ACCESS may be the most frightening funder of the conference because its chief, Ismael Ahmed, is running for University of Michigan regent in the November elections. And because American tax dollars fund his organization American tax dollars which he then used to pay for this hateful conference.

According to its latest annual report, in 2001, ACCESS got at least 73.6% of its $10.2 million annual revenue from taxpayers. ACCESS, North America's largest Arab welfare agency, funded commercial driving lessons and attempts to get hazardous-materials hauling certificates for Ahmed Hannan and Karim Koubriti, members of Detroit's recently indicted al-Qaida cell. When confronted by the press, ACCESS chief and Michigan regent candidate Ahmed dismissed their al-Qaida membership as a mere "political credential."

I had never even heard of them before. And reading stuff like this makes me realize it's almost definite we're going to end up like France.

Did you know that Mueller won't even say the words terrorism and radical Islam in the same sentence? I've lost hope that anyone takes the threat seriously.

Here's a picture from this thread where I did the original research on them. I guess I need to go back and do some more research on the other groups.

According to post #22 on that thread:

The demonstrators are to include members of LASED, the Dearborn-based Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services (ACCESS), some Catholic churches in Detroit, and the Metropolitan Organizing Strategy Enabling Strength (MOSES).
