RUTHFULLY YOURS

Hamtramck, Mich., has elected what is believed to be the first U.S. city council with a majority of Muslims, as a recent wave of immigrants put its stamp on the longtime Polish enclave.

“I’m proud to be an American Muslim, but we were elected by everyone in Hamtramck and we’re going to serve everyone,” said Saad Almasmari, a 28-year-old Yemeni-American who was elected to the council by receiving the most votes of the six candidates on the ballot. Mr. Almasmari, who moved to the U.S. in 2009 and became a citizen in 2011, expects to take office in early January.

After last week’s election, four of the city council’s six seats will be filled by Muslims, including three who are from Bangladesh. One of those council members was an incumbent not up for re-election.

A city of 22,000 that is surrounded on all sides by Detroit, Hamtramck was once a haven for immigrants who were mainly Polish and Catholic. But more recently, churches have given way to mosques. The Polish population has dropped to about 11% today from 90% in 1970s. Since 2004, the Muslim call to prayer has been broadcast to the city’s streets.

Arab immigrants, mostly from Yemen, now make up 24% of Hamtramck’s population, according to the Census Bureau. Other Muslim immigrants have come from Eastern Europe and Asia. By some estimates, the city’s Muslim population has surpassed 50%.

“They’re the new majority, and those numbers are being reflected at the ballot box,” said Sally Howell, an associate professor of history at the University of Michigan-Dearborn who published a history of the Muslim communities in Detroit last year.

This special edition of The Glazov Gang was joined by Stephen Coughlin, the co-founder of UnconstrainedAnalytics.org and the author of the new book, Catastrophic Failure.

He came on the show to discuss Muslim Brotherhood: Above the Law in America, unveiling how stealth Jihadists are now out of reach of investigators, national security analysts and members of Congress.

Don’t miss it!

As a supporter of both the terrorist organization Hamas and white supremacist icon David Duke, Sofian Abdelaziz Zakkout lives on the fringe of American society. To offset the negative fallout that could come as a result of this, as well as other radical activities carried out by Zakkout, he has attempted – and successfully so – to associate himself with institutions related to law enforcement and homeland security. These institutions must be made aware of Zakkout’s extremist intentions and must be reminded that law enforcement and terror do not mix.

Sofian Zakkout is the Director of the American Muslim Association of North America (AMANA), a Miami-based radical Islamic group that is linked to two dozen mosques throughout South Florida. During the beginning stages of AMANA, Zakkout was the Vice President of the now-defunct Health Resource Center for Palestine (HRCP), a Hamas-related charity whose Secretary/Treasurer, Syed Khawer Ahmad, was a web developer for Hamas in Gaza.

According to the AMANA website, Zakkout is a board member of the Miami-Dade County Citizen Corps Council. Citizen Corps was created following the September 11 attacks to provide citizens with opportunities to help in America’s response to terror, crime and disasters. Being involved with Citizen Corps is the perfect counter to Zakkout’s true identity and Islamist agenda.

Islam’s Rule of Numbers holds that, wherever and whenever Muslims grow in numbers, the same acts of “anti-infidel” violence that are endemic to the Islamic world grow with them.

This has become especially evident in one Western institution that has a disproportionately large number of Muslims: prisons. Several anecdotes just surfaced last month alone.

Whitemoor prison in Cambridgeshire recently became the first Muslim-majority prison in Britain. Between the ages of 22 and 39, Muslims now represent 56 per cent of the population there. “Prisoners and staff found the Muslim presence overwhelming” says a recent report. Non-Muslims “were often bullied into converting to Islam, and those who resisted were too scared to cook pork in communal kitchens in case it caused offence.”
