Another American Joins ISIS

Hussam Ayloush

"Only 20."

Hat tip Counter Jihad Report, Investigative Project on Terrorism and Creeping Sharia


CAIR's Southern California director, Hussam Ayloush will have to once again revise his estimate of "20" Americans who have joined ISIS. An Alabama woman, only two years out of high school, has run off to join the terror group. Her family is represented by CAIR's Tampa, Florida director, Hassan Shibley. He says the family is decimated by this development.



As for Hoda (lnu), Creeping Sharia has a report that identifies her. Her full name is Hoda Muthana (20). Mote than joining ISIS, Muthana has reportedly tweeted messages calling for the assassination of President Obama and attacks against Americans during patriotic parades.

Ironically, Shibley is a questionable figure to speak on this issue. While he presents himself as a moderate, others are critical of him and his past statements. Here is today's report, which includes a recent interview of Shibley by Fox's Megyn Kelly.

More to the point, the Investigative Project on Terrorism has an unflattering portrait of Shibley including a report of Shibley supporting the US-State Dept.-designated terror group Hizbollah and reportedly expressing a desire as a college student to go  to Lebanon when they were fighting Israel  (driving ambulances and distributing and medicine).

“Hezbollah is basically a resistance movement supported by people in Lebanon, both Muslims and Christians. It is not merely a military institution; it provides a lot of social services for people of all different faiths,” said Shibly. “They’re absolutely not a terrorist organization; their targets have always been military targets. They wear uniforms and operate overtly. Under American just war theory, since they have a political base and popular support from the people, any war against them is illegitimate.”

Hizbollah is widely viewed as being behind the bombing of the US Marine barracks in Lebanon in 1983 that killed over 200 Marines and French soldiers although they (Hizbollah) did not announce their founding until 1985. 

This news comes immediately after the arrest of 6 Somalis attempting to leave the country to join ISIS. So now we await the next such report.

Are you keeping count, Mr. Ayloush?

CAIR Official Visits White House

Hat tip Frontpage Magazine


Hassan Shibley is a high-ranking CAIR official in Florida. Coincidentally, I posted a piece on Shibley just last month.

Even setting Shibley aside, the White House has no business inviting anybody from CAIR. This organization is still listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation trial in Dallas that involved Islamic charity money being diverted to terrorist organizations. The FBI broke off contact with CAIR a few years ago. This is the same organization whose San Francisco director, Zahra Billoo, put out fliers that encouraged American Muslims not to talk to the FBI and to slam their doors on them. In addition, CAIR has documented ties to the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt.

And these people get invited to the White House?

CAIR's March 23 Fundraiser in LA

As previously reported, the Southern California chapter of CAIR will be holding yet another fundraiser on March 23, in which Minnesota Congresswoman  Ilhan Omar (D) will be a featured speaker. In the wake of her recent anti-Jewish statements, it is no coincidence that CAIR, whose SoCal director, Hussam Ayloush, has his own history of anti-Jewish statements, would host this already disgraced freshman member of Congress.


Ilhan Omar


But it gets worse. Also appearing at this annual whoopey is CAIR's Florida director, Hassan Shibly, a supporter of Hizbollah, also no stranger to controversy. Shibly is most recently in the news because he is representing none other than Hoda Muthana, the woman who went off to join ISIS and now wants to return back to the US. Presently, the Department of State is refusing to allow her to return. There is a dispute as to whether she is a legitimate US citizen. Shibly argues that she is a citizen and should be allowed to return.

I had forgotten, but Muthana came up in Fousesquawk back in 2015 when she left the US. Back then, Shibley, who is an attorney, was representing the Muthana family in Alabama.



But how coincidental that Ayloush, who back in 2015 was speaking at an event entiltled, "The Crisis of ISIS" in Garden Grove and was complaining that everybody was talking about the "about 20" Muslim Americans who had gone off to join ISIS in Iraq and Syria while nobody was talking about the "thousands" of Jewish American men who had joined the Israel Defense Forces "killing the people of Gaza". And now he is hosting the very man representing one of those jihadists. Small world, indeed.

And returning to Omar, it has recently been disclosed that back in 2016, she was writing to a judge arguing for leniency for 9 Muslims who had been arrested for trying to join ISIS themselves.

Given the natuire of the personalities at this March 23 event, I guess the theme will be something along the lines of, "Bring our troops home."
