Daughter Of Terrorist Jew Killer Sami Al Arian Posts Warm Fuzzy Account Of Meeting 90 Year Old Jewish Man Which Goes Viral

August 1, 2016

MIM: Leena Al Arian is the daughter of convicted terrorist Sami Al Arian and continues to be a staunch supporter of her father and his actions. The naive 90 year old man played right into the victim narrative which Al Arian wants to perpetuate having learned from her father Sami how to expertly play the victim card. After his suspension for promoting jihad (see below) from the University of South Florida:

"...Al-Arian responded to the suspension by adopting the posture of a victim: "I'm a minority," he said. "I'm an Arab. I'm a Palestinian. I'm a Muslim. That's not a popular thing to be these days. Do I have rights, or don't I have rights?"

MIM: In a report on a video showing at her father Sami's trial Joe Kaufman who was present observed that:

"One part of the video, which starred Al-Arian, showed Damra's congregation loudly chanting: "Khyber, Khyber, ya Yahood, jesh Mohammed sofa ya'ud." The song is in reference to the Saudi city of Khyber, where Mohammed's followers attacked and enslaved its Jewish inhabitants in the year 628. The line translates: "Khyber, Khyber, oh Jews, Mohammed's Army will return." It was repeated by the congregation five times.

As they were singing, the tune must have jarred a memory from Leena, as she broke out laughing, bending over and putting her hands over her mouth to try to hold it in. It was only when her sister, Laila, nudged her that she stopped. In less than a moment, Leena went from intense laughter to the same pathetic sad face that is seen on camera..."

MIM: Leena Al Arian's father was directly responsible for the deaths of at least 8 people in a suicide bombing he orchestrated and financed.

"Ten years ago, American student Alisa Flatow boarded a bus headed to a Gaza Strip beach resort for a much needed break from her studies.

At the Israeli settlement of Kfar Darom, a young man sat in a van loaded with explosives. As the bus approached, he steered his rolling bomb at it with ferocious speed and slammed into the bus' side.

Eight people -- seven Israelis and Flatow -- died in the April 9, 1995, terrorist attack...

...Prosecutors contend there is direct evidence of Al-Arian's involvement with actual attacks.

"One FBI surveillance video of Al-Arian's fundraising tour of American mosques showed him being introduced as "the President of the Islamic Committee for Palestine … the active arm of the Islamic Jihad movement." In addition to others in the video who praised the killing of Jews and Christians, Al-Arian declaimed, "God cursed those who are the sons of Israel ... Those people, God made monkeys and pigs ... Let us damn America, let us damn Israel, let us damn them and their allies until death." In another videotaped speech, Al-Arian said: "We assemble today to pay respects to the march of the martyrs and to the river of blood that gushes forth and does not extinguish, from butchery to butchery, and from martyrdom to martyrdom, from jihad to jihad." http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=671

Muslim woman's praise for Jewish man wins social media salute


JTA

A Facebook post by a Muslim-American woman about the kindness of a 90-year-old Jewish man has been attracted the attention of thousands of social media users.

Leena Al-Arian wrote that she met a man on Thursday named Lenny at her Boston-area Barnes & Noble, where she took her two young daughters for a special children's program.

Lenny approached the young family "and conveyed a heartfelt apology for the general anti-Muslim sentiment in our society today. He had tears in his eyes and told me that it must be so hard to turn on the news, that he feels awful about the bigotry my kids might one day experience, and that as a Jewish man whose parents didn't speak any English growing up, he personally understands what it feels like to be rejected and discriminated against," Al-Arian wrote in her Facebook post.

"I asked if I could give him a hug (he looked like he needed one more than me, but I guess I needed one too) and he wanted to reassure me that most Americans are decent people who don't hate people like me or believe what they hear on the news," she continued.

Lenny took a photo with the family and then bought the girls each a present at the store in honor of his 90th birthday on Friday.

Al-Arian said she decided to post it after a friend suggested she put it out there "to add to what I guess is our modern day chicken soup for the anti-racist soul."

Excerpt from "Terrorist Cries And Lies" by Joe Kaufman on Frontpage Magazine regarding the film made by Al Arian supporters in which his daughter Leena featured prominently.

"...For the vast majority of the hour-long flick, viewers are treated to a portrayal of a very somber Al-Arian family. One of the sad faces is Al-Arian's daughter, Leena. Leena is very much like her father, an activist, involved in the radical Muslim Students Association (MSA). She was Vice President of the MSA at the University of South Florida (USF). The group's website still has her listed as being as such.

While she was at USF, Leena Al-Arian had a weblog that she created with her friend, Sarah, called Drunk but Sober. The blog contains links to such pro-terror sites as Electronic Intifada, Al-Aqsa Intifada, and Islam Online, which sanctions terrorist attacks, including suicide bombings, against Israelis and Americans.

In the blog, Leena refers to former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleisher as a "bitch," President Bush as "Satan," and one of her father's prison guards as a "sick Fu**er, power-hungry, army reject." Additional quotes from the blog include:

  • "Leena and I have decided to finally get over our indolence and start blogging again. All it takes is a good caffeine source like Starf*cks for some blog-motivation at this hour. Unfortunately, it's my second Starf*cks today. I really do feel guilty every time I purchase an item. Unfortunately Leena's come to the realization that ‘we're such [Zionist] Yahoodi [Jew] supporters.'" (Sarah, March 29, 2004)
  • "Anyway, Sarah came over today and we worked on our Palestine powerpoint presentation... Since I cannot actively join in their struggle (at the moment), I only pray that Allah (SWT) may continue to give them... the strength to resist. And still, there are more fights to be fought, more struggles to overcome, more truth to proclaim, and more people to damn-eh, just kidding (well, not really)." (Leena, March 29, 2004)
  • "I know Western media is garbage, but I honestly thought this paper [St. Petersburg Times] had a little more integrity than that). I think this is just complete and utter bullshit propaganda once again unleashed by the Israeli government (and American media) to vilify and dehumanize the Palestinians, and justify the murder of innocent children (as well as extra-judicial assassinations of certain unnamed wheelchair-bound individuals [Hamas spiritual leader Ahmed Yassin] for that matter)." (Leena, March 29, 2004)
  • "[M]y hatred for these two people [Condoleezza Rice and Ariel Sharon] has grown considerably in this past week alone... Inshallah, they will one day be joined together, in a Next Liiiiifetiiiiiime... I think we all can reach a consensus as to where they will probably reunite, and boy, oh boy, it will be HOT IN HERRE!;) I hope Condi likes the taste of smoked ham." (Leena, March 29, 2004)
  • "I am just so tired of reading blatantly biased writings on the Holocaust... [T]he thought of sitting through that nauseating three-hour class makes me want to put a bullet through my head. I am sick of the likes of propagandists such as Elie Wiesel, Rubenstein, and others who continue to exploit the tragedy of the Holocaust to justify the continued, unjustifiable suffering of the Palestinians." (Leena, March 2, 2004)

In the movie, Leena looks tired and depressed -- quite the opposite of how this author found her, at her father's trial.

I sat next to Leena, in the back of the courtroom, her older brother and sister sitting to the left of her. That day, July 12, 2005, the prosecution showed a video of a 1991 Cleveland fundraiser for PIJ led by then-imam of the Islamic Center of Cleveland, Fawaz Damra. Damra, prior to settling in Ohio, was the imam of the Al-Farouq Mosque in Brooklyn, New York and had established Al-Qaeda's American headquarters, the Alkeefah Refugee Center, within the mosque.

One part of the video, which starred Al-Arian, showed Damra's congregation loudly chanting: "Khyber, Khyber, ya Yahood, jesh Mohammed sofa ya'ud." The song is in reference to the Saudi city of Khyber, where Mohammed's followers attacked and enslaved its Jewish inhabitants in the year 628. The line translates: "Khyber, Khyber, oh Jews, Mohammed's Army will return." It was repeated by the congregation five times.

As they were singing, the tune must have jarred a memory from Leena, as she broke out laughing, bending over and putting her hands over her mouth to try to hold it in. It was only when her sister, Laila, nudged her that she stopped. In less than a moment, Leena went from intense laughter to the same pathetic sad face that is seen on camera.

Knowing this, one could easily come to the conclusion that much of USA vs. Al-Arian was staged, as if to dupe the audience into believing that this family was in terrible pain, when in truth Sami Al-Arian and his wife had gotten off easy. In fact, the website of the movie, itself, renders the family members, as well as the group's lawyer, Linda Moreno, as mere actors, referring to them as "Cast."..."

Below is the original Facebook post by Leena Al Arian recounting her meeting with "Lenny".

So this happened today at Barnes & Noble: I went to take the kids to meet the Paw Patrol characters and this nice man approached me, told me how beautiful the girls are, and conveyed a heartfelt apology for the general anti-Muslim sentiment in our society today. He had tears in his eyes and told me that it must be so hard to turn on the news, that he feels awful about the bigotry my kids might one day experience, and that as a Jewish man whose parents didn't speak any English growing up, he personally understands what it feels like to be rejected and discriminated against. I asked if I could give him a hug (he looked like he needed one more than me, but I guess I needed one too) and he wanted to reassure me that most Americans are decent people who don't hate people like me or believe what they hear on the news. He then told me he's turning 90 on Friday and insisted on buying each of the kids a present as a gift for himself and so they can have something to remember him by. I told him we should just take a picture instead so I can tell them the story one day (he accepted) but insisted on buying them gifts anyway afterwards.

After the experience I told my friend Jes and we both laughed about how it sounded like one of those heartwarming Facebook stories about random acts of kindness and that it even sounded a little too on-the-nose. She suggested I share it to add to what I guess is our modern day chicken soup for the anti-racist soul. I said people will probably think my account got hacked because it's not nearly cynical enough but here's a picture and it happened. And if you don't believe me, ��.

Oh, and happy birthday, Lenny! ��
❤️, Leena
