AMANA Director Sofian Zakkout shares material from website praising Adolf Hitler.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sofian Abdelaziz Zakkout, the Director of the Miami, Florida-based American Muslim Association of North America (AMANA), is advertising on social media a report claiming that the Holocaust perpetrated by Nazi Germany during the 1930s and 1940s was fabricated. This is just one example of many of how Zakkout has belittled and maligned members of the Jewish community and others with the most grotesque manifestations of bigotry \u2013 and that\u2019s just in this past month!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

On February 14th, Zakkout took to Facebook to promote a report questioning the validity of the Holocaust, entitled, \u2018How the Holocaust was faked.\u2019 The piece, which includes gruesome photos of dead bodies piled upon one another, begins, \u201cThe alleged \u2018Holocaust\u2019 of \u20186 million Jews\u2019 at the hands of Adolf Hitler and National Socialist Germany during WWII is the biggest lie ever foisted upon humanity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The piece was produced by The Realist Report, a white supremacist outfit located on the outskirts of San Diego, California that regularly targets Jews, blacks and homosexuals. On the group\u2019s website, its viewers are commanded to: \u201cFight White Genocide. Rise up against the destruction of your race!\u201d while an accompanying video\u2019s narrator ominously states, \u201cWe are told to accept our inevitable brown future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In April 2013, The Realist Report devoted an entire page on its website to offer birthday wishes to Adolf Hitler. The page states, \u201cHappy Birthday, Adolf Hitler. You were and remain the greatest leader in modern Western history, and offer unparalleled inspiration and guidance to us all. God bless you, and may you forever rest in peace. Heil Hitler!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Zakkout\u2019s embrace of material from white supremacists is nothing new. In the recent past, he has shared information on his Facebook page from Hitler devotees, and he has a long history of support for former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. Indeed, on February 26th, Zakkout wrote of Duke, \u201cI respect him for his honesty!\u201d Zakkout wrote this for a vile anti-Semitic Duke diatribe claiming to expose Jews \u201cwho orchestrate the destruction of European mankind.\u201d Previously, in October 2015, Zakkout praised Duke, referring to him as \u201cDavid Duke, a man to believe in!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Zakkout\u2019s promotion of Nazism and white supremacists is only eclipsed by his support for the terrorist organization Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n

On February 15th, Zakkout posted onto his Facebook site a video of Abdul Hakim Hanine, one of the founders of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the militant wing of Hamas. Zakkout described him as \u201ccourageous\u201d and a \u201chero.\u201d On February 17th, he posted onto his Facebook site a video honoring a number of members of al-Qassam Brigades. In the images, the terrorists are depicted wearing their Hamas insignias and brandishing rifles and rocket launchers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zakkout has been up front in his feelings towards Hamas and violent Hamas doctrine. In August 2015, he stated in Arabic, \u201cHamas is in my heart and on my head.\u201d In February 2015, over a graphic of now-deceased Hamas founders Ahmed Yassin and Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi, Zakkout wrote in Arabic, \u201cIt is an obligation to kill those who left our religion. It is an obligation to kill those who fight our religion and to intimidate our enemies and the enemies of the religion. Everything is from the Quran, not from me.\u201d And he signed it, \u201cSofian.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In July 2014, Zakkout organized a pro-Hamas rally held outside the Israeli Consulate in downtown Miami. On video, Zakkout is shown smiling, as event goers repeatedly scream, \u201cWe are Hamas.\u201d Following the rally, Zakkout wrote the following in Arabic on Facebook, above photos from the event: \u201cThank God, every day we conquer the American Jews like our conquests over the Jews of Israel!\u201d He signed it \u201cBr. Sofian Zakkout.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As many in Hamas have done before, Zakkout repeatedly refers to Jews as \u201cmonkeys and pigs.\u201d In December 2015, Zakkout posted a photo of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot, who is a decorated veteran of many different wars and battles fought by Israel the last three-plus decades. Above the picture of Eizenkot, Zakkout wrote in Arabic, \u201cYou\u2019re a Jew, the grandson of a monkey and a pig.\u201d He signed it \u201cSofian.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sofian Zakkout\u2019s enmity for Jews has given him the opportunity to embrace two vastly different streams of Jew-hatred, one of the streams being Nazism and the other being Islamism.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has allowed him to use Hamas rhetoric, like labeling Jews \u201cpigs and monkeys\u201d and discussing the \u201cconquering\u201d of Jews, as he did following his pro-Hamas rally. It has allowed him to shower praise on white supremacist and former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. It has allowed him to collaborate with supporters of Hitler. And it has allowed him to propagate material saying that the Holocaust was \u201cfaked.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sofian Zakkout is a raving anti-Semite and inciting hatemonger, and the fact that he is a recognized and respected official both within and outside the Muslim community \u2013 he sits on the boards of Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers and Miami-Dade Citizens\u2019 Crime Watch \u2013 is extremely disturbing. His violent and bigoted statements make him a potential danger to the community, especially the local Jewish community.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no justifiable reason for Zakkout\u2019s continued presence in the United States. He has been an unremitting voice for terror groups, like Hamas, and individuals and organizations which sow hatred and intolerance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sofian Zakkout came to the US as an immigrant, and the US government should turn him around so that he can leave the way he came in.<\/span><\/p>\n
