1/ Emgage, a radical, Islamist-run group tied to Biden campaign, boasts of its work in Washington D.C. to demonize India.

2/ Claims to have sent 5,500 emails to Congress, lead over 60 meetings with Senate and House offices, helped organize two congressional hearings on Kashmir, and lobbied State Dept. and House Foreign Affairs Committee, inter alia.

3/ One of Emgage's board members is Farooq Mitha. emgageusa.org/board-member/f… He's also a senior advisor to the Biden campaign. medium.com/muslims-for-jo…

4/ In fact, he was brought into to replace a Hindu campaign official after the Islamists organized a campaign against him.

5/ No surprise that Biden, as a presidential candidate, is now addressing Emgage events (quite a scoop for an organization that was considered a nonentity just a year ago).

6/ It seems likely these anti-Indian extremists will have access to a Biden White House if he wins in November. But the Biden campaign is not intrinsically anti-Indian; Islamists instead find its sheer naivety on the subject far too easy to exploit.

7/ Indian-Americans (and everyone) *must* fight back against this. Don't let Islamist disinformation win, or you may have 4-8 years of anti-Hindu, anti-Indian extremists working out of federal departments, or advising at the White House.
