Remove Islamist Anti-Semite from Crime Stoppers

ESofian Zakkout, the President of the American Muslim Association of North America (AMANA), posts material onto social media commemorating deceased leaders from al-Qaeda and Hamas. He has stated, “Hamas is on my head and in my heart.” Zakkout, himself, was the Vice President of a Hamas-related charity that was shut down in 2003.

In July 2014, Zakkout organized a pro-Hamas rally in Miami, outside the Israeli Consulate, where rally goers shouted “We are Hamas” and “Let’s go Hamas.” Following the rally, Zakkout wrote in Arabic, “Thank God, every day, we conquer the American Jews like our conquests over the Jews of Israel.”

Zakkout repeatedly refers to Jews as “monkeys and pigs.” He has advertised on social media a report claiming that the Holocaust was “faked.” He and his group, AMANA, have been reprimanded by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for posting anti-Semitic videos produced by white supremacist and former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke onto the AMANA website. Zakkout has referred to Duke as “David Duke, a man to believe in.”

With all of this, it is hard to believe that Sofian Zakkout is an active board member of anti-crime groups. He sits on the board of Crime Stoppers of Miami-Dade County and Citizens’ Crime Watch of Miami-Dade County.

We ask that you assist us in our campaign to have Crime Stoppers and Citizens’ Crime Watch remove Zakkout immediately.

We need resources for rallies, advertising, etc. CLICK HERE TO SEND YOUR TAX-DEDUCTABLE DONATION TO THE JOE KAUFMAN SECURITY INITIATIVE, so that we can continue our important work.
