Yes, it’s true. “Commends,” not “condemns.” I know it’s beyond belief, but what isn’t these days? We’ve got a President of the United States who is the world’s biggest supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, so why not this? Nothing is really surprising anymore except that there seems to be no one in the Virginia legislature who was informed or courageous enough to stand up and do anything about this.
“Virginia State Legislature Commends Mosque with Terror Links,” by Pamela Geller at Breitbart, March 17:
The Virginia State Legislature this month passed a joint resolution Commending the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center on the 30th anniversary of its founding. This is the mosque that the Treasury Department’s Enforcement Communications System (TECS) says is “operating as a front for Hamas operatives in U.S.” and “is associated with Islamic extremists.”
It adds that Dar Al-Hijrah has been investigated numerous times for “financing and proving aid and comfort” to jihad organizations and has been “linked to numerous individuals linked to terrorism financing.” Has the Virginia State Legislature gone mad?
The resolution praises Dar Al-Hijrah for “30 years of serving and uplifting members of the Northern Virginia Muslim community and conducting outreach to the region in 2013.” It says that the mosque “works to strengthen the Muslim faith in the region through seminars, sermons, lectures, social activities, and clear operational hours for the observance of daily prayer.” The reoslution also states that it is “encouraging the members of the Muslim community to become productive members of society.”
As if all that weren’t enough, the resolution says that “the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center promotes cooperation, tolerance, and mutual understanding among different faiths,” and “conducts outreach in the community, offering educational classes and making charitable donations to those in need.” It expresses the legislators’ “admiration for the center’s commitment to serving the Northern Virginia Muslim community and peoples of all faiths.”
Amid all this boilerplate bloviating, the resolution also notes that “the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center is affiliated with the Muslim American Society,” which it describes as “a national religious, educational, cultural, and charitable organization.”
These legislators no doubt have no idea of what the Chicago Tribune reported in 2004: that the Muslim American Society is the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S.
In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation’s major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members.
Confirming this is Ikhwanweb, the Muslim Brotherhood’s English website, which now carries that article. Shaker Elsayed, the mosque’s imam from 2005 to the present, was Secretary General of the Muslim American Society.
Why does it matter that the MAS is the Brotherhood? Because according to a captured internal Brotherhood document, the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. is engaged in a “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.”
There is much more that should make the Virginia state legislators ashamed of their commendation. The late jihad leader Anwar al-Awlaki was the imam at Dar al-Hijrah. He is said to have been a “spiritual adviser” to three of the hijackers who attacked America on September 11, 2001. Al-Awlaki was also in regular contact with Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab, the Christmas underwear bomber who tried to blow up a passenger jet over Detroit on Christmas Day 2009.
The former Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who murdered thirteen Americans in a jihad massacre at Fort Hood in Texas, worshiped at Dar al-Hijrah when he lived in the area and was in touch with al-Awlaki shortly before he carried out his attack.
The Saudi-backed North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, bought the mosque’s grounds in 1983. Mohammed al-Hanooti, the mosque’s imam from 1995 to 1999, was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Ahmed Omar Abu Ali taught Islamic studies and was a camp counselor at the mosque; he is now in prison for plotting to assassinate President George W. Bush. Abdelhaleem Hasan Abdelraziq Ashqar, a member of the mosque’s Executive Committee, was convicted in November 2007 of contempt and obstruction of justice for refusing to testify regarding Hamas and received an eleven-year prison sentence.
Yet despite all this, this is not the first time the Virginia legislature has behaved as if this mosque were just another house of worship. In 2010, the Virginia General Assembly had Dar al-Hijrah’s Johari Abdul-Malik open the legislative session with a devout Islamic prayer. Abdul-Malik once defended Abdulrahman Alamoudi, who is in prison for financing al-Qaeda.

From the article: “The late jihad leader Anwar al-Awlaki was the imam at Dar al-Hijrah. ”
And here’s a reminder of what Anwar Al-Awlaki was all about.

Muslims May Dispossess The Disbelievers By Theft, Embezzlement, And All Other Means
Safar 12, 1432 A.H, Monday, January 17, 2011
The Ruling On Dispossessing The Disbelievers’ Wealth In Dar Al-Harb
Shaykh Anwar al-Awlaki
“…The greatest form of income is that of the spoils of war and the greatest profession is being a soldier in the path of Allah.
“The income generated from booty taken by force from the enemies of Allah is purer and more virtuous than income generated from being a businessman, an engineer, a physician, or a farmer, simply because that was the source of income that Allah destined for his Messenger Muhammad (SAW). Working as a mujahid is sunnah..”.

—-words from ibn Muslim (above) to the believers in Christ
“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
Whosoever transgresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, has not God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that bids him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”
—-words from the Second Epistle of John to the believers in Christ
Hmmm…….to whom should the believers in Christ listen? I commend to you the words of John.

Act for America sent an email today, 3/18 where you can send a letter to the whole uninformed group, telling them to refute that stupid vote. I bet that most of them have no clue what jihad, sharia law or radical Islam mean. All those words have been scrubbed from the FBI handbook. Thank you Mr. Spencer for all you do.

This one guy I can at least respect. Maybe the commend was for this guy holding his mud?
dumbledoresarmy says
It’s called Dar Al-Hijrah, eh?
Hijrah – “Migration”. The US, therefore, is identified by these Muslims as a “region of migration”.
And why do Muslims “migrate”? In order to expand the dar al Islam.
Sam Solomon, ex-Muslim, and Elias Al-Maqdisi, explain it all in his book “Al-Hijra – the Islamic Doctrine of Immigration”.

The Hijra
By Janet Levy
Modern Day Trojan Horse: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration
By Sam Solomon and Elias Al Maqdisi
Excerpt:
“…Americans and Europeans have made countless accommodations to Muslim demands…
“To those in Western democracies, these accommodating actions appear, on the surface, to be little more than harmless civil gestures, respecting the needs of a growing religion in their midst and welcoming a new addition to their proud, multicultural tradition. Many Westerners pat themselves on the back for their liberal bent, their tolerance and their open-mindedness.
“Little do they realize that this strategic pattern of demands is part of an insidious, 1,400-year-old proscription for Muslims that originates in the Koran and the Sunnah, the deeds of Mohammed.
“It is the Hijra or doctrine of immigration.
“Modeled by Mohammed’s migration from Mecca to Medina, this immigration is not to a romanticized melting pot wherein newcomers gratefully search for opportunities for a better life in liberty and freely offer their talents and loyalty to benefit their new homeland.
“This is immigration for Islamic expansionism employing ethnic separatism to gain special status and privileges within the host country.
“Hijra is immigration designed to subvert and subdue non-Muslim societies and pave the way for eventual, total Islamization.
“In their compelling book, “Modern Day Trojan Horse: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration,” authors Sam Solomon, a former professor of shari’ah law and convert to Christianity, and Elias Al Maqdisi, an expert on Islamic teachings, explain the migration of Muslims to the Dar-al-Harb, the “land of war,” as a religious edict with a basis in Islamic doctrine. They delineate the step-by-step process of this 1,400-year-old strategy of conquest.
” It is a transitional strategy which they characterize as the most important step in spreading Islam and preparing for jihad.
” From their carefully delineated treatise on Hijra, it is clear that migration in concert with military conquest comprise the bookends of Islamic expansionism….”.
Every congressman in the Virginia State Legislature who voted to commend the Dar al Hijrah mosque should be sent, at the very least,a copy of this review, with covering letter; and those who did *not* vote for that commendation (did anyone vote against it? ) should *also* be sent a copy, with a covering letter thanking them and telling them that after they have read the article, they will understand just how significant was their “No”.
The six Useful Idiots – or worse – who *proposed* the resolution should be sent copies of the book.
Then they will have no excuse.
