AFDI Calls for Closure of Mosques That Breed Jihad Terror Yahoo News, April 29, 2013

NEW YORK, April 29, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ –The human rights organization American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI)
has called upon government and law enforcement authorities to close
three U.S. mosques that have been established as breeding grounds for
jihad terror.

The call follows the issuance
last week of AFDI's 18-point Platform for Defending Freedom, which
offered practical steps to protect the nation from jihad terror in the
wake of the Boston jihad bombings.

Those 18 points included a call for "immediate investigation into foreign mosque
funding in the West and for new legislation making foreign funding of
mosques in non-Muslim nations illegal," as well as for "surveillance of
mosques and regular inspections of mosques in the U.S. and other
non-Muslim nations to look for pro-violence materials. Any mosque
advocating jihad or any aspects of Sharia that conflict with
Constitutional freedoms and protections should be closed."

AFDI Executive Director Pamela Geller
said in a statement: "In accord with those calls for responsible law
enforcement regarding subversive activities in U.S. mosques, we are
asking that government and law enforcement officials launch immediate
investigations into the Islamic Society of Boston, the Dar al-Hijrah Mosque of Fairfax County, Virginia, and the Noor Center of Columbus, Ohio."

Geller emphasized: "These mosques are not unique. There are many
others like them. But they are the tip of the spear. It is time that our
officials demand that they obey American laws, or be held accountable
for not doing so."

The reasons for the calls for closure include:

Islamic Society of Boston (two mosques, one in Cambridge and one in Boston)

• Founded by Abdulrahman Alamoudi, who served as its first president. He is now in prison for financing al-Qaeda.
• Aafia Siddiqui attended this mosque. She is now serving an
  86-year-sentence for plotting a jihad attack in New York City, and
  firing at military officers and FBI agents when under arrest.
• Tarek Mehanna attended this mosque. He is now serving 17 years in prison for conspiring to aid al-Qaeda.
• Ahmad Abousamra attended this mosque. He was Mehanna's co-conspirator. He fled to Syria and is wanted by the FBI.
• Jamal Badawi of Canada was a former trustee of the Islamic Society
  of Boston Trust. He was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007
  Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding trial.
• Yusuf al Qaradawi, the Muslim Brotherhood
  spiritual leader who has praised Hitler and called on Muslims to finish
  his work, was a mosque trustee and has addressed congregants via
  recorded video message to raise money for the Boston mosque.
• Yasir Qadhi, who lectured at the Boston mosque in April 2009, has
  advocated replacing U.S. democracy with Islamic rule and called
  Christians "filthy" polytheists whose "life and prosperity … holds no
  value in the state of Jihad."
• Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon jihad bombers, attended the Cambridge mosque.

The Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center, Fairfax County, Virginia.

• The Saudi-backed North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), a Muslim Brotherhood group, bought the mosque's grounds in 1983.
• Mohammed al-Hanooti, the mosque's imam from 1995-1999, was named an
  unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
• Anwar al-Awlaki, the mosque's imam from 2001-2002, has extensive
  contact with three 9/11 hijackers, the Fort Hood jihad murderer, and the
  Christmas underwear bomber.
• Johari Abdul-Malik, the mosque's director of outreach from 2002 to
  the present, has defended Abdulrahman Alamoudi, who is in prison for
  financing al-Qaeda.
• Ahmed Omar Abu Ali taught Islamic studies and was a camp counselor
  at the mosque; he is now in prison for plotting to assassinate President
  George W. Bush.
• Shaker Elsayed, the mosque's imam from 2005 to the present, was
  Secretary General of the Muslim American Society, a Muslim Brotherhood
  group.
• Nidal Malik Hasan, the Fort Hood jihad mass murderer, attended this mosque.
• Abdelhaleem Hasan Abdelraziq Ashqar, a member of the mosque's
  Executive Committee, was convicted in November 2007 of contempt and
  obstruction of justice for refusing to testify regarding Hamas, and
  received an eleven-year prison sentence.

Noor Mosque, Columbus, Ohio

• The leader of the mosque, Dr. Hany Saqr, was previously an imam for
  another area mosque which at that time was the base of operations for
  the largest known Al-Qaeda cell in the U.S. since 9/11, including
  convicted jihadists Iyman Faris, Nuradin Abdi, and Christopher Paul.
  Saqr is one of the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America.
• Dr. Salah Sultan was the mosque's unofficial scholar in residence. A
  protégé of Qaradawi, Sultan is now in the Middle East and has appeared
  on Egyptian television approvingly quoting the genocidal hadith about
  how the end times will not come until Muslims kill Jews, and previously
  appeared at events in support of Hamas and Qaradawi.
• The Noor Center has been directly linked to the Somali Muslims who
  have gone from the U.S. back to Somali for jihad terror training.
• Siraj Wahhaj, a friend of the Blind Sheikh and a potential
  unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, has
  spoken at the Noor Mosque.
• Mosque members threatened the life of Rifqa Bary, a teenage girl who left Islam for Christianity.

AFDI stands for:

• The freedom of speech – as opposed to Islamic prohibitions of
  "blasphemy" and "slander," which are used effectively to quash honest
  discussion of jihad and Islamic supremacism;
• The freedom of conscience – as opposed to the Islamic death penalty for apostasy;
• The equality of rights of all people before the law – as opposed to
  Sharia's institutionalized discrimination against women and non-Muslims.
