U.S. Consulate General Jerusalem Promotes Islamic Culture in USA

You are probably aware that the United States, despite who knows how many political promises to its constituency, has never moved its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. Imagine Great Britian announcing that it did not recognize Washington DC as the capitol of the USA and placing its embassy in, say, Las Vegas. What you may not know is that the US Government has a consulate in Jerusalem that

heads an independent U.S. mission that is the official diplomatic representation of the United States in Jerusalem, the West Bank [ed. Judea and Samaria], and Gaza. (from the USCGJ website).

So, while the US refuses to recognize Israel's sovereignty over united Jerusalem, it maintains a consulate in Jerusalem that recognized Arab jurisdiction in that city.

This morning I received a tweet from USCGJerusalem lauding: "Afro-American activist promotes Muslim culture". The tweet links to a Facebook podcast from the USCGJ about work in Jackson, MS to promote Muslim culture in the USA. The USCGJ apparently sees it as part of its mission to the Arabs of YeShA (Judea, Samaria, Gaza) or, as they like to whitewash it, "Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza" to announce the spread of Muslim culture in the United States.
