Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, warned that Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) are “normalizing” Islamism in American politics and culture, offering his remarks in a Tuesday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
Marlow invited Jasser’s comments on a Friday report of a video depicting Muslim children wearing Palestinian attire and singing jihadist songs and shared on the Muslim American Society Islamic Center in Philadelphia’s (MAS Philly) Facebook page.
“People see these clips and they think it’s just an aberration or a one-off,” said Jasser. “Even the bizarre Philadelphia Enquirer had the temerity to have a reporter report after this was going viral that the heads of the school said this was an oversight and it wasn’t properly vetted. The only thing that wasn’t properly vetted was that some parent posted that.”
Jasser continued, “The bottom line is that the Muslim American Society has 35 chapters, [and] among those chapters they run a number of charter and private schools. It is, according to the Chicago Tribune — no vast right-wing conspiracy — the Chicago Tribune had a large three-part series in 2004 with an undercover Muslim reporter in one of their schools in Chicago that showed that they are clearly the mirror image — or they are — the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States.”
Jasser added, “There was a school called TIZA in Minnesota that was shut down a few years ago — by the way, not too far from Ilhan Omar’s district — and that school was shut down by the ACLU suing them because they were using tax money to force kids into prayer and doing fundamentalist Salafi-Jihadi-type ideology. This was also a little bit under the national radar. That school has now shut down. A lot of their leaders have reopened institutions under other names in the area. It shows you that this is an endemic deep problem.”
