F SNIPPET: "In her sixth e-mail to me, Hamdan sent me a link to a MAS page attacking me for attempting to get a 2006 MAS New Year’s youth retreat (previously known as “jihad camp”) shut down for having, as its featured speaker, Youth Director of MAS-New Jersey and member of MAS’s Board of Trustees, Mazen Mokhtar. Like Hamdan’s calling the MAS-Minnesota quotes “lies,” MAS stated that I “falsely accused” Mokhtar of “having ties to al-Qaeda.”

According to the U.S. government, Mokhtar was the “U.S.-based administrator” for qoqaz.net (Jihad in Chechnya), a website that was raising funds and recruiting fighters for al-Qaeda and the Taliban shortly before and after the 9/11 attacks. The site was a project of Azzam Publications, an organization named for Osama bin Laden’s mentor, Abdullah Azzam. Mokhtar created and operated “mirror sites” for Qoqaz out of his North Brunswick, New Jersey home.

When I informed Hamdan of this and the fact that Mokhtar had stated on a number of occasions his support for Hamas and suicide bombings, she came back at me with a statement that could only be viewed as bizarre. She wrote, “But that’s not the point is it? He is doing something very nice enough to create these activities for youth. Am I right, he is not terrorizing us is he? No he helps me give the service hours for high school and to teach my sister relig[i]on. He gets muslim girls and boys together.”

When I asked her how she could describe someone who actively supports terrorism overseas as being “very nice,” she told me, in her final e-mail, that Mokhtar “puts an effect on the whole muslim community.”"

Well that part is right.
