Not a word of objection from the Hilton, which expelled a group of ex-Muslims for fear that ISNA conference attendees might be offended.
“Some of the Worst Islamist Hate Preachers Gather at ISNA’s Houston Conference,” by Martha Lee, Algemeiner, August 31, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):
From August 31 to September 3, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) will host its 55th Annual Convention in Houston, Texas. Although ISNA is one of the largest Muslim advocacy groups in the United States, the organization has a history of inviting extremist speakers to address its crowds. This year’s conference fits ISNA’s usual pattern. Titled “In God We Trust,” the convention once again features speakers with long histories of inciting hatred against Jews, women, homosexuals, and other minorities.
One Muslim commentator noticeably missing, however, is Wajahat Ali, a prominent Muslim-American attorney and journalist. His invitation to the ISNA conference was revoked after he took part in the Shalom Hartman Institute’s Muslim Leadership Initiative, a program that “invites North American Muslims to explore how Jews understand Judaism, Israel and Jewish peoplehood.”
According to Ali, his involvement with this interfaith initiative, as well as an article he wrote about his conversations with Israelis, led to his expulsion.
While Ali appears beyond the pale for ISNA and its supporters, some of America’s most extreme Islamist clerics and activists have been judged to be fine additions. Islamist Watch, a project of the Middle East Forum, has put together a small dossier of the worst of these speakers.
Among them is Indonesian imam Shamsi Ali, who has received international praise for his interfaith work. Ali has styled himself as an interfaith advocate in the US — all the while posting very different views, written in Indonesian, on his social media accounts.
Ali has written that “Jews are working to destroy Islam and the Ummah [the worldwide Muslim community],” and has expressed “respect for the fighting spirit of Hamas.” He has also attacked the West’s acceptance of homosexuality, lamenting that Muslims who oppose it are “considered to be against human rights and freedom as well.”
ISNA also invited Hussain Kamani, an American-born instructor at the Qalam Institute, who has endorsed sex slavery. In a talk, Kamani explained that Muslim men may fulfill any sexual desires “with a female slave that belongs to him.” According to Kamani, “those who commit adultery or have sex outside of marriage” must be “stoned to death.” Kamani views Western society as “filth. … We are surrounded by filth … our environment is full of this filth, everywhere we turn.”
There are many more examples in the dossier produced by Islamist Watch. And they include ISNA’s own officials. ISNA stalwart (and former president) Muzammil Siddiqui, for example, has expressed support for laws in countries that punish homosexuality with death.
And ISNA’s current Vice-President, Pervez Nasim, recently approvingly posted a video on his social media of an interview with Ken O’Keefe, a prominent antisemitic conspiracy theorist and Holocaust denier.
In the video, O’Keefe discusses the “so called Holocaust” and angrily asks why “we can’t even talk about Jewish control of the mainstream media.” He accuses Mossad agents of having foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks, and insists that the US government is “owned by the Jewish state.” Nasim himself has also stated that “victims and survivors of Holocaust are fast losing sympathy,” and that, unlike in Gaza, “at least in Nazi concentration camps there was plenty of water and electricity!”…
Cherie says
Didnt this same group have a conference in MN? All under cover, secretly without media coverage
so citizens weren’t aware of what was taking place.
Jean Terry says
I have trouble understanding the politically correct attitude of endorsing radical Muslims and rejecting those who are not radical and want mutual understanding. This kind of thing can lead to disaster. It builds and builds and is ignored until disaster strikes.
RonaldB says
Always happy to explain.
As a Muslim Brotherhood front, the ISNA is not interested in reconciling with different religions, but in dominating them and instituting sharia rule over the US. Their tactics depend on how far along they are towards this objective. When they’re trying infiltration through the cloak of respectability, they promote interfaith events. For example, in 2007 a very confused president of the Union for Reform Judaism spoke at an ISNA convention.
http://www.isna.net/children-of-abraham-jews-and-muslims-in-conversation/
The Union for Reform Judaism is still confused, but not so confused that they haven’t scrubbed most mention of the love-fest with ISNA off their website.
My guess is that the Muslim Brotherhood leadership no longer sees it as tactically beneficial to have any connection with Jews, so Muslims like Wajahat Ali, who doesn’t seem to have gotten the word, are simply excluded.
Slightly OT, I hope the FBI can spare a few agents from combing through Trump campaign phone wiretap transcripts to keep an eye on this convention.
jule says
Surely they must be. Don’t scare me. Can they all possibly be so dumb? They can’t be , can they?
A problem is, they keep one on the radar, kind of, for years and years until they do something to slip up. I do not want to be around when that happens. I am not racist. I love multi cultural. I am not antiSemitic. That is why I want Islam,nazigroups, KKKLan banned because it is a total MISCONCEPTION that we protect or allow them who would hurt us. Their Agenda is against us, what our country stands for and our Constitution. Why the misconception? I don’t understand how people can be so illogical as to say…’oh, they can be here, its a free country.’ Thats WRONG. Because their agenda is to destroy our free country. All of them: Nazigroups, KKKlan, white Supremacists, ISLAM. GET THEM OUT SO WE CAN BREATH FREE.
jule says
Another thing I wish our religious folk would consider, especially Evangelicals, is that when they fight for more say so in our government and laws over people, They open the door WIDE WITH WELCOME for all religion including Islam. its too dangerous right now for them to be loud mouths as they are against gays or trans or EVEN RoevsWade because they get one inch and then the Muslims WIll Stamped. Please don’t do it right now. Somehow, we have to make it like Muslims maybe could stay but the Qur’an/Hadiths with its threats and calls for violence CANNOT be here. Free Speech does not Cover or protect THAT. Would they protect a Hitler holding weekly meetings and making plans? In USA? Its time to face reality and Stand by what we are. A place where groups cannot threaten or plan violence against others ‘legally’. We should not be afraid to SAY it our loud.
So that goes foe real racists KKKlan, white Supremacists, Nazigroups, ISLAM. This country must PROTECT US and now it is not doing it. (although it is changing somewhat. Not nearly enough) Where are our lawyers protecting Speech by SUING for slanders, libels, threats, fighten words, conspiracies to overcome our government? Why are they not doing their Job. Even Religions cannot break our laws!
jule says
What I mean is that with teaching a Qur’an/Hadiths being illegal. like planning for a holocaust is illegal, maybe they will LEAVE to places that allow their plans for holocaust. We Cannot have it here.
J D S says
“Islam IS what IS is, Fake News!” and ISNA is just a tentacle of the Muslim Brotherhood. They will just produce more hate speech at this conference in Houston…..Free speech for a religion that promotes the hatred that Islam does should, in itself, be enough for the government’s of the world, to take necessary action to curb the Islamic movement of recent times. Is it actually going to take a Civil War and bloody streets to accomplish what laws on the books and new passed laws could do.
Cowards one and all are our elected officials for not seeing that Islam should NOT be allowed to fall under the freedom of religion part if our constitution…None of others who are classified as religions have the violent tentacles as does Islam..To my way of thinking Islam should never have been given these freedoms. Am I the only one who sees this? Our politicians sure don’t see it.
jule says
In Calif. there is a law, Penal Code 422 pc which defines threats to others, either verbal, written or by electronic communication as CRIMES, as either misd. or Feony depending… whether one has the ability to carry it out or not. If it brings actual or reasonable fear to another or group, whether it is made to one or many on more than one occasion, there can be a charge from everyone threatened. First misd. may be a year, felony 4 years and after 3 strikes of felony..25 years. We should bring the whole Qur’an, all of it, not cherry pick and every Imam who reads from it in Mosques or any meetings, in schools etc as Allah’s true words to Muslims, forever unchanging, to court FOR sure or /also get a petition for everyone who feels threatened from reading it to court…Somehow. Many States have similar laws against striking terror into the hearts of anyone…Actual one time fear, Reasonable fear, or sustained fear from unchanging supposed Words of Allah for Muslims against others, not as self defense but for Supersupremacy of Muslims over all others as Allah’s Words for all time forever. It is a THREAT and it is not just historical, imagined, not racist, not Islamophobia but it IS Islam and Quranic/Hadiths. Any JUST Court who would have to read the whole book would have to Defend non Muslims against this conspiracy to Control. Any Just Court…any Reasonable jury. any person of the law, actually any free Government, if they are honest and not influenced by Money, lobbies, Mutinationals etc…but there seems to be the block.
gravenimage says
Yes–I believe in unfettered freedom of speech–even things I very much disagree with, *except* for direct calls to violence, which should not be protected speech.
RonaldB says
My first thought is that if you make incitement of fear through speech a crime, you’ll be making a crime on the basis of how some people feel, rather than on what people actually do. Looking ahead, you can anticipate millions of petitions from Muslims talking about the dire effects of “Islamophobia” on their mental well-being.
Actual incitement to violence, with the purpose of motivating some people to attack others, is already illegal.
The biggest danger of Muslims right now is infiltration of Muslims into government processes, and political bodies. Part of the results of this infiltration is increased Muslim immigration. The terror acts are the frosting on the cake for the Muslims: not really necessary for the ultimate achievement, but a nice touch.
According the “The Quoranic Concept of War” by Malik, the purpose of terrorizing the population is to demoralize them by convincing them that their present government is unable to protect them.The government becomes progressively paralyzed as the number of Muslims voting increases, and the political influence of the many Muslim organizations (mostly Muslim Brotherhood fronts) expands. For example, the Russian intelligence warned the FBI several times of the danger of the Tsarnaev brothers. The FBI interviewed them several times and decided they were not a threat…or at least not enough of a threat to warrant risking the displeasure of the Muslim sympathizers in the US government.
Along that line, recall that before the 9/11 bombings, the CIA had an actual hard drive with pretty good information in the hijackers before the actual hijacking. Because of a ruling by Justice Department Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick, the CIA was forbidden to transfer their knowledge to the FBI and thereby possibly stop the 9/11 attacks. And yes, this is the same Jamie Gorelick who is now a personal attorney for Trump adviser and confident, Ivanka Trump. Gorelick, from what I see, was named “Lawyer of the Year” for 2018. Way to go, Jamie. Perhaps we’ll be able to top the 3,000 death count in our future endeavors.
Chaz says
A lot of folks on here better wake up. Read the Koran and study it. Then you’ll understand a lot about what is really going on. Scenario: I’m in Columbus, Oh and a guy(muslim) just stabbed 3 people to death yelling death to Americans and I intervene(Cau) and I try to apprehend him, then 5 Somalis come running toward us. Will they help me? NO they will all beat my ass. It won’t make any difference to them, what he did or how radical he is. I’m a white guy wrestling one of their people. It’s nature to take up for your own. Rolls reversed, the same thing would happen. So don’t think all muslims will be peaceful, when other muslims are involved.
jayell says
The default position for islam is NOT ‘peace’ except when they’re imposing their own idea of ‘peace’ on all and sundry. All muslims know this, which would explain why they NEVER show proper respect for anyone else – otherwise they would be models of polite good manners, co-operation and honesty, would defer to local sensibilities and customs rather than aggressively assert themselves when they are well aware that they are causing offence, and would not indulge shamelessly in crime without some kind of collective apology or remorse, or other recognition of responsibility. They’re clearly none of that since they know full well that islam entitles them to speak and behave as they do. If they were ‘good’ people they would not wish to demonstrate or associate themselves with these attitudes and would reject the ‘philosophy’ that promotes it all. They don’t. Instead, they continue to proclaim themselves ‘proud muslims’ with all that entails. So they’re most certainly NOT ‘good people’, they have no place in civilised society, and they know it!
gravenimage says
This would indeed likely be the case, Chaz.
underbed cat says
The diversity goals and foolish hate speech standards tie they hands of major corporations….and companies know they could not refuse this meeting even if they knew the goals of this organization. The best we could hope for is that someone was seated in the room who would not be unaware of the words and the meanings of the words in regards to plans of the organization and could gather some intelligence. Problem is would the FBI recognize it.
IQ al Rassooli says
Muslims will always use our FREEDOM to destroy us with it. Muslims are not at fault since they are only obeying the dictates of Allah, their god. The fault lies with the criminal Americans who allow these treacherous creatures residence in the USA.
Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and ALL these Muslims joining the political system in the USA will swear allegiance on Muhammad’s Quran NOT the Bible (just like Keith Ellison) hence they will all swear allegiance to SHARIA
Whenever Muslims are caught in their usual acts of violence, depravity or deception, they claim ‘anti Islam Hate’ when in Fact and in Reality they are systematically undermining Western societies using our rules of law against us
For those Americans, Europeans and others who still do not or are unwilling to understand Muslims and Islam, let me enlighten you in very short but deadly un challengeable conclusions:
1. No Muslim can ever be BOTH a Good Muslim and a Loyal citizen among non Muslims/ Kuffar/ Infidels (just watch what is happening in every European country that invited Muslims as well as in the USA)
2. Because Muslims follow Allah’s Sharia, every Muslim is automatically the Eternal and Mortal ENEMY of every human being who is NOT a Muslim (80% of current humanity). Sharia is the NEMESIS of the US Constitution and of ALL Western rules of law.
3. Since Allah is NOT God (NOT the same as the God of the Bible), Islam is therefore NOT a Religion but a Cult belief system; the Cult of Muhammad
Therefore, as much as it may sound outrageous, nonetheless based entirely upon their own beliefs, NO Muslim should ever be allowed to hold any position in Western democracies because the intention of every single Muslim as mandated in their Quran is to have ALL of humanity either Submit to Sharia or be EXTERMINATED
$100,00 says there is not a single human being on planet Earth who can prove me WRONG!
Any challengers willing to lose $100,000 when they fail?

mortimer says
Agree with IQ. Islam is most certainly a CULT by every definition of “CULT”. The most salient feature of CULTS is their INABILITY to allow DISCUSSION about or CHALLENGES to their CULTIC TEACHINGS.
None of Islam’s cultic excesses may be discussed without incurring the Islamic DEATH ¨PENALTY!
Islam is in fact 22 CULTS IN ONE!
-a death cult, a rape cult, an honor-killing cult, an extortion cult, a plunder cult, a censorship cult, a misogyny cult, a lie cult, a pedophilia cult, a sadomasochistic cult, an obsessive-compulsive cult, a supremacism cult, a Jew hatred cult, a Christianophobia cult, a male chauvinist cult, an inbreeding cult, an obscurantism cult, a superstition cult, a personality cult, a cruelty to animals cult, a group-think cult, a suicide cult.
Michael Copeland says
“Peace be upon you , O Prophet” is one of the prayers muslims recite.
David Wood asks:
“If muslims around the world over and over again day after day talk to Mohammed in their prayers what attribute would Mohammed need to have in order to hear them?”

boakai ngombu says
and Hilton should hear that at this conference there is not a word to be heard about law and order for the common good;
nothing is to be suggested that will quell the constant rage of the jihadi nor quiet the complaints of the subjugated women, as the ummah seeks a place somewhat like thorns of the cactus invade a peaceful walk;
and that the Arabic is disturbing, even at interfaith events
one big planning session for subversion and continued war this will be in the breakout sessions, making Hilton an accessory?
jule says
It seems to me like Islam acts like teen (and adult) addicted war game players. they play night and day and have trouble stopping to eat. This holy war is their Life. Never do they stop plotting and thinking up new ways to jihad. They are completely addicted and driven to be heroes in their gory sense.They are more organized than we know. Do our FBI/CIA/Military really know how they are and what they are doing? I just don’t think so and it scares me how dumb we seem. I hope its really all more aware than they tell us.

overman says
True mortimer. Muslims are Spiritually lgnorant. They need to be de-hypnotized from a lifetime of brainwashing. Not easy, when, as you say, TAQIYYA is so widespread.
lt seems that every film or tv show depicting muslims, is constantly spreading lslamic lies.
Only tonight, l was watching ‘Jack Ryan’. There’s a CIA chief who is a muslim and he quotes the prophet in ep. 8 (below). What he fails to explain is that muhammed was not (imo) talking about non-muslims when using the word BROTHER.
“No man is a true believer unless he desires for his brother that, what he desires for himself.”
mortimer says
overman, start by fixing every Muslim firmly with your gaze. Without saying anything at all, look them DIRECTLY IN THE EYES.
You will see a lot are TERRIBLY AFRAID. They already know they are losing.
Prophecy says
Mortimer, my experience has been quite the opposite, especially with the imams preaching on the streets of Toronto. I’m sure some Muslims are as you say “terribly afraid” but that hasn’t been my experience to date.

Sorry but acting like nazigroups RUINS it for majority of people who are not racist and not anti multicultural but understand Islam enough to want it banned from this country. NO Legal group or normal people will ever side with a nazitype after the World Wars. Not even Putin will side with a nazitroop. If we lose this war on all of us that Islam declares, it will just as much the nazitypes Fault as it is the ignorant ‘tolerant’ left. DON”T RUIN IT FOR US.
