Anti-U.S. materials found at mosques
Report says Wahhabi writings found in Richardson; imam says he doesn't follow teaching

Anti-Jewish and anti-American propaganda published by the Saudi Arabian government has been on display at U.S. mosques, according to an American human rights group.
The publications – including some found in the largest mosque in the Dallas area – urge Muslims to hate Christians and Jews and to refuse service in "infidel" armies.
The preachings are in keeping with tenets of Wahhabi theology, the brand of Islam that prevails in Saudi Arabia.
A spokesman in the Saudi Embassy in Washington, Nail Al-Jubeir, said some of the materials cited may be obsolete and may not have been sent to America by the Saudi government. But he said the Saudis are investigating the claims made last week in a report by the Washington-based Freedom House.
Imam Yusuf Kavakci of the Dallas Central Mosque in Richardson acknowledged that Wahhabi materials have been brought into his mosque – among scores of publications on display there – but he said he rejects the Wahhabi teachings.

Typical TROP bilge. A defense based on the illiteracy of those involved.
This always their fall back.
Once this is punched full of holes then they change their line and offer a translation which glosses over their bloodthirsty intenetions
Once this is shown to be the case they fall back to their "Islamophobic" named calling.
Watch them sometime.

Anti-U.S. materials found at mosques

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas or General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.
Maybe when one of these ROP "mosques" show up on the streets of Crawford, we'll all get serious about dealing with the enemy. Of course, by then, it will be too late.
Here is the next part of the article. Interesting:
The point of the report, she said, was to demonstrate that the Saudi government – supposedly an ally in the war on terrorism – sends material into America that could encourage terror.
Many Muslim leaders acknowledge that oil-rich Saudi Arabia pays for an enormous amount of literature supporting the extremely restrictive salafi or Wahhabi version of Islam that holds sway in Saudi Arabia. That branch of Islam, which is highly critical of non-Muslims and even what it considers less-observant Muslims, is followed by a fraction of the world's billion-plus Muslims, experts say.
High-quality pamphlets and books are distributed in large quantities by the Saudi government and Saudi-funded organizations – while more moderate Muslim groups lack the finances to compete.
Some Saudi-produced materials end up at the Richardson mosque, Imam Kavakci said, but he added that neither he nor other mosque officials have time to read it all.
"I am not a police chief. I am not a district attorney," he said. "I am a religious guy."
The presence of the materials hardly makes the Richardson mosque an outpost of Wahhabi theology, Imam Kavakci said. He has had to explain to his members that some of the Saudi material does not represent his understanding of Islam.
"The Saudi approach is a problem," he said. "It's a problem for me, here."
Ping to #24 and #26 .....

Let's see, the Keepers of the two cities central to your
religion, send you religious material and you explain to
your co-religionists, that it really isn't meaningful as
to your religion.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
Your thread is saved for reference.

We, in turn, have the right to sic Homeland Security and the FBI on their asses.

Hard to ignore what's going on in Jersey City
By Roger Franklin
Inside America http://www.theage.com.au
February 6, 2005
When New Yorkers think about Jersey City, just across the Hudson, it is seldom with any affection, except maybe on the part of Sopranos fans, who recognise it as the place where Godfather Tony is skimming the construction budget for the Museum of Science and Trucking.
Jersey City is that sort of place.
Corruption scandals forced three of its last 10 mayors from office, the neighbourhoods are gritty, the eateries unfashionable, and the ambience decidedly down at heel. For most Manhattan-bound travellers, the place exists only as a penance for taking the wrong turn on the freeway from Newark Airport.
Sometimes it is harder to ignore. Like in 1993, when fundamentalists from a Jersey City mosque packed a rented van with fertiliser and fuel, and mounted the first attempt to bring down the Twin Towers. A couple of years later, there was another plot, to blow up the bridges and tunnels into New York, the UN building, Stock Exchange, Jewish Museum and, as usual, the World Trade Centre. You had to wonder what was going on over there.
And wonder even more in the weeks after September 11, when several of the anthrax letters that deepened America's panic turned out to have been mailed from within a few minutes' drive of Jersey City, home to the largest concentration of Middle Eastern migrants on the East Coast.
The feds said not to worry, that the toxic notes were the work of a homegrown right-winger out to frame Muslims. Three years on, with no arrests and the initial suspect all but cleared, the culprit's identity and motive remain moot.
Now comes another reason to gaze across the river and wonder what goes on beneath Jersey City's shabby skyline. When the front-page news is of an entire family ritually slaughtered, it gets some attention.
The massacre took place on January 14 at the home of Hossam Armanious, an Egyptian Christian, whose body was found with that of his wife, each bound and gagged, throats hacked almost to the spine and their faces repeatedly slashed. Their daughters, 16 and eight, received the same treatment.
The local cops' first reaction was to downplay any suggestion of a religious motive. Armanious' wallet and a quantity of jewellery were missing, they said. Probably just another robbery, albeit an usually bloody one, or maybe the result of a dispute with a former tenant. City officials urged residents to stay calm, to remind themselves that Islam is the religion of peace and that only bigots suspect their neighbours.
Noble sentiments - but increasingly hard to embrace as further details of Armanious' last days came to light. If anything was stolen, it amounted to no more than pocket change.
Next, it emerged that the father was a devoted poster at an internet chat room operated by MyTalk.com, where he often urged Muslim posters to embrace his own Coptic faith.
Shortly before the family was laid to rest, two more revelations. In November, a MyTalk poster had warned Armanious, "You'd better stop this bulls--t or we are going to track you down like a chicken and kill you."
That connection led investigators to a radical Muslim website where users agreed that the family had it coming.
"This is a picture of the filthy dog, curser of Muhammad, and a photo of his filthy wife, curser of Muhammad. They got what they deserved," cheered one poster. Names, addresses, pictures and biographical details of Christians and apostate Muslims were listed with messages urging vigilante justice.
The website, which ceased publication last week, left no doubt where it stood in regard to all Christians. Its home page featured a crucifix disfigured by a blood "X".
In Jersey City, the investigation continues, as do official warnings that the Armanious family's fellow Copts had better not jump to conclusions about their Muslim neighbours. On streets where the chill of religious hatred is as obvious and ugly as the mounds of soot-mottled snow lining the kerbs, those pleas aren't gaining much traction. At the funeral, a near riot broke out when Copts and Muslims traded insults, then punches, as the coffins were carried from the church.
Last week, a Jersey City Copt summed up the mood. "This is America. Here, you shouldn't die for talking about religion," he said. Tellingly, he asked to remain anonymous because "vengeance is coming" and he didn't want his name on any lists of potential troublemakers.
Blaming Muslims is a bum rap, insists Ahmed Sheded, local Islamic centre president, who says the killers "are very far away from our community. A real Muslim can't do that. Any religious person who believes in God cannot do this, even to an animal."
The question now is just who could perpetrate such a horror? Until that is resolved, the suspicion will simmer - and Jersey City can't hope to regain its former status as the town the rest of America can afford to ignore.

Thanks for the ping!
Surprise surprise. Islam is by definition anti freedom of thought, freedom of religion. It's execution for any Muslim trying to change to another religion. It's fatwa if any Muslim criticizes Islam or an iman in any way. It's totally incompatible with everything in our Constitution.
"Imam Yusuf Kavakci of the Dallas Central Mosque in Richardson acknowledged that Wahhabi materials have been brought into his mosque – among scores of publications on display there – but he said he rejects the Wahhabi teachings."
Translation " Oh $hit, we got caught.........I know nuthink" !!!!!!!!
Richardson, Texas, the nexus of this article, was the home of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, the North American fundraiser for HAMAS, the Palestine Islamic terrorist group. It was the first Muslim charitable foundation to be closed in the wake of 9/11 (December 2001). It was argued that money collected by Holy Land was uded to recruit suicide bombers and support their families.
The knowledge that a Richardson mosque was distributing seditious literature should not have been a consequnece of a Freedom House study! One really must wonder what the FBI is up to? Could it be that their touted successes in the war on terror are really just another smokescreen to cover the Bureau's historic ineptitude in this realm.
