Deconstructing Imam Ibrahim Dremali : Former Jihadi leader of Islamic
Center of Boca Raton portrayed as 'peacenik' in Iowa

Unsubstantiated report of 'assault by rednecks in a pickup truck' deflected attention from mosque's anti semitic web postings
May 2, 2005

MIM: Last month Ibrahim Dremali was welcomed by the Des Moines Register as the new Imam of the Islamic Center of Des Moines who was
'taking time from his busy schedule' to post flyers announcing the anti Iraq war demonstration. Dremali was quoted as saying that, "my
mission as a Muslim is to bring peace". Which is a far cry from Imam Dremali's statements at a Florida Jihad rally in 2000 at which he exhorted
the crowd, "not to be sad for the martyrs, or be afraid to die for what they believed in". In a recent Des Moines Register article, Dremali was
portrayed as having found 'refuge' in Des Moines, and he told the journalist that the statements had the Jihad rally had been 'words which
were put in my mouth'.What Dremali failed to reveal was that the article had been written by an associate (who was said to be his co wife)
Um Ahmad, aka Lamyaa Hashim. http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/508

It was none other than Dremali's own mosque spokesman, Hassan Shareef, who told the Boca News that, Dremali had made the statements,
"in the heat of the moment".http://www.bocanews.com/index.php?src=news&prid=5239&category=LOCAL%20NEWS

The article below shows that Ibrahim Dremali deliberately distorted the truth to the Des Moines Register, knowing that he could count on
help from a paper whose proven eagerness to portray him as a 'peace loving Muslim victim', despite proof to the contrary, would overide their
public obligations of journalistic integrity .

The author of the piece further eroded her credibility, by asking Ibrahim Hooper ,of the Council of American Islamic Relations, to comment on
the charges against Dremali. A top official of Hooper's organisation, Gassan Elashi, had been convicted on 21 counts of terrorism related
charges, which included 'conspiracy, money laundering and dealing in the property of a terrorist', only 5 days before.

MIM:Deja vu all over again, as Dremali cries victim to the Palm Beach Post in 2001, which falsely claims that he 'went into hiding' much like the
Des Moines register claimed he had 'found refuge a Des Moines mosque'. Dremali was a high profile leader of the Islamic community in South
Florida who worked as a professor at Broward Community College, lectured for the Muslim Student Association, and took a job as an
engineer at a coastal planning firm in 2003.

A 2001 item in 'The Year in Review' summed up the story :

"...The spiritual leader of the Islamic Center of Boca Raton, Imam Ibrahim Dremali, is forced into hiding after being shoved up against the van
in his driveway by two men with a shotgun. He was warned, "If we see you in church tomorrow, you're dead meat." Dremali assumed they
were referring to a highly publicized interfaith community service on terrorism that was to take place in Boynton Beach. But he had already
withdrawn from the event due to Jewish leaders' concerns over anti-Semitic statements that appeared on the Islamic Center's Web site. A
United States citizen and a teacher at Palm Beach Community College, Dremali wanted to spread the word of peace but found himself
retreating. "I'm like a paranoid. Every truck I see on the street, knock on the door — I never had to look before. Now I say, ‘Who is this?' "
Dremali told The Palm Beach Post . http://www.citylinkmagazine.com/cover/coverstory010202.html

Deconstructing Imam Ibrahim Dremali

Prologue

It is with a rising sense of alarm that we observe the domino effect currently taking place in America with regard to radical Islam.

On many fronts - in the media, Fox Broadcasting and National Review and in high tech manufacturing, Dell Computer - we are witnessing a
caving process taking place that is granting undeserved legitimacy, and with it increased power, to Islamist organizations which are inimical
to secular Western institutions.

Groups like CAIR and other Saudi funded Wahabi pressure groups are following a pattern established over a thousand years ago, one which
is quite familiar to scholars of Muslim history.

In the West many people are familiar, in a general sense, with Mohammed, the founder of Islam. Similarly they are familiar with city of Mecca,
Saudi Arabia, which is considered Islam's most sacred city.

Most however are not conversant with the manner in which Islam, with Mohammed as its military leader, conquered the city in the first place.

Why is this story important?

It is relevant in helping to understand a facet of Islam which helps place its current feigning of moderation in perspective.

A brief primer.

In the early 600s Mohammed resided in the city of Mecca. Though his power was on the rise, it was not yet sufficient to defy the Quraysh
tribe which controlled the city. Biding his time, he fled the city in 622, taking refuge in Medina. By 628 Mohammed realized that his strength
had increased to the point where the Quraysh might be challenged, but instead he opted for a tactic which would become from that time on,
associated with Muslim military strategy. He declared a truce with the Quraysh and a treaty was signed - the Treaty of Hudaybiya - in the
town of the same name, but it was a one-sided truce.

Over the next two years Mohammed built alliances and added tremendously to his fighting forces and in 630 succeeded in conquering the city
of Mecca, the Quraysh being so awed by Mohammed's formidable army that they surrendered without a struggle.

Since that time the concepts associated with the Quraysh and Hudaybiya treaty, have become inextricably incorporated into Muslim thought
and practice. For example in 1994 after having successfully cowed the Israelis with talk of a bloody jihad into a series of concessions, Yassir
Arafat defended his actions to even more radical hardliners as follows:

"[we] see this agreement as being no more than the agreement signed between our Prophet Muhammad and the Quraysh in Mecca."

For more on this subject see, Lessons from the Prophet Muhammad's Diplomacy - Daniel Pipes - Middle East Quarterly, September 1999

Fortunately Arafat is no longer with us, but the method that he referred to lives on, now funded by Saudi money and embodied in the
Wahabbist sympathies of most of the so-called mainstream American Muslim organizations such as CAIR.

At its most extreme we see the lessons of Hudaybiya and the Quraysh embodied in the Takfir Wal Hijra group.

Takfir ideology is such that its members may ignore normal Islamic proscriptions. They may lead riotous lives, attending lap-dance clubs,
having indiscriminate sex, eating prohibited foods such as pork and drinking to excess in order to better blend into the Kufir [infidel] society,
from whence at an appointed time they spring into murderous action.

"[They appear to be] regular, fun-loving guys, but they'd slit your throat or bomb your building in a second..." - Time Magazine

This was the very MO of the 9/11 plotters; ignoring it will certainly not make it go away.

Foreword

Imam Ibrahim Dremali has led a busy life since he came to the United States after fleeing Egypt as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood,
apparently to spread the message of jihad in America under the guise of seeking religious freedom.
http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze43v8m/page4.html

In February he suddenly left his position as Imam of the 7-acre Boca Raton Islamic Center to take over the tiny and reportedly cash strapped
Islamic Center of Des Moines, Iowa.

In recent newspaper coverage Dremali casts himself as a hapless 'refugee' who was hounded out of Boca Raton, because he was a Muslim,
feigning tears of relief at finding peace and quiet in Iowa.

Born in Gaza when it was still controlled by Egypt [Gaza, the Sinai Peninsula, the Eastern sector of Jerusalem and the Golan heights were all
liberated by Israel during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war]. Dremali later moved to Egypt where he was educated in Islamic religious theology and
geology at Al Azhar University.

While there Dremali started his religious training. Dr. Ibrahim Dremali -Sheikh Ibrahim - has a degree in Shariah from Al-Azhar University and a
PhD in Geology. Al Azhar University was also the alma mater of Bin Laden's mentor Abdullah Azzam as well as being a center of Muslim
Brotherhood and Islamic Jihad activities which included the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat.

Dremali fled to the US where he continued his education in geology. In 1998 Dremali co-founded the Islamic Center of Boca Raton, together
with FAU professors Bassem Al Halabi and Khalid Hamza, and becoming its Imam.

It didn't take Dremali long to become a political activist in the United States. He participated in a series of pro-Palestinian demonstrations that
were held across from the Israeli Embassy in Miami in 2000. At these events vitriolic speeches were made while Israeli flags were burned.

In October at one of these events - as demonstrators shouted "Haya al Jihad" [Long live Jihad] and "With jihad we'll claim our land, Zionist
blood will wet the sand" - Dremali shouted to the crowd:

"...[don't] be sad for those who were martyred and to not be afraid to die for what they believe in."

So Dremali brings along considerable baggage as we attempt to understand one of the seminal events in his life; an "anti-Muslim attack"
which allegedly occurred in 2001 and which is being bandied about by Dremali now in his new digs in America's heartland.

Two Weeks Post 9-11

Ibrahim Dremali has claimed for over three years now, that he was the victim of an aggravated assault which took place just a few weeks
after the 9-11 terrorist attacks.
