Meet The Occupy Leaders: Anti-Israel Muhammed Malik Of Occupy Miami

Muhammed Malik, a leader and spokesman for Occupy Miami, has extensive ties to pro-Palestine groups that some see as creating a false front for anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic sentiments. Malik is described in this interview from October 13^th as “one of Occupy Miami’s main hustlers, helping in various ways to coordinate its imminent occupation.”

His resume includes not only a stint at the ACLU but a number of political Muslim and Palestinian groups including executive director of the local chapter of (Hamas-linked) CAIR or Council on American-Islamic Relations,  co-chair of the Miami-Dade County Green Party, as well as working with Students for Justice in Palestine.

Apparently, finding a job on the pro-Palestine left is tough these days. According to the Miami Herald:

Muhammed Malik, 29, is a former researcher with Florida’s American Civil Liberties Union who said he was laid off several months ago. Malik and his wife, who works at the University of Miami, support her parents and his ongoing unemployment means they are eking it out pay check to pay check.

Malik, who has a graduate degree, said he has widened his search to jobs for which he is over-qualified.
