Secret Camp for the Mohammed Youth

FrontPage Magazine ran an article today about a five-day Moslem camp whose location is being kept a secret. The organization holding the camp, the Young Muslims, is an offshoot of an organization meant to emulate the militant Muslim Brotherhood of Pakistan. Before the atrocities of September 11,2001, this organization was calling similar events "jihad camps".

Normal parents send their children to camp for awhile so they can have fun. ("They" can refer to the kids or the parents, who doubtless enjoy having the kids out of their hair for awhile.) But apparently, Moslem parents send their kids to camp to listen to lectures. The article features a long litany of speakers who have no business being anywhere near children, if actually free in the United States during a time of war.

[O]ne [Young Muslim (YM) event] last April featuring Imam Sheik Riyadh ul-Haq, who, just two months later, was banned from entering Canada because his views could incite terror and hatred."

[In an] August 2004 camp ... one of the invited speakers, Mazen Mokhtar, had his house raided and his computers confiscated by the FBI. Mokhtar, currently the Youth Director for the New Jersey chapter of the Muslim American Society (MAS), prior to 9/11, created a mirror (replica) website of a site that raised funds and recruited terror fighters for Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. The site was also used as a portal to the official website of Hamas, a group that Mokhtar has called "heroic." He has also said he supports suicide bombings.

Mokhtar was an invitee to lecture at this year's camp, as well. The "confirmed" list of speakers [at this year's "camp"] are as follows:

• Siraj Wahhaj, the Imam of the Masjid At-Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn and an individual listed as a potential co-conspirator to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, who has stated about the United States in a taped sermon, "In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing. And the only thing that will remain will be Islam."
• Abdul Malik, the chaplain of the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority and former Office Manager of CAIR-New York, who likened President George W. Bush to a "slave master" and, in a speech entitled "Service to Society: The Key to Reformation," stated, "Assalam alaikum [crowd responds: "wa alaikum assalam"]. I look forward to hearing that one day in the White House, and then paint it black." And "... we don't want to democratize Islam, we want to Islamize democracy."
• Faisal Hamouda, who is a leading volunteer for Islamic Relief, a charity that Israel has named a front for Hamas.
• Nouman Ali Khan, a former representative of the Muslim Students Association (MSA), who, in February of 2005, gave a speech sponsored by the MSA of Hofstra University, entitled "Preparation for Death."
• Shamsi Ali, the Deputy Imam of the Islamic Cultural Center of New York and Director of the Jamaica Muslim Center, who was the moderator at a February 2006 demonstration against Danish cartoons of Muhammad held outside the Danish Consulate in Manhattan, where a poster was seen being waived which read, "Insult the Prophet, you will pay, Allah's wrath is on the way."
• Amin Abdul Latif, the President (Ameer) of Majlis Ashura of NYC in Brooklyn, who signed his name to an open letter to President Bush in support of Algeria's Islamic Salvation Front (FIS), the Islamist organization responsible for the creation of the terror group, the Armed Islamic Group (GIA).

Somehow, I don't think they're hiding out to avoid Jewish terrorists....
