Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Congressional Black Caucus to honor Mahdi Bray

Sep 9, 2006 2:28 am By Marisol Seibold

According to The Muslim Link’s August 4, 2006 issue:

“Last month’s record setting Muslim March on Washington, Bray”s continuous media appearances, and his outspoken support for Muslim political prisoners such as Ahmed Abu Ali, Dr. Ali Al-Tamimi, and Dr. Sami Al Arian are just a few of the examples organizers feel justified in recognizing Bray.

An event organizer adds:

“Given the significance of the CBC and their Annual Conference, this is a prime opportunity for dawah”, says Jameel Alim Johnson, one of the event organizers. Johnson adds, by holding this event we have the chance to (1) invite an influential sector of America to the path of Islam; (2) increase the allies of the Muslim community in positions of influence; and/or (3) at least reduce the numbers of those who are misguided about Islam in the ranks of government and business leaders.”

More background on Bray is available from Jihad Watch here.

From World Net Daily: “Muslim activist gets congressional award”

WASHINGTON – The Black Congressional Caucus tomorrow night plans to honor a Muslim activist whose organization once publicly admitted it sought to impose on America an Islamic Sharia state.

Imam Mahdi Bray, the executive director of the Muslim American Society, will get his award at the caucus’ “Middle East Briefing and Pre-Ramadan Brunch” at the Grand Hyatt.

The Muslim American Society was formerly known as the Muslim Brotherhood in America, a secretive organization whose goals included turning the U.S. into an Islamic state, according to an investigative report in the Chicago Tribune [in] 2004. Officially,
today, MAS denies any desire to turn America into an Islamic state.

The newspaper report quoted from the Chicago chapter’s website: “It includes reading materials that say Muslims have a duty to help form Islamic governments worldwide and should be prepared to take up arms to do so. One passage states that “until the nations of the world have functionally Islamic governments, every individual who is careless or lazy in working for Islam is sinful.” Another one says that Western secularism and
materialism are evil and that Muslims should “pursue this evil force to its own lands” and “invade its Western heartland.”

Those passages later were sanitized from the website.

Last month, MAS teamed up with ANSWER, a coalition of socialist and communist activists, and the National Council of Arab Americans in sponsorship of a “National Emergency March in Washington.

A number of leaders for ANSWER — Act Now to Stop War and End Racism — were members of the Workers World Party and now belong to the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a Marxist-Leninist organization founded in 2004.

Along with the “plight of the Palestinian people and the recent atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon,” the Muslim group says it will focus on the war in Iraq and “the continuous violation of civil rights and civil liberties within the American Muslim community.”

The Freedom Foundation is the public affairs arm of the Muslim American Society, which calls itself the largest grassroots Muslim organization in the country, with more than 50 chapters nationwide.

As WND reported, the MAS held a rally in July during which a Jewish activist was physically assaulted and threatened.

The event at Boston’s City Hall Plaza was the group’s “Justice for Palestine and Lebanon Protest.” Signs brought by participants included some calling for “victory” for the terrorist group Hezbollah and the “Palestinian Resistance.”

In a WND interview, Bray blamed the United States and President Bush for the war between Hezbollah and Israel.

Bray said that while there are “no clean hands” in the escalating violence, the United States has failed completely.

“We have the “capability of doing something,” he said. “Our position is not defensible that we have not used our leverage to obtain a cease-fire.”

This year’s other Congressional Black Caucus honorees include its own chairman, Mel Watt, Michigan Rep. John Conyers, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Cynthia McKinney, Georgia Democrat.
