Attorney to terrorists organizes Muslim rally at Capitol

Hassan Abdellah briefs his helpers Wednesday at Dar Ul-Islam, a mosque in Elizabeth, about the Jummah Prayer on Capital Hill, A Day of Islamic Unity . Abdellah and the Al-Slam are spearheading the national prayer service.

A lawyer with a history of representing Islamic terrorists, including men connected to the 1993 and 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, is one of the chief organizers of a large Muslim prayer service intended as a show of American patriotism Friday at the Capitol.

Hassen Abdellah is president of Dar-ul-Islam, the mosque in Elizabeth, N.J., that is organizing the event. He said the mosque began organizing the gathering, called "Jummah Prayer on Capitol Hill: A Day of Islamic Unity," several months ago to convey to Muslims around the world the freedoms enjoyed by their American confreres.

The event has inspired enough rumors to warrant an entry on factcheck.org and a competing event on Friday at the Rayburn House Office Building sponsored by a group called Stop Islamization of America.

Several Islamic groups have distanced themselves from the event. The Islamic Society of America (ISNA) and the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) say they will not be participating.

Imam Johari Abdul-Malik of Dar Al Hijrah in Falls Church, the area's largest mosque, said he is attending but there will be no representatives from the All Dulles Area Muslim Society in Sterling, one of the region's largest mosques.

Mr. Abdellah, as a lawyer, represented several terrorists. He was part of a legal team that represented Mahmoud Abouhalima, who was charged in the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, and also represented Faruq Brent, a Baltimore cabdriver who pleaded guilty in April 2007 to providing material support for Lashkar-e-Taiba, a terrorist group.

He was briefly the attorney for Mohamed el-Atriss, who was convicted of selling fake IDs to two Sept. 11 hijackers, and represented Numan Maflahi, a New Jersey gas station owner who was convicted in 2004 of making false statements to federal agents.

Mr. Abdellah defended his record, saying his detractors have not mentioned that he was a prosecutor for Union County, N.J., from 1983 to 1989, just after graduating from Seton Hall University School of Law in New Jersey."I represent all kinds of people; that is what lawyers do," he said. "We protect the Constitution by representing the rights of people who no one else wants to deal with."

"We want to show the rest of the world that as Muslims, we don't have restrictions in terms of our religious practice," Mr. Abdellah said. "And Americans have been asking for the Muslims - who love this country - to step up and step forward and renounce the conflict that has taken place."

The stated goal on the event's Web site is to "manifest Islam's majestic spiritual principles" in chants that will "echo off the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument and other great edifices that surround Capitol Hill."
