Shocking, yes.

Surprising, certainly not, especially given four years of the Obama Administration's pandering to Muslim groups ... often Islamic supremacists with numerous ties to jihad groups.

Robert Spencer writes:

[...] The overall thrust of the entire "TownHall Issues Conference," as is clear from its stated agenda, is to portray Muslims as the innocent victims of a bigoted, racist and "Islamophobic" government and law enforcement establishment that is unfairly scapegoating Muslims as a whole for the misguided deeds of a few on September 11, 2001. It will include no discussion of the many attempted jihad attacks against the U.S. since then, or of the successful ones, such as Nidal Malik Hasan's massacre at Fort Hood or Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad's murders outside a military recruiting station in Little Rock, Arkansas. Any and all scrutiny of the Muslim community in the U.S. will be portrayed as gratuitous and unwarranted. The assembled Democrats, meanwhile, will be falling all over themselves to promise that whatever domestic counter-terror apparatus the Obama administration has failed to dismantle during its first term will go under the knife during its second.

urbing aspect of the entire "Jumah at the DNC" is not the obvious victimhood-mongering of its agenda, but the people involved. The Democrats are playing host to an unsavory gang of Islamic supremacists with numerous ties to jihad groups. Even this is not surprising, but it should be a matter of concern to any Americans who are more aware of the jihad threat than the average politically correct Democrat pol.

Take, for example, BIMA spokesman Jibril Hough. Hough's mosque, the Islamic Center of Charlotte, is owned by a Muslim Brotherhood group, the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), which was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding case. When confronted about this on a radio show, Hough first professed not to be aware of the charges against NAIT, and then refused to disavow the organization, saying only that he himself was "not necessarily" a member of NAIT and: "I was not involved in the decision to allow NAIT to be the [title] holder."

Meanwhile, the "Grand Imam" for Jumah at the DNC is none other than Siraj Wahhaj. ...

[...] Wahhaj was several years ago designated a "potential unindicted co-conspirator" in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. ...Read the whole thing here.
