(FrontPage) Khurrum Wahid is running for Coral Springs, Florida, city commission, in a special election that is to take place June 18th. Last month, this author wrote an article that was published in FrontPage Magazine, titled, “Terror-Connected Lawyer Running for City Commission in Florida,” which discusses in detail Wahid’s many ties to Islamic extremism. This past weekend, Wahid responded to my claims — claims that are backed up by proof — with lies, deceit and false and defamatory charges of racism.
On April 13th, Khurrum Basir Wahid, a candidate for Coral Springs City Commission, issued a statement through his campaign and via social media in reaction to an article I wrote. It begins, “In recent history, well before the start of this campaign, we have seen a resurgence of fear mongering and hateful racism throughout South Florida and our country as a whole. Unfortunately, this hatred has made its way to Coral Springs, and in the last couple months our campaign for city commission has been the target of lies, misinformation, and flat out racism.”
