Awad chides his audience, complaining that “the Muslim community today is not scientific in designing its future.”
In reality, however, the Muslim community has been more “scientific” about “designing its future” than virtually every other community. It has systematically worked to gain political power and influence, in just the same way Awad is recommending that it do here. This is because of the inherent political and supremacist character of Islam. One must have the power to establish dominance and maintain that dominance.
“CAIR Executive-Director Nihad Awad: We Have Been Working To Eliminate And Change Public School Textbooks That Defame Islam And Our Prophet; Our Community Should Produce An Army Of Activists Who Will Design Our Image, Protect The Truth, Run For Public Office,” MEMRI, August 30, 2024:
Executive director of CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Nihad Awad introduced in his August 30, 2024 Friday sermon at the East Plano Islamic Center in Texas a plan to create scholarship for Muslims in the fields of journalism, law, political science, and history. He said that the uncommitted movement was not enough to change the policies of Vice President Kamala Harris, but creating an “army” of 50,000 journalists, lawyers, and members of the academia, who will potentially run for public office, can create 40-50 Muslim members of the U.S. Congress in ten years. Awad claimed that Islamophobia is deep-rooted in American culture, in Hollywood, and literature and that this influences public policies. He shared that CAIR has been working to eliminate and change textbooks in public schools that portray Islam and the Prophet Muhammad negatively. Awad said that the Muslim community “is ready to move to the next phase.” The sermon was streamed live on EPIC Masjid on YouTube.
Nihad Awad: “The uncommitted movement sent a powerful message, (so much so) that even the tone of the vice president has changed, but did it change enough? It did not. Did it change the policies? It did not.
[…]
“There is Islamophobia (in the U.S.) that is so deeply-rooted in the culture, in academia, in Hollywood, in the portrayal of Islam. For hundreds of years, Islam has been denigrated, the Prophet has been smeared and defamed in books and textbooks that were taught in public schools, that Allah be praised, we have been working to eliminate and change.
[…]
“The Muslim community – Allah has blessed us, including you – we are affluent, we are vibrant, we are educated, we are well-to-do, and we are ready to move to the next phase.
[…]
“We have to dedicate professional resources to inform the public systematically about this faith. Imagine if you are a CEO of a company, you will have a budget for marketing.
[…]
“Brothers and sisters, Islam deserves more from us. Islam deserves a scientific approach to inform the public about Islam.
[…]
“Hollywood has produced over 1000 movies scientifically designed to portray you as the villain, and it impacted the attitudes of many people in our society. Look at the books, look at literature. We have a mountain of things that we need to confront.
[…]
“I call upon our Muslim community to be as scientific. The Muslim community today is not scientific in designing it [sic] future.
[…]
“If we commit to do this, four years from now, the Muslim community will have 4,000 new journalists, we will have 4,000 filmmakers, 4,000 lawyers, 4,000 students of political science, 4,000 students of history. The next year we will have another 4,000.
“15 years from now, the Muslim community will have 50,000 an army of these people. They will design our image, they will protect the truth and the news, most likely many of these people will run for public office and they will become lawmakers.”
“We can have in ten years, at least 40-50 members of Congress, in the U.S. Congress.”

The whole purpose of islam, the “wild beast” inspired by the devil, is to bring mankind and the Earth to ruin; to subject all persons to the evil rule of that demon serpent.

Instead, the nations are being gathered to Armageddon

One of the goals that this Muslim CAIR chief is expressing that Muslims need to and should by ever possible means the Public view on Islam across the United States, This is called “Impression management”
This may be done through Muslim infiltration and influence in the media, the movie business, public elementally and high school as well as American universities and colleges, This has tragically alreadly been terribly successful. Nevertheless the stealth jihadists still want to achieve even for for the advancement of Islam and its Sharia in every aspect and place in the US

By it’s nature islam is a subversive insurrectionist ideology. Islam is not compatible with our US Constitution or our laws. Cair is the head of the islamic beast in the USA. They think they have fooled everyone but they haven’t. Some will say the known truth out loud. Many many others know but keep what they already know and believe on the down low. Clandestine if you will. Many Americans are on to you cair. If you guys get in a shooting war with Americans be advised, when we get to it we are not Israelis.

If they want to build extensive underground bunkers we have experience and an answer for that. Satchel charges and flamethrowers. We have done it before but unlike the past, this time it will be different. Different because muslims will use the weak vulnerable non compliant as human shields. That’s how those brave jihadists roll.

It wasn’t until the 1950s that Muslims were allowed to be in congress. The goal of every devout Muslim is to conquer the world by any means necessary. People who want to overthrow our system of government should not be allowed to have public office.

Israel was forced to fight against Hamas with one hand tied behind its back by US State Department whch has funded Hamas to the tune of millions opf $. It wouldn’t suprise me if our Staties, (former oil company execs serving as Arabists in State Department) are not now feathering the nest of big oil with promises and money to CAIR.
tgusa says
The US State Departments position is often in conflict with a majority of the general population. Israel should consider opinions of the US general population and ignore the State Departments advise. The people can see it all, right or wrong, fair or unfair. Outside of the smaller diplomatic world the State Department lives in. The American people are wiser than that in spite of the non stop onslaught of bs coming from the enemedia.

Walter Sieruk says
That CAIR head what he spoke that he hope’s to “in ten years to have at least forty to fifty members of CAIR in the US Congress” .
That very ambitious Islamic goal is something that the stealth jihadists would be very eager to achieve.
If they will be able to accomplish that they will take advantage of the ignorance and indifference of many Americans have about the terrible reality about Islam and it’s Sharia .
Therefore with great Islamic patience they will attempt to gradually in the stealth political jihad in degrees in slow but but determined successive steps, even if it’s “inch by inch ” in many politically insidious ways reach that goal in ten years .
If Kamala Harris , “by hook or by crook ” does become the next President , we may all be sadly sure that with her comrades ofthe Red /Green alliance who will enter the White House with her , that CAIR objective to be reached
tgusa says
What you wrote touches on why most of their attacks are on everyday citizens and not the connected powers that be. You wont see them attack congress or the fbi headquarters or any other establishment types or places because that would be counter productive. So they go along raping stabbing blowing up the non connected. The non connected are expendable in the eyes of the establishment types which makes it very dangerous for all of us non establishment types. The establishment is full of cowards. The establishment think they can avoid all of it if they do nothing. They are wrong. It might be awhile but it will eventually bite them in their cowardly asses.

“First, they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t Jewish.”
“Then, they came for the Communists, Socialists and trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I didn’t belong to any of those groups.”
“Then, they came for the Roman Catholics, and again I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.”
“Finally, when they came for me, there was no one left to speak up for me.”
So, let’s speak up for, and do everything we can do to support the Hindus, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, German women, Israeli Druze children, and everyone else who is being oppressed, abused and persecuted by Islamofascists!

There is a direct correlation between fighting muslims and PTSD. That is because muslims fight in a way that makes good and decent people do things that they wouldn’t ordinarily do. They force it on you through their reprehensible war fighting style. They hope that you are weak and wont be able to do what you have to do, what they have forced you to do, to destroy them. The consequences are all on them because they leave us no other option. If you keep that in mind you may very well avoid any PTSD after effects.

I think often of Clint Eastwood as the nameless stranger taking out the bad guys….and not for dinner. He never looked back as if to…even for a moment….feel bad about what he had done.
I know it’s fiction, but there are elements of it that people should know for their own good.
When someone is out to kill you….for no good reason…self-defense is not something for which to feel sorry. And mozlums are out to kill us….for evil reasons.
tgusa says
You have to always remember the reason behind what you had to do. Think about the people you saved as a result of your actions. How many might you have saved, who knows, make up a number because you have to know that you did save some. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. But without a doubt, no question, eventually.
tgusa says
Some people can deal with the horror that goes along with islam while some others can’t. In comparison to Clint taking out the bad guys of then and the bad guys of today. Clint’s guys were bad guys but not anywhere close to the bad bad bad (widespread and random homicidal maniacs) types we ourselves face today. And there’s a whole lot more of them than the nameless stranger encountered. So much for dinner, I guess.
Walter Sieruk says
Many Americans need to become aware of the terrible number of things that are wrong with Islam and its Sharia.
Likewise . many Americans also need to understand the political aspirations of the stealth jihadists to have many of their own in the United States Congress.
For there should never be allow any person in the of is even half Sharia-minded ,let alone totally Sharia minded.in the US Congress
In relation to this are the words of wisdom spoken by the former US President, Theodore Roosevelt , who in a speech had ,rightly, declared ” There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room for here for only one hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”
Westman says
It’s unfortunate, Nihad Awad, that Muslims came to the wrong nation if they think Islam will ever be thought, “normal”, considering its current world behavior. It is more foreign to normalcy than Tom Cruise’s Scientology.
Frankly you’ve got the wrong idea that a religion is more important and independent of the character of the men professing it. Cruise is known for his own personality and behavior. His religion adds nothing to his recognition and instead, he is actually improving the image of the religion.
As long as there are a significant number of men carrying out mayhem, terror, and limiting the freedom of women in the name of Islam, it will never have the respect desired in America. The character of the men who follow a religion is the face of that religion and any lawfare to force respect might succeed on paper yet will totally fail in the human mind of the free. Got it?

“We Have Been Working To Eliminate And Change Public School Textbooks That Defame Islam And Our Prophet…”
In other words change school textbooks that tell the truth about Islam today which happens to be very similar to Islam in the 8th Century.
All they have to do is clone Senator Schumer 50 times and you have a pro-Muslim agenda Congress lead by a Jew!!!!
Mike says
An honest school textbook would clearly (and accurately) mention how the Muslim slave trade of Black Africans was ten times worse, and far more brutal overall, than the trans-Atlantic slave trade of Blacks, that Western nations were responsible for.
Please watch the medium-short video, “The Hidden Slave Trade that Arab Nations are Trying to Cover Up” (youtube)
There were also at least several million white Europeans who were kidnapped and enslaved by Muslim groups such as the Barbary Pirates.

NATIONAL SECURITY…/And Shariah For All?
Diana West |Posted: Sep 15, 2007
The story of the week wasn’t Gen. David Petraeus’ testimony on Iraq, although it dominated the headlines. The story of the week wasn’t the sixth return of Sept. 11 since the jihad atrocity of 2001, although it inspired many public statements and ceremonies. The week’s biggest story garnered little press and few comments. But, in a significant way, this overlooked story — an outrageous display of police force in Brussels on Sept. 11, 2007 — symbolizes the missing link in our flawed comprehension of both Iraq and Sept. 11.
There, in the so-called capital of Europe, 200 people marked the day with a protest against the Islamization of Europe — a civilizational shift which, as Europe increasingly accommodates Shariah (Islamic law), is shockingly advanced. Indeed, Middle East expert Bernard Lewis has already predicted Europe will become Islamic by century’s end. Absent a reversal of Islamization (which remains possible) I’m guessing sooner than that.
The assembly, sponsored by Stop the Islamization of Europe (SIOE), was wholly peaceful — at least until Belgian police showed up. With a chopper above, water cannon nearby, they didn’t break heads, exactly — nothing so kind as that. In a photo that should be titled The New Face of Fascism (see it at http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/2441), we see black-clad Belgian policemen brutalizing a man in a light-colored suit and tie. His hands are cuffed behind his back, his right elbow is clasped in what is known as an arm-bar hold, and he is also being subjected to a genital hold — a vicious grip that, a retired cop friend of mine tells me, would get any American policeman thrown off the force.
The man under arrest was Frank Vanhecke, president of the Flemish secessionist party Vlaams Belang and a member of European Parliament. Also arrested and beaten was Filip Dewinter, who, as the leading politician of Vlaams Belang, Belgium’s largest opposition party, has personally garnered 25 percent of the electorate. (You can find a picture of Belgian police forcing Dewinter to the ground online at kleinverzet.blogspot.com.)
These men are invariably described as “far-right” politicians, as though “far-right”-ness alone (whatever that means when totalitarian police tactics are considered tolerant left) is rationale enough for harsh treatment. I’ve met both men and know them as free-market, small-government conservatives who deeply believe Western civilization is worth defending against the Islamization that occurs with the entrenchment of Shariah. Indeed, they are bravely trying to prevent Europe’s Islamization, practically by themselves. I say “bravely” because in Europe these days, as we know from the Islam-motivated murders of Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh, such beliefs can get you killed.
Maybe so, a reader might say. But what does protesting Shariah in Europe have to do with either American policy in Iraq or Sept. 11?
The answer is everything. What were the attacks of Sept. 11 all about? Al Qaeda’s terrorist plot was designed not only to strike at the United States, but also to advance the cause of establishing an Islamic caliphate — a world government ruled according to Shariah, which, among other things, forbids criticism of Islam. Polls indicate that sizable numbers of Muslims (solid majorities in key countries), regardless of their opinion of Al Qaeda, share this same goal of a Shariat-based, Islamic caliphate. This is a highly significant overlap between the goals of Islamic terrorism and what we think of as mainstream Islam.
Meanwhile, though, in our childish, PC wisdom (accepted across the political spectrum), we have let Islam off the hook when it comes to terrorism, sticking to the story that our whole problem is with a Tiny Band of Extremists That Hijacked Islam, not the jihadist teachings of Islam itself. To make the story stick, we also seem to ignore the impetus behind Islamic terrorism — the imposition of Shariah, what with its ultimate institutional denigrations of non-Muslims and women, and its denial of freedom of conscience and expression.
This blinkered view of Islam explains how even in our commemorations of Sept. 11 we ignore the ongoing threat to liberty posed by the spread of Shariah across the West, which the SIOE was trying to protest. It even helps explain our confusion over Iraq, where, ignoring the formative influence of Shariah on the native culture, we are stumped by our failures to remake Iraq in our own Western image.
There is another consequence of our blindness: a terrible indifference to cultural allies in Europe who are fighting its Islamization — a cataclysm for the liberty-based West.
We ignore them at our peril.

Ibrahim Hooper a muslim convert and former Director of Communications for CAIR, once said in a public interview that CAIRS’s goao was to ultimately replace the constitution w/sharia law, but not not thru violence but Dawa, the process of education..of educating the non musims about the superior way of life afforded by the acceptacne of Sharia and the muslime view of the world. Americans would come to see islams superiority and convert(the necessity of killing those who refuse to convert was never mentioned). CAIR and its acolytes and allies on the left, have been following a plan devised long ago by the marxists in the frankfort school and develoved by the italian communist, Antonio Gramsci…that is the march thru the institutions…The marxist having realized after WW 1 that marx’s theory had failed..began to search for a new paradigm that would replace the old one of relicnce on the proletariat as a revolutionary class…it was recognized that econimics was not the defining characteristic of revolutionary conciousness…so the new paradigm became the educational and cultural institutions. Educating the young into this new cultural paragidm became the way marxism would replace capitalism …by starting w/the schools, the educated classes would “march” thru the institutions of governance and ultimately take over govt and all of its supporting institutions…no need to fire a shot…The islamists now understand this principle as well, which is why they are embedding themselves in the various curruculum committees in school distraicts across the U.S…They now understand as Niwad does, that getting cheildren in the very beginning stages of the educational process prepares them to accept all of the marsixt as well as ismakist notions of governance w/o questioning their efficacy or even reality…we are seeing such a phenomena now on the campuses of the elite educational institutions across this contry as pro hamas and pro islam demonstartions paralyze these schools. The ideological merging of marxism w/islamism is beginning to show itself…the red/reen axis so much talked about has finally emerged in open rebellion and anticipates the ultimate conquest of western judeo culture at some future point in time. This as hamas has said..is only the beginning. CAIR’s timeline lays out a plan for this takeover..in the end of course, marxism is no more compatible w/islamis that Judeo-Christian culture is and the marxist will be wipped out as well…but until that time the “enemy of my enemy is my friend” The one good thing the islamist do is they tell us straight out how they plan to eliminate us….now is the time to start listening and to begin to do a bit of “dawa” ourselves.Now is the time to engage the “enemy” We have no time to lose.

this reads like another cair hoax…..barracks was “closed”….’cameras facing the wrong way,’
and no real damage as they say they ‘don’t know what was used….gun, bb gun. And yet, they want the fbi to come and investigate.
because ” This recent attack on a Muslim house of worship is “especially concerning,” Haider said, as mosques are meant to be the place where people “feel the most safe and comfortable and vulnerable.”’
“safe’ and yet, “vulnerable.”
“Group calls for hate crime investigation”
“CHICAGO — After possible bullet holes were discovered at the Muslim Community Center this week, the Chicago office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations announced Saturday that they are calling upon police to investigate the incident as a potential hate crime.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations wrote in their news release that the “targeted act of violence” against the mosque “appears to be yet another attack aimed at the Muslim community.” Established in 1969, the Muslim Community Center in Irving Park is one of the oldest and largest Muslim organizations in Chicago.
According to Saif Mazhar, chair of the security committee for the Muslim Community Center, office staff first found what looked like bullet holes on the building’s glass doors during Labor Day weekend. When multiple new holes were found on Tuesday two days later, Mazhar said he then realized that the mosque was being targeted.
The community has since been very “shaken up,” Mazhar said. On Thursday, he reached out to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to request they look into the incident as a potential hate crime, concurrent to the Chicago Police Department’s own investigation.
“We don’t want to be targeted again,” Mazhar said. “What we would like is for the FBI to really investigate the situation, as we’re citizens too. We live here as well. We’re American too. So we don’t want to be the ‘others’… we want to be part of the same team.”
Damage to the front windows and doors of the Muslim Community Center was reported to police at approximately 6 a.m. on Tuesday, according to the Chicago Police Department. No offenders have been taken into custody and detectives are investigating the incident, police said Saturday.
Chicago police could not provide comment on whether the incident is specifically being investigated as a hate crime.
However, leaders of CAIR-Chicago reiterated that the choice to damage a mosque was likely not made at random.
“It’s unclear what the source of what look like bullet holes is, whether a gun, a BB gun, or something else, but what seems clear is that the person who inflicted this damage on a Muslim house of worship did not come in peace,” wrote Ahmed Rehab, executive director of CAIR-Chicago, in their Saturday news release. “This attack is not just on a building; it is an attack on the Muslim community’s safety and right to worship freely.”
The vandalism of the Muslim Community Center occurred at night when the mosque was closed, Mazhar said. Security footage did not capture the incident, he said, as the cameras were not directly facing the doors.”

I think the human imagination is a powerful part of our brain, not often explained or even characterized correctly. The imagination combined with some literature, the power of suggestion and lots of peer pressure can create a movement that may have originally been based on smoke and mirrors. That appears to be what happened here. So, if we judge that movement (above) by its FRUITS, we instantly see lots of folly, lots of abuse, lots of killing and a huge power struggle throughout the world. Sad. Maybe over time, many of those followers will see the hypocrisy between what is claimed to be a religion and what is now more of a bizarre cult. The biggest losers are women and children (more than half their population)….so most likely it will TAKE their women and children to create the Do-Over.
