Cop-Killers and Human Relations Awards in Southern California

On September 9, 2001, two days before 9-11, a benefit dinner was held at UC-Irvine for Jamal al Amin (aka H. Rap Brown) now serving a life sentence for murdering a police officer in Georgia. Present at that dinner was Muzammil Siddiqi of the Garden Grove Islamic Center. Also present was Anwar Awlaki, now a fugitive terrorist living in Yemen, from where he is suspected of directing terrorist activities. Awlaki has been connected to two of the 9-11 hijackers.

One of the speakers at the UCI event was Mahar Hathout, who was captured on this videotape by the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT). In this speech, he defends the innocence of Brown while condemning the Atlanta Police.



Also speaking was imam Abdul Alim Musa, an open supporter of Iran, Hizbollah and Hamas. In his "sermons", he often makes references to killing Zionists and "burning America down". Ditto at UC Irvine.

"Imam Jamil coined a phrase, and that phrase meant this: ‘If you don't give us justice. If you don't give us equality. If you don't give us our share of America. If you don't stay out of our way and leave us alone, we're gonna burn America down."

Hamza Yusuf Hanson also spoke at that dinner according to the IPT:

"On September 9, 2001, Yusuf spoke at a fundraiser at the University of California-Irvine for Jamal Al-Amin, then-accused of murdering a Fulton County, Ga. sheriff's deputy and wounding his partner. Al-Amin would be convicted in 2002. Speaking just two days before the September 11 attacks, Yusuf warned: "We saw the destruction of Russia after its invasion of Afghanistan, This country [America] unfortunately has a great…tribulation coming to it. And much of it is already here, yet people are too illiterate to read the writing on the wall."

Three months after 9-11, Awlaki was an invited luncheon guest at the Pentagon. Siddiqi appeared with President Bush at the White House days after the attack. Yusuf became an unofficial advisor to Bush.

In 2006, the LA Human Relations Commission gave Hathout an  award.

In 2011, The OC Human Relations Commission gave Siddiqi an award (pictured below).

The Rusty Award

No word yet on an award for Musa. Hopefully, he will not burn America down in his indignation.
