Tweet of the Day

 
Obama's Anti-Israel Faith Advisor

Most Americans have never heard of Dalia Mogahed. She is Executive Director of and Senior Analyst for the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies. In 2009 Barack Obama appointed her to his Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, previously known as the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. Mogahed is making headlines not for her scholarly research, but for a Tweet she sent on March 10:

"To those siding w/Assad: he cannot deliver stability, protection of minorities, or resistance to Israel. He is a killer w/o legitimacy."
So just to be clear, Obama's faith advisor wants Bashar al-Assad gone in part because he is insufficiently anti-Israel. She wants the civil war in Syria to end so that a new government can get around to more important things like delivering more "resistance to Israel."

Of course, this raises questions about what kind of advice Mogahed gave on the president's Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships council and why Obama appointed her in the first place.
