Governer's Jihadi Appointee Resigns: "The Jihad Way"

The guy is a jihadi, of course he had to resign. That is not what is disturbing. What is disturbing is the asshat Governor that appointed him. Think about it.

VIRGINIA JIHADI APPOINTEE RESIGNS AFTER VIDEOS Investigative Project

RICHMOND, Va. — A member of the state's Commission of Immigration resigned Thursday, a few hours after Gov. Timothy M. Kaine was told about online videos showing the appointee condemning Israel and advocating "the jihad way."
Kaine issued a statement saying he had accepted the resignation of Dr. Esam S. Omeish. He said Omeish offered to resign because he didn't want anything to distract the work of the commission.
In a video that appears on YouTube, Omeish, who is president of the Muslim American Society and chief of the division of general surgery at INOVA Alexandria Hospital, is shown at an August 2006 rally in Washington denouncing an invasion of Lebanon by the "Israeli war machine."
Omeish also accuses Israel of genocide and massacres against Palestinians and said the "Israeli agenda" controls Congress.
In a separate, undated video, Omeish tells a crowd of Washington-area Muslims: "...you have learned the way, that you have known that the jihad way is the way to liberate your land." That video was credited to Investigative Project, a Washington-based organization that investigates radical Islamic organizations.
A caller to Kaine's program on WRVA radio in Richmond asked the governor Thursday morning about the Omeish appointment and the video.
"That is news to me, what you say, and it's something we will check out," Kaine told the caller, identified on the air only by the name Kent.

Putz! Vet before appointing!

Kaine spokesman Kevin Hall said the governor tried to call Omeish afterward and also watched the videos. In the statement released later Thursday, Kaine said he was concerned by what he heard on the videos.
Mahdi Bray , a spokesman for the MAS, said Omeish was not available for comment.
Omeish was among 10 appointments Kaine made on Aug. 2 to a 20-member panel created this year by the General Assembly to assess the benefits and costs of immigration and the effects on federal immigration policies on the state. The commission met in Richmond for the first time Tuesday.
 
***NOTE FROM IPT: Another video of Omeish congratulating Palestinians who gave their lives "for the sake of Allah" can be found here.

Governor Kaine is a show boater and turning into another Slick Willie. When he was campaigning he claimed to be pro-2nd Amendment but his, get this, "hand-picked" Virginia Tech Review Panel is making recommendation for more gun control in VA.

Governor Kaine... how can you appoint Omiesh without checking him out??? Don't the Boy Scouts check potential Scout leaders?? Oh, wait, you hate the Boy Scouts, like any liberal Democrat.

A Muslim doctor supports the "jihad way." A doctor (a healer by vocation) advocates violence? It sounds like VA has become Scotland - where other doctors tried to blown up and burn down Glasgow. Or maybe "Virginia is for Lovers"....of jihad.

On 9/11, Dr. Omeish was the surgeon on call for injuries at the Pentagon.

Also, he is a frequent writer of letters to the editor at the WaPo. The WaPo refused, after much consideration, to publish my responses to him.

Dr. Omeish has been touted as one of those moderate Muslims. Hmmmmm..... Not exactly!

I think that he's going to try some damage control this morning, when he holds a press conference. Taqiyya alert!

I hate to say this but I hope more and more doctors are exposed as Jihadis... and other Professsionals too.

That will put to rest the Leftist/Marxist talking point that this is a poverty issue.

Would someone throw rotten tomatoes at
Omeish?

Oh, for the good old day, where one could throw rotten tomatoes at speakers, the crowd disapproved of.

Allat- a Pagan

Our political leadership is killing us.

I asked about this on another blog, and it turns out that this Omeish guy has contributed to the campaign of Keith Ellison. Even more interestingly, his brother donated to Cynthis McKinney on 9/11/2001.

Ayn Rand at 100: "Yours is the Glory"

  • Aynrandstamp_1

  • Speaking to the unnamed, unchampioned, beating heart of her new land, Ayn was to say: 'Yours is the glory.'"
    A man whose ability and independence leads others to reject him, but who perseveres nevertheless to achieve his values. Man as an individual, as a creator. What's the most depraved type of human being? Not a sadist or a murderer or a sex maniac or a dictator; "The man without a purpose." Yet most people seem to go through their lives without a clearly defined purpose.

  • Life has Loveliness to sell,
    All beautiful and splendid things,
    Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
    Soaring fires that sways and swing,
    And children's faces looking up,
    Holding wonder like a cup

    Life has Loveliness to sell,
    Music like a curve of Gold,
    Scent of pinetrees in the rain,
    Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
    And for your spirit's still delight,
    Holy stars that star the night.

    Spend all you have for loveliness,
    Buy it and never count the cost;
    For one white singing hour of Peace
    Count many a year of strife well lost
    And for a breath of ecstasy
    Give all you have been, or could be.
