The Bureau of Indigenous Mulsim Affairs (BIMA) is hosting an event called Jumah at the 2012 DNC<\/a>.\u00a0 According the the event website, the event will take place on Aug 31, 2012 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.<\/p>\n

The website states:<\/p>\n

BIMA is hosting an open air Jumah Congregational Prayer at the Democratic National Convention<\/a> Friday, August 31st at Marshall Park, Charlotte, North Carolina<\/a>. The Jumah Prayer will be followed by a number of other programs and events.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Breitbart.com<\/a><\/p>\n

The Democratic National Convention will open with a focus on Islam. 20,000 Muslims<\/a> are expected to attend according to the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs (BIMA), the national Muslim American<\/a> non-profit coordinating the two days of events they claim are non-political.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>So far, so good, but who is leading this event? Jibril Hough and Imam Siraj Wahhaj<\/a> will lead the event.<\/p>\n

According to the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD)<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A quick Google search by the DNC would have shown them that Hough and Wahhaj are leaders in the separatist American<\/a> Islamist movement<\/a>. While they may be able to get a few thousand Muslims to attend the event, they are NOT going to be mainstream Muslims.\u00a0 Most will likely come from Hough and Wahhaj\u2019s radical networks that have long been entrenched in the Charlotte area. Make no mistake they are part of the Islamist movement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The AIFD<\/a> further states:<\/p>\n

Their jummah (group) prayer is supposedly against the Patriot Act, the NYPD, and Islamophobia and is actually NOT about our democracy but about empowering their Islamist and MB sympathetic groups into the very fabric of the political system so that Americans become anesthetized. We need American Muslims to speak up and marginalize these radicals. The DNC needs to understand and reject them because of their radical history and ideas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They use our American Muslim identity to speak as \u201cone community\u201d as a political unit or as a \u201cbloc vote\u201d \u2013 a political Islamist party when in fact most us Muslims don\u2019t want that political unity and seek reform against their ideology that seeks to hijack our community. They do not represent us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If this is the Democrat party, do you want them in charge for another four years?<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/strong><\/span>:<\/p>\n

I received a note from a friend at the Center for Security Policy<\/a> on this event:<\/p>\n

…well, these “Indigenous Muslims” (whatever that means) are going to hold their event some 3.5 mi. away from the actual DNC.\u00a0 They are not part of it or endorsed by it (DNC hasn’t condemned them either, for appropriating their name and giving a false impression).<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
They’d like people to believe they are part of the DNC, but the whole reason they have to hold their event that far away from the actual convention is precisely because they weren’t<\/strong><\/em> invited to be part of it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, they’re really a bunch of wannabes. And I’d be very surprised if they got a fraction of 20,000 people to attend.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Smoke and mirrors – bad people, to be sure (Siraj Wahaj<\/a>), but not actually part of the DNC.<\/div>\n
