Former Head of Islamic Center in Washington, D.C. on Iranian TV: 'The 9/11 Events Were Planned by the American Administration'
Al-Asi is active in Islamic organizations and participates in Muslim conferences throughout the world and in the U.S. For instance, earlier this month he presented his paper, titled "Islamophobia: Its Causes and Cures," at the second annual conference of the Muslim Congress. According to the conference's brochure, the Muslim Congress is an "organization of the united Muslims of North America."(1)
Al-Asi has a history of making accusatory statements against the U.S., Israel, and Jews. In remarks he made prior to the Gulf War in 1990, that were aired in the November 1994 PBS documentary Jihad in America with terrorism expert Steve Emerson, Al-Asi said: "If Americans are placing their forces in the Persian Gulf, we should be creating another war front for the Americans in the Muslim world – specifically where American interests are concentrated."(2)
In an undated article on muslimedia.com, Al-Asi wrote about Jewish "control" of Western countries' and the end of Israel,(3) "The Israeli Zionists have convinced themselves that their presence in Palestine is permanent. They have even managed to deceive world public opinion into believing this myth. The brainwashing that has gone into this effort is phenomenal… To bolster their argument, they tell us indefatigably that the Jews are politically as strong as ever because they are in virtual command and control of the American and Russian administrations; not to mention their political and foreign policy clout in the European continent. It is enough to have the Jews running the only superpower in the world, the U.S., to know that Israel is shielded, guarded, and protected from all political angles."
The following are excerpts from Al-Asi's September 10, 2006 appearance on Iranian Channel 2 TV, which also included David Musa Pidcock, leader of the Islamic Party of Britain, and French author Thierry Meyssan who also accused the U.S. government of involvement in the attacks.

Presenter: "According to initial speculations, Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden himself were identified as the main culprits [in 9/11]. Further expert analysis, however, raised other possibilities."
[...]
Muhammad Al-'Asi, former head of the Islamic Center, Washington, D.C.: "The events of 9/11 were planned by the American administration, to be used as a pretext and justification to fight terrorism."
[...]
French author Thierry Meyssan: "Organizing acts of terrorism on such a scale and with such precision would not have been possible without the aid of American administration bodies, such as the White House and the Pentagon."
[...]
"Donald Rumsfeld said, several days prior to 9/11, that a tremendous, unique disaster was going to occur. He said he was wishing for such a thing to happen, so that there would be a national leap and so that he would be able to carry out his policy."
[...]
David Musa Pidcock, leader of the Islamic Party of Britain: "Pearl Harbor was similar to 9/11 in that they were both planned in advance. Twelve days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, [U.S. Secretary of War] Stimson, one of America's lords of war, went to the White House with several navy commanders, and talked about the war against Japan. The question was how they could trick the Japanese into firing the first shot, without any great danger being directed against the Americans. Therefore, the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 was similar to what happened on 9/11. We know very well that it was planned with precision."

And this is a "moderate" Muslim.
Muhammad, you're plane ticket is at will call.
I hope this will earn him the status of persona non grata in any nation fighting terrorism but I won't hold my breath.
I wouldn't be suprised if this fellow spent some time on The Wahhabi Corridor:

With all the leaks that come from Washington in an attempt to crush the current administration, if this were even remotely true, wouldn't you think there'd be JUST ONE person coming out and claiming, "Yes, I was involved in the setup of 9/11 - the evil Bush people made me do it!"

The Islamic Center and other such organizations in this nation are doing damage to our credibility around the world. How long are we going to accept this?
It seems that the majority of Muslims believe and are "taught" to believe that the Israel and the USA planned 9/11 in order to take over the world.
MEMRI TV has a 45-minute program documenting this. It's interesting if you want to understand what is going on with this "idea" in the Muslim world.
The really "fantastic" thing about this idea is that there is a significant portion of the U.S. population who believes it, too. Some academics have been screaming about this, too. I saw something posted on FreeRepublic about this in the last week or so.
Sometimes ignorance is so ignorant that there is no hope.

It's really kind of pathetic if you think about it. The biggest, most costly strike against the Great Satan in history and he's saying that the Muslim's didn't do it? "Allah be praised, one day soon where going to get our act together and bring down the corrupt U.S. regime. But honest, we weren't capable of launching something as detailed as the 9/11 attacks." Give me a break.
IDIOTS!!!!
But then, the idiots in the MSM never ask the conspiracy nuts how the Bush administration convinced Bin Laden to take the rap?
"Muhammad Al-Asi, who is affiliated with the Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought..."
Contemporary Islamic Thought hasn't changed since the 8th century.
this is the talking point for the future.
Islam needs to make a decision.
If it was a fake then islam needs to say the 19 hijakers were all americans and say their families were tools of the americans.
"Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought"
Hahahha... good one.
...it did not take long for the ridiculous to find its way into print.
In what is billed as the "first independent inquiry" into the events of Sept. 11, French left-wing activist Thierry Meyssan comes to the shocking conclusion that the Pentagon was not hit by American Airlines Flight 77.
His book, L'Effroyable Imposture (The Frightening Fraud) is apparently a hot seller in his native land, the first 20,000 copies having been whisked off the shelves with more to follow.
Meyssan, who had published his views as early as October 8 on his website, the Voltaire Network, (the philosophe must be spinning in his grave having his name appropriated by this imbecile), proves, at least to his own satisfaction, that the damage to the Pentagon could not have been caused by a Boeing 757, but was in fact the result of a carefully planned truck bombing or missile strike which was then made to look like a plane crash.
Meyssan's purpose is to uncover a much deeper plot of the United States against the world. He reveals other interesting facts, like Bin Laden was an agent of the U.S. who was used by President Bush to destroy secret CIA offices in the World Trade Towers....
