Remember that rally last February in Yorba Linda when the Islamic Circle of North America held a "charity" dinner, and their two featured speakers were radical clerics Siraj Wahhaj and Amir Abdel Malik Ali? Remember when several hundred people turned out to hold a protest? Remember the controversy that ensued because a few dozen people acted inappropriately and shouted at the dinner attendees as they arrived? Remember how everyone associated with the protest was smeared as Islamophobes, bigots and racists?
Steve Emerson's Investigative Project on Terrorism has just posted this report on the ICNA and the literature they put out for their followers to read.

You want to talk about hatred? You want to talk about religious bigotry?
The ICNA, no matter what they proclaim, is no moderate organization. They are a creation of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and they are dedicated to bringing about an Islamic caliphate where everyone lives in total submission happiness under Shariah law. They may not use the methods of Al Qaida to bring it about, but the end goal is the same if not the means. In fact, groups like Al Qaida and events like 9-11 make it possible for groups like ICNA and others to pose as the "peaceful alternative", the Muslims "we can work with". Yet, the next time you meet one of these ICNA people, ask them if they will condemn Hamas as a terror organization. Watch and listen to the verbal tap dance.
Yes, some people crossed the boundaries last February in Yorba Linda against the plans and wishes of the organizers and speakers of the protest. Yet, if you look at the above article by IPT, and you research Wahhaj and Ali, you will understand why there was a protest. You might also ask why no non-Muslims were admitted to the event, why TV reporters were only allowed in a for a few minutes to record statements by an ICNA event organizer that asked, "Where am I supposed to go? I live here." and Wahhaj telling his audience softly, "I want to say something about the (people outside). They have the right to (protest). " (I am paraphrasing what I saw and heard him say on TV.)
Do we know the full content of the two speeches outside of TV cameras? No. Why wasn't Ali filmed saying a few "peaceful" words to the reporters? Wahhaj knows how to come across as a kindly old grandfather when he knows a video is running. Ali, on the other hand, doesn't care. ICNA probably didn't want him speaking on TV because he might have blamed the protest on "The Jews" or said something complimentary about suicide bombers as he is wont to do.
Thanks to IPT for shining light on the ICNA and demonstrating what this stealth jihad organization is really all about.
I really don't much care what ICNA is or does. What difference does it make? I also don't care what the Aryan Nations is or does, except when the beat up or murder someone, in which case, the thing to do is to arrest them for mayhem or murder, not to devote hundreds of column inches to parsing their Nazi ideology.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I don't much care about ICNA is that they are not in any ordinate position to direct local mosques or Islamic societies, they are neither elected nor appointed leadership, they are simply the people who choose to join ICNA.
But, if you want to whip people up for a krystalnacht, I suppose you have to have a script about the evil other. Muslims are to Gary as Jews were to Hitler.
