Imagine if a sitting member of the House of Representatives had had campaign events organized by alleged financiers of the KKK. He or she would already have resigned in disgrace. But Tlaib won’t even be asked about this.
“Rashida Tlaib campaign events in 2018 were organized by alleged terror financiers,” by Andrew Kerr, Washington Examiner, July 18, 2022:
Two men who held key positions at nonprofit groups that were found liable in a Hamas terror financing scheme helped organize campaign fundraising events for Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) in 2018.
The men, who organized events that were paid for by Tlaib’s campaign, were associated with a network of nonprofit groups that were found liable by a federal jury in 2004 for financing the terrorist slaying of an American teenager, David Boim, at a bus stop in the West Bank in 1996. A federal judge ordered the three groups to pay Boim’s parents a $156 million judgment for funding Hamas, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.
The groups — the Holy Land Foundation, the American Muslim Society, and the Islamic Association for Palestine — never paid up. They shut down shortly after they were ordered to pay the landmark judgment to the Boim family. The Holy Land Foundation ultimately had its monetary assets seized by the United States, and five of its leaders were sentenced to decades in prison in 2008, for providing material support to Hamas.
The first Tlaib campaign organizer, Rafeeq Jaber, testified during a deposition in 2003 that he served as president of the American Muslim Society and the Islamic Association for Palestine. Jaber testified that the two groups, while under his control, worked to “promote [Holy Land Foundation] in every way we can” and also distributed pro-Hamas documents, including an August 2001 editorial that advocated martyrdom operations and the killing of Jewish people.
Jaber was identified as a member of the “Hosting Committee” for a Tlaib campaign fundraiser in July 2018, according to a flier posted on Facebook. The event was paid for by Tlaib’s congressional campaign, the flier stated.
Jaber was also filmed sitting in the front row of an intimate Tlaib campaign fundraising event in March 2018, footage of the event uploaded to Facebook shows.
Jaber later urged his followers to support Tlaib’s reelection campaign in 2020, writing in a July 2020 Facebook post that the pro-Israel AIPAC, “radical right wingers and the white supremacists” want Tlaib out of office….
The second Tlaib campaign organizer, Salah Sarsour, helped raise money for the Islamic Association for Palestine and the Holy Land Foundation around the time of Boim’s killing and, in one case, allegedly wrote checks from his business’s bank account to funnel money to a Hamas militant.
“I passed money over to Adel Awdallah several times, and my brother sent money to him through me several times too,” Salah Sarsour’s brother, Jamil Sarsour, confessed to the Israeli government in December 1998.
Israeli commandos killed Awdallah in a raid in September 1998 for allegedly planning a terrorist attack. Israeli officials found wigs and a small cache of weapons, including hand grenades and submachine guns, at the hilltop compound Awdallah was killed in….
Salah Sarsour also played an active role in raising funds for the Holy Land Foundation “that is actually for HAMAS,” a 2001 FBI memorandum stated.
American Muslims for Palestine identifies Salah Sarsour as a member of its national board on its website.
Salah Sarsour co-hosted a fundraising event for Tlaib’s campaign on July 28, 2018, according to a flier posted to Facebook. The event was “paid for by Rashida Tlaib for Congress,” the flier stated.
He then appeared in multiple photos with Tlaib at the fundraiser. Tlaib reacted to a Facebook post containing three photos of her posing with Salah Sarsour at the fundraiser with a heart symbol from her personal Facebook account….

This will not change while those who wish it to happen, allow it to continue. I personally believe a change for Justice will come, but only from the Divine.
mortimer says
To SH: ‘from the Divine’. Muslims are leaving Islam every day in the tens of thousands and some as a result of dreams in which a divine figure appears to them and encourages them lovingly to leave Islam. https://www.worldviewsummit.org/post/muslims-experiencing-dreams-and-visions-of-jesus
At this dropout rate of about 10 million dropouts a year, Muslim populations will be radically reduced within one hundred years to one-third of today’s numbers.
Fitna says
Where is the evidence that 10 million Muslims leave Islam every year Mortimer? Why are they not all being hunted down by regular Muslims for leaving Islam?
What does your dubious claim have to do with the Muslim Brotherhood trying to conquer and destroy the West from within?
Are you just spreading lies, falsehoods to placate non-Muslims, to give us a false sense of hope that Islam will no longer be a danger to us, so that we do nothing about the Muslims who are working to destroy our freedom and way of life?

………………………………………..
Mortimer, you have said this many times before.
This math makes no sense. 10 million times a 100 is one billion, and there are about 1.8 billion Muslims in the world today.
No only are these figures unsubstantiated, but it also assumes that every other figure remains static–that no one converts to Islam, and that the large Muslim birth rate is not a factor.
As things stand now general estimates of those leaving Islam and those converting to it are roughly the same. This can change, of course. And then there is that birth rate…
It also leaves out another salient factor–in the case of power grabs by Islam, will those who have quietly stopped practicing Islam actually stand with us? Or will they go with their former coreligionists instead?
somehistory says
Yes, G, when I wrote that comment, I meant God will step in soon to end all of this evil, once and for all. Not that mozlums are leaving the cult of filth and death.
I don’t believe we have a chance of living a hundred years with all that’s going on…and I don’t mean individuals, but as planet earth and the people on it.
Rod says
mortimer, you’ll be surprised to learn that the world’s Muslim population seems to be increasing steadily by about two or three percent per annum.
But since jihadwatchers are skilled at believing things which aren’t true, I dare say you’ll continue to believe what you like to believe.
Of course one very high rate of growth worldwide is in people who don’t need any religion at all. It’s all thanks to better education. So perhaps there’s some hope for humanity.
CogitoErgoSum says
Rod, do you think Islam promotes education and freedom of religion? If you do, you need to educate yourself because you can do better.
CogitoErgoSum says
You must know a lot about Islam, Rod, or you would not be a defender of it. Maybe you can provide me with the answer as to my question I have about verse 9:29 of the Koran. When did it expire, or if it did not expire, which verse in the Quran abrogates it so that Muslims no longer have to follow its command to fight until everyone has submitted to Islam?
john smith says
Rod
allah is, The Destroyer, The Bringer of Death, The Greatest of All Deceivers. I didn’t give him these names, these are names he chose for himself.
Could you really trust this god, I Know I couldn’t, because these are names attributed
to satan in the Bible.
Give it some serious thought Rod, please, for your own sake.
gravenimage says
According to “Rod”, half of mankind will be Muslim in 30 years.
Perhaps this is just what he fervently wishes…
Rod says
Well, non cogito and your unthinking colleagues, cogitate about this-
I don’t think Islam promotes freedom of religion, any more than Christianity does.
I don’t know a lot about Islam, but probably more than you do.
I don’t defend Islam, but I detest racists and bigots.
I don’t “trust” any god or believe the fantasies of the Old Testament.
I can see that Pinocchio struggles with arithmetic, just as with facts and English comprehension.
No moderately sensible people could make ludicrous comments like yours. I suppose these wildly irrational thinking processes have led you to your ludicrous obsessions.
gravenimage says
How is CogitoErgoSum’s questioning whether Islam promotes education and freedom of religion something that is a “ludicrous comment” that “no moderately sensible people could make”, as “Rod” claims? This is perfectly reasonable, and very salient with more Muslims flooding into the West.
JOHN HINDS says
No kidding?! I’m shocked, just shocked, I tell you!!
CogitoErgoSum says
If she is a Muslim she is either an idiot or she thinks we are idiots and she is trying to deceive us. Some of us know how to read the Koran though. I wish everyone did.
mortimer says
To CES: she has not thought deeply about the atrocities that Islam requires its adherents to commit. The first such ‘atrocity’ is to surrender your god-given INTEGRITY, INDIVIDUALITY and CRITICAL THOUGHT and leave them at the door.
When she recovers the ability of CRITICAL THOUGHT, she will begin to leave Islam.
I ask Maha Bilal to begin her journey out of Islam by trying to justify the following statements of Mohammed:
-If a woman offered one of her breasts to be cooked and the other to be roasted, she still will fall short of fulfilling her obligations to her husband. And besides that if she disobeys her husband even for a twinkling of an eye, she would be thrown in the lowest part of Hell, except she repents and turns back
-Mohammed asked some women, “Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half that of a man?” The women said, “Yes,” He said, “This is because of the deficiency of the woman’s mind.”
-I think that women were created for nothing but evil
-Women are toys, so choose (your ‘toys’)
-I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers are women.
-Bad omen is in the woman, the house and the horse
-“Hang up your scourge where your wife can see it
…………………………………….
Maha Bilal cannot justify this ‘terrorism against women’ spoken by Mohammed himself!

Mortimer, Rashida Tlaib seems fine with Muslim atrocities against Jews. I don’t believe she is ignorant of this.

I checked out Ballotpedia, and this time, she is in a primary: last time, she didn’t have a real contest. Since her district is heavily (D), I’m hoping that one of the other candidates manages to primary her
CogitoErgoSum says
It looks like she switched to a newly created district but it still has two-thirds of the same voters that were in her old district. She probably has no reason to worry. We can only hope that she will get Joe Biden or Kamala Harris to come to Michigan to campaign for her. In fact, I encourage her to do so.

Perhaps elmi will go there and they can both be booed.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yeah, just too bad the primary is in August and not in June so they could both wish everybody a happy Pride Month.
Infidel says
Elmi’s primary is a week later (August 9th) and she too has competition

I have to remain positive….they will both be out one day…if not today, then tomorrow.
they are both double ugly…inside and out.
savvyone says
Muslims will do whatever they like. They are very brazen. They think only their laws apply. I see tons of misbehavior every day in the “Muslim” city I live in here in California. They own it!!
Now that all the catch and release border jumpers have been allowed to stay in the U.S. they could be recruited into the Islamic cult. There are more of them than the population of Chicago! And that is just the ones who were bussed in: the number of the ones who snuck in is unknown.
‘O’ should be happy with all the destruction.
Walter Sieruk says
Shame on that Un- American ,anti-Israel politician ,Rashida Tlaib , for supporting Islamic entities ,as Hamas and other jihad terror /murder groups similar to it.
Furthermore, what is assumed by many people view “Radical Islamic Terrorism” to be a “warped” or “hijacked” form of Islam. Yet the terrible harsh reality is that the actual religion of Islam is the entire foundation of Islamic terrorism or otherwise accurately, but seldom called what is really is, which is “Muslim terrorism.”
For Islam’s “holy book” the Qur ‘an [the Koran] instructs on the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam.
As found in ,for example 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. Furthermore, it may be illustrated that if Islam is represented as a tree then the fruits then the fruits of that tree are the many brutal, violent and deadly jihad terror entities. as Hamas and Hezbollah , Islamic Jihad , etc
With this statement, the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus may, very much, apply to this subject. For Jesus taught “Ye do know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” After saying this Jesus told them what He told them when He said “By their fruit ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:16, 17, 18,.20. [K.J.V.]
In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13,20.

Even worse than I thought. I suppose Is should not be surprised.
In a sane nation she would be prosecuted for this.
Andrew Blackadder says
How come the vast majority of the ”females” that embrace islam and those that want abortion on demand are mostly butt ugly, fat, loud mouthed, and dumb as a box of rocks.
Unless Trump or a man of his stature stands up and stops the daily destruction of America in 2024 then I fear the country I love will be thrown into the dustbin of history and will be known as the shortest Empire ever.
Rod says
“Rashida Tlaib campaign events in 2018 were organized by alleged jihad terror financiers”
Well, extraordinary things happen in the US government. Look at this one. It’s more interesting and more significant because we know this one is true.
“There were chilling details of a US vice-president’s staff calling their families because they feared death as the rioters closed in, having breached the Capitol that January 6 afternoon.” (And these weren’t Muslims threatening murder. Can you believe it?).
Infidel says
Rod
Why don’t you show up as a witness in these
show-trials? Looks like they need a lot of them, and direct involvement in the events in question is not a criteriaRod says
Infidel, is it 600 of the folk with “direct involvement” who are being charged and often sentenced? Or was that 800? And it seems many of them are pleading guilty.
Direct involvement not a criteria (sic), you say?
Fictions are not facts, even if you are a jihadwatcher.
somehistory says
the one and only ***reason**** any of them have pled guilty is because they want to get a sentence that will one day, allow them to go home. The ones who have stuck with the innocent thing, are being refused a trial.
But, you don’t care for that fact because you like to try to make all Americans out to be criminal. Btw, just how much does g soros pay you per lie?
gravenimage says
Grimly true, Somehistory.
Rod says
some history –
Are you telling me the shock troops on the front line of the battle to Make America Great Again are pleading Guilty to unjust charges just so they can run away home?
Wouldn’t a principled man maintain his innocence unto death?
Well, who’s surprised?
CogitoErgoSum says
Rod, as I asked farther up in the comments, what about verse 9:29 of the Koran? Do you not believe that verse is a constant threat to people everywhere who reject Islam and it is a command which Allah wants to be carried out by Muslims? In other words, aren’t non-Muslims under threat of being murdered by Muslims every minute of every day that they refuse to submit to Islam?
gravenimage says
Note that “Rod” has *no* problems with a congressional candidate being funded by Jihad terror financiers. But then, why would he?
As usual, he is just desperately trying to distract here. He has no other purpose.
Rod says
Friends, to have a “problem” with what Mr Spencer tells you, I’d need to have some confidence in what Mr Spencer says. I’ve at least twice seen evidence of his dishonesty. So, probably, have you.
Non cogito, I have at times lived for years among Muslims, worked with them socialised with them, employed them, travelled with them, trusted them to care for my children.
Your allegations are suggestive of a diseased mind. There is probably evidence around you which would show your opinions to be preposterous nonsense. Do me a favour and open your eyes.
gravenimage says
Note that “Rod” doesn’t say what the Washington Examiner has gotten wrong in this article–nor will he. He wants to pretend that this is just something that Robert Spencer has ginned up. But the vast majority of articles here source mainstream news sources.
And now he is implying that CogitoErgoSum has invented Qur’an 9:29. This is of course false. Here is quran.com:
https://quran.com/9/29?translations=20,83,84,17,85,18,95,48,101,41,31,19,22,28,27
This gives multiple translations. Here is the common Yusuf Ali translation:
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
Rod says
Pinocchio, why is it so difficult to address what I say, instead of what I don’t say or what you imagine I “pretend” or what I “imply”? If you invent nonsense it proves you to be a nonsensical person.
I have no interest in what you think the Koran tells you, or whether it”s true or whether it’s as nonsensical as the OT Bible. Can’t you find anything better to do than argue about dubious translations of irrelevant ancient superstitions?
gravenimage says
Of course, “Rod” *still* will not say what the Washington Examiner has supposedly gotten wrong here.
Then, he continues to refer to me as “Pinocchio”, without ever being able to point to anything I have said that is untrue. Calling someone a liar is not an argument if you can’t back up the claim that that person is dishonest. But then, “Rod” is not interested in honest debate.
As for the contents of the vicious Qur’an, this is obviously not about whether Islam is objectively true or not as he surely understands–it is about what pious Muslims believe, and what diktats they act on. The idea that being told they have the right to slaughter unbelievers is of no consequence is absurd; this and other examples explain why so many Muslims are waging violent Jihad against Infidels.
Claiming that this is irrelevant is grotesque–but unsurprising given the source.
More from “Rod”:
I’ve at least twice seen evidence of his dishonesty. So, probably, have you.
……………………………….
Really? Why doesn’t “Rod” cite these cases? Of course he does not. Earlier in this thread he implied that this story is untrue, then backed off when it was noted that this story comes from a mainstream news source.
Rod says
Pinocchio, I don’t care whether Spencer’s story is true or not. It’s enough that he thinks it’s important. So I know it’s probably not.
I backed off? That’s about as likely as that you’ll stop telling lies.
PS Am I right in thinking that your friend Andrew (see above) is a five star fully credited American, and an honoured jihadwatch pin-up boy? You’re all of the same revolting mentality as he is, to my mind.

More from “Rod”:
Pinocchio, I don’t care whether Spencer’s story is true or not. It’s enough that he thinks it’s important. So I know it’s probably not.
……………………………
Given that “Rod” has been ranting on this thread about this *not* being true, how can he now claim that he doesn’t care if this is true or not? Likely this is just the case because I pointed out that this story comes from a mainstream news source.
Then, the idea that it is enough (to condemn, I presume) merely if Robert Spencer considers something important enough to mention. Following this “logic”, this means that saying *anything* critical about Jihad terror is bad, merely because it is Robert Spencer saying it. Needless to say, this is morally bankrupt.
And “Rod” *still* won’t say what I have said that is untrue–he just relies on calling me “Pinocchio”, because he’s got nothing else.
Then, he says this:
I’d need to have some confidence in what Mr Spencer says. I’ve at least twice seen evidence of his dishonesty.
……………………………
This is actually *very* strange. “Rod” has been commenting here since at least 2017, and in the past five years “Rod” has only seen Robert Spencer get something wrong on two occasions?
Yet he *constantly* rants about Robert Spencer being dishonest here–very strange if this has happened on only two occasions.
Moreover, if he can only identify two cases, you’d think he would identify those cases. Yet of course he will not.
More:
PS Am I right in thinking that your friend Andrew (see above) is a five star fully credited American, and an honoured jihadwatch pin-up boy? You’re all of the same revolting mentality as he is, to my mind.
……………………………
I have no idea what nationality Andrew Blackadder is. Since his username is a reference to a British television show, however, I would not assume that he is American.
This is odd from “Rod”, in any case, since he will not identify what nation he lives in–even when he claims that this paradise has no bigotry and no cases of Jihad terror.
Rod says
So your friend Andrew’s disgusting post is fully acceptable and a valid representation of the jihadwatch mentality, yours included.
Much more odious even than your constant lying, but fully consistent with the normal everyday run of bigotry and racism.
What a cesspool this is.
gravenimage says
Actually, I said nothing about the content of Andrew Blackadder’s comments here at all.
He is stating an opinion. One may or may not agree, but there is nothing racist in saying that some women who convert to Islam are unattractive. In fact, people of all races convert to Islam.
But then, “Rod” has claimed in the past that Jihad Watchers’ concern for Nigerians and Egyptians harmed by Jihadists is “racist”. He still has not explained this.
And while saying something unfavorable about the looks of some people who convert to Islam may not be polite, the idea that this is the most odious thing one can express is simply bizarre–more odious than dishonesty, apparently (note that “Rod” *still* will not cite a single example of my being dishonest, because he’s got nothing), and, worse yet, supposedly more odious than Jihadists robbing, raping, and mass slaughtering innocent people.
The claim that Jihad Watch is a “cesspool” for condemning these horrors is just grotesque–but no real surprise given the source.
somehistory says
“rod” says this is a “cesspool” but he just can’t stop himself from wallowing in the mire and spreading his scent.
Rod says
Pinocchio, when anybody with principles, or even with good taste, reads something as revolting as Blackadder’s post on their own beloved website, and “says nothing about the content”, the conclusion to be drawn is there for all to see.
You and your bigoted friends are neck deep in the cesspool, along with Mr Blackadder and Mr Spencer. And apparently happy to stay there,
Rob says
Tlaib is clearly an Islamic terrorist and a butt ugly one to boot.
