Muslim American Society official Mahdi Bray has spoken to the Northern Virginia Daily about the video in which he’s seen cheering, as imprisoned Islamist leader Abdurrahman Alamoudi announces his support for Hamas and Hizballah: Gilbert, Athey criticize Kaine: Delegates - Ties too close.
It was all a joke. They were all kidding.
Bray said Monday that he and others at the video weren’t cheering for the terrorist organizations.
“The majority of the people they were kind of raising their hands, and kind of cheering, and so on because this was so uncharacteristic of al-Amoudi,” Bray said. “We didn’t know he had a problem with law enforcement. He was considered the pillar of the American Muslim community.”
Bray said his gestures weren’t in support of Hamas and Hezbollah.
“You saw me pumping my fists. You didn’t see me raising my hands. If they had shown the audience, you would have seen people in the audience raising their hands and falling out laughing,” he said. “For him to come and make these kinds of radical rants, no one took him seriously.”
Oh brother. They really do take Americans for idiots, don’t they?
Here’s the video again, so we can all laugh along:
