Illinois Islamist Lebanese cleric and Muslim Brotherhood member Sheikh Kifah Mustapha has called for Muslims to take positions throughout major American institutions, including law enforcement, federal agencies, the Pentagon, White House and U.S. Senate.
Speaking during Friday prayers, Mustapha said:
“We want Muslims in the police, as federal agents, in the fire department, in the Pentagon, in the White House. We want Muslims in the Senate…you name it. Because we believe that if we can produce leaders that still can hold on to some of these values, we can change the world, inshallah.”
Mustapha is the Imam and Director of the Prayer Center of Orland Park and chairman of the Illinois Council of Imams and Scholars. He has also served at several other Chicago-area mosques and received a CAIR-Chicago Mobilizer Award.
Mustapha was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the federal Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing case and was identified in court documents as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee.
The Muslim Brotherhood is considered the largest and best-organized Islamist group in the world, and is backed by Qatar and Turkey.
The Holy Land Foundation case ultimately resulted in five officials being convicted of providing millions of dollars to Hamas.
