This is the news from the Daily Caller earlier this week (hat tip: Cathy):
The controversial imam of a prominent mosque in Arlington, Va., has urged immigrant Muslims in the United States to wage war for Islam.
“The enemies of Allah are lining up. The question for us is, are we lining [up] or are we afraid because they maycall us terrorists?” Shaker Elsayed told a crowd of Ethiopian Muslims during a lecture at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Va.
“Let me give you the good news: they are already calling us terrorists anyway. Whether you sitting at home, watching TV, drinking coffee, sleeping or playing with your kids, you are a terrorist because you are a Muslim.”
“Well, give them a run for their money. Make it worth it. Make this title worth it, and be a good Muslim,” said the Cairo-born Muslim.
[….]
At the end of the imam’s incendiary speech, a representative of the Ethiopian group walked to the podium and declared the speech was not calling for jihad.
Fire the Imam? Never!
“If Dar al-Hijrah were like most American religious institutions it would fire Elsayed, but it’s not like most religious institutions,” John Rossomando, a researcher at the Investigative Project on Terrorism.
“The mosque operates as a front for Hamas … [and] has the distinction of being connected with more terror plots than just about any other mosque in America,” he said in a statement to TheDC.
So how did all these Ethiopians get here? You guessed it! Refugee Resettlement.
From 1983 to 2009 we resettled over 40,000 Ethiopians. How many are Christians? How many Muslims? We don’t know, but the State Department knows and doesn’t release that information to the public.
According to that treasure trove of information the 2009 ORR Annual Report to Congress (the first such report during Obama’s Presidency), Virginia received 1,262 Ethiopians through 2009. And, by the way, the Office of Refugee Resettlement still owes Congress reports for 2010, 2011, and 2012!
Maryland and the District of Columbia each received over a thousand, but top resettlement states for Ethiopians were CA, MN, and TX (see Table 1 Appendix A).
Remember it was only last month that we learned an Ethiopian man in Northern Virginia was sentenced to 25 years in prison for shooting at the Pentagon and planning to deface graves in Arlington Cemetery (wonder if he attended Dar al-Hijrah?).
Ethiopian Community Development Council
Did you know that one of the Nine major federal refugee contractors is the Ethiopian Community Development Council headquartered in Arlington, VA?
For fun, see their most recent Form 990. Their revenue listed on page 9 is $12,887,556. You, the taxpayer, paid them $12,755,523 for their work! 99% of their revenue came from you!
Electing Obama!
In 2008 an Ethiopian community organizer in DC bragged that they could get 10,000 Ethiopian votes in Northern Virginia for the O-man, here.
