Asad Zaman, an Islamic imam who once promoted a pro-Hitler documentary and praised Hamas following its 2023 terrorist attacks, leads an organization that held a private inauguration event for Minneapolis mayoral hopeful Omar Fateh, according to newly unearthed reports.
In 2020, Fateh and six other recently elected Democratic state senators reportedly attended an in-person inauguration hosted by the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, where Zaman has served as executive director for over a decade, in their honor. Zaman has a history of radical social media usage, sharing a Hamas press release mourning a mass murderer in 2016, posting a link to a documentary praising Adolf Hitler in 2015, and praising the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks hours after they unfolded. Federal prosecutors once said that the Muslim American Society was “founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States,” according to court records.
