Obama Supporter & Muslim Activist Convicted & Jailed
Maybe it's because I'm no longer in LA that I hadn't heard about the case against Project Islamic Hope founder Najee Ali. Ali can frequently be seen on the LA scene decrying this or that alleged police abuse, always crying racism.
I used to turn off the Larry Elders show ever time the SOB came on.
The AFP piece notes, correctly, that Project Islamic Hope's webpage shows pictures of Ali with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Barack Obama. Leading the reader to believe that Ali and his organization are non-partisan.
What it fails to mention is that also prominently displayed on the website is this:
No bias here. Hope and change friends. Change and hope.
AFP:
A prominent Los Angeles-based Muslim activist has been jailed for four years after pleading guilty to attempting to bribe a witness, prosecutors said Tuesday.Advice for Najee Ali: Watch out for the cornhole, man.Najee Ali, who heads the community group Project Islamic HOPE (Helping Oppressed People Everywhere), was sentenced on Monday after he admitted an attempt to interfere with a witness in a court case involving his daughter.
