Militant Islam Monitor calls upon President Bush Not to send US government representative Karen Hughes to radical Islamist ISNA conference

The Islamic Society of North America - a Wahhabist funded group and a subject in a major inquiry by the Senate Finance Committee into "organizations, particularly tax-exempt organizations such as charities and foundations, which finance terrorism and perpetuate violence"1 - has invited President Bush to its upcoming 42nd annual convention, to be held September 2-5 in Rosemont, Illinois. http://www.belleville.com/mld/belleville/news/local/12467046.htm President Bush has designated White House aide Karen Hughes as the US government representative at the conference. The Islamic Society of North America and it's members promote a radical Islamist agenda. http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/1012

  • Member Board of Directors - Muzammil Siddiqi - Spoke at the Islamic Circle of North America's 2001 convention in Cleveland together with Saudi Shaikh Abdur Rahman al-Sudais, senior imam at the Grand Mosque in Mecca. Al-Sudais has been quoted vilifying Jews as the "scum of humanity" and "the grandsons of monkeys and pigs." http://www.pipelinenews.org/index.cfm?page=isnabush%2Ehtm

    Siddiqi has spoken at pro-Hezbollah and pro-Hamas rallies, has supported an Islamic state in the U.S. and praised suicide bombing for the Islamic cause.

    Spoke at an Oct. 28, 2000, "Jerusalem Day" rally in Washington, that media reported degenerated into a "hate-fest" in which the crowd chanted, "Death to the Jews!"

  • Member Board of Directors - Imam Siraj Wahhaj - On Feb. 2, 1995, U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White named Siraj Wahhaj as one of the "unindicted persons who may be alleged as co-conspirators" in the attempt to blow up New York City monuments.

    Quoted as saying "In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing. And the only thing that will remain will be Islam."

    "In 1993 two members of his [Wahhaj'] mosque pleaded guilty in connection with charges of plotting to kill the secretary-general of the United Nations, a U.S. senator and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, and blow up major buildings and tunnels." - Newsweek, September 30, 2002

  • Chapter President - Kareem Irfan - On jihadi beheadings, Irfan was quoted as saying he - "believes that beheadings simply demonstrate a primordial sense of retaliation and revenge."

  • Chapter President - Sayed Gomah - Former director of TAIBAH International. There are two TAIBAH branches, both associated with terror. Re the US branch located in Falls Church Virginia, a veritable terror funding nest:

    "According to TIAA's 2000 IRS Form 990, Abdurahman Alamoudi is the Vice President of TIAA [TAIBAH]" the court documents stated. TIAA, founded in 1991, also "lists Abdullah A. bin Laden, as founding officer." He is the nephew of Osama bin Laden, according to the U.S. Justice Department." - Alleged terror threats operate in DC suburb - CNS News, July 12, 2004

    Re the Bosnian TAIBAH:

    "The court documents filed by the U.S. attorney's office in Virginia stated that Mohammed El-Nagmy, an employee of TIAA and its sister organization Taibah in Sarajevo, Bosnia, served simultaneously as the Bosnian representative for the Global Relief Foundation (GRF).

    GRF is also on the State Department's list of specially designated global terrorist groups.

    GRF ... personnel had multiple contacts with Wadih El-Hage, UBL's [Osama bin Laden] personal secretary when UBL was in Sudan," according to the U.S. Treasury Department. El-Hage was convicted in May 2001 for his role in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings." - Alleged terror threats operate in DC suburb - CNS News, July 12, 2004

    Beila Rabinowitz, the director of Militant Islam Monitor, is calling upon the President Bush not to send US government representative Karen Hughes to the ISNA conference and demonstrate that there can and will be zero tolerance for any Muslim groups with documented support for radical Islam and terrorism funding.
