Bernie Sander’s Imam said the Islamic State (ISIS) is the “arm of the Zionists”

Every Bernie associate, supporter, acolyte, endorser represents the very worst of humanity. Profoundly evil.

Bernie Sanders endorsed by Imam who said ISIS is ‘arm of the Zionists’

According to reports at Middle East Eye, Sayed Hassan al-Qazwini, a local imam, addressed a Dearborn rally in Arabic on Saturday, encouraging support for Sanders.

By Seth J. Frantzman, J Post, March 10, 2020:

US presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was endorsed at a recent rally on Saturday by an imam who has previously claimed that ISIS atrocities benefit “Zionists,” and claimed falsely that Israel was never targeted by ISIS.

According to reports by London-based news outlet Middle East Eye, Sayed Hassan al-Qazwini, a local imam, addressed a Dearborn rally in Arabic on Saturday, encouraging support for Sanders.

Video of the rally has been posted online of the speech being delivered in Arabic in front of an audience holding Bernie Sanders signs. No translation of the speech was provided in the videos.

However, previous speeches by the imam have been controversial. In archival footage from 2015 posted online by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) in May 2019, the imam can be seen giving a speech about ISIS.

“The only place that has been completely safe and never threatened by ISIS is Israel,” he said, adding: “What does this tell you? This speaks out. This speaks volumes. ISIS somehow is connected to Israel and ISIS is playing the role of the arm of the Zionists in the Muslim world, to kill more Muslims and non-Muslims so it can define the name of Islam, so people can blame Islam for its atrocities so that people will be alienated from this religion.”
He claims that ISIS has harmed the image of the “peaceful religion,” and that “Zionists” are benefiting.
“Who is benefiting from these atrocities? The number one beneficiary of all these atrocities is the Zionist regime.”

Another video from 2017 may have shown the imam giving another controversial speech about ISIS and Israel. He has been accused of sectarianism for his comments about the Middle East, Iran and Iraq.
In another speech posted online in September, MEMRI identified Qazwini as praising Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen for attacks on Saudi Arabia. In his speech, he claimed that Saudi Arabia was involved in a barbaric war against Yemen, saying: “Now, finally, the Houthis decided to teach the Saudis a lesson. Good for them! Good for them! It seems the Saudi regime does not know any language but the language of force.”
He also discussed the attack by Houthis last September on Abqaiq, Saudi Arabia, claiming that it was the response of Iran to US President Donald Trump leaving the Iran Deal.
“You wanted to choke up 80 million Muslims in Iran – and Allah is showing you how he can easily choke you up by destroying your oil industry and oil facilities,” he said.
He claimed that Saudi Arabia didn’t care that Iranians were suffering, and then mocked Saudi Arabia for complaining afterward, noting that the “fire has come to burn” the kingdom’s hand, claiming it was a miracle working in a mysterious way.
Qazwini was invited to give an opening prayer in Congress in 2003. He was introduced as the leader of the Islamic Center of America by Rep. John Dingell.

At the time, he was said to be from a prominent religious family from Karbala, Iraq, and a former student at an Islamic seminary in Qom. Some members of Qazwini’s family were photographed in Karbala in 2014, arming themselves to fight the ISIS offensive.

Several prominent Shi’ite theologians with the same name are well known in the US, including Mostafa Qazwini and adjunct professor Hadi Qazwini. Some social media posts online appear to link them to the same family, although it is not clear if they are related

It is not the only controversial support Sanders has received. Many anti-Israel activists have flocked to the Jewish candidate’s campaign. Palestinian-American comedian Amer Zahr also supports Sanders.\

There are actually persons in the crowd. Where are the sane persons saying, ” This is all wrong!” People should listen to their instincts and search out the truth. Is ignorance bliss? It’ll get you killed. The democrats had all kinds of opportunity to put forth some kind of candidate that would at least make an impression, but instead put up 2 establishment dorks. Without some kind of fair contest, winning isn’t sweet. When it comes to presidential debates they should invite all parties to participate, if for no other reason than Trump and Joe isn’t a reason to even watch. Seen enough gaffes. The election is over so might as well give these other parties a shot at publicity so democrats can move to one of them. I’m almost sad and embarrassed for them for this is a slaughter waiting to happen. And a boring one at that.

IT IS ALL ABOUT INTEGRITY, WHICH INCLUDES HONESTY. Most, if not all Muslims do not have this because their ALLAH is actually SATAN.

Compare what the 10 Commandments say to ISLAM’s Quran and Taqiyya. STARK DIFFERENCES.

The 10 Commandments of God/Jesus Christ IS INTEGRITY, HONESTY, RIGHTEOUSNESS.
The QURAN has no INTEGRITY OR RIGHTEOUSNESS and the parts that are positive toward mankind, are only so FOR MUSLIMS, not non-Muslims. I have studied the Quran, the Hadiths, and the Taqiyya for many years and I can tell you this: IT IS NOT OF THE REAL GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB NOR IS IT OF JESUS CHRIST.

Right. Israel runs ISIS. Who knew? Definitely not the Israelis. Where would we be if it were not for Bernie’s people informing us of this. Just as he calls the Nordic nations “socialist” though they have a capitalistic system, we wouldn’t know the truth without Bernie and his surrogates.

Israel trying to give islam a bad name? With islam’s history of mass murder, mass executions, and iron fisted rule, what would ever make one think that islam is something other than a religion of peace? Could it be the 270,000,000 killed off by islam? Could it be the 80 million Hindus slaughtered by the muslim hordes? Yes, it must all be because of Israel that islam has such a bad reputation. Yea, right.

Allah hu Akbar, y’all.

MORE LIES FROM MUSLIMS. That IS the Taqiyya way.
https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/taqiyya.aspx

And, this PROVES that ISLAM is not of the one true GOD of the universe because GOD DOES NOT LIE and he commands that we not bear false witness (lie and deceive).

2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

I believe THIS IS HOW DONALD J. TRUMP WON THE PRESIDENCY and I also believe THIS is exactly how he will win again:
1. PRAYERS
2. TRUMP’S INTEGRITY WHICH TURNED INTO POSITIVE ACTIONS/POLICIES FOR AMERICA(NS)

YOU PEOPLE (Muslims, liberals, Democrats, never-Trumpers, Progressives, FOOLS) are DUMBER THAN A BOX OF ROCKS. Not only are your hearts BLACK with corruption, blood on your hands, and EVIL, you also cannot recognize the GOOD AND GREAT THINGS TRUMP HAS DONE FOR AMERICA(NS). And, because of your evil, you will never see GOOD because Satan does NOT want you to see good. SATAN CONTROLS YOU and that is so cowardly that no words will get through to you UNTIL you look in the mirror and ask yourself, “WHO AM I AND DO I HAVE INTEGRITY?”

In 2016, I started out as a never-Trumper (I was pro Ted Cruz), but I AM AN HONEST person, so I listened to the message Trump was saying and then, I PRAYED OVER THAT FOR DAYS. It did not take long for me because I trust in GOD and one day while I was watching Trump on TV during that last Presidential debate, this sort of light-bulb went off for me. The fog of indecision had cleared and I saw Trump as our next President so clearly, my entire being got excited. I KNEW WITHOUT A DOUBT that this is what GOD ALMIGHTY wanted for America(ns). I may have never come to that conclusion had I not prayed on it.

IF YOU ARE AN HONEST PERSON, LOOK AT A MAN’S ACTIONS AND THERE YOU WILL FIND HIS INTEGRITY. If he is doing GOOD for people, he has good integrity. If he is doing BAD for people for any reason, he has no integrity whatsoever and it is not worthy of your consideration.

FIGURE IT OUT PEOPLE.

It is NOT the PERSON you are seeing, but their character and integrity that defines who they really are. If you are looking at someone SUPERFICIALLY, then you are only listening to what others say that have your attention. THOSE PEOPLE will never do anything good for you, ever.

Right now, I can PROVE TO YOU that Joe Biden is not worth the ground he stands on because of his poor integrity and lack of good character.

Donald Trump has PROVEN himself by his ACTIONS of making America prosperous. He has done so much in 3-1/2 years that no other President in history has even done before in such a short amount of time.

NOW, IF YOU STILL HATE HIM, you may want to look in the mirror, that is, IF YOU ARE AN HONEST PERSON, and ask yourself WHY YOU HATE HIM SO MUCH. Is it because someone else has convinced you of THEIR HATE for him? Has Trump destroyed your life personally? Has Trump’s policies of bringing jobs back to Americans, keeping America safe by securing our borders, by making America the GREATEST country in the world again after Obama took her down to a 3rd world country level…………………………….DOES ALL THAT MAKE YOU STILL HATE HIM? If so, then YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM IN AMERICA WITH YOUR DISHONESTY AND LACK OF INTEGRITY TO TELL THE TRUTH. If this is so, then WE, THE PEOPLE DO NOT NEED YOU and you will be left behind, just like GOD will leave you behind if your evil continues. THINK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE YOUR SOUL IS THE VERY LAST THING YOU CONTROL UNTIL YOU DIE, then it is up to God where that soul will reside for eternity.

I CHOOSE DONALD J TRUMP BECAUSE I LOVE WHAT HE IS DOING FOR ALL AMERICANS, NOT JUST ME!

That Bernie Sanders has been endorsed by an Imam, an official representative of a religion that has been killing those of other faiths simply for being of other faiths since it was created in the early 7th century, and whose leagal system is completely incompaible with our constitution should raise a red flag the size of Texas for all of Sander’s supporters who have any common sense; unfortunately, that means it probably won’t for ANY of them.comment image
