		<description><![CDATA[Debbie Wasserman Schultz caught in lie about involvement in radical Muslim fundraiser.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/debbie-wasserman-schultz.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-126327" title="debbie-wasserman-schultz" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/debbie-wasserman-schultz.gif" alt="" width="375" height="251" /></a>The day after an investigative piece we had written exposing the fact that Congresswoman and DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz was going to give the Keynote Address at an upcoming radical Muslim fundraiser, Wasserman Schultz cancelled her speech. Her office claimed that she had never agreed to do the event in the first place, but a newly released statement from the Islamist group’s leader proves that that was not true.</p>
<p>According to announcements which were placed on the website of EMERGE USA last month, Debbie Wasserman Schultz had been scheduled to give the Keynote Address at the group’s annual fundraising banquet, which was to be held in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, at the Marriott Fort Lauderdale North, on April 21st.</p>
<p>This, as was pointed out in our article, ‘<a href="../2012/02/27/debbie-wasserman-schultz-empowers-a-radical-muslim-fundraiser/">Debbie Wasserman Schultz Empowers a Radical Muslim Fundraiser</a>,’ was troubling, because, while EMERGE USA’s name sounds innocuous if not entirely patriotic, the group’s leadership consists of persons who spread bigotry against non-Muslims and who actively support terror-related individuals and organizations who target America and Israel.</p>
<p>The co-founder and spokesman of EMERGE, Khurrum Wahid, has given legal support to what would seem to be a who’s who of accused terrorists in America, including a man who threatened to assassinate President George W. Bush and two South Florida imams who were charged with sending at least $50,000 to the Taliban to murder American troops overseas. As well, Wahid is a former representative of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). In 2011, he landed on a U.S. government terrorist watch list.<strong></strong></p>
<p>The Executive Director of EMERGE, Nauman Sabit Abbasi, is the President of Public Relations for the Islamic Foundation of South Florida (IFSF), a radical mosque whose youth leader recently wrote on the internet, “[Y]es, Allah (SWT) has Decreed that we will over-take the World in numbers…”</p>
<p>The Field Coordinator of EMERGE, Laila Abdelaziz, belligerently asked President Barack Obama at a Tampa, Florida town hall meeting to condemn Israel for what she erroneously claimed were<strong> “</strong>human rights violations against the occupied Palestinian people.”</p>
<p>The co-founder and former Executive Director of EMERGE, Farooq Mitha, has spoken at events sponsored by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), an organization that has been named by the U.S. Justice Department as a party to the financing of Hamas, and the Center for American progress (CAP), an Obama-linked group that has been widely condemned for its propagation of anti-Semitism.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is the congresswoman helping to raise money for a group that wishes to destroy America?]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/wasserman-shultz.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-123665" title="wasserman-shultz" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/wasserman-shultz.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="476" /></a></p>
<p>A radical Muslim group with ties to the Obama Administration will be featuring the head of the Democratic National Committee, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, as the keynote speaker for its annual fundraising banquet this coming April. By agreeing to partake in the event, Wasserman Schultz is helping to further this organization&#8217;s nefarious agenda of placing Islamists into positions of American power and influence. It is this stealth <em>jihad</em> which threatens our country not from abroad, but from within.</p>
<p>EMERGE USA was founded as a non-profit corporation in the state of Florida, in November 2006, under its original name, Center for Voter Advocacy (CVA). In 2009, CVA merged with a Texas entity founded by current EMERGE board member and project manager of Shell Oil in Houston, Afaq J. Durrani, called the Coalition of New American Communities (CONAC). Apart from EMERGE, CVA still exists as a separate Florida corporation.</p>
<p>According to the organization’s mission statement, “EMERGE [Empowering Motivating Educating Resourceful Grassroots Entities] aims to politically empower and train its constituents to be effective community organizers and work in coalitions to advance beneficial policies and legislation that help protect and enforce the rights afforded by the United States Constitution.”</p>
<p>The mission, as does their name, sounds like a patriotic one attached to a noble cause. However, the extremism exhibited by the leaders of the group paints an entirely different picture – one of an organization with a sinister motive to place radicals within key circles of political power.</p>
<p>On Saturday, April 21st, the head of the Democratic Party, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, will be addressing EMERGE. The theme of the event is <a href="http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee431/kaufmanforcongress/Debbie%20Does%20EMERGE/DWS_EMERGE--banquetflyer04212012.jpg">“Investing in Tomorrow’s Leaders Today”</a> and will include entertainment and a <em>halal</em> dinner. The previous year, former Florida Governor and U.S. Senator Bob Graham spoke in front of the group.</p>
<p>Wasserman Schultz likes to flaunt her Jewish identity and (false) pro-Israel persona, but how can she begin to do so, when the organization she will be addressing maintains staff who display animosity towards the Jewish state?</p>
<p>Laila Abdelaziz, the Field Coordinator of EMERGE, denounced Israel in a question she posed to President Obama, during a January 2010 town hall meeting he held in Tampa, Florida. “[W]hy have we not condemned Israel and Egypt’s human rights violations against the occupied Palestinian people, and yet we continue supporting them financially with billions of dollars from our tax dollars?” she belligerently asked.</p>
<p>Before coming to EMERGE, Abdelaziz was the Project Coordinator for United Voices of America (UVA), a group founded and headed by Ahmed Bedier. Bedier, who had previously been involved with the Hamas-related Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), was embroiled in controversy when he helped facilitate an October 2010 fundraiser for U.S. Senator Bill Nelson. According to Nelson, whom Abdelaziz was once a staffer for, when he learned about past anti-Israel statements Bedier had made, he returned a $500 campaign contribution that Bedier gave to him.</p>
<p>On the announcement showing Wasserman Schultz as EMERGE USA’s keynote speaker, the RSVP contact for the event is listed as one Rasheed Shihada. On Shihada’s Facebook site, apart from containing a long rant he authored against Christians, he displays on his homepage a video put out this month calling for support of Israeli prisoner Khader Adnan, who according to Israel is a “senior member” of the terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).</p>
<p>This is only the tip of the iceberg with regard to extremism at EMERGE.</p>
<p>The Chairman and main face behind EMERGE is Khurrum Wahid, a practicing South Florida attorney. According to the Florida Bar, Wahid “has defended individuals charged with allegedly committing or conspiring to commit acts of terrorism…”</p>
<p>Some of Wahid’s clients include: Rafiq Abdus Sabir, who received a 25 year prison sentence for conspiring to provide material support to al-Qaeda; Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, who was given a life sentence for being a member of al-Qaeda and for plotting to assassinate President George W. Bush; and Hafiz Muhammed Sher Ali Khan, who is awaiting trial for conspiring with others to funnel at least fifty thousand dollars to the Pakistani Taliban for the purpose of murdering American troops overseas.</p>
<p>Wahid, as well, created a legal fund for Tashnuba Hayder, a girl who had been identified by the FBI as a potential suicide bomber and who was later deported to Bangladesh, as she was considered an imminent threat to the security of the United States. Currently, Wahid is soliciting funds on his law office&#8217;s website for the defense of his client Hafiz Khan (above) and his son Izhar Khan, whom Wahid calls a “rising star.”</p>

		<description><![CDATA[City youth fall into the hands of Muslim extremists.  ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/scouts.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65467" title="scouts" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/scouts.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Most Muslim extremists first radicalize their youth via sermon and brainwashing. One group, however, is skipping those steps and is taking the youngest of children right to the paramilitary route. But this group is not in Afghanistan or Iraq. No, it’s in Philadelphia, the so-called ‘City of Brotherly Love.’</p>
<p>The United Muslim Movement (UMM) was incorporated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in June 1994, with the goal of creating a central mosque in the city along with an organization that would be able to “respond to the social, economical, political, educational, and religious needs facing our [UMM’s] communities.” Less than four months later, in October 1994, its first mosque, the United Muslim Masjid, was opened.</p>
<p>The owner of the mosque property and the face behind UMM is music and real estate magnate <a href="http://97.74.65.51/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=29362">Kenneth Gamble</a>, a.k.a. Luqman Abdul Haqq.</p>
<p>In the mid-1970s, following a nervous breakdown over personal and professional troubles, Gamble began to turn to the Islamic religion, getting involved with such groups as the Nation of Islam (NOI). At the time, NOI was moving towards the leadership of Louis Farrakhan, a combative personality most known for his anti-white and anti-Jewish statements.</p>
<p>Today, Gamble is a member of the Board of Directors (Majlis ash-Shura) of the Muslim Alliance in North America (MANA), a Muslim Brotherhood-related group headed by Siraj Wahhaj, an “unindicted co-conspirator” of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Gamble has been involved with MANA’s leadership since the group was initially established as a national organization in April 2001, at the UMM mosque.</p>
<p>UMM has interests beyond the building of mosques. One of them deals with children’s activities – violence-based children’s activities.</p>
<p>Jawala Scouts or the Jawala Scout Youth Leadership Program, an Islamic paramilitary boys group, was incorporated in Philadelphia in August 2005. It was founded a short time before that.</p>
<p>The children joining Jawala Scouts are as young as seven years of age. This is disconcerting, when considering some of the activities of the group, which include hand-to-hand combat, firearms training and survival tactics. Photographs from the group’s official website show the kids dressed in military fatigues, hiking through the woods, and <a href="http://www.americansagainsthate.org/Jawala_Scouts.html">engaged in wrestling</a>.</p>
<p>What makes things worse are the type of individuals linked to Jawala Scouts. One is Carlin Saafir, the Legal Officer and 1st Lieutenant of the scouts. Saafir is also the President of UMM, a member of the UMM Masjid’s Board of Directors (General Council), and the Joint Community Outreach Chair of the Philadelphia office of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), an entity affiliated with the terrorist organization Hamas.</p>
<p>The Registrant, Administrator and Technical Contact of Jawala’s site is Curtis De Veaux. In February 2005, De Veaux was suspended without pay from his job as a Philadelphia firefighter for refusing to shave his beard – deemed a security hazard – arguing that it was part of his being a devout Muslim.</p>
<p>The e-mail contact associated with the Jawala site, haqqone@hotmail.com, appears to be that of Kenneth Gamble. That would make sense, as the group registered its corporation using the same physical address as UMM, 800 S. 15th Street.</p>
<p>Another organization associated with Jawala Scouts is the Sankore’ Institute of Islamic-African Studies International (SIIASI), an anti-Western preservation society for rare African Muslim manuscripts. According to the <em>Pittsburgh City Paper</em>, SIIASI “started” the scout program.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[An Army soldier stationed at Fort Hood gets involved with radical Muslim groups.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/fort.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56586" title="fort" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/fort.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="368" /></a></p>
<p>Army Specialist Zachari Klawonn is upset. He claims that there is a campaign of hate aimed at him coming from his fellow soldiers. He says that he is especially upset at them referring to him as “terrorist.” Yet, if this truly upsets him as much as he contends it does, how can he then reconcile his turning to groups <em>associated with terrorism,</em> specifically CAIR and its Florida political front, UVA?</p>
<p>Klawonn has a disturbing duality about him. While he dons Army green camos adorned by the Stars and Stripes, prior to relocating from his Fort  Hood digs, in his barracks prominently hung a black and white checkered keffiyeh, a symbol of anti-Western violence.</p>
<p>It is this duality that currently rules his life.</p>
<p>Klawonn, a 20-year-old Muslim, is intensely proud of his heritage. He flaunts his Islamic roots to a point which some could consider provocative. <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/gallery/2010/03/23/GA2010032304398.html">On his wall, next to his keffiyeh</a>, was placed a 5’ x 3’ Moroccan flag. As well, his room contained a Qur’an (draped by his ‘dog tags’) and prayer rug, visible to all.</p>
<p>For Klawonn, his strong attachment to his religion was both a blessing and a curse – a curse because, according to him, others target him for it, calling him horribly offensive names. This was especially the case, following the massacre that took place at Fort  Hood perpetrated by fellow Muslim soldier Nidal Malik Hasan.</p>
<p>On November 5, 2009, Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, opened fire at a soldier processing center (Soldier Readiness Facility), murdering 13 and injuring over 30 others. The victims of the attack were getting ready to be deployed overseas. At the time, Hasan, himself, was soon to be deployed to Afghanistan.</p>
<p>Hasan was shot four times and apprehended. Two other suspects were taken into custody and later released.</p>
<p>According to the <em>Washington Post,</em> in an <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/23/AR2010032303766.html">article about Klawonn’s alleged troubles</a>, Klawonn was heading to the scene of the shooting, when the shooting commenced. It states, “Klawonn was there, too… His unit had just returned from Korea and was headed to the site of the shootings, a soldier processing center, when the killing began.”</p>
<p>According to the piece, Klawonn was “pressed” to explain the “brutal act and extremist philosophy” of Hasan. Klawonn said that, while he did not “sympathize” with Hassan, he “secretly felt an understanding of at least some of the pressures Hasan faced.” According to reports, Hasan faced a similar type of treatment Klawonn is alleging himself.</p>
<p>Klawonn stated, “[W]hen I read about the discrimination he experienced, I have to say, I can believe it. It doesn&#8217;t excuse what he did, but it explains maybe a tiny part of it. He was a high-ranking officer. A major. At that level, you demand respect…”</p>
<p>Since he enlisted, Klawonn has personally filed a number of complaints with his commanders about what he perceives as intolerant acts against him. He says that one of the toughest things he has had to endure is his fellow soldiers referring to him as “terrorist.” This is dubious, however, as Klawonn has begun to associate himself with groups connected to terrorism.</p>
<p>One of these groups is CAIR or the Council on American-Islamic Relations.</p>
<p>CAIR was founded by Hamas operatives in June 1994, and from 2007 through 2008, CAIR was named by the U.S. Justice Department a party to the financing of millions of dollars to Hamas.</p>
<p>Klawonn solicited CAIR to write a letter on his behalf to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, complaining of the Army’s treatment of him.</p>
<p>Another group Klawonn has gotten involved with is United Voices for America (UVA), an organization headed by the former Executive Director of CAIR-Tampa and former “unofficial spokesman” for convicted terrorist Sami al-Arian, Ahmed Bedier.</p>
<p>Klawonn, at the behest of his mother, Mina, attended one of UVA’s events this past March 11th. His mom had “collapsed in tears,” when she found out that he had joined the U.S. millitary, and his friends and mosque associates were more than concerned that he was “going to kill fellow Muslims,” so it was probably important to all of them for Klawonn to get involved in a radical Muslim group like UVA.</p>
<p>The event was titled Muslim Capitol Day, and it took place in Tallahassee,  Florida. According to UVA, the purpose of it was to lobby the state legislature on such universal issues as education reform and stimulation of the economy, but overshadowing those alleged objectives were two separate <a href="../2010/03/24/assault-at-muslim-capitol-day-2/">assaults that were carried out during Muslim Capitol Day</a> by one of UVA’s members, Bassem Alhalabi.</p>
<p>Alhalabi, who had previously been found guilty of shipping U.S. military equipment to Syria, was charged with one count of battery. A warrant was issued for Alhalabi’s arrest on March 19th, and on March 22nd, he was taken into custody by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.</p>
<p>Ironically, just as in the case of Klawonn being on his way to the soldier processing center when the Hasan massacre began, <a href="http://www.americansagainsthate.org/Zachari_Klawonn_and_Bassem_Alhalabi.html">Klawonn was photographed next to Alhalabi</a> at a UVA luncheon held shortly before <em>Alhalabi’s attacks</em> took place.</p>
<p>Of course, these things might be nothing more than mere coincidences – cases of being at the wrong place at the wrong time – but his recent experiences in high school were nothing of the sort.</p>
<p>In 2008, Klawonn wrote and performed rap songs with a group of teens from his hometown, Bradenton,  Florida, which, according to a district spokesperson, <a href="http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20080606/NEWS/806060407?Title=No-grad-stage-for-racy-rapper">“threatened bodily harm”</a> and contained “mention of weapons.” One of the lyrics discussed “taking a knife” to a school administrator. Disciplinary action was taken against many of the participants.</p>
<p>Klawonn’s friends who were involved in making these songs were from Braden  River  High School, the school that Klawonn was expelled from one year earlier, after police discovered a gun in the car he was driving on campus.</p>
<p>All of this is a concern, as, according to the <em>Washington Post,</em> Klawonn is “at the top [of his unit] in weapons qualifications and is the only one in his battalion to be invited to try out for the Special Forces.” Furthermore, Klawonn suffers from bouts of depression and has had to see a psychiatrist at least six times since enlisting.</p>
<p>No doubt, all of this must give his superiors pause. Indeed, his Fort  Hood commanders have stated that he fits a “similar mold” to terrorist Nidal Hasan.</p>
<p>Now, Klawonn says that he will devote the remaining two years he has committed to the Army to fight for the rights of Muslims in the military. That seems like a dangerous proposition, given his activity with pro-terror organizations. In the very least, CAIR and UVA will use him as a pawn to do lasting harm to the military.</p>
<p>Of course, no one wishes to discuss the worst case scenario…</p>
