Pro-Jihadist running for office in Virginia

Unbelievable! Simply un-freaking believable!

The last time the public got a good look at Esam Omeish, he was resigning from a Virginia immigration panel, claiming that the posting of videos showing him praising Palestinians who chose “the jihad way” to liberate their land was part of a smear campaignagainst him.

Now Omeish is diving into the deep end of smear campaigns, offering himself as a candidate for a partisan legislative seat in Northern Virginia. Omeish is among four Democrats vying to win their party’s nomination in District 35 in the Virginia House of Delegates.

According to his campaign website, Omeish would focus on health care, traffic congestion and education if sent to Richmond. The site emphasizes his Northern Virginia roots and his medical career. It borrows themes from Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, including a logo emphasizing the letter “O” from his last name. Like Obama, Omeish also calls himself “a community organizer,” who “has served on the board of a number of non-profit organizations.”

Omeish actually ran a national religious organization, yet there’s not one reference to the Muslim American Society (MAS) or his role as president anywhere on the campaign site. Neither is there any mention of Omeish’s 2007 appointment by Gov. Tim Kaine to the Virginia Commission on Immigration.

Omeish no longer is listed as president on the MAS website, although it is not clear when his term may have ended or who succeeded him MAS was founded by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, an 80-year-old Egyptian religious/political movement that seeks to make Islamic law, or Shariah, the controlling basis for society.
