Hakim Ouansafi

Hakim Ouansafi is a volunteer Chairman for the Muslim Association of Hawaii. He is also a volunteer board member for the Hawaii chapter of the federal law enforcement foundation and is a civil service commissioner with the City & County of Honolulu.[1]

Ouansafi is the executive director of the State of Hawaii Housing Authority.

Criticism

In 2011, Ouansafi received criticism[2] when he misrepresented Mohammad’s arrival in Medina, manipulating the 2009 Hawaii Legislature into passing a resolution designating September 24, 2009 as Islam Day in Hawaii. He did this by falsely claiming a Julian date in the year 622 was actually a Gregorian date. September 24, 2009 just happens to be September 11, 2009 in the old Julian Calendar.
