If they're going to make these charges, I hope they have the goods.
* Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center :
(FALLS CHURCH, VA : DAR AL-HIJRAH ISLAMIC CENTER : ) An associate imam at a large mosque here attended by two of the 9-11 hijackers says Muslims who die while fighting unbelievers in the cause of Allah are no different from U.S. Marines fighting and dying for America in Iraq and Afghanistan. Johari Malik of the Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Va., made the comparison in defending a sermon given earlier this year [Jan 2003] by the mosque’s former head cleric, Anwar Aulaqi, who is under FBI investigation for his ties to the suicidal hijackers and other terrorists. [Johari] Malik – who remains close to [Anwar] Aulaqi, now living in Yemen, his place of birth – says there’s nothing wrong with such sermons [as the one given by Anwar Aulaki in London]. ‘’That’s the same thing as telling Marines in this country semper fidelis,’’ Malik told WorldNetDaily. ‘’Telling people to give their all for their faith is not an unusual idea.’’ ———— “D.C. mosque tied to 9-11 extols martyrdom virtues ;” by Paul Sperry, WorldNetDaily.com, Thursday, September 11, 2003
