Obama's New OIC Envoy Defended Activist Who Aided Terrorist Group

Via Jihad Watch
President Obama's newly appointed envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference was quoted in 2004 as saying an American who aided a Palestinian terrorist group was the victim of politically motivated persecutions' who was being used to squash dissent.'

Rashad Hussain was quoted as telling a Muslim students' event in Chicago that if U.S. Muslims did not speak out against the injustices taking place in America, then everyone's rights would be in jeopardy.

The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (WRMEA) cited Hussain as making the remarks in connection with Sami al-Arian, a university professor and activist sentenced in 2006 to more than four years in prison (including time already spent in custody) after he had pleaded guilty to conspiring to aid the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).
Sounds like Hussain will fit right in.

#1 interesting that the WRMEA edited their archives 3 years ago to remove references to Rashad Hussain's comments about Al Arian.

either they were preparing him for a job in a Donk admin or perhaps Rashad changed his mind about Al Arian (if the latter, the edits should however have noted that).
