How ‘Freedom Center Investigates’ Helped Block Terror Imam from Trump Inauguration—Investigative Journalism Matters

When the Trump inauguration program was first leaked, included was a ‘benediction’ from Imam Husham Al-Husainy, a Dearborn Michigan Shiite Muslim cleric who had demonstrated trouble before concerning his views on Hezbollah as well as his ties with radical Islam.

This from frontpagemag.com.

Freedom Center Investigates jumped into action compiling an extensive Twitter thread and other tweets that received around half a million views and was retweeted by, among others, Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

We turned up everything:

– videos in which Al-Husainy screamed at Sean Hannity and refused to answer if he supported Hezbollah after an appearance at the DNC,

– a rally in which he shouted about “agents of the Jews”,

– videos in which he appeared to curse Christians,

– faked hate crimes being used to push Sharia law,

– description of Iranian terror leader Soleimani as a martyr, and

– a letter urging ‘our sons to get ready to carry out their duty in Holy Jihad and continue the path which our young valiant men in Hezbollah began in Southern Lebanon.’

Front Page Magazine also published an extensive article,The Imam on Trump’s Inauguration Program digging into Al-Husainy’s past.

The information was shocking

and it brought about quick results.

Along with Sam Westrop at the Middle East Forum, founded by Daniel Pipes, who also conducted an intrepid investigation, and whose work led to mainstream media coverage.

[W]ord spread, and action was taken

within the Trump camp.

The new program no longer featured Al-Husainy. He had disappeared.

As we watched President Trump’s inauguration ceremony, We the People cautiously held our breaths for the moment Al-Husainy would be announced to provide a moslem benediction.

Thankfully, prayerfully Al-Husainy had been scrubbed from the program. Common sense had prevailed.

This story shows the vital importance of investigative journalism. Freedom Center Investigates is not a partisan organization. They follow the truth where it leads. May they please continue exposing dark forces wherever they hide.
