Muzammil Siddiqi
The Orange County Human Relations Commission, led by an empty suit named Rusty Kennedy, is once again showing what a bunch of politically-correct hypocrites they are. This white elephant agency, which has been sucking up about $300,000 a year from the OC tax-payers, has shown over and over again that their idea of fighting hate is quite selective.
Here are some items to consider:
1 Anti-Jewish hate speech at UC Irvine. In 2008, I wrote to Kennedy complaining about anti-Semitic hate speech at UC-Irvine, where I work. I also harshly criticized the university for not addressing the issue. Kennedy wrote back lambasting me for daring to criticize the university.
2 On March 10, Kennedy and his apparatchiks held a meeting (They meet once a month) and later issued a report criticizing in broad general terms the people who held a protest event at the Islamic Circle of North America dinner on February 13 in Yorba Linda, when some hecklers showed up to chant at the dinner attendees when they arrived-something the organizers and speakers at the protest had not sanctioned in any way. The OCHRC said not a word about the reason for the protest-the presence of two radical featured speakers, Amir Abdel Malik Ali and Siraj Wahhaj. They basically did the bidding of CAIR.
3 Now we learn that the OCHRC is going to hold their 40th anniversary gala in which they will honor Imam Muzammil Siddiqi, a former head of the Islamic Society of North America, a man who, in the 1990s, actually hosted the so-called (and now imprisoned) Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel Rahman, at his mosque in Orange County and actually interpreted his words as he gave a sermon on (violent) Jihad.

Siddiqi, to be sure, is one of those who foster an image of moderation. He is accepted into the highest political circles and participates in those interfaith dialogues we hear all about. A couple of years back, I attended one at Chapman University and listened to his double talk. Hit him with a hard question and he does a tap dance. Yet, he is on record as envisioning the day when shariah law will govern the world. This is the Investigative Project on Terrorism entry for Siddiqi:

That is the man the OCHRC is honoring on May 5th. It is outrageous.
But hardly surprising.
Again, the OCHRC makes a big mistake by honoring a hardline Islamist like Muammil Siddiqi. Rusty Kennedy should have his head examined! Further, why is the OC County spending hard earned tax dollars ($300,000) to support sharia. The ICNA is a Muslim Brotherhood creation which wants to see our U.S. Constitution supplanted by sharia law. Is this what Kennedy wants?
ReplyDeleteTonight, there is a protest in Villa Park to protest the against the OC Community leaders for showing up and revealing the radical jhadist Malik Ali, who spoke at that fund raiser.
Here are the organizors and supporters that reveals the Muslim Brotherhood support as well as at least four George Soros funded hard-left NGOs.
This rally was initiated by the Islamic Circle of North America. Co-sponsored by Islamic Shura Council of Southern California, ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), Students Fight Back, Easy Yolk Progressive Christianity, LA Jews for Peace, Los Amigos of Orange County, Orange County Peace Coalition, CODEPINK, Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace, ANSWER Club in O.C., Jewish Voices for Peace.

ReplyDeleteThe relevant question is in what manner he expects shariah law to be established. If he's waiting for God to take care of it in God's own good time, that's fine with me.
There are plenty of Christians who envision the day when "Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord." That too would violate the First Amendment, unless of course Jesus cracks the sky and establishes it in person, in which case the Constitution of the United States would be a dead letter.
Meantime, if you have evidence this guy is one of those who want to give God a helping hand, in the delusion that piety grows out of the barrel of a gun, that would be a matter of concern.
As to OCHRC, there is no reason to fund any government appendage to make such awards. Abolish it, and let the awards be made by the private sector.
