The White House announced on Saturday that President Obama will be visiting a Baltimore mosque on Wednesday—the first time he's done so in the U.S. The intended purpose, according to the White House, is to "celebrate the contributions Muslim Americans make to our nation and reaffirm the importance of religious freedom to our way of life."
"The president will hold a roundtable with community members and deliver remarks, where he will reiterate the importance of staying true to our core values — welcoming our fellow Americans, speaking out against bigotry, rejecting indifference, and protecting our nation's tradition of religious freedom," a White House aide said.
But the choice of visiting the Islamic Society of Baltimore is raising eyebrows, given the mosque's history of extremist ties.
The ISB is part of a network of mosques controlled by the Islamic Society of North America, "a Muslim civil rights group named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation terror case. Several executives with that organization were convicted of sending money to aid the terrorist group Hamas," The Daily Caller reports.
Furthermore, Mohammad Adam el-Sheikh, who served as the mosque's imam on two separate occasions for a total of 15 years, was a leading figure in the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan during the 1970s. He also went on to co-found the Muslim American Society in Falls Church, Virginia, which is controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood. His shady history does not end there, however.
While in Baltimore, el-Sheikh served as a regional director for the Islamic American Relief Agency. That group's parent organization is the Islamic African Relief Agency, which the Treasury Department says provided funds to Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda, Hamas and other terrorist organizations.
After leaving Baltimore, el-Sheikh served as imam at the infamous Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church. That mosque has a lengthy roster of known terrorists and terrorist sympathizers. Its imam during much of the 1990s was Mohammed al-Hanooti. He was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six people.
Of all the mosques in the Washington area, this is the one chosen by the Obama administration to be the first the president visits in the states?
Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, vice chairman of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, said the choice is "insulting" to American Muslims.
"It's disgraceful that this is the mosque he's picked to be the first to visit,"Jasser said on "Fox and Friends" Sunday. "This mosque is very concerning … Historically, they are basically a radical, extreme mosque and not representative of the modern Muslims in America."
Disgusting. Reaffirms his ‘Christian religion.’
Religious freedom includes being able to behead christians at-will...
I hope he has the good sense to leave his shoes on.
Oh Really? That same sort of religious tolerance he showed Georgetown University where this Hypocrite-In-Chief demanded all Christian icons be covered up before he gave a speech there? That religious tolerant president?
The Prez’ should take a prayer blanket, like up a Lucky and face Mecca, the source of his faith.
Be terrible if one of the “fabricators” in the mosque basement had an accident during this inspirational visit...
Will Obama take the suicide bombing classes while there?
Treasonous devil should have been tried and thrown in a bottomless pit a long time ago. What ever is going on there won’t be for public consumption. He’s meeting with like-minded devils. They’re up to no good.
Truth, Justice, and the American Way.
This would be akin to FDR attending a Nazi rally. The insanity.
Show me an Islamic country that believes in religious freedom.
This is disgusting, but too soon after the bloodbath in San Bernardino, IMO. Gunning down innocent people at a Christmas party with AR-15's is not kind of "religious freedom" our Forefathers spoke of.
SOUND FAMILIAR?: "I seek to help change America to be a more Islamic country...using freedom of religion in America AGAINST ITSELF." - Valerie Jarrett
Yep. Ask Christians in Syria about religious freedom. If you can find one that isn’t headless.
I guarantee this will be even worse we think it will be. He’ll probably take his shoes off and recite some satanic muslim prayer. Or go on his knees and bang his head into the carpet.
I’m waiting for Muslims in America to contribute to our peace of mind by going to battle against the terrorist Muslims. They are either afraid (it’s hard to blame them for that) or are sympathetic with the terrorists.
Islam IS a terrorist organization.
He will probably give a speech that in some coded fashion encourages his brothers to redouble their efforts to conquer infidel lands and make all subservient to Islam.
