A Palestinian activist tied to a Hamas front group helped shape the Senate hearing to spotlight alleged "anti-Muslim bigotry" in America, WND has learned.
In fact, the radical activist is a top aide to the senator chairing the hearing, Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois.
Durbin aide Reema B. Dodin – who is in regular contact with the terror-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations – is a Palestinian-rights activist who organized anti-Israel rallies as a campus radical at the University of California at Berkeley.
Commenting on the 9/11 attacks as a leader of the radical Muslim Students Association – which was founded by Muslim Brotherhood members – Dodin explained away the suicide attacks as a tragic but inevitable response to U.S. support for Israel, which she says is "angering" Muslims the world over.
"No one wants to stop and think that these young men, in the prime of their lives, choose to do this to themselves. Why?" she asked in an interview with a campus magazine. "Because now you have three generations of Palestinians born under occupation."
"Maybe if you start to look at Palestinians as human beings," she added, "you will stop the suicide bombers."
Dodin, 30, went on to justify violent jihad.
"Islam does teach that you must defend yourself," she said. "You cannot lie down and allow yourself, your home, your property, your family, and your people to be consistently oppressed."
Durbin's senior legislative aide points to the election of two Muslim congressmen – Democrats Keith Ellison of Minnesota and Andre Carson of Indiana – as proof Muslims can penetrate "the system" and bring about change from within.
