[http://blog.americancongressfortruth.com/wp-content/2008/03/2038907629.jpg] We got an email from “Rona” in Denver with a chilling, bizarre story. A story that is a cautionary tale about how far radical leftist Islamists will go to enter the political process here in the US. This is occurring in a Colorado State House District No. 6 race in a predominately Jewish and Democratic district. Ms. Rima Barakat Sinclair has insinuated herself into the GOP nomination by a slim 25 to 23 votes. Barakat has used every trick in the taqiyya playbook and is on the steering committee of a national group called euphemistically, Muslims Intent on Learning and Action (MILA) with the objective of placing themselves in the political process. Barakat, according to the “View from a Height” blog by Joshua Scharf engages in artful dodging. Witness this comment:

Mrs. Barakat Sinclair is a local Muslim activist, who 1) works to discredit Israel and for its destruction, 2) has a stated goal of getting Muslims involved in the political process, and 3) builds alliances with mainline and liberal American churches, and leftist political organizations. When engaged in anti-Israel propaganda, she usually goes by Rima Barakat. When engaged in broader political work, she goes by Rima Sinclair, as she did at the Assembly.

When asked questions about terror, she responds with moral equivalence, and then proceeds to outright fabrications. In order to discredit MEMRI, practically the only English-language source covering Arab Friday sermons broadcast on state media, she magnifies small discrepancies into malicious conspiracies. She claimed, on air, that the Hamas Charter does not call for the destruction of Israel.

Watch her in this local Denver CBS interview during the Second Lebanon War in August 2006 calling Israel “babykillers”.

But look how she got started nationally:

Her activities may not always have been so benign towards America herself. She served as a translator for CNN during the opening weeks of the Iraq War, a time when American and British soldiers and Marines alike were disgusted by the network’s coverage (”A Front-Row Seat to the War in Iraq,” Rocky Mountain News - April 14, 2003).

The Democratic field in Colorado House District is ‘crowded’. So does that mean that Ms. Barakat could possibly cop the prize and thumb her nose at Jewish constituents if, incredibly, she wins? This could be ultimate Chutzpah. Stay tuned. Rona is right this is a story of national interest and illustrative of what the next wave of radical leftist Islamists in our midst will do to gain control over our political system.

Email from Rona

Rima Barakat Sinclair is a leftist pro-Palestinian activist. By misrepresenting herself as a conservative, she won the REPUBLICAN nomination by 25-23 votes in a key Denver district, which has the largest per capita Jewish population in Colorado! She is pulling a Bloomberg, bypassing the crowded field of Democrat candidates by running as a Republican.

I think this story has much more than just local interest, at the very least from the point of view of Muslims using taqiyya as a strategy to gain influence from within the political system.

She is a member of the Steering Committee of MILA, Muslims Intent on Learning and Action, a group with the purpose of getting Muslims involved in the political process.

My concern is not that she will win the seat but that this is a real perversion of our democratic process. It’s not only that she is lying about her positions - that’d hardly be a first in politics - it’s that she is, IMO waging jihad dressed up as a Republican candidate.

Please read and help to spread this story by posting on your blog and/or circulating it, if you agree it’s an important story.
