DHS, however, did not do so. It’s clear that there is heavy Muslim Brotherhood influence in this administration, but the administration itself refuses to acknowledge it, and may not even be aware of it. State and DHS could have and should have known that the ISNA convention would be full of pro-jihad, pro-Sharia, pro-caliphate rhetoric, and not had any administration officials attend. But that would have angered the Muslim part of the ruling coalition. So they went.
And of course no one cares. It isn’t as if two administration officials attend the conference of an organization that is opposed to jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women. That would have been a scandal.
“Exclusive: State Department Distances Itself from ISNA’s Islamist Agenda, Homeland Security Stays Quiet,” by Susannah Johnston, Focus on Western Islamism, September 22, 2022:
The U.S. State Department has distanced itself from the Islamist agenda promoted by speakers who appeared at a convention held earlier this month by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).
The agency issued its statement on September 21 in response to a query from FWI about the appearance of Rashad Hussain Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom at ISNA’s annual convention. A spokesperson declared that the ambassador “rejects the use of rhetoric that promotes discrimination, harassment, and violence against people of all faiths and backgrounds.”
Hussain, who was appointed to his post by the Biden Administration in January 2021, spoke at the ISNA event in Rosemont, Illinois over Labor Day weekend. The convention featured speakers who have promoted anti-Hindu rhetoric, called for the release of convicted terror supporters and for the establishment of a caliphate.
At this year’s ISNA convention, some speakers presented progressive visions while others painted an Islamist future for the United States. One activist who spoke at the convention called convicted Hamas terror supporters, “the finest men.”
ISNA was founded in the 1980s as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. It grew into one of the largest American-Muslim organizations in the U.S., attracting thousands of attendees to its annual conventions. In the early 2000s the U.S. government listed ISNA as an unindicted co-conspirator in the trial regarding the Holy Land Foundation’s funding of Hamas. This led to an initial chilling of relations between ISNA and U.S. government officials. Time passed, and the current administration appears to have forgotten ISNA’s Islamist roots.
President Biden, who spoke at ISNA’s virtual conference in 2020, sent a letter to this year’s convention, thanking the organization for inviting him to participate. In his letter, Biden reminded attendees of all the Muslim appointees in his administration.
“When I came into office, I pledged that my Administration would reflect the diversity of the United States—and that’s what we have done, including appointing the first Muslim American to the federal bench and the first Muslim American to serve as the Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom,” he wrote, referring to Hussain.
Another Biden appointee, Brenda Abdelall spoke at the convention. Abdelall works as Assistant Secretary of Partnership and Engagement for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Abdelall spoke at the convention on Friday afternoon with very few people in attendance. (The Department of Homeland Security has not responded to an inquiry about Abdelall’s presence at the convention.)
The appearance of Hussain and Abdelall at ISNA’s convention is troubling given the radical agenda promoted by other speakers at the event….
Speaker Miko Peled, an Israeli Jew who supports boycotts against the country, called for the release of convicted terror supporters. Peled begged for the release of five men convicted in the U.S. for supporting the designated terror group, Hamas, saying “Five of the finest men you will ever meet received long, tortuous prison sentences in federal prison for being Muslim and Palestinian.”
In another session, Muqtedar Khan, a University of Delaware professor, implied establishing a caliphate is a given, “When we talk of establishing khilafah, justice is not enough.”…

Two Biden administration officials attend ISNA convention, State Department distances itself from pro-jihad rhetoric
………………………………….
All they did was “distance themselves”–and not condemn it outright? This sounds more like CYA than anything else.
I guess it could be worse, though–they might not even be going through the motions.
How I hate this administration. And even if we get someone decent in the White House in 2024, a lot of these Muslim and dhimmi elements are going to remain entrenched throughout our government.

The Obama Administration did irreparable harm to the United States of America by overloading every facet of our government with bad (umbrella word) guys and, this Administration is a continuation of the Obama Administration.
Unless the American people wake up and elect people with backbone to the Senate and House of Representatives, a change for the better is wishful thinking. In the House of Representatives, at minimum, 100 Representatives should not be reelected. I know, I know, wishful thinking.
This is a post from a previous article.
I’m concerned that the American people are going to prove Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity; “Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.”
This is a list of United States Senators that are up for reelection. My guess… almost everyone on this list will be reelected.

“How I hate this administration.”
Count me in. It is presently in the process of destroying America. Put another way, we’re currently witnessing Obama’s third term with a complete puppet as nominal Chief Executive. I think all of this is part of a larger plan—and I say this as one who is overwhelmingly not a conspiracy type person, but every once in a while conspiracy theories are true, for instance what happened on 9/11. And happening now I believe.

“Biden Appoints Three Islamists to DHS Panel”
by Ryan Mauro
October 4, 2022
https://islamism.news/2022/10/04/biden-appoints-three-islamists-to-a-dhs-panel/
“The Biden Administration has appointed three Muslim leaders with Islamist backgrounds as advisors to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
On September 19, DHS announced the 25 members of its “reinvigorated” Faith-Based Security Advisory Council, which will provide “strategic, timely, specific and actionable advice to the Secretary on diverse homeland security matters.””
We will likely be seeing their ugly faces on this site in the future.
Dave says
The State Department is now officially on the side of taking no side. They are committed to having no commitment. They demonstrate a willingness to avoid demonstrating a willingness. They will however leave the door open to having an open door immigration policy that welcomes people who have not distanced themselves at all from pro-Jihad rhetoric.
