Leader of Muslim Brotherhood-linked group, unindicted co-conspirator in Hamas jihad terror funding case, attends Obama's Ramadan dinner

At the very end of the Guest list for Obama's White House Ramadan dinner (LA Times, September 1, with thanks to Trazar) comes up again the name "Dr. Ingrid Mattson, president, Islamic Society of North America."

Federal prosecutors last summer rejected claims that ISNA was unfairly named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding case.

ISNA has admitted ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. The Muslim Brotherhood is waging, in its own words, "a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah's religion is made victorious over all other religions."

And the head of ISNA was at the White House Ramadan dinner.

This would form an excellent basis for a question to the POTUS at his next press conference. Or town hall.

OT - today is the 5th anniversary of the Beslan horror.

No participation in a National day of Prayer; He did not allow the air force to participate in a Christian based celebration to our country, but he dines with our enemy during a season celebrating murder and pedophilia.
Our President is either a muslim or he hates the people who elected him. I am now convinced that the world has decided to go it without the US in world affairs as Putin, Ahmadinijad, King Faud, Europe, China, Cuba, Venezuela,N. Korea have recognized that our Prez will turn on his own people before he will help any other country.
This is what is happening, now. Obama is the antichrist. Only a man with muslim upbringing and sympathy, knowledge of christianity and hatred of jews can bring chaos and world war. Ahmadinijad, we have elected your Mahdi! You already wear his mark!

Absolutely abominable! Have they quit doing any background checks on the guest list now? Does it make any difference? I hope we can survive another 3 and a half years of this.

"Only a man with muslim upbringing and sympathy, knowledge of christianity and hatred of jews can bring chaos and world war. Our President is either a muslim or he hates the people who elected him."

I broken-heartedly agree...

When will the rest of the country wake up. Are our polititions so blind they don't see what is happening? Get ready for civil war people, stock up on guns, ammo, food and water. I'm afraid unfortunately this is what it is going to come down to in our own country because there are too many "leaders" turning a blind eye to all that is going on.

The Muslim lady Obama invited, Ingrid Mattson, President of the Islamic Society of North America, also has been a main instructor involved in training Muslims who seek to be chaplains throughout the North American prison system as well as the US military.

According to this fine article by Frank Gaffney, Ingrid Mattson is “director of the Macdonald Center for the Study of Islamic Studies and Christian-Muslim Relations at the Hartford Seminary in Connecticut. Her program is used to credential Muslim chaplains for U.S. prisons and our military.”

In this capacity, one of the classes she teaches on the Koran uses texts by two Islamic scholars who have inspired modern Islamic terrorists: Syed Abul A'la Maududi and Sayyid Qutb. About Maududi's work, Ms. Mattson has said that it is “probably the best work of [Koranic commentary] in English.”

Here is what Maududi has written:

"Islam wishes to destroy all states and governments anywhere on the face of the Earth which are opposed to the ideology and program of Islam regardless of the country or the nation which rules it. The purpose of Islam is to set up a state on the basis of its own ideology and program, regardless of which nation assumes the role of the standard bearer of Islam or the rule of which nation is undermined in the process of the establishment of an ideological Islamic State. . . 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."

Viz the Beslan massacre:

It's gonna happen here.

I don't see any Christian or Jewish celebrations in the White House, wonder why? It will be interesting to see how the Obamas celebrate Christmas. You can bet tradition will be thrown out the window.

I'm expecting a soviet-style parade with uniformed ACORN thugs and union members, and a passionate speech from Obama encouraging college students to join his army. I'm still trying to figure out what community organizers actually do, besides engage in election and welfare fraud. What were the American people thinking when they elected this Marxist radical?

You should be aware of this

obama seeks to erase the most heinous attack in the history of America.

In April obama signed into law that will now name 9/11 as a National Day of Service, desecrating the memories of everyone who died in the attacks on New York and the Pentagon. As if the worst attacks never happened on American soil, he sought to erase the solidarity and resolve of the American people to rename something under the socialist idea of national service?

What is even sicker is that he celebrates and praises moslems on the 5th anniversary of the Beslan horror.

Ingrid Mattson. Smug superiority personified. She must have loved Obama's speech:

Sept. 1 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama highlighted the contributions made by Muslims to American culture and the “dynamism and diversity” of the Islamic community.

“Islam, as we know, is part of America,” Obama said at a White House dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. “Together we have a responsibility to foster engagement grounded in mutual interest and mutual respect.”

“That’s one of my fundamental commitments as president both at home and abroad,” Obama said. “That is central to the new beginning that I’ve sought between the United States and Muslims around the world and that is a commitment that we can renew once again during this holy season.”

Anyone else feel like puking?

ImNoDhimmi - I do feel some nausea. The question is - will the American people award the dhimmi president a second term?

The other day I had a short exchange with a fellow commenter on the “Why America's reputation among Muslims has "taken a hit"” thread.

He insisted Obama is an idiot while I considered a possibility he is mad. It seems now that the most plain truth about the man is his being a traitor. Whether he also is stupid, mad, or both is quite beside the point at this stage of his career. Let’s leave these possibilities for his lawyers to suggest after the bastard is arrested.

Good post on Ingrid Mattson's background, Hesperado.

Let's not forget that she was also prominently featured as a "prayer leader" at Obama's inauguration.

What sort of prayers would a supporter of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood have for Athe United States?

What hope is there for a nation that has elected a traitor to lead it.
