Christian pastors often will speak of the sin in the world, or in their nation, and call for repentance, but an expert on terrorism says when imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the unindicted co-conspirators of the 1993 bombing at the World Trade Center, preaches in his mosque, he goes one step further.
"Christian pastors will say the [nation] has taken the wrong course, but they don't say the U.S. is going to be destroyed unless everyone converts to Christianity right now," Steven Emerson, one of the nation's leading experts on terrorism, told WND.
"This is the whole problem of these conferences. They end up inserting a political message into an innocent message, then they politicize the situation. They're basically mobilizing the Muslim public," Emerson said.
"He has a message of Islam reigning supreme, and mixed with his message is the fact of the U.S. being an evil country, and defending terrorism," Emerson said.
"All together that leads someone to become radicalized," said Emerson, considered one of the leading authorities in Islamic extremist networks, financing and operations.
He's also the executive director of The Investigation Project on Terrorism, one of the world's largest storehouses of archival data and intelligence on Islamic and Middle Eastern terrorist groups.
The conference is set up to "address growing Islamophobia," according to sponsors who have titled their event "Muhammad: Mercy To Humanity and Beyond."
Wahhaj is on the program as a featured speaker, but it's not the comments about his faith that concern those who monitor radical groups; it's sentiments such as:
"In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing. And the only thing that will remain will be Islam."

You gonna go and git edumacated on islamophobia so you don’t git stuk in irak?
That aint why I’M going there.....
I thought it was all about the Paleostinian/Israeli conflict, silly me. All this time I thought that is why they wanted to blow up anything and everything. According to the imam all we have to do is convert and become part of the caliphate and everything will be hunky-dory. It makes sense I guess that beheading Christian school girls in Indonesia had nothing to with Paleostinian/Israeli relations. I am sure the imam is a really swell guy but I am going to pass on the whole “joining the caliphate” thingy, at least as long as there are other things I would rather do, like sticking a red-hot poker in my eye. I hope the good imam doesn’t find my comment “islamophobic”, because I assure him there is nothing about him of which I am afraid.
You mean you’re not going for the purpose to learn how to promote death, restriction, and the pursuit of sadness?!
Somehow, methinks you’ve got a little lecture of your own in mind. Here’s a little outline to get you started edumacating any islamofascists you might run into. We wouldn’t want THEM to git stuk in irak! Shoot, we wouldn’t want them to git stuk in America!!
life, the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities
liberty, personal freedom from servitude or confinement or oppression
pursuit, the act of pursuing in an effort to overtake or capture
happiness, state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy
Happy Independence Day to you Race!
Love,
ma
Islam is hazardous to your health.
