“ALLAHU AKBAR” RULES AT MINNESOTA VIKINGS STADIUM, Super
Eid “rally” features roster of scary speakers with Jihadist ties. By Matthew
Vadum, 8/22/18.
As
Islamic leaders with ties to terrorism addressed them, thousands of Muslims
chanted the jihadist battle cry “Allahu Akbar” at taxpayer-funded U.S. Bank
Stadium in Minneapolis yesterday as part of a huge celebration of the Muslim
festival of animal sacrifice known as Eid al-Adha.
One
media estimate put the size of the crowd at 30,000.
“Allahu
Akbar” is not an innocuous phrase. It is generally the last thing victims of
Muslim terrorism around the world hear as their lives are cut short at the
hands of groups like Islamic State or al-Qaeda. The phrase means “God is
greater,” but there is more to it. It is a cheer that goes back to the
still-celebrated Muslim slaughter of Jews at Khaybar in 628. It means the
Muslim deity, Allah, is greater than the religions of those vanquished by
Islam. It is an active, actionable threat to all non-Muslims, a belligerent
statement of Islamic supremacy.
As
Daniel Greenfield writes: “Allahu Akbar”
isn’t merely associated with terrorist attacks. It’s the reason for those
attacks.
Muslims kill non-Muslims to prove that, “Allahu
Akbar”: that Allah is greater [than] the religions of their victims.
“Allahu Akbar” is the motive for Islamic terrorism.
The
organization putting on the event, Super Eid, previously said it hoped to
attract 50,000 people to the morning event and to a celebration afterwards at a
nearby park.
It’s
not clear who funded Super Eid but it seems unlikely such a large gathering
could have been arranged without major corporate sponsorship.
Strangely,
up until the night before Super Eid, the gathering did not appear in the
stadium’s event listings. The next upcoming events listed were an Aug. 24
pre-season game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Seattle Seahawks and an
Aug. 31 concert by singer Taylor Swift.
Streets often run red with blood during the organized
ritualistic slaughter of animals that takes place during Eid. To avoid adverse
publicity, the media-savvy organizers of Super Eid opted not to butcher animals
at U.S. Bank Stadium – they set up a petting zoo featuring farm animals outside
the facility. Instead, they were expected to dismember animals off-site in
connection with the holiday.
U.S.
Bank Stadium was the site of Super Bowl LII (52), a game that pitted the Philadelphia Eagles against the New England Patriots in February of this year. Although
local mosques in the Twin Cities hold their own prayer services for Eid, “this
year with more than two dozen mosques all coming together at U.S. Bank Stadium,
they’re calling it Super Eid,” according to KMSP-TV.
"I
guess that is the core of what is the difference between 'Super Eid' and normal
Eid," said event organizer Asad Zaman, who is also the imam
and executive director of the Muslim American Society (MAS) of Minnesota.
"We're doing it together. And this has a lot to do with the fact that our
community is maturing and growing, and that the U.S. Bank stadium happens to be
available at this time."
Among
the listed speakers at Super Eid was a dangerous
Islamist figure with ties to the international terrorist underworld.
Waleed
al-Maneese (also spelled al-Meneesy) is president of Islamic University of Minnesota, a school the
indispensable John Rossomando of the Investigative Project on Terrorism describes as a “hotbed of extremism.”
He
writes: The university's website cites
recognition by Holy Quran University in the Sudan, founded in 1990 by the
regime of Sudanese war criminal and President Omar al-Bashir. Holy Quran
University's leaders signed a 2002 declaration saying it was forbidden for
Muslims to buy American and Israeli goods.
IUM
claims to be the official representative in the U.S. and Canada of “Sunni
Islam's most important institution – Al-Azhar University, which has grown
increasingly radical.”
Al-Azhar
has refused to disavow Islamic State. IUM embraces Islamic State beliefs,
teaching its American students that "Killing a Muslim who does not pray,
one who leaves Islam, prisoners and infidels within Islam [those who do not
have a clearly specified creed or sect]. [It also allows] gouging their eyes
and chopping off their hands and feet, as well as banning the construction of
churches and discriminating between Muslims and Ahl al-Kitab [Christians and
Jews], and insulting them at times."
Maneese,
who sits on the fatwa committee of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists Association
of America (AMJA), wrote a 2007 paper for the group asserting that Muslims
should avoid non-Islamic, non-sharia, courts, especially those in the West that
follow “man-made” law. "The authority to legislate rests with Allah
alone," he wrote.
Maneese
is also imam and president of the board of trustees of the notorious Dar-al-Farooq Islamic Center.
At
least five of his followers left the U.S. to fight on behalf of Islamic State.
Another
individual identified as a speaker at Super Eid is Asad Zaman, who helped
organize the event. As noted above, he runs the Muslim American Society of
Minnesota.
MAS was founded by members of the Muslim
Brotherhood. Along with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), MAS
has been designated as a terrorist group by the United Arab Emirates.
Zaman also heads the infamous Tarek bin Ziyad
Academy, a taxpayer-supported Islamist school.
Local
politicians participated in Super Eid.
Democratic
candidate for Minnesota governor, Tim Walz, took to Twitter to praise the event after
attending it.
“Thank
you to the Minnesota Muslim community and Super Eid for inviting me to the
celebration and prayer at U.S. Bank Stadium this morning. Gwen [his wife] and I
wish you #EidMubarak.”
In-your-face
Muslim lawmaker U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) attended the event,
reportedly gave a speech, and posted a photo with a fan at his campaign account on Twitter.
"Joining
thousands of Minnesota at U.S. Bank Stadium to celebrate Eid al-Adha. Powerful.
#SuperEid[,]” he tweeted.
It
is unclear what Ellison, a man accused of serial domestic abuse now running to
be attorney general of Minnesota, said in his speech. The six-term congressman
and deputy chairman of the Democratic National Committee decided not to seek
reelection in his ultra-safe seat in Minneapolis.
If
only the media had bothered to report what the super-newsworthy figure had to
say yesterday at Super Eid.
Minnesota Muslims didn’t turn out 50,000 EID celebrants…

Update: Matthew
Vadum writing at Frontpage magazine has a piece today on
the gathering.
I’ve
been looking around for a
story that might
best summarize what happened yesterday when Muslims in a supposed demonstration
of power held a ‘religious’ event at Vikings Stadium in Minnesota.
When
I find more stories I’ll update this post, but here is a
report by Pamela
Geller re-posted
at the DC
Clothesline with lots of photos including this
one—men in front and women behind as is the tradition in Islam.

How did Minnesota get so many Somalis? For new readers and longtime readers who
may have forgotten, go here to
my 2011 post that answers the question—it is one of my top most-read posts of
all time. Three federal resettlement contractors got the ball rolling
because cheap laborers were needed and because Minnesota was a generous welfare
state.
Now
Minnesota is the top secondary migration state for Somali refugees as they head
there to be with their own kind of people and build a power base.
