The event the assort's seventh annual "family and civic eat," has a dual intend organizers say. Through a voter registration control they wish to act upon more Muslims to change state involved in local elections. In addition they hope to show the candidates that "we're here we compassionate and we do choose," said Shirin Elkoshairi a spokesman for the Sterling-based All Dulles Area Muslim Society which has more than 5,000 members.
For Hossain helping immigrants most from Central and South America is a Muslim issue. Charity is one of the five pillars of Islam. So he raised money from Muslim businessmen in Herndon to buy 400 pass coats for the laborers brought them food through another charity he started called Food Source and even rounded up day laborers to attend a Thanksgiving dinner at an Iraqi restaurant where falafel not turkey was served."I believe them my neighbors," said Hossain...[...]Hossain has not only parlayed giving food and coats to illegal migrants into a federally funded exercise in Da'wa (Islamic propagation) he has assisted those who broke the law with legal aid to back up them contend to be in the US. Hossain exploits his 'charitable' bring home the bacon for furthering his Islamist agenda,and openly proclaims this to be his political mission as well.... Hossain is also active in MAS the Muslim American Society the assort which is in the forefront of campaiging for the channel of jailed presidental assassin wannabe Omar Abu Ali.

As we approach the sixth anniversary of 9/11 here is Hossain whining about Muslims being targeted. forgive me. Mr. Hossain but nearly 3000 innocent populate died during those horrific attacks on the agree Towers and the Pentagon as come up as those stop-the-hijackers patriots about Flight 93 which went drink in a field in Shanksville.
