Absolutely and it's good to know it wasn't the Baptists praying before the Big Meal.
You're so right -- what a relief.
He's affiliated with the CAIR-Arizona office.
He's imam with the Islamic Center of the East Valley.
He was a representative for the Muslim PAC at a fundraiser for Jim Pederson who ran against Kyl in 2006.
He's head of the Valley's Imam Council, is the Islamic leader at a local Islamic parochial school, and imam at a local mosque, and he also emceed a recent CAIR-Arizona fundraiser.
He has a law degree from Jordan, and he used to be with the Tucson Islamic Center in 2001.
Some quotes from Omar via the AZ Republic, 09/28/01: "More than 1200 Muslims died in the WTC catastrophe..." and regarding reports by the FBI of Al-Queda nests in the US..."all of these, they made it up."
He's a Muslim extremist by association, and I doubt he was innocently praying on this flight.
