The Muslim Brotherhood’s “Grand Jihad” in Toledo

From FrontPageMagazine.com we hear that it might only be the shores of Lake Erie, but the Muslim Brotherhood has established an invasion beachhead in Toledo. A summary of disturbing details follows:

• The most recent landing by the international Islamic extremist organization was last weekend when the Muslim American Society (MAS) – the ideological arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the US, identified as such by the U.S. Department of Justice in a court filing back in December – held a conference at the University of Toledo.
• Perhaps it’s no coincidence that the Department of Homeland Security recently added Toledo to the list of high-risk terrorism areas.
• Among the speakers at the Toledo shindig were national MAS leaders Esam Omeish and Mahdi Bray, respectively the MAS president and the head of the Virginia Commission on Immigration.
• According to a September 28, 2007 article in the Washington Post, Omeish was forced out of the Commission when a video surfaced showing him preaching holy war against Israel at a December 22, 2000, Jerusalem Day rally in Washington D.C., where he said: “...you have learned the way, you have known that the jihad way is the way to liberate your land...and we shall do everything we can to help your cause.”
• Here’s the video with Omeish’s remarks. (The full speech video is here; all videos courtesy of the Investigative Project.) Another video shows him congratulating Palestinian terrorists for “giving up their lives for the sake of Allah.”
• Upon learning of Omeish's exhortations for jihad and his endorsement of suicide bombings, Virginia legislators quickly lined up calling for his resignation from the Virginia Commission on Immigration.
• Mahdi Bray, on the other hand, flew to Toledo from Egypt, where he had appeared earlier in the week at a rally defending jailed members of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood. An article at the Muslim Brotherhood website hails Mahdi Bray as “A Strong Voice for Human Rights.”
• On May 15, 2004, Bray also bestowed terrorist leader Abdurahman Alamoudi with an MAS Freedom Foundation award in abstentia as he was awaiting trial on terrorism charges (which he would later be convicted of and sentenced to 20 years in prison). Bray called him an “outstanding American Muslim who has courageously stood in defense of freedom and justice,” and vowed, “I don't care what they say, we're gonna continue to work with him, and the other detainees, Abdelrahim, and we are gonna continue to fight back. Let our people go! Let our people go!”
• Bray’s enthusiasm for Abdurahman Alamoudi goes back many years. At an October 2000 rally in Lafayette Park across from the White House, Bray can be seen standing beside Alamoudi enthusiastically cheering his friend and compatriot, as he in turn cheers the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist organizations.

Our Take

Another disturbing development in a long string of same. We need to pay careful attention to groups like the Muslim American Society that use our own hard-won liberties against us. Such is the work of devious enemies and such is the work at hand in Toledo.
