The that this had formed the for the program.
Joining us now is -- Jessica he's the -- all of a battle for the soul of Islam and American Muslim patriots fight to save his face.
Doctor -- a welcome back it is being about trying to attach itself to this party crashed upon the united and.
Well absolutely and that's the way these islamists operating in all I know this group led been to Charlotte this part of a town hall let congresswoman -- Eric had a couple years ago.
And these are no moderates.
And by the way the DNC Stewart has had an opportunity to distance itself and it hasn't that simply gave a boilerplate answer that than what was a lot of groups that function -- on the convention.
And they've basically dismissed it -- my response to them is if this was the kkk or the Nazi party would they allow.
Then too -- use the DNC's name on their Berkshire's or on the website for the convention that announces this prayer so you I think it's very telling did they haven't said anything did you think -- Is as extreme.
As the kkk all that some of the other obvious extremist groups that you -- on -- Who is going to be speaking at this event walk -- of people -- represented here.
Well that the main spokesperson Niger real -- by just last night Steward on channel nine in Charlotte said that American troops were like.
He compared he said the Muslims and Afghanistan were defending themselves -- it was the American troops that -- the insurgents that were basically the imperialists so.
This guy is not pro American he's anti American.
The main.
And I saw him hold up a coroner front of 20000 Muslims and say that we need to change the constitution -- this book from god.
Basically he is the insurgent and these groups -- the deal of political correctness and and by the way.
This group also.
Formed an organization called the Islamic political party of America in 2008 and now has since.
Disbanded some of it but they clearly are part of the global Islamist movement and are really an insurgency within this country.
That would be facilities that would embarrass the Democrats wouldn't attack if 20000 people that -- a weekend long meeting right next to the convention right before the convention is that an embarrassment for the Democrats and that's the well.
I would look at it.
Apps and that's why it's so important that -- and I'm glad you're covering this in you know I think they're tone deaf to this they really think that Muslims are just part of that.
Minority -- and they don't put it in -- context of terrorism of radicalization here domestically.
Of the Islamist issue in Middle East etc.
so there's so tone deaf to what this group may represent of the fact that they don't represent mainstream Muslims.
And I believe the majority of Muslims in Charlotte and elsewhere would actually -- this group.
But yet they allow themselves to be represented in the media and the DNC.
Allow these people to represent Muslims when in fact there's simply.
A political movement that must be marginalized.
