President Obama is visiting a mosque today, namely the Islamic Society of Baltimore. His purpose? In the White House’s own words, to “celebrate the contributions Muslim Americans make to our nation and
reaffirm the importance of religious freedom to our way of life.”
I
guess those “contributions” must include support for terrorist groups, because
the Islamic Society of Baltimore has a record of that:
An imam who served at ISB for a total of 15 years
has also been a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood network and has worked
for an Islamic relief group that was designated as a terrorist organization by
the Treasury Department in 2004. Mohammad Adam el-Sheikh, who served two stints
as ISB’s imam, from 1983 to 1989 and from 1994 to 2003, was a member of the
Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan in the 1970s. He also co-founded the Muslim
American Society, a Falls Church, Va.-based group that is controlled by the
Muslim Brotherhood.
While in Baltimore, el-Sheikh served as a regional
director for the Islamic American Relief Agency. That group’s parent
organization is the Islamic African Relief Agency, which the Treasury
Department says provided funds to Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda, Hamas and other
terrorist organizations.
I will try to be charitable
– it’s the Pre-Lent season after all – and say this shows egregious
incompetence and sloppiness on the part of the Obama Administration. After all, there are mosques in the
United States that do not support terrorism. Could the President and his people not find one?
But is it not strange that
again and again the decisions of this non-Muslim
President enable Islamic terror?
The Obama Administration cheerleaded the Muslim Brotherhood coming to
power in Egypt. It supported
taking Qaddafi out in Libya, creating a power vacuum terrorists walked right
into. It withdrew us completely
from Iraq, creating a vacuum ISIS walked right into. It let right on in the San Bernardino terrorists. It turned full on the money spigot to
Iran.
His visiting a mosque notorious for supporting terrorist groups is just the cherry on top.
Like I said, charity calls
for saying this is all just incompetence – horrible, destructive incompetence,
but incompetence nonetheless.
But if he had a soft spot
for Islamic terrorism, would he be acting any differently?
