more than Joe) everything is for sale that will promote them and their family.
The big question is who will be running the country if Joe is elected?
James Lincoln says
OLD GUY says,
“The big question is who will be running the country if Joe is elected?”
Certainly not Joe.
Likely Harris – and the rest of the Leftards…

Even in his best days, Biden has always been a bumbler who thought he was the smartest guy in the room. Now he has a medical excuse for being dumb.

Joe didn’t compose those words. They were given to him by the people to whom he has sworn allegiance, and their religion rhymes with slam.
