Clinton Invites Controversial Muslim Leader on Conference Call
A Muslim leader invited by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to participate in a conference call after President Obama’s speech in Cairo last week once told a crowd that “the jihad way is the way to liberate your land.”
Esam Omeish, a surgeon and community leader who is running for Virginia state assemblyman, made the statements in 2000 at pro-Palestinian rally where he spoke out against Israel and urged Muslims to support the Palestinian liberation movement.
“We the Muslims of the Washington Metropolitan area are here today in sub-freezing temperatures to tell our brothers and sisters in (Palestine) that you have learned the way, that you have known that the jihad way is the way to liberate your land,” Omeish said, just three months into the Al-Aqsa uprising that would claim over a thousand lives through Palestinian terrorist attacks.
