Wajahat Ali is a Daily Beast columnist whose writings have appeared in the New York Times and the Qatari government-funded Al Jazeera. He is now exploiting the “Islamophobia” subterfuge in the aftermath of the jihad terror hostage-taking incident at the Texas synagogue, as Jihad Watch noted here. Brett Taylor also wrote on Twitchy:

Daily Beast columnist Wahajat Ali is already prepping people for the ugly and vicious Islamophobic they’re about to hear from elected officials, commentators, and even mainstream media pundits this weekend. Actually, we’re betting the story is out of the media by Monday.

Ali made the hostage-taking incident at the Colleyville synagogue in Texas all about “Islamophobia.” Taylor presents screenshots of Wajahat Ali’s obsession with “Islamophobia,” with no concern for those who were taken hostage in Texas.

But there is more. Ali has called for the freeing of convicted jihad terrorist Aafia Siddiqui. Malik Faisal Akram took hostages in a Texas synagogue in order to demand that Siddiqui be freed. 

Twitchy’s headline: “Well, THIS is interesting: Wajahat Ali TRIPS over old ‘Justice for Aafia’ tweet while screeching about Islamophobia after TX synagogue hostage situation.” 

Ali is just one of many who are focusing on “Islamophobia” while ignoring and subtly undermining the antisemitism of the attack itself. Wajahat Ali has a counterpart in Canada: Mohammed Hashim, Executive Director of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF), who slammed Israel in a tweet as he rambled about the antisemitic attack on the Texas synagogue

Consider the ramifications of Hashim’s statement that “if Jewish orgs were less supportive of Israel  then it would be easier to work with them.” Which Jewish orgs might those be? He does not say.

Mohammed Hashim was described in the Toronto Sun as the “spin doctor” behind the infamous Toronto Danforth shooter, Faisal Hussain, and a “driving force behind the National Council of Canadian Muslims,” an offshoot of CAIR. According to the Toronto Sun:

The man who has presented himself as the point of contact for the family of Faisal Hussain is a professional activist who has reportedly committed himself to “framing a new narrative of Muslims in Canada” and creating a “national political movement.”

Hashim went on to become Executive Director of the CRRF. This was the same foundation that the Trudeau government fired me from for writing for Jihad Watch and exposing the jihad ideology, which has nothing to do with race. Now, in the wake of the Texas synagogue jihad terror incident, Hashim takes a cheap shot at the state of Israel, while clumsily claiming that the incident made him feel as if his heart had stopped. He also added, not so subtly, that he’s “seen bloody carpets and bullet holes in a place you pray in.” Any guesses what he might be referencing? Talk about “spin.”
