Rep. Tom Cole's secret townhall meeting!

U.S. Rep. Tom Cole (R OK) has eleven townhall meetings planned over the next couple of weeks.  His townhall schedule lists all the locations, except for one, a meeting at Melody Hall on April 11th in Moore, OK.  For those of you who don't know, Melody Hall is owned Home Creations and brothers Mohammad and Jalal Farzaneh.  Do you remember, by chance, this was the original location of CAIR's anti-airport profiling meeting back in January and was the site of the first planned protest by Oklahomans Against CAIR Hate?  CAIR, then changed location the day before in order to ditch the protesters (yep, that's on their webpage).

Why, in the heck, was this meeting left off Rep. Cole's official schedule?   Do we have a certain segment of our community who gets their very own audience with the congressman during his townhall schedule?  Did Rep. Cole not want the public to know about it, or what?  Maybe the Muslim community requested it but, in any event, it's not cool and sets a horribly un-neighborly tone.  It's strange.

I urge the public to go to this meeting since it's the only one of two scheduled for the Moore/Midwest City area.  Why not take this time to get to know your Muslim neighbors? 

B u t, I just have to ask, ever so politely, why they can't go to the other townhalls, like the rest of us? 

Judging from some of the public comments several of the leading Oklahoma Muslims leaders made recently, they are quite testy about tea partiers, to say the least.  Marjan Seirafi Pour, the former chair of the Governor's Ethnic American Advisory Council of which Mohammad Farzaneth is a member (remember they offered Qurans to state legislators), wrote her two-cents on the Melody Hall townhall FB page:

Unfortunately, I will be out of town and won't be back in time for the town hall meeting.  However, I hope Representative Cole can explain his lack of support for the Health Insurance reform law and the reason for Republican party's tendencies for shouting matches instead of presenting valid and wholesome discussions.  Also, I would like to know if he is a "Tea Party" supporter? The answer would be very interesting, of course if it is straight forward and not convoluted.

Hmmm...

 

Last month, the Imam of the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, Imad Enchassi, tweeted "I will call the tea party what they are, the kkk in drag."  And in November, Razi Hashmi of the highly controversial Islamic organization, CAIR, said criticism about them are lies from the extreme right wing fringe (this always seems to work with the gullible left despite evidence CAIR leaders the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas are intertwined).  BTW, I suspect CAIR representatives will be at the Melody Hall meeting, too.

 

Hmmm. Twice more.

 

You know, I've never been to a tea party event, like many people, and I don't consider myself one, like many people, but the crap that's coming from the Muslim leaders in Oklahoma is pretty inflamatory!  What a negative bias they have against certain group of people.  It makes you wonder what they say in private, doesn't it?  Or teach their children.

 

By the way, the Farzaneh brothers claim Home Creations is the largest new home builder in the state of Oklahoma:

UPDATE 4/7/10: A screen shot was taken by someone which was emailed to me that showed the director of CAIR, Razi Hashmi, had RSVP'd he would attend the meeting. Hashmi does not live in Rep. Cole's district!  CAIR, as you all know, is strongly supported by Islamic leaders in Oklahoma who were instrumental in bringing this organization to Oklahoma, which is worrisome. CAIR didn't just show up here.  CAIR is an Islamist organization founded by Muslim Brotherhood leaders who, according to U.S. vs. Sabri Benkahla, used deception to help support terrorism. Hashmi's own allegance to Hamas seems evident by several public comments he's made which I've written about before - several times.

 

UPDATE 5/20/10: A person who attended this meeting informed me the questions asked and the issues covered could have been easily been handled at any one of the public townhall meetings Rep. Tom Cole had planned in his district. There was no need for a special townhall for the Muslim community.

How special they must feel.

The Farzaneh brothers are probably big donors of Cole. That would explain the special treatment,

Well, John Boy take a look:
