“On the Holmes Front,” with Frank Holmes
One of the top leaders of the anti-Trump Resistance is tied to the suspected Islamic cult leader who held starving children prisoner on a New Mexico compound
Democratic Party activist Linda Sarsour was one of the four co-chairs of the Women’s March on Washington – and she called the cult leader’s father her “mentor.”
Authorities say that Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, a 39-year-old cult leader, held 11 children on a filthy desert compound near Taos, New Mexico – and wanted to them perform school shootings as an act of jihad.
The starving kids lived in “Third World” conditions while Wahhaj brainwashed them with Islamic propaganda – and taught them to use guns.
He had them so bedazzled that one mother believed her dead toddler would return to earth as Jesus and tell the compound who to kill, an FBI agent told the court on Monday.
The alleged ringleader is the son of an imam tied to the World Trade Center attack.
The cult leader’s father, Imam Siraj Wahhaj, is a Brooklyn-based imam who was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
He’s also a hero to Sarsour, who has been praised by former President Barack Obama, Senator Bernie Sanders, and the Democratic Party’s hardline base.
“My favorite person in this room – that’s mutual – is Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who has been a mentor, and motivator and encourager of mine,” Sarsour said.
The terror-imam “taught me we are on this earth to please Allah, and only Allah, that we are not here to please any man or women on this earth,” she added.
Sarsour praised Wahhaj at the 2017 conference of Islamic Society of North America – although ISNA is an unindicted co-conspirator in funding terrorism and deeply tied to Hamas.
“Imam Siraj, God bless you and protect you for a long time because we need you now more than ever,” she concluded.
The 68-year-old imam – who was born Jeffrey Kearse – is not just linked to terror but praised a convicted terror mastermind.
Siraj acted as a character witness for Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, who died in prison for planning to “levy a war of urban terrorism against the United States.”
The man wanted to kill Americans in an ISIS-style urban warfare in the streets – and Sarsour’s mentor tried to convince the court that he was a great guy.
It looks like the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
But Sarsour has praised Imam Siraj constantly, in person and in an endless string of Twitter posts —
Imam Siraj is the man. ~ @imamzaidshakir #taqwa30

Imam Siraj Wahhaj is Black American and most loved religious leader amongst diverse groups of Muslims. #blackmuslimfuture

Sarsour even said she’d like to pray at his mosque in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant more often, if it weren’t for the New York City traffic —
@GMUPatriot13 Imam Siraj is an amazing man. I have prayed at Masjid Taqwa a few times but it's far from where I live.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Sarsour is so tight with the Wahhaj family – or any other anti-American, radical Islamic fundamentalist, for that matter.
Sarsour told ISNA that American Muslims need to wage “jihad…not only abroad in the Middle East or on the other side of the world, but here, in these United States of America, where you have fascists and white supremacists and Islamophobes reigning in the White House.”
She’s met with Islamic terrorist bomber Rasmea Yousef Odeh, who killed two young Jews and lied to U.S. immigration about it.
She helped shut down a New York City anti-terrorist program that it had its sites on the extremist mosque of the terrorist who mowed down 8 people last fall.
Her own family did time in Israeli prison for its support of Palestinian terrorism.
Despite all this:
The Democrats who support Sarsour don’t just stand with her. They stand with the alleged terror-imam and his twisted son. The anti-Trump Left can either disown Sarsour and the Wahhaj family, or it owns all the evil things this trio stands for.
