WHY is this Woman who said 9/11 “Changed the World For Good” on Obama’s Security Council?
Robert Spencer Reports
How by any stretch of anyone’s imagination can Laila Alawa be seen as someone who cares in the slightest degree about “homeland security”? She is quite obviously on the other side, and if we had a sane political and media culture, her presence on the DHS Advisory Council would be a major scandal
“Syrian Immigrant Who Said 9/11 ‘Changed The World For Good’ Is A Homeland Security Adviser,” by Peter Hasson, Daily Caller, June 13, 2016:
One of the sitting members on the Homeland Security Advisory Council’s (HSAC) Subcommittee on Countering Violent Extremism is a 25-year-old immigrant of Syrian heritage who said that the 9/11 attacks “changed the world for good” and has consistently disparaged America, free speech and white people on social media.

Laila Alawa was one of just 15 people tapped to serve on the newly-formed HSAC Subcommittee on Countering Violent Extremism in 2015 — the same year she became an American citizen. Just last week, the subcommittee submitted a report to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, recommending that the DHS avoid using Muslim terminology like the words “sharia” and “jihad” when discussing terrorism.Alawa says she immigrated into the U.S. when she was ten years old. Her family had already left Syria by the time she was born. “But I will always be Syrian. I will always be from Syria. I will always be of Syria,” she wrote in November 2015, calling the country her “homeland.”
In 2014, Alawa commemorated the September 11 attacks by tweeting that “9/11 changed the world for good, and there’s no other way to say it.”
Exactly a year later, she claimed that, after September 11, “Being American meant you were white.”
In April 2013, she responded to a tweet from activist Pamela Geller who called the Boston Marathon bombings “jihad” by tweeting: “go fuck yourself.”
On September 21 — the day after Secretary of State John Kerry announced that the U.S. would accept 85,000 Syrian refugees in 2016 and 100,000 more in 2017 — Alawa mocked the “Salty white tears all over my newsfeed.”
In the Countering Violent Extremism report published last week, Alawa and her fellow subcommittee members recommended that the Department of Homeland Security “adapt to the changing nature of violent extremism itself” by devoting more attention to “anarchists, sovereign citizens, white-supremacists, and others.”
The report also recommended that, in order to combat violent extremism, the DHS “Focus on gender diversity of youth through careful attention to the range of push and pull factors that attract individuals of differing gender.”
As originally reported by The Daily Caller, the subcommittee Alawa serves on instructed the DHS to begin “using American English instead of religious, legal and cultural terms like ‘jihad,’ ‘sharia,’ ‘takfir‘ or ‘umma‘” when discussing terrorism in order to avoid offending Muslims.
Two months before Secretary Johnson created the Subcommittee on Combatting Violent Extremism, Alawa tweeted: “THE US HAS NEVER BEEN A UTOPIA UNLESS YOU WERE A STRAIGHT WHITE MALE THAT OWNED LAND. straight up period go home shut up.”
She has previously indicated her belief that only “idiots” believe that “America is the best nation in the world.”
In September 2014, a week after saying that “9/11 changed the world for good,” Alawa said that “9/11 is your day to pull out your flag themed clothing, and my day to look behind my back as I walk home.”
Alawa is outspoken in her belief that “Islamophobic” rhetoric shouldn’t be allowed.
“We are living in a country that deems it ‘freedom of speech’ to spew absolutely hateful ish about Muslims. That’s not freedom of speech,” she tweeted.
Less than two weeks after the Boston Bombings, Alawa tweeted: “You can’t say something intolerant and not expect consequences. Not on my watch.” In April 2015, Alawa asked: “How the hell is the shit @PamelaGeller is spewing ‘free speech’? it’s straight up warmongering hate speech. It’s xenophobia.’”…

Send this evil Muslim bitch back to Syria!!!! Take the rest of the Syrian invader TRASH with you!!!!!
What the ffff? Are you guys serious? You people really don’t understand English, and she understands it better than you? Wow…
Okay, English lesson. To “change something for good”, means “to have lasting effects” on something.
And that’s true. 9/11 “changed the world for good”. It began the war on terror, which has had “lasting effects”.
That’s not saying, “9/11 was a GOOD event.”
It’s saying “9/11 changed the world FOR GOOD.” As in, lasting effects.
I knew Conservatives were stupid.
I did not know that you people don’t understand the basics of the English language.
Is it because you guys speak “Murican”, instead of English?
Sorry, but the Union (the REAL Patriots of America) speak English, not broken Murican-lish.
Maybe if you guys would update your educational system down in the old Confederate South, you wouldn’t be infecting the rest of America with your stupidity.
Stupid Confederates are like a horrible virus. They spread, infect other people, and the problem gets worse.
The US needs to launch a campaign, for sure. We need to launch a campaign to target the Islamist Jihadists and the Retarded Rightwing Nut Jobs. We shouldn’t deport you, because we want to keep our border open. No, we should just imprison all of you. Send you guys to the FEMA Camp that you fearmonger about, to make your dreams come true. Then have Obama come on the screen at your Camps, scream, “I AM THE GAY DICTATOR MUSLIM COMMUNIST ATHEIST ANTI-CHRIST!!!” and laugh maniacally, to make you guys worry and cry yourselves to death.
You retards make it difficult to identify the real problems in government, like corruption and fraud, with your ridiculous alarmist fearmongering bull. The boy who cried wolf, every single fffffing Zeusdamned day. First, learn English. Then, start paying attention to shht that matters. Finally, campaign against what matters. Stop wasting peoples’ time, and crying wolf all the ffffffing time, you retards.
I wonder how much money is being laundered through Obama’s Muslim brotherhood hires to support Islamic terrorists?
