Minnesota State Rep: Antifa and Muslim Groups Plan to 'Police Minneapolis Under Muslim Rule'
Minnesota State Rep: Antifa and Muslim Groups Plan to 'Police Minneapolis Under Muslim Rule'
It would have sounded farfetched just weeks ago. It doesn’t anymore.
As the city of Minneapolis moves to dismantle its police force, Minnesota state Rep. Steve Green on Tuesday stated the obvious that virtually everyone else has been tiptoeing around and pretending isn’t there: “What you’re looking at, in my humble opinion, is communism moving into Minneapolis and St. Paul.” And not just Communism, but the Leftist/Islamic alliance. Green asserted that Antifa and Muslim organizations plan to “police Minneapolis under Muslim rule.” Those who scoff at such a notion simply aren’t paying attention to recent developments.
The Minneapolis City Council voted two weeks ago to abolish the city’s police force. Its plans beyond that have so far been sketchy, but something is going to have to be put in place as an alternative to the police. The New York Times noted that “many have called for relying more on self-policing by the community, in the way attendees often do at events like music festivals, with the police stepping in only when a true emergency arises. Some cited as an example how, in the days after the killing of Mr. Floyd, teams made up of dozens of members of the American Indian Movement patrolled streets and directed traffic in the Little Earth housing community in Minneapolis.”
If members of the local community end up policing Minneapolis, what might that look like? Back in 2016, a series of Minneapolis Muslims in man-on-the-street interviews stated matter-of-factly that they preferred Islamic law over American law. We have seen Sharia patrols in Germany, Britain, and even New York City, where the Muslim Community Patrol (MCP) is decked out in uniforms that strong resemble New York Police Department uniforms, and drives cars carefully designed to look like NYPD cars, to enforce “fundamentals of the Sharia.”
Muslim leader Siraj Wahhaj explained what that meant: “The mosques need protection and the MCP cars can help stop people who were not following the rules and regulations of the sharia, doing what they’re not supposed to be doing, but still doing it.” According to a Muslim involved with the MCP, this would involve stopping “Muslim women being out after dark, Muslim men hanging out in the corners doing dope, Muslims drinking liquor,” and enforcing, “basically, the fundamentals of the Sharia.”
If such a community patrol is launched in Minneapolis, it is likely to focus on the same things, but not do anything about the fact that the 5th Congressional District in Minneapolis, Rep. Ilhan Omar’s district, is the jihad terror recruitment capital of the United States. Stopping young Muslims from engaging in jihad activity is unlikely to be a high priority for a group that is dedicated to enforcing Sharia, since Sharia calls upon Muslims to wage war against and subjugate unbelievers.
The Sharia enforcers’ hard-Left allies in Antifa would have no problem with this. Islam historically has never had any difficulty coexisting with authoritarian governments; in fact, it is free republics that have never proved to be compatible with Islamic law. Consequently, Steve Green’s words don’t appear farfetched at all. The unholy alliance of Leftists and Islamic supremacists sees that its moment is now, and is grabbing all it can.
How likely is it that Minneapolis really could end up under Islamic rule, with the blessing and cooperation of the hard-Left? According to the Minnesota Reformer, another Minnesota state Representative, Mohamud Noor of Minneapolis, did not deny the truth of Green’s statements. Instead, when asked about them, he “said rather than talk about things that inflame people and create division, Minnesota needs to address the challenge before it.” And of course, talk of Antifa/Islamic rule in Minneapolis might “inflame people,” so keep quiet. Keep quiet, that is, if you oppose such an eventuality, not if you favor it. Said Noor: “Minnesota is awake. They understand the challenges; they have been hearing the challenges for far too long. And we can’t wait any longer.”
Steve Green may turn out to have been a prophetic voice far sooner than anyone expects. And if any free people who may still be in Minneapolis want to head this off, the time is now to “inflame people” – not to riot and destroy after the manner of the Left, but to stand up decisively now and stop the power-grab of these insidious totalitarian forces.

Muslim Group Run by Broward Deputy Sheriff Calls for End of Police
Muslim Group Run by Broward Deputy Sheriff Calls for End of Police
CAIR operative Nezar Hamze is a threat to his fellows in law enforcement.
Joe Kaufman, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is Chairman of the Joe Kaufman Security Initiative and the 2014, 2016 and 2018 Republican Nominee for U.S. House of Representatives (Florida-CD23).
The call for “no cops” was heard loudly throughout a rally held, last month, in Downtown Miami, Florida. This was not unlike many other rallies that were taking place around the nation, at the same time, protests in the name of George Floyd, a black male who lost his life while being detained by police. However, this particular rally was co-sponsored by a group headed by a Deputy Sheriff. The group is a radical Muslim outfit, the South Florida Muslim Federation (SFMF), and its and its leader Nezar Hamze’s actions are helping to endanger members of law enforcement.
Nezar Jason Hamze’s hire as a Deputy Sheriff by the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) was and still is a matter of controversy. All three of the BSO Majors who had evaluated Hamze, during the hiring process, had unanimously recommended Hamze not be hired. Hamze was found to be lying on his polygraph exam about the “use of” and “buying illegal drugs.” More than that, Hamze, at the time, was a representative for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an organization with foundational and financial ties to Hamas.
Today, Hamze is the Executive Director of the South Florida Muslim Federation or SoFlo Muslims, an umbrella organization for South Florida’s many Islamic extremist groups and terror-tied mosques. One member mosque, Masjid Jamaat Al-Mumineen (MJAM), currently contains on its official website a book library filled with texts promoting female genital mutilation, death punishments for homosexuals, stoning of women, and hatred of Jews, Christians and Hindus. One MJAM text, Tafsir Ibn Kathir, states, “[B]eware of the Jews, your enemies… [D]o not be deceived by them, for they are liars, treacherous and disbelievers… [T]hey are the enemies of Islam and its people, may Allah curse them.”
On May 31st, SFMF co-sponsored a rally at Miami’s Torch of Friendship, titled ‘JUSTICE FOR GEORGE FLOYD.’ The other sponsor was the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), which has been involved in organizing a number of these demonstrations around the nation. ICNA is the American arm of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), the largest Islamist group in South Asia, and partners with JI and its affiliates overseas. This, while JI supports and finances Hamas and has its own terrorist apparatus, Hizbul-Mujahideen, which, like Hamas, is designated a terrorist group by the United States government.
According to the Miami Herald, roughly 100 people attended the rally. Representing SFMF and ICNA at the event were: the President of SFMF’s Executive Committee, Samir Kakli; SFMF Public Relations Director Wilfredo Ruiz; SFMF Broward County Representative and contact for the rally, Yunus Ismail; and SFMF Palm Beach County Representative and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of ICNA Relief USA, Abdul Rauf Khan.
Noticeably absent from the rally was South Florida Muslim Federation Executive Director Nezar Hamze. Why? Maybe Hamze was concerned that he would be caught on video, while his group cursed his fellow police officers. Given what took place at the rally, he had a right to be concerned, as this was a protest against police as much if not more than anything else.
One of the speakers at the rally was introduced as “Eric from Dream Defenders.” He stated, “We elected a State Attorney, and we can literally defund the police. We don’t need police running around our streets.” Heavily involved in the protests following the death of George Floyd, Dream Defenders spews vitriol against members of law enforcement with terms like “F**k 12,” code for “F**k the police.” The group uses social media to promote violent Socialist movements, including the Sandinistas, the Zapatistas, the Black Panthers, the Mozambique Liberation Front, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which the US government designates a terrorist group.
Throughout the rally, chants of “NO COPS, NO KKK, NO RACIST USA” were shouted by the rally leader and loudly repeated by participants. Signs were displayed by rally goers stating exactly the same. One of them was held up by SFMF’s Yunus Ismail, whose photo with the sign is showcased proudly on the SFMF website. Following the speeches, the rally goers joined up with others to march through Downtown Miami. The “NO COPS” chant continued to be belted out by the crowd.
This rally and others like it have created an atmosphere where police officers are made targets of abuse and violence. Indeed, during the countrywide protests/riots in George Floyd’s name, whilst attendees proclaim “BLACK LIVES MATTER,” a number of officers have been injured and/or murdered.
For Nezar Hamze to allow the organization he runs to be involved in such a blatant show of disrespect (and worse) to police speaks volumes about how Hamze views his fellow officers. No doubt, Hamze is an Islamist fifth column within the department.
According to advertisements found on SFMF’s website and Facebook page, on June 13th, Hamze along with CAIR-Florida Executive Director Hassan Shibly were to have given a presentation sponsored by CAIR, titled ‘WHAT TO DO WHEN LAW ENFORCEMENT WANTS TO TALK TO YOU.’ These CAIR presentations are made to stoke fear within the Muslim community, teaching those who would listen to this sinister and insidious message that police are not to be trusted nor spoken to. These events, too, assist in creating the toxic atmosphere that endangers police and undermines law enforcement’s ability to protect citizens.
Nezar Hamze should not be involved in any aspect of law enforcement, as his and his organization’s actions are threats to and in opposition to law enforcement. The rally and his lecture are prime examples of why he should hand in his gun and badge. Hamze should be forced to resign immediately. He is a danger to both police and public safety.
