The below speech is by deceased American al Qaeda terrorist Anwar al Awlaki (who was killed by a drone strike last year in Yemen.) The speech, which has only recently surfaced, was given before the Islamic Society of North America September 1, 2001 ten days before 9-11. The man introducing him is Muzammil Siddiqi then president of ISNA and now head imam of the Islamic Center of Orange County.
Awlaki speaks of the "tolerance" that Muslims have historically afforded non Muslims in countries where Muslims were in charge. He says nothing about how non-Muslims are being treated today from one end of the Islamic world to the other. His focus is on the intolerance among Muslims themselves.

"Takbir", indeed.
Of course, Dr Siddiqi is viewed as a man of peace by the conoscenti in Orange County. A couple of years back, he was given a community leadership award by the Orange County Human Relations Commission, a white elephant of an agency led by Rusty Kennedy that soaks up $250,000 a year of tax payer money.
