As he campaigned to be Minnesota’s next governor, Tim Walz called a Muslim cleric who promoted a pro-Adolf Hitler film a “master teacher” who offered Walz lessons over the time they “spent together,” according to footage at a 2018 event unearthed by the Washington Examiner.
News of the footage comes after a spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign said in a Friday statement that Walz does not “have a personal relationship” with Asad Zaman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota. That claim was in response to a Washington Examiner report on how Walz, the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee, repeatedly hosted the imam at events as the governor of Minnesota. At several of those events, Zaman also spoke before Walz.
“I would like to first of all say thank you to imam,” Walz said at the unearthed 2018 event, which was hosted by Minnesota’s Muslim American Society on Feb. 16, 2018, at the South Metro Islamic Center in Rosemount, Minnesota. Standing next to Walz as he spoke was Peggy Flanagan, now the lieutenant governor in the Gopher State.
“I am a teacher, so when I see a master teacher, I know it. Over the time we’ve spent together, one of the things I’ve had the privilege of is seeing the things in life through the eye of a master teacher, to try and get the understanding,” Walz said of Zaman at the event, before discussing a prior attack at the Dar al Farooq Islamic Center in Minnesota. “It was imam talking [saying that] ‘in those times is where we find who we are, in those times is where we really see.’
“That brings me to the second lesson that imam taught me,” Walz said, describing how Congress “feeds on fear more than hope” and “division.”
“It was a lesson when imam told me to go speak to people,” Walz also said at the event. “I have pushed back through my whole career on the demonization of Islam, on the demonization of immigrants. … In this space, Imam Zaman is right on this, there is Islamophobia, there is a hatred that is being stirred.”
Zaman, who is the director of Minnesota’s Muslim American Society, asserted on Oct. 7, 2023, that he “stands in solidarity with Palestinians against Israeli attacks” after 1,200 Israelis were killed by Hamas terrorists. His organization, which has a related chapter that once came under fire following children at a 2019 event it hosted calling for murdering Jews, said on Oct. 7 that it “reaffirms its unwavering support for the Palestinian people in their struggle against the Israeli occupation.”
I guess we can just forget about either of these f**king cowards actually making a statement of their own and answering questions about it, huh?
Islamists who push Sharia are willing to walk arm in arm with commies and socialists, for the present.
The commies and socialists see fellow travelers in Islamists.
Both are totalitarians.
But the difference is the commitment of their followers. Commies and socialist totalitarian wanna-be’s surround themselves with useful idiots who may or may not commit to fight for them at any one time.
Islamists relay on Sharia, using the Koran/Hadiths to emotionally blackmail fighters into dying for them.
The threat of eternal suffering for their human failings is offset by the promise of paradise IF they do their part in a holy war (jihad.)
Advantage Islam.
Every time.
And the cleric knows he’s the one who has Walz as his useful idiot.
Muslims can do a few things to such useful idiots.
They can let them live in a debased manner, serving them as dhimmis.
Or, they can kill them as killing infidels is totally legal under Sharia.
Walz is like The Golden Man from a episode of Lost in Space he seems Handsome and Polite but in realty he is a Hideous Monster
Walz is Not Good for America so don’t let the M.S. Media Bottom Feeders to convince you to vote for Harris/Walz
Why wouldn’t Walz, who practices fascism, love a Hitler-loving Imam? It’s just birds of a chicken feather.
Hitler was into Gun Control and was very Anti-Chirstian
