MIM: The USICRF's celebration of ISNA's Mohamed Elsanousi's appointment to their commission a stealth jihadist who is exploiting interfaith as a weapon for Da'wa as can be seen in his bio on the ISNA website. Elsanousi has documented connections to every pro jihad/terror and sharia promoting individual and organisation on the planet reveals the irony of their claims to be 'safe guarding the rights of religious minorities in in Muslim majority communities'' when his goal is to make Muslims and Islam dominant in American and by extension replace the Constitution with the Koran.
Dearbornistan and the all Muslim City Council in Hamtramck Michigan are but two examples of the Islamic vision of turning the United States of America into the US of Allah.

Elsanousi was the 'Interfaith and Government Relations Director' of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) the largest Saudi funded Dawah organisation in North America which promotes implementation of Sharia and making Islam the dominant religion worldwide using both stealth and kinetic jihad.

ISNA
* Enforces extremist Wahhabi theological writ in America's mosques
* Established by U.S-based members of the Muslim Brotherhood who also had a background as leaders of the Muslim Students Association
* Largest Muslim organization in North America
Origins and Mission
The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) was established in July 1981 by U.S-based members of the Muslim Brotherhood who also had a background as leaders of the Muslim Students Association (MSA). As author and terrorism expert Steven Emerson puts it, ISNA "grew out of the Muslim Students Association, which … was founded by Brotherhood members." Indeed, Muslim Brothers would dominate ISNA's leadership throughout its early years, when the Society was highly dependent upon Saudi funding. ISNA's founding mission was "to advance the cause of Islam and serve Muslims in North America so as to enable them to adopt Islam as a complete way of life."
"…In 2012, ISNA president Mohamed Magid and its community outreach director, Mohamed Elsanousi, traveled to Mauritania for a conference about the "challenges faced by religious minorities in Muslim-majority communities." The event was hosted by the vice chair of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, whose president is Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yousef al-Qaradawi. Also present was the Obama administration's envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (formerly known as the Organization of the Islamic Conference), Rashad Hussain."…

THE WAR ON GAZA - PRAYERS AND CALL FOR PEACE
October 8, 2023
Plainfield, Indiana
The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) is deeply saddened by the recent outbreak of war and violence in the Holy Land and Gaza, resulting in the loss of life of hundreds and injury to thousands. ISNA calls for an immediate end to the violence, and we stand in deep solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Palestine, who are now witnessing heavy and extensive bombardment of their towns and cities in Gaza.
Furthermore, we call on the international community to uphold its duty under the United Nations charter and aim to bring peace and stability to a conflict that has been raging for decades. We also urge the United States to reconsider its one-sided and unconditional support for Israel, which enables the latter to maintain its occupation and apartheid system with impunity. These systems of occupation and apartheid, which the Israeli government defends and has maintained for decades, are clear and egregious violations of international law and stand in sharp contrast to the values of life, liberty, and freedom that we, as Americans, hold dear.
It is unacceptable for us to discuss this conflict while ignoring the root cause of this ongoing crisis, which is the daily and systematic oppression and persecution of millions of Palestinians in their homeland. One cannot expect a way forward without addressing the ongoing blockade of Gaza, the occupation of Palestinian land and property, and the daily human rights abuses perpetrated by Israeli authorities.
We stand in deep solidarity with our Palestinian brothers and sisters during this time, and we call on all parties and governments around the world to exert pressure on Israel to cease its violence and war on the Palestinian people."

Introductions to Sharing the Well From the Editors
Kim Zeitman and Dr. Mohamed Elsanousi
Sharing the Well: A Resource Guide for Jewish-Muslim Engagement is the culmination of almost five years of creating bridges of understanding and partnership between American Muslim and Jewish leaders. At the three "Judaism and Islam in America" workshops hosted in 2010, 2011, and 2012 by The Jewish Theological Seminary, the Islamic So- ciety of North America, and Hartford Seminary, Jewish and Muslim scholars from universities around the country came together to share their traditions and learn from one another. Their discussions focused on what they had in common and their experiences as minority religions in America today.
The workshops were an enormous success. As they discovered how much they shared..

USIRF Calls Attention To Prevalence of Anti-Muslim Hate Around The World
March 15, 2004
Washington, DC – The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) is alarmed at the proliferation of incidents and expressions of anti-Muslim hatred around the world.
"Today marks five years since the terrorist attack on the Al Noor Mosque and Linwood Mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand. This devastating attack initiated the creation of the International Day to Combat Islamophobia. Given that the perpetrator broadcast these murders live over social media, USCIRF calls for better mechanisms to prevent widespread disinformation, hate speech, and incitement of violence toward religious minorities on all social media platforms," said USCIRF Chair Abraham Cooper. "USCIRF also strongly urges the United States to call out foreign governments who fail to protect their Muslim communities from acts of anti-Muslim hatred wherever they occur. The scourge of anti-Muslim hatred must come to an end."
Muslims experience bias, discrimination, and violence in many parts of the world. In Burma, the junta resists international efforts toward accountability for its genocidal campaign against the predominantly Muslim Rohingya community in Rakhine State, while also attempting to actively draft Rohingya into the military.
In China, Muslim communities are treated as an existential threat, culminating in the government's perpetration of genocide against Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang. In India, the government maintains discriminatory policies that disproportionately target Muslims. These policies fuel hate speech, the demolition of mosques and houses in predominantly Muslim neighborhoods, and vigilante violence including rape. The implementation of India's Citizenship Amendment Act will explicitly exclude Muslim refugees fleeing persecution in neighboring countries, including Shi'a and Ahmadiyya Muslims from Pakistan and Afghanistan. In Algeria, Malaysia, and Pakistan, the Ahmadiyya Muslim community continues to be systematically denied the right to worship, targeted by vigilante violence with insufficient government response, and wrongfully detained under blasphemy laws.
Many countries in the European Union, such as Austria and France, retain legislation that impermissibly prohibits Muslim women and girls from wearing religious garb in public spaces. Throughout Europe, anti-Muslim bias also manifests through discrimination in public institutions, prejudice in the immigration process, online harassment, and violent attacks. Additionally, some European countries have passed or are considering legislation that would impact core religious traditions of Islam and Judaism, such as ritual slaughter and circumcision.
"This week is the start of Ramadan, the most holy month in the Islamic calendar. Given all that is happening in today's world, Ramadan provides an especially important inflection point this year. USCIRF is particularly disturbed that Muslims and non-Muslims alike continue to have their right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion violated by governments, religious extremists, and non-state actors," said USCIRF Commissioner Mohamed Magid. "All Muslims have the right to live in accordance with the dictates of their conscience, free from discrimination and acts of violence. USCIRF applauds the U.S. government for strongly condemning all forms of intolerance against Muslims, and supports its efforts to combat hatred and discrimination against members of Muslim communities."
In its 2023 Annual Report, USCIRF identifies incidents and expressions of anti-Muslim hatred around the world. USCIRF also documents selected cases of Muslim religious prisoners of conscience in its Frank R. Wolf Freedom of Religion or Belief Victims List.
