I hope that HOD-51 voters will take Julie's fashion sense and Faisal's dancing skills into account when deciding who to vote for at the June 2 Republican convention.

Before the 2000 Presidential election, in another political debate sponsored by radioislam.com, Ghafoor said, "we are here not just to be nice to people, not to say great things about people but to bring truth and justice and Islamic ways to this country. . . . you should rule by Islam otherwise you're a Kafir (unbeliever, non-Muslim)."—DiscoverTheNetwork.org

Just received word through the campaign that Julie Lucas has formally announced her candidacy. I fully support her, and hope she wins the Republican nomination.

“During my campaign I will focus on transportation solutions, fully funding education while ensuring high expectations with accountability, and keeping taxes low for our families,” said Lucas.

Julie will be joined by Senator Jay O’Brien, Senator Jeannemarie Devolites Davis, Delegate Jeff Frederick, Delegate Jackson Miller, Sheriff Glen Hill and School Board Members Grant Lattin, Milt Johns, Betty Covington, and Don Richardson.

Looks like there is trouble in the pro-Moran camp. On the one hand, Sen. Devolites-Davis is supporting Julie Lucas, "just like a good girl should" ("Brown Sugar, the Rolling Stones.)

On the other hand, three-time Moran donor and imprisoned terrorist Abdurahman Alamoudi is undoubtedly secretly supporting Faisal Gill from the AMC founder's federal jail cell.

Gill law partner and noted Sharia law in the US advocate Asim Ghafoor is also undoubtedly supporting Faisal Gill, even though Ghafoor gave Brian Moran for Delegate $4800 last October.

So the Moran enablers are divided. Some of them, such as Tom Davis and his wife, are with Julie Lucas while others are sticking to Faisal like ox dung.

When Faisal Gill was up in front of the PWCRC on Monday night giving his candidate speech, a I was pretty amused at how he was on the defensive, talking about irrelevant things like the last time he had visited Pakistan and mentioning twice that “things have been written about me”, without addressing what they were.

So what are they saying about Gill? I googled "Faisal Gill" and popped the following three quotes off of the stack:

A White House political appointee with close ties to Republican power broker Grover Norquist and no apparent background in intelligence,...Gill had failed to list on security clearance documents his work in 2001 with the American Muslim Council, the officials said. The advocacy group, which was controlled by Alamoudi...Gill also worked in 2001 for a Muslim political outreach organization that Norquist co-founded with a former top aide to Alamoudi. Norquist did not respond to phone calls, a fax and an e-mail seeking comment.
—Mary Jacoby, Salon, 6/22/04

How does a guy with no intelligence background get appointed director of intelligence policy at DHS--and how does he keep that job and his security clearance after committing two possible felonies by failing to list his two foreign-funded employers on sworn government forms?!?!?!?! Republicans need to get over their fears of Norquist, put the nation's interests first...—Michelle Malkin, 6/22/04

It now appears that Mr. Norquist’s help has extended beyond facilitating high-level access and influence for various Muslim-American and Arab-American entities with troubling ties to, or at least sympathy for, radical Islamofascists – and even terrorists. Reportedly, his association also helped someone affiliated with such a group to gain a political appointment to an exceedingly sensitive post: “policy director” of the Department of Homeland Security’s Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection division.—Frank J. Gaffney, Jr., Front Page Magazine, 7/19/04

These statements contain the following accusations. Voters in the HOD-51 Republican convention would do well to ascertain what truth there is to these charges. For my part, I will continue to hone the information which I have in order to show that all six of the accusations are true.

(1) Gill knew, or should have known, that the American Muslim Council was controlled by Alamoudi in 2001, when Gill worked there.

(2) Gill knew, or should have known, that Khaled Saffuri, who founded the Islamic Institute for which Gill also worked, was a former top aide to Alamoudi.

(3) The American Muslim Council for which Gill worked was an advocacy group. Gill surely knew that, since he was the AMCs chief lobbyist.

(4) Gill's patron Grover Norquist has refused to provide information about the Islamic Institute or about his relationship with Gill, Saffuri and Alamoudi. If Norquist, an ally of Alamoudi, has information that would exonerate Gill why doesn't Norquist provide it?

(5) Gill knew or should have known that Gill's employers The American Muslim Council and the Islamic Institute both received foreign funding. (AMC founder Alamoudi was arrested in London in 2003 with a suitcase containing $340,000 in serially-numbered $100 bills. Alamoudi had received the money from the Libyan embassy there.)

(6) Gill knew or should have known that the American Muslim Council and the Islamic Institute were entities with troubling ties to, or at least sympathy for, radical Islamofascists – and even terrorists.

(7) Gill was affiliated with the American Muslim Council. Specifically, Gill was the chief lobbyist for the AMC.

Since these quotes Abdurahman Alamoud has been convicted of terrorist money-laundering. In his plea bargain Alamoudi admitted to having been laundering Libyan money since 1995. He is serving a 23-year sentence in federal prison.]]>
