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.’”…

Laila Alawa, who sat on the Homeland Security Advisory Council’s (HSAC) Subcommittee on Countering Violent Extremism, once wrote that 9/11 terrorist attacks “changed the world for good. I just hope we keep having open conversations about our differences.” A week afterwards, according to the Daily Caller, she said, “9/11 is your day to pull out your flag themed clothing, and my day to look behind my back as I walk home.” The 24-year-old Muslim woman has variously denounced the United States, the right to free speech and white people. She emigrated to the United States as a pre-teen.
9/11 changed the world for good, and there's no other way to say it. I just hope we keep having open conversations about our differences.— Laila Alawa (@lulainlife) September 11, 2014
Not long before Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson created the Subcommittee, according to Daily Caller, Alawa wrote on Twitter: “THE US HAS NEVER BEEN A UTOPIA UNLESS YOU WERE A STRAIGHT WHITE MALE THAT OWNED LAND. straight up period go home shut up.” For Alawa, only “idiots” still believe that “America is the best nation in the world.”
Being Muslim in America after 9/11 means giving up your childhood. It means staying extra happy even if you aren't so the feds don't come.— Laila Alawa (@lulainlife) September 11, 2014
Alawa is one of 15 people who serve the HSAC Subcommittee, which was established by the Obama administration in 2015. It was that year that Alawa became a citizen of the United States. Recently, the subcommittee submitted a report to Secretary Johnson that recommended that it cease using Muslim terminology like the words “sharia” and “jihad” when discussing terrorism. Alawa says she has never been actually employed by the Department of Homeland Security. She is founder of The Tempest, a website that bills itself as a mouthpiece for "millenial" young women. A recent article written by Alawa is entitled, "I used to pee when I laughed: this changed everything."
Besides the Homeland Security Advisory Council, DHS has a "Countering Violent Extremism Task Force" which also advises Secretary Johnson. The two bodies are distinct.
Alawa’s ethnic and religious roots are deep. Despite her American citizenship, according to Daily Caller, Alawa wrote in November 2015 “But I will always be Syrian. I will always be from Syria. I will always be of Syria.”
I might be half white, but I'm proud of my differences. I'm Muslim American. That's who I am, nothing more, nothing less. #waronpeace— Laila Alawa (@lulainlife) September 17, 2014
She commemorated the deadly 9/11 attacks in 2014 with a post on Twitter, saying: “9/11 changed the world for good, and there’s no other way to say it.” Then, a year later, she claimed that after September 11, “Being American meant you were white.” When activist Pamela Geller labeled the Boston Marathon bombings as “jihad,” Alawa responded on Twitter: “go f--k yourself.”
I put on the hijab the year 9/11 happened. 9/11's experience of being alienated + scrutinized taught me to keep fighting. #waronpeace— Laila Alawa (@lulainlife) September 17, 2014
Alawa further revealed her racial animosity on September 21 of last year when Secretary of State John Kerry announced that America will take in 185,000 Syrian refugees, when she mocked the “Salty white tears all over my newsfeed.”
I don't need your white woman tears to define my identity. I am a proud Muslim American feminist.#waronpeace— Laila Alawa (@lulainlife) September 17, 2014
In their report to DHS Sec. Johnson, Alawa joined her fellow subcommittee members to recommend that Homeland Security should “adapt to the changing nature of violent extremism itself” by devoting more attention to “anarchists, sovereign citizens, white-supremacists, and others.” Moving on, the Report on Countering Extremism recommended that DHS should “Focus on gender diversity of youth through careful attention to the range of push and pull factors that attract individuals of differing gender.”
In a 2014 tweet, Alawa wrote that while 9/11 was "horrific," Muslim American's "pain" has made them into survivors.
Here's the thing: 9/11 was horrific. But the pain we've been through as Muslim Americans has made us into survivors. #waronpeace— Laila Alawa (@lulainlife) September 17, 2014
DHS should not offend Muslims, the subcommittee wrote, which called on DHS to use “American English instead of religious, legal and cultural terms like ‘jihad,’ ‘sharia,’ ‘takfir‘ or ‘umma‘” when discussing terrorism.
Funny thing about all these white idiots complaining about Diwali on @Snapchat is that POC outnumber them 100 to 1. #YourRacismIsShowing— Laila Alawa (@lulainlife) October 23, 2014
Moreover, Alawa wants to ban “Islamophobic” speech. “We are living in a country that deems it ‘freedom of speech’ to spew absolutely hateful rubbish about Muslims. That’s not freedom of speech,” she wrote.
@lulainlife I'm sure u and I don't agree on many things but I think you've been unfairly targeted based on what I've seen. Have a grest day— Blair Anton (@blairanton) June 16, 2016
In an interview with Spero News, Attorney Jennifer R. Breedon said that groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations and the Muslim Brotherhood seek to squelch freedom of speech in order to advance Islamic political goals such as shariah.
