Muslim Congressional Staffers Host Iftar Event on Capitol Hill

The Islamic dawah and infiltration by stealth Islamists is non-stop. The sheer number of events, many on government property at taxpayer expense, and elected officials meeting with groups with known terrorist ties is astonishing.  Here’s another one from the Muslim Link.

The Congressional Muslim Staffers Association (CMSA) held their annual iftar in the Rayburn Building on Capitol Hill on September 9, 2009, attracting about 1,000 guests from the Muslim community.

Founded in 2006 by Jameel-Aalim Johnson, former chief of staff to Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), the organization has made the annual iftar a major networking event for Muslim community and political activists. Congressional representatives as well as officials from embassies from the Muslim world attend.

Minnesota Muslim Representative Keith Ellison and Indiana Muslim Representative Andre Carson hosted the pre-dinner reception.

John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) spoke early and at length on the history and value of hate crime legislation.

At the Capitol Hill reception, Pandith lauded the Muslim congressional staffers.

“I came to Washington in the 1990s, and the idea that there would be this many Muslim congressional staffers on [Capitol Hill] blows my mind. What you are doing for our country is so profound,” she said.

Other diplomats in attendance included Pakistan Deputy Chief Of Mission Muhammad Aslam Khan, Qatar’s Ambassador Ali Bin Fahad Al-Hajri, Senegal’s Ambassador Amadou Lamine Ba, and other dignitaries and embassy staff.

Around a dozen members of congress attended the hour long reception including representatives Barbra Lee (D-CA), Mike Honda (D-CA), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and Nita Lowey (D-NY), addressing the gathering for a few minutes each. Lowey is a powerful member of the House Appropriations Committee and a key advocate of the massive annual U.S. aid package to Israel.

Michael McMahon (D-NY13) said he is proud his district has the second fasted growing Muslim population in the nation, and added he has two Muslims on his staff.

Muslim representative Andre Carson  (D-IN) asked the Muslim attendees to take note of the members of Congress who attended.

“Though I’m not a religious man, seeing these members of congress showing their support is so wonderful … we should abstain from those [politicians] who only want to deal with [the Muslim community] when its expedient for them. They want to get our votes and our [financial] support, but when the cameras are on, they distance themselves from us,” he said to applause.

Before the call to prayer, Al-Huda School fourth grader Eimaan Miyian recited Surah Qadr and read its translation. Dates were passed around as a congressional staffer made the call to prayer, and then Imam Naqvi of the Idara-e-Jafria center offered a brief reminder on the importance of Ramadhan. ADAMS Imam Muhammad Magid led maghrib prayer and about 200 reception attendees joined several hundred more Muslims in the House of Representatives cafeteria for a buffet dinner.

Muslim activists present included representatives from area masajid, national Muslim organizations, relief organizations, advocacy groups and political organizations.

If Andre Carson is not a religious person, then he is a political Muslim or an Islamist, and his agenda should be obvious, as noted by his comments above.

The founder of the Muslim Congressional Staffers – Jameel-Aalim Johnson, former chief of staff to Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) – has been involved in inviting terror-linked individuals to speak on Capitol Hill in the past – as we told you about here.

And the ADAMS Center mentioned – is the All Dulles Area Muslim Society – which has been raided for terrorist activity.

Magid, who was born and educated in the Sudan, is the Director of the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS). ADAMS has numerous close affiliations with the main targets of “Operation Green Quest,” “the largest U.S. terror finance investigation anywhere in the world.” In March 2002, federal agents raided ADAMS’s facility in Herndon, Virginia, as part of an investigation into financial support for terrorism. Federal affidavits state that the “Grove Street addresses” (500 and 555 Grove St. in Herndon) housed more than 100 interlocking Muslim organizations, most headed by Jamal Barzinji, and these groups gave material aid to terrorists. Among those raided were several major ADAMS associates, including its chairman. Magid himself was present when federal agents raided the Herndon offices of ADAMS in March 2002.  MIM

We told you about the Muslim Congressional Staffers conquering of Capitol Hill many times from turning a room into a mosque, attempting to fill 8,000 open positions through Keith Ellison, getting resumes of Muslims delivered directly to Obama, and meeting with terror-linked CAIR.
