LEE: The Tale Of The Two Faces Of The Billoo Family

Martha Lee

California imam Ahmed Billoo recently called for the mass extermination of Jews. Apparently impatient at the border security protocols at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel, he posted a prayer to Twitter with the hashtag “Zionists”: “Oh God, reduce their numbers, exterminate them, and don’t leave a single one alive.”

Ahmed Billoo’s sister is Zahra Billoo, director of the San Francisco branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). She is also an important figure in the Women’s March movement, and has appeared alongside her brother at Women’s March events. Billoo’s own colleagues at CAIR “liked” Ahmed’s post. When asked, CAIR and Zahra Billoo herself refused to comment on Ahmed Billoo’s genocidal call.
