Radical Islam in Tarrant County: Part 2
The entrenchment of radical Islam in our county is far worse than we described last week. Since our last report on radical Islam, CAIR has called for our Chairman to step down. Naturally, this has only motivated us to go further.
Today we will show you that Tarrant County has a prominent Islamic leader with longstanding political connections who is deeply connected to pro-terrorist activity. His name is Moujahed Bakhach.
Imam Bakhach is the former imam for the Islamic Association of Tarrant County. He spent 7 years as a member of Fort Worth's Human Relations Commission, housed under the DEI Department. He has given the opening prayer for the Fort Worth City Council, Dallas Commissioners' Court, and more.
He was the first imam to serve as "Pastor of the Day" in the Texas House. He has been interviewed countless times by prominent news outlets. He even served as an international ambassador for Islam under Obama's Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. The liberal establishment has set him up as the poster child for Islam in North Texas. He even set up America's first sharia tribunal.
Here's the catch: he is deeply connected to jihadists and has even served in an organization that assisted criminals who raised money for Hamas.
To start, he had serious personal and professional connections to the men convicted of funneling money to terrorist organizations like Hamas. When the Holy Land Foundation officers were convicted of funding Hamas, Bakhach was photographed hugging defendant Mufid Abdulqadar at his trial in Dallas. Abdulqadar spent 16 years in prison for this crime. It should be no surprise that he gave money to Hamas, considering his half-brother is Khaled Mashal, who led the Hamas Political Bureau from 1996-2017.
Bakhach has also served on the Board of Advisors for the Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA). He held this position while the Fund raised money in DFW for the defense of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) founders, who were imprisoned for funneling money to Hamas. One of them, Ghassan Elashi, whom Bakhach's organization raised money for, received a 65-year prison sentence for his financial support of terrorism. Ghassan's cousin, Mousa Abu Marzook, was the Chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau from 1992-1996. Many other officers and board members for the MLFA, people with whom Bakhach served, were former members of the Holy Land Foundation.
The imam claims to have been the Texas representative for the Grand Mufti of Lebanon since 1982, the year he came to the United States. This means that he was the Mufti's representative under Grand Mufti Mohammed Rashid Qabbani, who has had much to say about the Jews. Here's a brief selection, with clips for proof:
-
Qabbani has claimed that the Jews orchestrated 9/11.
-
He issued a fatwa saying that "it is the islamic duty to wage jihad to liberate Palestine" and that peace agreements with the Jews are null and void.
-
He claims that Jews in Israel will "meet their fate" if they don't leave, which will be "worse than the Holocaust." He also suggests that the Holocaust did not happen.
-
Qabbani has also stated that muslims "must wage jihad against Jews in Palestine and Americans in Iraq" and that "jihad is the slogan of our nation."
Bakhach claims to have been this man's representative in the State of Texas.
Moujahed Bakhach also claims to have been an "active member" of the Muslim Arab Youth Association (MAYA) from 1984-1994. The timing here is interesting because MAYA became infamous in 1989 for its conference in Kansas City Missouri where it hosted and cheered avowed terrorists. One of the event's guest speakers was a known Hamas terrorist named Sheikh Mohammed Siyyam, who has called for violent jihad against Israel, Jews, and Christians. It has been reported that the keynote speaker was proudly introduced as a man who had killed 16 Israelis in a bus attack. Attendees responded to this introduction with a rowdy "Allahu Akbar." Bakhach was a member of this organization for years after this conference.
At a 1992 conference co-hosted by MAYA and the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), in Oklahoma City, one of the featured speakers was a man named Kamal Helbawy, who was a representative of the Muslim Brotherhood. This event also occurred several years before Bakhach left the organization.
MAYA was also listed by the terroristic Muslim Brotherhood as an affiliate organization in 1991, while Bakhach claims to have been an "active member." The US government reportedly placed MAYA on a list of organizations that "finance terrorism and perpetuate violence."
Apart from his deep connections to and platforming by local and state governments, as well as the federal government, Bakhach has lectured at schools including TCU, Texas Women's University, Dallas Theological Seminary. He has even taught at the Fort Worth Police Academy and "many high schools."
No matter how much Democrats and their liberal Republican allies try to cover for radical Islam, we will not be fooled and will continue to expose it. People like this want our county destroyed. They think that sending their watchdogs in the liberal media will scare us off. No matter how many times CAIR, the leftist media, or other radicals come after us, we will not back down.
