.@CAIRNational Hypocrite, Wilfredo Amr Ruiz (@AnalistaInter), Linked to Group Championing White Supremacist David Duke frontpagemag.com/fpm/272169/cai…
Ruiz “founded the chapters of Puerto Rico and Connecticut of The American Muslim Association of North America (AMANA)” and is “currently acting as its legal advisor.” According to AMANA, Ruiz has been the Director of its Puerto Rico chapter.
Ruiz has also been the Executive Director of AMANA’s sister charity, American Muslims for Emergency and Relief (AMER).
Outside of its Islamist existence, AMANA and its President, Sofian Zakkout, are notorious for championing white supremacist leader David Duke.
Outside of its Islamist existence, AMANA and its President, Sofian Zakkout, are notorious for championing white supremacist leader David Duke.
In July 2010, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) condemned Zakkout and his group AMANA for featuring, on the official AMANA website, what the ADL called a “venomous” anti-Semitic video produced by and featuring Duke.
[Ruiz’s name is mentioned directly beneath the video.] Even today, on the AMANA site, under a video discussing how ‘Israel has no right to exist,’ one can find yet another anti-Jewish Duke video.
Zakkout, who declared “Hamas is in my heart and on my head,” who repeatedly labels Jews “monkeys and pigs,” and who has circulated on Facebook a report claiming that “the Holocaust was faked,” has referred to Duke as “David Duke a man to belief in!”
Ruiz refers to Zakkout as his “dear brother” and has stated about AMANA, “AMANA is without doubt the best Dawah (Islamic outreach) and Quran source in America.”
Over the past month, Ruiz ironically has used social media to repeatedly call out white supremacists.
On November 20th, Ruiz posted about a Tampa-area violent Neo-Nazi group that had two of its members found shot dead with a garage full of explosives. Of this, he tweeted, “#DomesticTerrorism #WhiteSupremacists #NeoNazis are Real! STOP #Racism #Islamophobia #AntiSemitism NOW!”
Ruiz further posted, in November, about swastikas being painted outside a Jewish professor’s office at Columbia University; Wisconsin high school students standing for a group pose while doing a Nazi salute; and a PBS documentary discussing the ‘New American Nazis.’
The subjects that Ruiz has mentioned are, no doubt, serious ones that need to be exposed. However, how can Ruiz effectively publicize such issues, when he himself has much involvement with a group that lauds one of the world’s most well-known white supremacists?
