Group's mainstream Islamist convention last weekend featured hate speech and Hezbollah Defense
A top aide to President Barack Obama provided a keynote address at last weekend's 46th Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) national convention, a gathering that attracted thousands of people and also featured anti-Semitic, homophobic rhetoric and defense of the terrorist group Hezbollah.
In her remarks, Senior Advisor for Public Engagement and International Affairs Valerie Jarrett noted she was the first White House official to address ISNA. She spoke in general terms about interfaith dialogue and cooperation. She praised her hosts for "the diversity of American organizations, and ideas that are represented and will be debated" at the convention.
And she openly invited ISNA President Ingrid Mattson to work on the White House Council on Women and Girls that Jarrett leads.

Mattson was born in 1963 in Ontario, Canada, to Roman Catholic parents. She abandoned her Christian faith as a teenager. In the 1980s she attended the University of Waterloo, Ontario, where she studied philosophy. There she befriended a group of Muslims and converted to Islam. Following her graduation in 1987, Mattson relocated to Pakistan, where she worked with Afghan refugee women. In 1995 she served as an advisor to the Afghan delegation to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. In 1999 she earned her Ph.D. in Islamic Studies from the University of Chicago. Islam wishes to destroy all States and Governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation which rules it Islam does not intend to confine this revolution to a single State or a few countries; the aim of Islam is to bring about a universal revolution. In 2001 Mattson was elected Vice President of ISNA; five years later she was elected President. No, its not true to characterize Wahhabism that way. This is not a sect. It is the name of a reform movement that began 200 years ago to rid Islamic societies of cultural practices and rigid interpretation that had acquired over the centuries. It really was analogous to the European Protestant Reformation . [T]he Saudi scholars who are Wahhabi have denounced terrorism and denounced in particular the acts of September 11. In 2002 Mattson authored a chapter, titled Stopping Oppression: an Islamic Obligation, in the book September 11: Religious Perspectives on the Causes and Consequences. She wrote: Muslims perceive that Israeli aggression against Palestinians continues without American sanction; indeed, enormous financial and military support for Israel has continued. It seems that any Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation is termed terrorism, and is responded to with overwhelming force. The result is the Palestinians themselves are increasingly showing less restraint in the force they employ to defend their families and lands. Mattson went on to condemn American foreign policy as a force of evil not only in the Middle East, but all over the world: The American government has not criticized sufficiently the brutality of the Israeli government, believing that it needs to be supportive of the Jewish state. The result is that oppression, left unchecked, can increase to immense proportions, until the oppressed are smothered with hopelessness and rage . So often we have to tell other Muslims throughout the world, that America is not as bad as it appears. We tell them, These policies (support for oppressive governments, enforcement of sanctions against Iraq, lack of support for Palestinians) contradict the true values of America The critical situation we find ourselves living in today is the result, to a great extent, of allowing injustice and oppression to continue unchecked. In a September 2002 interview with PBS, Mattson stated that she did not see any difference between Christian leaders criticizing Islam or al Qaeda on the one hand, and Osama bin Laden citing Islamic theology to justify violence against Americans on the other. That is, she believed that the Christians were inciting terrorism in a manner not unlike bin Laden. |

Information on the organization in post 22
Exactly.
Wow....just wow. This president is certainly on a mission to destroy this nation, and joining with others in spreading chaos in the earth.
They did such a bang-up job in Tehran.
Veil! Veil! We need a veil!
Just damn. No further questions here. Thank you for that.
Valerie Jarrett
Obama's closest aide is Shirazi
Jarrett is a member of African-American and Chicago royalty. But her story and her life begin in the Middle East, not the Midwest. She was born in 1956 in Shiraz, Iran, about 570 miles south of Tehran.
Her parents moved to Shiraz, known for its poets, wine and flowers, as part of a program that sent American doctors and agricultural experts to developing countries to help jump-start their health and farming efforts.
Her father was on the staff of the brand new Nemazee Hospital, where Jarrett was born.
"Every memory from Iran is a very happy memory," Jarrett told me in an e-mail/

In plain sight.
Thank you for that. Talk about connecting the dots...
Will they debate the pros and cons of the death sentence imposed on any non-muslim who'd dare enter the segregated cities of Mecca and Medina and how none of the world's 1 billion+ muslims who bow to Mecca five times a day every day seem to be bothered by this?
Will she bring articles of impeachment?
Yes. -Unfortunately.
Insinuate that Hurricane Katrina was a result of tolerance for homosexuality.
Okay, can some leftist explain to me why it’s okay for a Muslim to say this, and outrageous when Pat Robertson makes a similar statement? It’s a rhetorical question, I know the answer is that it’s all about leftist power.
Read the article (@ post 33) written by this Obama new-hire. These folks seem to deliberately speak to their own demanding that you read between the lines. OM Lord, this is beyond scary.
Excuse me .. you don’t invite ISLAM (who hates women) to work on a Women and Girls project.
This is disgusting!!
“Okay, can some leftist explain to me why its okay for a Muslim to say this, and outrageous when Pat Robertson makes a similar statement? Its a rhetorical question, I know the answer is that its all about leftist power.”
You are exactly right. It’s a ‘power thing’.
The leftist/marxists consider radical Muslims as proxy agents for their war on capitalism.
