Siraj Wahhaj (Wahaj)

Former National Board member of CAIR

Wahhaj is Amir (President) of the Muslim Alliance of North America (MANA), an organization of African-American Muslim leaders that was created, in May of 2000, through the group Al-Ummah, in response to the arrest of then-leader of Al-Ummah, H. Rap Brown, a.k.a. Jamil Al-Amin, for the murder of a sheriff's deputy. (website of MANA, 'About MANA,' March 17, 2002)

"In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing. And the only thing that will remain will be Islam." (stated by Siraj Wahhaj on audiotape of Wahhaj sermon)

Wahhaj's name was placed on the U.S. Attorney's list of potential co-conspirators to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Wahhaj, soon after, served as a witness for Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, the spiritual leader of the attack, during the bombing trial. (The Wall Street Journal, 'One Imam the Path of Islam in Black America,' October 24, 2003)

“If Allah says stone them to death, through the Prophet Muhammad, then you stone them to death, because it's the obedience of Allah and his messenger -- nothing personal.” (ibid)

Omar Mohammedi (a.k.a. 9/11's Lawyer)

President and former General Counsel of CAIR-New York

Mohammedi is the attorney for the six flying imams that were thrown off of a plane bound for Arizona, in November of 2006, due to their suspicious activity. (Chris Kahn, Associated Press, 'Imams Sue Airline for Removing Them,' March 13, 2007) The imams include Omar Shahin, the former representative of two Hamas charities. (World Net Daily, 'Ejected imam linked to Hamas, bin Laden,' November 21, 2006)

In October of 2002, groups and individuals expressed outrage, after Mohammedi was appointed to the New York City Commission on Human Rights. (Jewish World Review, 'The mainstreaming of terrorist shills? NY Mayor Bloomberg appoints to Human Rights Commission counsel to Arab group accused of condoning terrorism,' October 29, 2002)

"Mr. Mohammedi has so far refused to answer questions from the press about CAIR or about what he thinks of Hamas, Hezbollah, the American Jewish Committee or the World Trade Center bombing." (statement by New York Sun editorial board, Gotham Gazette, 'Controversy at the Human Right Commission,' February 5, 2003)

"When it comes to suspicious or potentially terrorist activity, New Yorkers are encouraged to say something if they see something. Before they do so, I think they have a right to know that they won't be sued by their own human rights commissioner, Omar Mohammedi." (statement by Queens Assmblyman Rory I. Lancman, The Washington Times, "Lawmaker blasts imams' attorney," April 14, 2007)

According to Mohammedi, he is "presently representing various Muslim organizations" in the 9/11 lawsuit filed by the family of the former head of the Counter-Terrorism Section of the FBI, John P. O'Neill. (The Law Firm of Omar T. Mohammedi, LLC, member profile) One of the organizations he is the lawyer for is the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY), a Saudi-based group with offices around the globe that publishes incendiary materials against Jews and openly supports Hamas and violent jihad. (statement of Steven Emerson to the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 'The Rampant Allure of Jihad in the Muslim World,' July 9, 2003) In May of 2004, federal agents raided the Alexandria, Virginia office of WAMY. (Jerry Markon, Washington Post, 'U.S. Raids N.Va. Office Of Saudi-Based Charity,' June 2, 2004)

In May of 2003, Mohammedi participated in an event in New York City for ICNA Relief. (Madinat al-Muslimeen Islamic Message Board, 'NYC: ICNA Relief Fundraiser: May 2,' May 1, 2003) ICNA or the Islamic Circle of North America was founded in 1971 to emulate the Muslim Brotherhood of Pakistan (Jamaat-e-Islami) and has been linked to Al-Qaeda. (Sherrie Gossett, Cybercast News Service, 'NY Muslim Group Linked to bin Laden Supporters,' July 18, 2005) Also speaking at the event was Siraj Wahhaj, an individual who was alleged to have been involved in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. (Militant Islam Monitor, 'List of Unindicted co conspirators in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing,' Decembe 6, 2005)

In March of 2005, Mohammedi represented Sam Solomon (a.k.a. Osama Abdallah) against Fox News Channel, in a case that involved Solomon's website, www.answering-christianity.com. (WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center, Administrative Panel Decision, 'Fox News Network, LLC v. Sam Solomon,' March 25, 2005) Solomon created a mirror site of Answering Christianity, whose address sounded much like that of the Fox News television show, Hannity and Colmes. Featured on the website, which describes 9/11 as "the biggest lie in history," are the following statements:

"Christianity is the cause of our social corruptions today." (Answering Christianity, 'Women in Christianity and Islam. Also, Pornography and Homosexuality in the Bible,' June 1, 2000 - Present)

"I believe that it is safe to say that a large percentage of the Christian women world-wide are Satanic." (Answering Christianity, 'Women in Christianity and Islam. Also, Pornography and Homosexuality in the Bible,' August 4, 2002 - Present)

"Christians [are] porn lovers and sexually open sinners… And if you pay them, they probably wouldn't have a problem in showing their breasts to the public…" (Answering Christianity, 'Women in Christianity and Islam. Also, Pornography and Homosexuality in the Bible,' June 23, 2005 - Present)

"According to the Noble Quran, MOST Jews are evil doers." (Answering Christianity, 'The Jews and their Talmud offensive views on Jesus and Mary and People,' October 23, 2001 - Present)
