— Islamist groups making inroads in local politics in America – Hesham Shehab
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/01/islamist_groups_making_inroads_in_local_politics_in_america.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When
Sadia Gul Covert was elected in 2018 and sworn into the office of Dupage County
commissioner, she took her oath on the “Quran, Torah, and the Bible,”
in what seemed at the time like a symbol of unity and moderation. But Covert’s
decision to cast her lot with the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)
raises questions about the extent of her moderation. Covert will be a speaker
at the CAIR-Chicago 2020 Banquet fundraiser in February, among other Islamist
speakers. CAIR was connected to the terrorist organization Hamas during the
terror-financing trial against the Holy Land Foundation (HLF). According to the
Justice Department report published in 2009, “HLF became the chief
fundraising arm for the Palestine Committee in the U.S. created by the Muslim
Brotherhood to support Hamas.”)
