Beware "Electoral Jihad" in New Jersey - and Elsewhere

About this episode

Frank Gaffney discusses the implications of Dr. Adam Hamawy's nomination for Congress and his past actions related to Islamic extremism.

Dr. Adam Hamawy just won the Democratic nomination for the New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, effectively ensuring he will be sworn in next year. A question occurs: Can he faithfully pledge to “support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic”? For one thing, Hamawy previously lied under oath on behalf of the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel-Rahman, during the trial that convicted him of conspiring to bomb the World Trade Center the first time. Then, Hamawy repeatedly shouted during his victory party last week “Allahu Akhbar” – the declaration that “Allah is the greatest” jihadists notably make as they perpetrate terrifying violence on unbelievers. Finally, there’s the prospect that, if Hamawy is elected, he will take his oath with a hand on the Koran, a book that commands its adherents to lie to the infidels. What could possibly go wrong? This is Frank Gaffney.
