May 14, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 18 Comments
Did the person from the Utah Senate who invited Yussuf Awadir Abdi to deliver this prayer know that he was on the terror watch list? Did he or she care? Or was virtue-signaling the paramount imperative here, overriding all other considerations?

Per this contemporary report, https://www.sltrib.com/news/2018/04/23/judge-dismisses-utah-muslim-leaders-lawsuit-ruling-that-the-inconvenience-of-being-on-government-terror-watchlist-is-not-a-violation-of-his-constitutional-rights/ (https://www.sltrib.com/news/2018/04/23/judge-dismisses-utah-muslim-leaders-lawsuit-ruling-that-the-inconvenience-of-being-on-government-terror-watchlist-is-not-a-violation-of-his-constitutional-rights/) , it looks like this guy claimed he was on the Feds' no-fly list, but it was never proven, and he flew multiple time subsequent to the incident that sparked his lawsuit.
But do facts matter on the JihadWatch website?

There is only one question that needs to be answered here,and that is "Is there an accurate,unedited, translation of his words available for public study?
If there is,I am sure there will be more questions needing answering.
