Winning Against Hate

I speak with long-time civil rights activist Jeffrey Imm, founder of R.E.A.L. on how to win local campaigns against hate. This week, grassroots efforts led to a win against deplatforming CAIR-Minnesota's partnership with law enforcement, along with having the Women's March to remove CAIR-San Francisco's Zahra Billoo from their board. Riding this momentum, we need to shift our focus to Champaign, Illinois, where the local mayor appointed Ahmed Taha to an anti-racism task force. Here's why Ahmed Taha's appointment is a big problem.... Ahmed Taha has promoted calls for the killing of Jews, republishing text that stated: "There is a Jew behind me, come kill him." In 2013, Taha spreads anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about everyone from Egypt's President Sisi to Joe Biden. Taha is an advocate for the Muslim Brotherhood, one of the most dangerous theocratic movements the uses religion as a cover for it's theo-political ambitions. Taha is involved with an Islamist supremacist organization: the Muslim American Society (MAS). Taha is also involved with the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA). ICNA is a proxy group for Jamaat-e-Islami, a violent South Asian extremist movement.
