Muslim Grievance Theater: Hijab Women Dissed @ Obama Rally Are Muslim Terror Front-Group Activists, Top Islamic Proselytizer

By Debbie Schlussel
As soon as I heard about the Muslim women in hijabs being excluded from sitting behind Barack Obama at a Michigan rally, I knew what you probably knew: that CAIR and ADC and MPAC and ISNA, the alphabet soup of terrorist-sympathizing, pan-HAMAS/Hezbollah Islamofascist grievance theater, would milk the story like there’s no tomorrow. It was ripe fodder for their PR branch of the jihad against America and the West.
Now, I’ve come to learn that one of the hijab-encrusted, rejected whiners, Hebba Aref, was an official of the Muslim Students Association (MSA), in charge of proselytizing. The Chicago Tribune identified the MSA as part of the American manifestation of the Sunni terrorist group, Al-Ikhwan Al-Muslimeen–The Muslim Brotherhood. Aref served on the executive board of the University of Michigan-Dearborn’s MSA, which demanded and obtained tax-funded Muslim foot baths at that university, a story I broke on this site last year. Also, two Muslim students at U-M Dearborn, Lola Elzein and Mohammed Fouad Abdallah, sent me violent rape and death threats.

And Aref was not just any officer of the U-M Dearborn Muslim group. She was in charge of Dawa, or proselytizing, from 2000 to 2003 at the school. Yup, she was the chief “Conversion to Islam” officer at one of the most pan-Islamist college campuses in the country.

Shimaa Abdelfadeel’s Group Hosted Islamic Jihad Chief Sami Al-Arian

And Shimaa Abdelfadeel, the other woman allegedly excluded by the Obama campaign, was chair of SAFE, a University of Michigan-Ann Arbor group that hosted the 2002 Divestment Conference against Israel at which “Annihilate the Jews!” was chanted and Islamic Jihad founder Sami Al-Arian was keynote speaker. She’s the author of vehement anti-Israel vitriol and propaganda.
And, it’s in this vein, that Aref’s and Abdelfadeel’s whining about the Obama campaign rejecting her for a seat behind Obama at his rally seems suspicious. In the original Ben Smith article on the Politico, he cites few non-Muslim witnesses to this story. Isn’t that just a stunning coincidence that these women just so happen to be the ones singled out by the Obama campaign? Perhaps it did happen to both. But if so, the Obama campaign apologized and he’s more than over-pandered to them throughout his history. Yet, they’re still–predictably–whining about this.
And finally, these Muslims will still be voting for Obama. They have nowhere else to go. If Barack Obama gives in to anymore of their demands, he’s really a fool. They won’t be voting for McCain. And–despite their uninfluential (in determining the outcome) and exaggerated numbers at the polls–they won’t be sitting at home. They’ll be pulling the lever for Barack Hussein Obama.

H. Obama’s campaign did not want these people to be seen because Obama is pandering to white America right now. Obama’s goal is to make himself seem as a nice safe suburban black man. Someone for the white voters to feel good about.
I’m sure that once in the Oval Office H. Obama will gladly welcome MSA for a visit. I’m sure he will also invite Hamas, Party of God and Iran’s president Ahmadinejad for official visits too. Didn’t Clinton host arafat at the White House?

Outstanding reporting. Like many others, I appreciate your diligence in exposing the subversion of these terrorist activists & the Obama campaign & mainstream media’s disregard for our security.

Shiima the fat slob looks like she’s done well enough for herself living fat and happy in a capitalist evil country she’s trying to bring down. Wonder how well she’d be doing in Saudi Arabia under Shia law. I’m sure the lip stick she slathers on would be enough to catch a beating. Good column.

Hussein doesn’t stop African Americans from sitting behind him. Why would Hussein be threatened by Muslims showing their support for him unless he knew it could cost him the race? He’s tried to hide his name and his identity because there are American’s out there that just don’t get it. He’s the sleeper cell.

EnigmaticEntropy7 on June 19, 2008 at 2:22 pm

So Obama threw them under the bus. They should take up the company there. After the election, they can all come out – the black racists, the moonbats and the pan-Islamists. After all they have found a very good friend in the Democratic presidential nominee.

What Americans miss is the big picture:
A “nexus of evil” between:
– Illegal Immigrant groups.
– Terrorist groups.
– Politicians.
Each of the above, individually, or combined with any of the others above, will suck the blood off of hard-working, tax-paying, honest Americans, while feeding off of the same hard-working, tax-paying, honest Americans.
Any wonder why Mobarak God-D**N-America Obama is all set for votes of hard-working, tax-paying, honest Americans, while the sitting president/commander-in-chief continues the ban on drilling, his father imposed, again, upon hard-working, tax-paying, honest Americans.

Alert on June 19, 2008 at 3:03 pm

….mmm I think Congress is responsible for lifting the ban… It was an Act of Congress that created this ban on coastal drilling. President Bush just asked Congress to re-examine the Act but Democrat Majority Leader Pelosi refused. If Bush is in the pocket of the Big Oil as I’m sure you think, why would he continue the ban?
Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972

A big thanks Debbie for your work. Thank god not all in America have succumbed to the deceitful tricks of Islamists and displayed Dhimmitude to this most evil of all religions. Wish we had someone like you in Canada, as we are quickly following the lead of Londonistan. Mark Steyn has spoken up here, and he has been charged under our “human rights” laws for daring to speak the truth about the Islamists.

Blomidonbud on June 19, 2008 at 4:27 pm

Debbie, you break so many of these crucial stories, it’s crazy. You do the work the MSM refuses won’t (which is why the hate speech police will be coming for you once the mini-caliph and his retinue ascend to the Oval Office).
The people of Michigan, who may very well decide this election are very fortunate to have DS around to turn over the Obama logs. The stuff you’ve found under there isn’t pretty.
BTW: This incident has fake Sister Souljah moment written all over it.

We all know what a forked tongue candy-man Obama is–he can say totally opposite things and take both sides of an issue even better than Mitt Romney used to do. He may be in Bill Clinton’s league on the double speak richter scale (like his recent “Jerusalem must remain the undivided capital of Israel”–to say the very next day that did not mean all of it would be under Israeli authority. Oy.
However, I think it is a positive thing that even liberal Obama realizes that most Americans have had it with sucking up to the muslims. At least this shows we have made some progress.
On the reality side, Obama will still be sucking up to these muslims, off camera. If elected (spit), he will surely be the best friend the muslims have ever had as president. They muslims know this. Like Debbie says–they will only vote for BHO.
Barak Hussein Obama has “pander to the muslims, concede, concede” in his cellular DNA.

BB on June 19, 2008 at 6:50 pm

Of course Obama will still apologize to these ji-her-dists.
UM-Dearborn’s MSA is a terrorist front group, as Debbie rightly said. It has a history of violence according to Dearborn Underground:

Here’s the new website for UM’s SAFE, which I found online. Notice the terrorist headscarf as the banner:

The Michigan Daily named a Michigan SAFE member one of its “Students of the year.” Israel hating gets you awards now.

It’s reports such as this that makes me glad and calm that I’m packing heat – a .357 magnum/.38 revovler (it was my dad’s). Just wish I could carry the 12 gauge on campus without the hippies and inbred professors fainting and going into fits.
I need bullet proof armor, though. Something in a vest that could go with a nice double-breasted suit. (Yeah, I sometimes wear really good Versini or Sean John suits on campus just to annoy the professors. Once I wore a Jones New York tuxedo to Business Ethics 203 and got kicked out of class.)

bhparkman on June 20, 2008 at 12:37 am

Deb, I love you. You’re always wonderful!!!!

jim on June 20, 2008 at 6:27 am

Interesting, I had a STRONG feeling something was up when I read how manipulative they were being such as demanding if he were truly serious about his apology, he’d let them sit behind him asap or he’d call them personally. It didn’t sound like a normal reaction. It makes sense that these people were involved in activist groups. Yet you won’t hear a word of this anywhere….shhhhhh.
Would it have been ok if a bunch of moonies were planted behind obama? Would people still be yelling for their right to sit behind him? Or how about the heaven’s gate whacknuts that off’d themselves with koolaid?

Debbie — I just posted your first-rate splash and attribution and link on Newsbusters!
As usual — major kudos on your diligent newshounding … doing the REAL Investigative Reporting the MSM could care less about.

Dressing up hatred, propoganda, and selective journalism (look below for quote Schlussel omits from the same Tribune article she cites) as “newshounding” makes me fear for this country. Ignorance runs rampant here.
“Some of those organizations eventually would distance themselves from the Brotherhood. The Islamic Society of North America, the umbrella group for the Muslim Youth of North America and the Muslim Students Association, says Brotherhood members helped form those groups but that their overall influence has been limited.”

Great article as usual. I thought you’d be pleased to know that this article was linked to from Neal Boortz.
http://boortz.com/nuze/200806/06202008.html
[L: NO, I’M NOT PLEASED BECAUSE NEAL’S TALENTLESS “RESEARCHER,” CRISTINA GONZALEZ BASICALLY REWROTE MY ENTIRE POST AND POSTED ALL OF THE DETAILS AND LINKS (EXCEPT THE ONES TO ITEMS ON THIS SITE), GIVING PEOPLE NO REASON TO READ IT ON THIS SITE. THIS IS VERY POOR FORM AND IS CLOSE TO WHAT AARON KLEIN DID. IT’S BASICALLY THEFT. AND RIGHT AFTER THAT, GARY BAUER SENT OUT AN E-MAIL BLAST TO HIS ENTIRE MAILING LIST CREDITING NEAL BOORTZ (NOT ME) FOR THIS RESEARCH BECAUSE THEY RIPPED OFF MY ENTIRE STORY. DON’T TRY DOING IT TO NEAL THOUGH, B/C HE IS SERIOUS ABOUT HIS COPYRIGHTS, JUST NOT OUR COPYRIGHTS.
WHEN I COMPLAINED NICELY, NEAL’S BITCHY PRODUCER, BELINDA, SENT ME A TIRADE OF DERANGED ANGRY HATE MAIL. FRANKLY, THIS SHOWS ME THAT NEAL’S ACT IS A FRAUD. HE’S A LIBERTARIAN WHO BELIEVES IN INDIVIDUAL PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS ONLY FOR HIMSELF, NOT FOR THE REST OF US. NEAL IS TIGHT FRIENDS WITH SEAN HANNITY, SO THIS BEHAVIOR IS NO SHOCKER. BIRDS OF A FEATHER . . . . DS]

This the new trend now. If you insult Islamic women or stage a insult to Islamic women. You are supposed to give them a job, reduced prices at walmart, your buisness, heck, the whole country. We are supposed to kill ourselves with kindness towards easily offended Islamic women.
Meanwhile, in middle east and Iraq muslim women blow themeslves up killing their own people, to get back at the Christian “crusader” infidel. Women of the religion of Peices.

I have often said that ORGANIZED religion should be banned. I stand by that more and more every day. The Christians, The Jews, The Muslims, all killing each other over the same invisible being while claiming to be about peace and love. There have been more people killed in the name of this God than all the guns/weapons, cigarettes, drugs, alcohol,toxic waste, radiation and anything else people blame for useless death combined. For what? Tell me! please, I want to know what is so great that is worth all this senseless death?

mfee01 on June 21, 2008 at 9:58 am

MFee01 writes, “There have been more people killed in the name of this God than…. anything else people blame for useless death combined.”
Actually, you have bought into one of the Big Lies of the last century. The all-time champion in organized mass murder is the twinned mindset of Atheist Socialism. 75 million dead, by conservative estimate, in the last century. And by regimes that had the same attitude toward “the invisible being.” Human beings commit evil, yes — but take God out of the equation and you see what we’re really capable of.

Barack Hussein Obama has a major problem to explain. He may not be a legal American citizen. The same group at the Free Republic, that exposed Dan Rather (CBS), have a hot button issue going on Hussein’s birth certificate. BHO’s so called legal birth certificate, that was posted on the Daily KOS, maybe a fake! Read the story and links here:

Man, those girls don’t miss any meals, do they?

John Harper on June 22, 2008 at 9:45 am

mfee01, docliberty is correct.
It doesn’t matter to me what “name something is done under”…it’s the belief system behind it.
For example, a person who says in the name of God they are going to kill an abortion doctor would be incorrect because God never called for those to follow him to go kill abortion doctors. One knows very little about Christianity if they believe that Christians are called to go kill like muslims are in their koran. Muslims are told that their DUTY is to SLAY 1) those muslims who leave islam (called apostates) and 2) infidels/kuffars (anyone but muslims).
America has been built on the backs of many a Christian communities, don’t forget that. I’m not into organized religion myself, but I do not toss them all under the bus because some evil ideologies exist that are guided by the devil. Lots of churches do good to their community and elsewhere in the world.

Debbie, thanks for that background on Boortz. I didn’t know any of that. Anyway, it looks like he removed the article that included your link.
