Terror Supporter Wants to Become Dem. Nominee to VA State House, Maintains Presence on Obama's Website
His name is Esam Omeish and right now he's running to become the Democratic nominee to the VA statehouse in the 35th district. You may remember him from the very brief interlude in which he was one of Tim Kaine's appointment to the Virgina Commission on Immigration. Within 24 hours video of Omeish calling for jihad was all over the internet and Omeish was forced to resign.
As Yid With Lid observes, Omeish is President of the Muslim American Society (MAS). In my mind the MAS is not as bad as the ISNA, but twice as bad as CAIR.
Omeish is also a Muslim fundamentalist rabble-rouser whose videotaped rants urging crowds of demonstrators to adopt "the jihad way" led to his resignation from Virginia's state Commission on Immigration just 24 hours or so after Gov. Tim Kaine appointed him to the panel last fall.Gee, I wonder why?Oddly enough, Omeish's campaign site somehow manages not to mention any of his activities on behalf of his brethren in the Middle East.
Omeish continues to maintain a presence at Barack Obama's official website. At first I thought this was some leftover from the '08 campaign, but it's not. Omeish's latest post is from yesterday. Each post links his own campaign website which, unsurprisingly, looks a lot like Obama's -- including the symbol that he's adopted.
Hope. Change. Jihad.
Thanks to Yid With Lid.
