Mosque tied to Tarheel jihadists demonstrates "moderation" by inviting racist speaker for Friday prayers
Last week's indictment of eight North Carolina Muslim men on terrorism-related charges has the Islamic community there under the microscope. Representatives from the Islamic Center of Raleigh and the Muslim American Society-Raleigh have launched a media campaign to disassociate their organizations and the rest of the Islamic community from the alleged terrorist plans of the eight indicted men.
But the Islamic Center of Raleigh has a peculiar way of demonstrating its' "moderation". In response to the arrests, a report published yesterday indicates that the center brought in a virulent racist and anti-Semite, Abdul Malik Ali, from Oakland, California to address the congregation during Friday prayers last week:
A guest speaker from Oakland, Calif., who led the third prayer service, however, offered a more strident view. Abdel Malik Ali called on the youth in the community to "speak up and speak out" together against harassment and intimidation by the FBI. "Your parents are living in a state of insecurity," Ali said, his voice rising. "What are you going to do about it?"
"A more strident view"?? In recent years, Ali has been caught making statements targeting Jews, justifying suicide bombings as Islamic martyrdom, and saying that Islamic terrorists are really freedom fighters (seven months after the 9/11 attacks no less). And in 2006, Ali gave a speech at UC-Irvine where he was videotaped standing at a podium emblazoned with a sign stating "Israel, the 4th Reich". His DiscoverTheNetworks profile provides us with some of his greatest hits:
* "The enemies of Islam know that when we come back to power we're gonna check 'em."
* "Stay conscious and ask Allah to raise the Muslims and give us victory over the disbeliever."
* "When it's all over, the only one standing is gonna be us [Muslims]."
* "Sooner or later, today's Muslim students will be the parents of Muslim children. And they should be militants."
* "Neo-cons are all Zionist Jews."
* "The wars against Iraq [Gulf War and Operation Iraqi Freedom] were manufactured by the Jews in America to avert attention from the two [Palestinian] Intifadas."
* "You [Jews] made all the mistakes we wanted you to make. You went after [former Georgia congresswoman] Cynthia McKinney. So now black folks don't like you.... You're walking into all the traps we want you to walk into. You hijacked American foreign policy."
* "[T]he Israelis were in control of 9-11," which "was staged to give an excuse to wage war against Muslims around the world."
* Israelis ought to return "to Germany, to Poland, to Russia. The Germans should hook y'all up. You [Israelis] should go back to Germany."
* "In America, you're mostly fighting with your tongue, but you should also learn how to fight with the sword."
* At the Sixth Annual Muslim Student Association Conference held at UC Berkeley in February 2004, Malik-Ali denounced "the white man, who is the enemy."
* At the Universal Heritage Foundation's December 2003 Islamic Conference in Florida, he warned moderate American Muslims that their desire to be "liked" was turning them into "'house slaves' in the mansion of a racist, imperialistic and destructive America."
* He has described Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a "pretty good guy."
So any statements from anyone representing the Islamic Center of Raleigh claiming their organization is "moderate" might warrant a fair degree of skepticism. And someone in the Raleigh-area media might also want to inquire whether the Islamic Center of Raleigh agrees with their speaker's sentiment that Iranian President Ahmadinejad is a "pretty good guy".
