One of the religious leaders invited to address Barack Obama’s inaugural prayer service Wednesday heads an Islamic group named by federal prosecutors as a co-conspirator in a terrorism-fundraising trial in Texas.

Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America, is scheduled to join Christian ministers and Jewish rabbis offering prayers for the new president and his family during a service at the National Cathedral in Washington, organizers announced Friday.

Mattson’s group calls itself “the largest Muslim umbrella organization” in North America. However, in May 2007, federal prosecutors included ISNA on a list of nearly 300 co-conspirators filed in a criminal case charging that the Holy Land Foundation of Richardson, Texas, funneled more than $12 million to Hamas.

The U.S. government designated Hamas as a terrorist group in 1995.

A trial in Dallas in 2007 for the foundation and five of its leaders ended with acquittals and mistrials. However, Holy Land and the five officials were convicted of all 108 charges in a second trial last year.

A spokeswoman for the inaugural, Linda Douglass, hailed Ms. Mattson as “a widely respected faith leader with a stellar reputation.”

“We are delighted to have her as part of a program that is inclusive, welcomes people of all faiths and is consistent with the president elect’s message of unity,” the spokeswoman told Politico Friday. “All of these are people who preach tolerance.”

Ms. Douglass noted that Ms. Mattson appeared with little controversy at an interfaith service prior to the Democratic National Convention in Denver last August. However, that appearance came prior to the jury’s guilty verdicts in November affirming the existence of the conspiracy to aid Hamas. Mattson’s group, ISNA, was never named as a defendant in the Holy Land case. Jurors were not asked to determine what role, if any, ISNA played in aid of Hamas.

Indeed, leaders of ISNA and two other Islamic groups have complained bitterly that being included on the list of co-conspirators sullied their reputations and violated Justice Department regulations. Last year, ISNA and a related organization, the North American Islamic Trust, filed a motion asking a judge to strike the list and rebuke the prosecution for filing it. The groups, which have not been charged with a crime, called the public filing a “smear.”

The court has not ruled on the groups’ motion, but in a brief filed last July, federal prosecutor James Jacks said there was ample evidence of the Islamic groups’ ties to the Holy Land Foundation.

“During last year's trial, numerous exhibits were entered into evidence establishing both ISNA's and NAIT's intimate relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood, the Palestine Committee, and the defendants in this case," Mr. Jacks wrote . "They were intimately connected with the HLF and its assigned task of providing financial support to HAMAS. ... That ISNA and NAIT appeared in these documents and share a common history with these defendants is a reflection of the evidence, not any attempt to 'disparage' or 'vilify.'"

Not surprising.  He is a muslim and has surrounded himself with them continually throughout his life.  He hates whites in general and Jews in particular and seeks to immediately create a muslim nazi terrorist state out of the bibilcal heartland of Israel, God forbid.

The LA Times is still in possession of a video of Obama at a pro-frankenstineian dinner where he spoke out against Israel.  They refused to release it before the election and apparently still have it.   Shame there aren't any copies of it floating around on Zootube, then people could have seen the real Osama.  Might even have been a game changer for this election.
