More than 90 Muslims, nearly all Democrats, running for public office across the U.S.
Creeping Sharia, April 17, 2018:
9/11 was just the first notable battle in the Islamic takeover of the United States. As we noted a few weeks ago, the Ongoing Islamization of America – Muslims Going Hyper Political. It’s much worse than expected.
Fayaz Nawabi has never met President Trump. But he credits the president with convincing him to run for office.
Nawabi, a 31-year-old candidate for San Diego City Council, supports almost everything that Trump opposes: He is pro-affordable housing, pro-environment, pro-immigrant and pro-refugee. That makes him part of the blue wave of new liberal candidates spurred to run by Trump’s election and policies.
But Nawabi is also part of a notable subset: the blue Muslim wave.
More than 90 American Muslims, nearly all of them Democrats, are running for public office across the country this year. Many are young and politically inexperienced, and most are long shots.
…
Although their number seems small, the candidacies mark an unprecedented rise for the nation’s diverse Muslim community that typically has been underrepresented in American politics.
There are more than 3.3 million Muslims living in the United States, but Muslim Americans hold just two of the 535 seats in Congress. And the Muslim community’s voter participation pales in comparison to the general public’s.
The rise of Muslim candidates coincides with the growth of the predominantly immigrant population and a partisan shift that has played out over a generation. In a 2001 Zogby poll of American Muslims, 42 percent said they voted for Republican George W. Bush in the previous year’s presidential election, while 31 percent said they voted for Democrat Al Gore. By last year, just 8 percent of voting American Muslims in a Pew poll said they voted for Trump, while 78 percent said they voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton.
While Clinton’s campaign never garnered broad enthusiasm from Muslim communities, Trump’s campaign — which called for the monitoring of mosques and a ban on Muslims entering the United States — delivered a jolt on election night that some American Muslims likened to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
“It woke everyone up,” Nawabi said.
Now, Muslim candidates are running for a wide range of offices across the country, from local school boards to the U.S. Senate. Some are making their Muslim identity central to their campaigns.
“When you put someone in a corner and they’re in survival mode, they have a tendency to come out and speak more prominently about their beliefs,” said Nawabi, who considers himself an “unapologetic Muslim” who can quote the Koran from memory and moonlights as a “freelance imam.”
In Michigan, where 13 Muslim candidates are running for office, physician Abdul El-Sayed is hoping voters will elect him to be the first Muslim governor in the United States and has used his religion in campaign ads against Republican front-runner Bill Schuette, whom Trump has endorsed.
“Donald Trump and Steve Bannon would love to see a right-wing radical like Bill Schuette elected in Michigan,” reads a Facebook ad for El-Sayed, who faces a Democratic primary in August. “You know what would be sweet justice? If we elected a 33-year-old Muslim instead of Bill Schuette. Send a message and help elect the first Muslim governor in America.”
…
Asif Mahmood, a 56-year-old pulmonologist, would be the first Muslim insurance commissioner in California. Deedra Abboud, 45, in Arizona, or Jesse Sbaih, 42, in Nevada, could be the country’s first Muslim senator.
And any one of four Muslim women — Nadia Hashimi, 40, in Maryland; Sameena Mustafa, 47, in Illinois; or Fayrouz Saad, 34, and Rashida Tlaib, 41, in Michigan — could be the first in Congress.
Read it all, and weep.
This is why there was only one issue in the 2016 presidential election and there remains only one issue today: immigration.
Without a dramatic shift, a halt to Muslim immigration, and a return of tens of thousands of so-called Muslim refugees – the demographics in America will be forever changed. They will never be reversed and it will only be a matter of time until what has happened in dozens of countries in the world will happen here. The long game does not bode well for non-Muslims.

Muslims cannot take the oath of office to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States or declare their loyalty to uphold the laws of the community in which they want to hold office unless they lie. It is forbidden by their religion to honor anything but islam and Mohammed.
Your comment shows the reason why no muslim should ever hold office anywhere in the United States or any Western country:
you only want to destroy us.
I had to stop reading the thread and just say, close mouth. That was about the emptiest thing I have read. There really are individuals commenting that need to desperately get a clue……. We do not live in a bubble. Their goal has long…… been established. It’s almost embarassing living amongst so many nieve and ignorant people. The youth of today are well conditioned for what is coming. They will be the ones to bring it in, In the name of tolerance and exceptance of all. Generations of waiting, mean absolutely nothing to them. They have been working it for centuries. Americans are just ignorant of the truth. Lazy minded, spoon fed. Afraid to look beyond their higher education. If you can call it that.
Just as they will be the ones that will put an end to the one thing that assures there safety and holds a tyrannical government in check. You know, our second ammendment? I know, it cant happen here! Right? Take the time to study the principals of social engineering. Fascinating study.
Baaaaa, Baaaaa. Sheep to the slaughter. Poor souls have no idea of the indoctrination they have been part of. Slow and steady can be difficult to detect when you have little to compare it to. God help us, we are going to need it.
