AMERICAN BIKERS UNITE AGAINST JIHAD-Via Their Ride For National Security On May 15 Through Islamberg, NY-Stirs Dishonest Press, Creates Climate of Hate & Fear. To What End? Commentary By Adina Kutnicki
American Bikers United Against Jihad (ABUAJ) responds to
four biased hit pieces about it and its ride by the radical left-wing
newspaper, The Daily Star
BY LISA MICHELLE —
Apparently, The Daily Star
is more intent on manipulating the public view with a sensational,
skewed narrative that breeds hate, hostility, discord, and unwarranted
fear than it is on reporting the truth. While the second and third are
more provocative than the first and the last, its April 4, 2016 article,
“Biker Group Plans Rally Against Local Muslims,” April 12, 2016 oped, “In Our Opinion: Islamberg Deserves Our Support,” by an unidentified author, May 1, 2016 report, “Islamberg Spokesman: Stand Up Against Hate,” and May 6, 2016 story, “Local Police Brace for Biker Rally at Muslim Hamlet,” about our group, “American Bikers United Against Jihad” (ABUAJ), read more like hit pieces than news. Caution: You have just entered the Twilight Zone . . .By turning reality on its head and brandishing ABUAJ— an educational,
humanitarian group of concerned patriotic Americans from all walks of
life that strives to raise public awareness about the very real threat
of terrorist cells and jihad in our country — as the arbitrator of hate,
public attention and scrutiny are diverted away from the real cause and
threat, the true victims of violence and hate are easily silenced and
dismissed, and the genuine sources of violence and hate emerge as both
victors and victims, while risking the safety and lives of all
Americans. As purveyors of biased misinformation, hate, propaganda, and fear,
rather than information and facts, the media, by and large, represents
one of the greatest security threats we currently face in Western
society. Such is the case with The Daily Star, a daily morning
newspaper based out of Oneonta, New York, which has painted our group
with broad sweeping strokes that warp the public’s view of reality to
the extent that we as the messenger have become the news, the story
itself, and the target of its attack. Like MOA, Jamaat ul-Fuqra (or “Community of the Impoverished”) was
founded by the terrorist and Pakistani cleric Sheikh Syed Mubarak Ali
Shah Gilani (aka “Jilani”), who the American journalist Daniel Pearl attempted to interview in Pakistan before he was abducted and later beheaded in 2002. Although he has vehemently and repeatedly denied any connection to it, he is irrefutably identified as the founder and leader of Jamaat ul-Fuqra in Appendix B of the 1999 U.S. Department of State report, Patterns of Global Terrorism,
which describes it as a terrorist organization that “seeks to purify
Islam through violence” and has ties to numerous terrorist cells located
in North America and the Caribbean. Its members refer to themselves as
“Soldiers of Allah.”Our initial contact with The Daily Star was with its staff writer Joe Mahoney, who emailed us for details about our May 15th “Ride for National Security” passedIslamberg, a 70-acre Muslim enclave or “settlement” in the Catskill Mountains of Hancock, New York. Headquarters to the Muslims of the Americas (MOA), it was the first of between 22 to 35 of its kind to operate under that umbrella in the U.S. It is also the headquarters of the International Qur’anic Open University (IQOU) and the United Muslim Christian Forum. By many accounts, the group is linked to the terrorist organizationJamaat ul-Fuqra in Pakistan (see here, here, here,here, here, here,here,here,here, here, here, here, here, here, andhere, to name just of few of many additional sources). Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani,
head of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, a terrorist organization that goes by the name
of Muslims of the Americas | The Clarion ProjectThe report also links members of Jamaat ul-Fuqra to the purchase of
isolated “rural compounds” in North America, to dozens of terrorist acts
against those who they regard as enemies of Islam — including Muslim
apostates and Hindus — and cites that U.S. members have been “convicted
of crimes, including murder and fraud.” Other reports link ul-Fuqra and
Gilani to a “network of 45 paramilitary training camps in the US and
Canada,” as well as to Al Qaeda (see hereand here). None of this is addressed in The Daily Star’s four pieces about us and our ride. Nor is the fact that numerous think-tank and watchdog organizations — such as The Clarion Project and the Anti Defamation League (ADL) — have designated MOA as an extremist and a virulentlyanti-Semitic, anti-Christian, anti-American, and homophobic front group for the Islamic terrorist organization Jamaat ul-Fuqra, whose leader and members, in their own words, have promoted violenceagainst these other groups (also see here,here, here, and here). Instead, The Daily Star asserts the position to stand by the
members of MOA at Islamberg, which is a mantra repeated again and again
like a line of refrain from a poem, in “Islamberg Deserves Our
Support,” its oped that oddly neglects to disclose the author:
We stand with Islamberg. This is the message we would like American Bikers United Against
Jihad to hear on May 15, if they bring their message of hate to the
local area during what they are calling a ‘Ride for National Security.’ We do not stand with these people. We stand with Islamberg. . . .
In attempting to silence discourse and advocacy for political action, The Daily Startakes
an isolated incident against MOA members at Islamberg to portray them
as victims and to unfairly pigeonhole ABUAJ as haters, when nothing is
further than the truth. This is first conveyed by Mahoney’s following
email to us but repeated again in all of The Daily Star’s pieces about us.
To organizer(s) of the May 15 event near Islamberg — I am a reporter for The Daily Star newspaper in Oneonta, NY. Delaware
County falls within our coverage area. I recently learned of the “Ride
for National Security” event planned for May 15. Is there a representative of your group whom I could interview? Please provide me with a telephone contact, or call me at the number below. Also, please provide me with any estimates you may have of the number
of people planning to attend, and whether you have heard from any law
enforcement entities [sic] regarding the plans. I have also covered very recent litigation [sic] by
Muslims of America against Robert Doggart et al. If you would like to
comment on that, we culd [sic] discuss that as well. [Emphases added] Thank you, Joseph Mahoney The Daily Star Oneonta, NY
At first glance, it appears rather straightforward and benign, but we
were immediately struck when we reached Mahoney’s last two lines about
Robert Doggart as a glaring red flag of his own possible bias. For those unfamiliar with Doggart, he ran for Tennessee’s fourth U.S.
congressional district in 2014 as an independent candidate. He was
later arrested in May of 2015 and indicted by a federal grand jury in July of 2015 for plotting to burn down buildings and kill Muslims in Islamberg, New York. As we explicitly stressed to Mahoney in our emailed response below,
there is absolutely no association between ABUAJ, the “criminal” case
and conduct of Robert Doggart, and the purpose of our Ride for National
Security passed Islamberg.
Dear Mr. Mahoney, It immediately concerned us that you referenced the Robert Doggart
et. al matter, when there is absolutely no comparable parallel between
our peaceful objective for the ride and his criminal conduct. We have
been extremely clear in our promotion of the ride that our sole purpose
is educational only, and we do not condone infringing upon anyone’s
rights whatsoever. While we are more than glad to speak to you about our ride, we would
appreciate your objectivity, journalist integrity, and assurance that
you have not already cast us in the same negative light as was warranted
by Robert Doggart’s actions. We look forward to your response. Sincerely, Ram, Co-founder ABUAJ
Our effort was of little consequence. Although he went through the
motions to contact both sides for a seemingly “balanced” approach, it is
abundantly clear that Mr. Mahoney, who never replied, had little
interest in communicating with us beyond our initial exchange. Nor has
he shown a particular interest in reporting our comments with the
objectivity, intellectual honesty, and journalistic integrity that we
had requested from him. That same day, April 4 (and without our consent to publish our email
to him), Mahoney took creative liberty to exploit our message and intent
and released his piece, “Biker Group Plans Rally Against Local Muslims.”
Similarly, on May 6, 2016 he sent us the following email requesting our
comments for another “news” story that he purportedly was still in the
throws of “preparing” but had not yet sent to press. The Problem with Mahoney’s request is that The Daily Star specifically promotesitself
as a “daily morning newspaper,” but he asked us for our comments at
3:42 p.m. on May 6, presumably after his story already was printed. For
this reason, we were slightly put off when we read in his piece that
“[a] representative of American Bikers United Against Jihad did not
respond to an email request from The Daily Star for comment on this
story.” Neither did he to us. The next day, May 7, 2016, we followed up with the email below to inquire about Mahoney’s deadline for press. It is no wonder Mahoney failed to respond. Nor is his somewhat alarming title, “Local Police Brace for Biker Rally at Muslim Hamlet,” which he clarifies when he explains that police will be braced for potential problems from traffic but not for “public safety concerns.”
The organizers of the event,” Mahoney writes, “have been
using Facebook and YouTube to spread information about the ride. Their
postings repeat unsubstantiated reports by the Christian Action Network,
a right-wing group, that residents of Islamberg and other Muslim
settlements in this country are poised to wage ‘violent jihad against
innocent Americans.’”
Does Mahoney even bother to fact check his sources, or does he rely
solely upon the opinions and comments he requests by email but sometimes
fails to obtain? The April 12th oped is even further reaching when it states that
ABUAJ’s claims are “tired” and derived from “arch-conservative videos
and articles found online.” Does the fact that information may or may
not be obtained from a conservative source or the “far-right-wing
media,” as the oped implies, make it any less true and
substantive?Mahoney’s statements above regurgitate the same talking
points that are espoused by MOA and the April 12th oped. By labeling and
demonizing the Christian Action Network (CAN) a “right-wing group,” he
reduces our national security to no more than a partisan issue and
discredits the veracity of our sourced information but without
supporting his own claims with sourced information himself. This is an
insult to our intelligence, as well as to his readers, and a typical
tactic employed by the radical left-wing press (a term we use
flippantly here to stress the flagrant hypocrisy) to marginalize and
silence the truth. It is also discriminatory, hateful, and tremendously
shoddy, irresponsible journalism that misleads the public with false
information that could imperil the safety of the public he is supposed
to serve and begs the question: What standard does Mahoney apply to
substantiate his own reports? “And it is our hope,” the oped contends, while lodging what could be perceived as a veiled threat at our group,
that anyone else who stands with Islamberg will be
waiting for the American Bikers United Against Jihad when their ‘Ride
for National Security’ pulls up to the gates of the hamlet. It is our hope that this protest against what can only be described
as a peaceful enclave is greeted with a counter-protest demonstrating
that the people of our area, particularly those in Hancock and Deposit,
stand with Islamberg. There is still some good that could come from this whole thing. If
the riders who might travel to Delaware County in May have the
opportunity to see for themselves that Islamberg is not the bogeyman
depicted by the far-right-wing media, perhaps they will leave with a
more enlightened view of the whole thing.
Are the FBI and State and Justice Departments far right-wing,
arch-conservative sources, since there is an abundance of primary source
records from them that substantiates both CAN’s and our reports, but The Daily Star must not have bothered to check first. Of course, the best defense is always a better offense, as is exhibited in a 2013 MOA propaganda video, Targeting Islam and Muslims in America,
which accuses “front organizations” for Israel (a code word for Jews)
— such as Martin Mawyer’s organization CAN and the Klu Klux Klan — of
of spreading “Islamophobia” and conspiring to destroy Muslims, among
other things.
It is also plausible to surmise that Mahoney’s false portrayal of us
has unduly provoked the involvement of the NAACP, which will be busing
protesters from Oneonta to Islamberg for our ride. According to Mahoney,
a retired political science professor at the State University College
at Oneonta, has been “working with the Oneonta chapter of the NAACP in
countering the biker [ABUAJ’s] rally.” This is further elaborated upon in The Daily Star’s May 1, 2016 “news” story, “Islamberg Spokesman: Stand Up Against Hate,”
by Jessica Reynolds, who reported on an event that was held at the
Unitarian Universalist Society in Oneonta and hosted by officials of the
local chapter of the NAACP to “dispel” misconceptions about MOA and
“show support for area Muslims.” Unlike Mahoney, she never approached us
for comments, but — quoting Rashid (“Carl”) Clark, the mayor of the
Muslim enclave, Islamberg, and the statements of NAACP officials —
Reynolds echoes the same “tired” details about Doggart and unfounded
claims about us and our ride . . .
The biker group has asserted that Islamberg is a training
site for those aspiring to wage jihad, and says the rally is intended
to be ‘educational.’ But people should not be singled out and targeted for who they are or
what they believe in, according to Regina Betts, vice president of
Oneonta’s chapter of the NAACP. Because of this, Betts said, plans are
in the works for area supporters to assemble alongside members of
Islamberg on May 15 so that the bikers will see a peaceful and united
front as they drive by. ‘We’re doing this in order to assure our neighbors in Islamberg that
we are not going to be silent, and that we are not going to tolerate
hatred,’ Betts told the audience. ‘The main thing is that we fight
discrimination and that we do it peacefully.’ […] ‘There are more children than there are adults on Islamberg,’ Clark
told the audience Sunday. ‘So when people [like Doggart] threaten to
come and chop us up with machetes, they’re mainly threatening children.
…On May 15, when the bikers claim they’re going to drive by, we hope to
stand against hate.'”
It is important to note that our ride is not a “rally” or “protest,” as it has been improperly dubbed by The Daily Star.
ABUAJ is comprised of law-abiding individual American bikers and
citizens — most of whom are parents, veterans, and professionals with
children, families, and jobs to uphold — and our message too is of peace
through national security. Mahoney, Reynolds, and, respectively, The Daily Star have unnecessarily put them at risk by stoking the flames of hate, anger, and fear with their own glaring bias and propaganda. Granted, Mahoney’s recent story is less inflammatory than his first, “Biker Group Plans Rally Against Local Muslims,”
but both essentially cover the same erroneous grounds, and he misleads
the public about the nature and goal of our ride by stating in both that
“[t]he group has been . . . billing [emphasis added] it as a ‘Ride for National Security.’” It first must be said that our group is not “against” Muslims, as the
above title denotes, which sets the overall tone, once again suggesting
Mahoney’s own inherent bias, not that of ABUAJ. Nowhere in any
promotions about our ride do we subscribe to this view, and we are not
merely “billing” it as a “Ride for National Security.” It is a ride for national security. Jamaat ul-Fuqra, which was removed from the U.S. State Department’s list of foreign terrorist groups after 2000, has been linked to dozens of murders, assassinations, and bombings across the U.S. and abroad, including the 1993 planned World Trade Center bombing, the shoe bomber Richard Reid, the convictedD.C. sniper John Allen Muhammad, and a hotel bombing in Portland, Oregon. Although the MOA compounds are not identified by name in the Patterns of Global Terrorism report, a 2005 Homeland Security report directly links it and its compounds to Jamaat ul-Fuqra. This was further confirmed during the 1993 trial of Glen Ford, an ul-Fuqra terrorist involved in a 1991 bomb plot in Canada who testified that Gilani convinced the U.S. branch to change its name to MOA. Similarly, a 2006 intelligence report
by the Regional Organized Crime Information Center (ROCIC), which was
funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, makes no distinction, stating
that Jamaat ul -Fuqra receives significant funding for terrorist
operations from MOA and its offshoot,IQOU, which, like MOA, was founded by Gilani as a U.S. nonprofit organization. As illustrated by the ROCIC report tables above (click on the link at the end of article for exhibits),
white-collar crimes, as well as drug trafficking of narcotics, are
major sources of revenue for Jamaat ul-Fuqra’s terrorist activities, and
front companies, such as Professional Securities International (PSI),
are established to launder and transfer funds to Jilani in Pakistan.When Gilani first formed Jamaat ul-Fuqra in 1980, he reportedly began
“preaching against Western culture” at Al-Farooq Mosque in Brooklyn,
New York, and “primarily targeted black American Muslim converts from
the inner city, mostly those with criminal backgrounds.” According to
the ROCIC report, there are currently at least 35 suspected Jamaat
ul-Fuqra communes with over 3,000 members throughout the U.S. Islamberg
in Hancock, New York, is identified as the first of them to be
established by Gilani and his American recruits. Their structure is
described as typical of “classically structured terrorist cells” and its
members as terrorist extremist — but more on this later and back to our
ride and Mahoney’s first hit piece on us . . .
Again, our May 15th Ride for National Security passed Islamberg is
not a “protest” or “rally,” as it has been falsely and unfairly dubbed
by The Daily Star. It is one of many other peaceful and lawful
methods that ABUAJ has chosen to educate the American public about the
ever-increasing threat of terrorism in America and abroad, and, in this
particular case, to proactively advocate for the State Department to
reclassify groups such as Jamaat al-Fuqra as foreign terrorist
organizations to safeguard our homeland and Americans of all stripes —
Muslims and non-Muslims included. To be fair, it would be remiss not to mention that Mahoney included
most of our initial email to him in his first story about our ride.
Nevertheless, by taking our statements out of the proper context —
juxtaposing them to his statements about Doggart, as is done in all four
of The Daily Star pieces about us — he has distorted our
genuine intentions, inflaming an undeserved climate of hate and fear.
His titles alone connote bias, conjuring pejorative stereotypical images
of American bikers and fueling the flames of animus for future
relations between us, the Hancock community, and American Muslims in
general. Obviously, our group and our ride are notagainst
Muslims, local or otherwise. Rather, we stand in solidarity with
American Muslims and non-Muslims alike against the very real threat of
terrorism, which is an issue that should concern and unite every
American. Mahoney later contends that the organizer of the ride “sought to put
distance between the organization and Doggart,” when, in reality, the
need to do so would not even be an issue if Mahoney did not bring up the
subject himself to begin with, most egregiously placing ABUAJ in the
same context and light as Doggart. Like the gift that keeps giving, it
is a theme that he and his newspaper resound each and every time the
topic crops up. Suffice it to say, Mahoney and his colleagues and
friends at The Daily Star seem to have had their own agenda in mind all along —
to instill in the people of Hancock, New York, a sense of unwarranted
fear with a fallacious, hate-filled message about ABUAJ and our ride and
with a veiled association between us and Doggart, when no such
connection exists. “Muslims of America,” Mahoney goes on to write in his first story,
“in announcing the lawsuit against Doggart, noted that 2015 was ‘a
violent year for American Muslims amid increased Islamophobia.’” No
doubt it was, but it had little to do with a rise in “Islamophobia.” While the statistical verdict is still out for 2015, the latest FBI hate crime statistics from
2014 show that the largest group of victims from religiously motivated
hate crimes was Jewish, making up 56.8 percent of the total victims
compared to 16.1 percent of religiously motivated crimes against Muslim
victims, which is a 40.7 percent difference. Unfortunately, MOA leaders
have a long, documented history of promoting such hate against Jews themselves (also seehere and here). This is aptly conveyed in a September 2002 MOA propaganda video,
which was written by Sheikh Gilani, produced by IQOU at Islamberg, New
York, and Directorate of Information of the MOA, and later obtained by The Clarion Project.
As depicted below, MOA accuses the “Zionist media” of “releasing a
reign of media terror to destroy the American Muslims” and of a
conspiracy to destroy the world.In other MOA and IQOU literature and
propaganda, which are documented in official law-enforcement reports,
the Jews are compared to “Satan,” and Gilani has been caught on film at
what was referred to in one official report as a “roundtable of
terrorists,” which included Osama Bin Laden, chanting “down, down with
the USA! Down, down with the CIA,” and “death to the Jews” (see here, here, and here for examples). The film now remains in the CIA’s possession as part of the dossier on bin Laden known as the “Alex File.” Either way, violent Islamic terrorist attacks against Muslims and
non-Muslims alike have risen exponentially throughout the world, and MOA
is correct to point out that Muslims make up the majority of its
victims. The National Counterterrorism Center found that in 2011 alone
Muslims themselves suffered between 82 and 97 percent of the fatalities
related to Islamic terrorism, but that figure is significantly higher
than recorded in most other and more recent reports (see here, here, and here).
Figures on Islamic terrorism against Muslims, or any other religious
group for that matter, are somewhat sketchy, since reporting methodologies
and data collection are generally based on news reports and aggregated
according to geographical regions and terrorist groups rather than by
religion. We also are in full agreement with Mahoney when he relays a March 21
statement by MOA, noting that “Muslims of America declared: ‘We must use
all legal means available to stop the terrorization of people based on
their faiths for any reason.'” This is precisely the same reason ABUAJ
is hosting a ride that focuses on national security — to improve upon
law enforcement’s ability to uphold and enforce our nation’s laws. In
fact, to assure the safety and peace of mind of everyone concerned — so
that no faith or group from either ABUAJ or the community of Hancock at
large feels the slightest bit threatened — we have been in direct
communication with the local New York State Police department, who will
be present during our ride passed Islamberg. Even before the second hit piece about us was released by The Daily Star,
we had already posted and promoted guidelines for our May 15th ride. As
is illustrated below, our ride is not a rally or protest but for
educational purposes only. ABUAJ will be riding passed Islamberg on a
public state road that runs perpendicular to Muslim Lane, where the
complex is located, but we will neither be stopping at its entrance nor
trespassing on its property. We have instructed all participants that
Islamberg is a private, gated commune and that women and children reside
there and to be mindful and respectful of that. Up to this point, Mahoney had a few validate points to make, but his argument goes sorely awry as he continues,
Muslims of America describes itself as a population of
primarily African American Sunni Muslims. the group says it has a long
history of fighting against disinformation about its activities. Following the assault on various sites in Paris last November, the
head of Muslims of America, Hussein Adams, issued a statement declaring
his group has no affiliation with the Islamic State and condemned its
activities. ‘Muslims are not terrorists, we are the No. 1 victims of terrorists,’ Adams said then. ‘Muslims are being slaughtered by these people who are perpetrating
their devastation in the name of Islam in order to instigate chaos in
the world. And yet, here at home in America, Islamophobes are wasting
time harassing American Muslims who have not harmed anyone. The American
Muslim community has co-existed here peacefully for decades.’
It is here where both Mahoney and the head of MOA,Hussein Adams —
as well as MOA’s Mayor, who Reynolds’ quotes in her story — begin to
whitewash some of the more painful realities of terrorism, jihad in
America, and the history of MOA itself, which we cannot overlook without
correcting the record. First, as noted above, we understand and agree that Muslims are the
primary victims of Islamic terrorism, which discredits the notion
proclaimed by MOA that Muslims are not terrorists. Second, ABUAJ never
once associated MOA with ISIS, which makes its above-quoted contention
an irrelevant, mute issue. Third, we reject the entire premise of
Islamophobia, which is akin to the pot calling the kettle black after
MOA’s long, sordid history of hatred towards other groups. In fact, MOA’s general counsel, Tahirah Amatul Wadud, was recently appointed to the board of the Massachusetts chapter of CAIR. As reported by Ryan Mauro, National Security Analyst for The Clarion Project,“Islamophobia” is a term that was first derived and promoted in the early 1990sby theInternational Institute for Islamic Thought (IIIT), a front group of the Muslim Brotherhood. As the think tank Discover the Networks explains in “Politics of ‘Islamophobia,’”
the term was expanded upon and promoted after 9/11 by groups such as
the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an unindicted
co-conspirator in the largest terrorist fundraising trial,U.S. v. Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development et al, in U.S. history and has been used “as a weaponto advance a totalitarian cause by stigmatizing critics and silencing them.” Its suffix, phobia,
connotes an unwarranted, exaggerated sense of fear, but, in this
instance, the realities of Islamic terrorism are not based on either
unfounded fear or the discrimination of Muslims.
Wadud reportedly posted
an article by MOA’s Pakistan-based leader, Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani,
on her Facebook claiming the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) is a puppet of
the British government and a Jewish conspiracy perpetrated the attacks
on Pearl Harbor and September 11, 2001 [sic] The Clarion Projectwas the first to report on the inflammatory article.” ‘There was no need for America to go to war against Hitler. Hitler
was not the enemy of America or the American people. There was a mutual
animosity between Hitler and the Jews. So, the American people paid a
very heavy price for fighting someone else’s war,’ Gilani wrote.
It is unconscionable that MOA — with a Judeophobicleader
who spews such inflammatory hatred, reducing the Holocaust to an
anti-Semitic Jewish conspiracy, which is based on his own hatred and
unrealistic fear of the Jewish people — would have the temerity to cast
stones, when its own counsel and representative parrots this type of
toxic venom at Jews. Our group, on the other hand, does not discriminate on the basis of
religion. The focus of our Ride for National Security passed Islamberg
is not against Muslims. It is about Islamic terrorism, and we are
against the actions of the individuals and groups who carry it out.
Needless to say, not all Muslims are terrorists, and our focus would be
exactly the same if Jamaat ul-Fuqra was a Nazi organization comprised of
mainly Christians, Buddhists, and Jewish members, white supremacist
members of the Klu Klux Klan, or, as it is in this case, Muslim members. As a matter a fact, over a dozen North American Muslim organizations joined The Clarion Project to urge the U.S. Department of State to designate Jamaat ul-Fuqra a foreign terrorist organization, stating,
As Muslims concerned about Islamist terrorism, we urge
the U.S. State Department to label the Pakistani militant group, Jamaat
ul-Fuqra, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. We are alarmed that this
group, operating under various names like Muslims of the Americas (MOA),
says it has 22 “Islamic villages” in the U.S. and Canada.
We stand in solidarity with them. If MOA has no connection to Jamaat
ul-Fuqra, as it has repeatedly claimed, it has no reason whatsoever to
feel harassed and discriminated against and should in fact welcome and
join our May 15th ride to designate it as a foreign terrorist
organization and stand in solidarity with us, The Clarion Project, and the other North American Muslim groups………..
continue reading at original PRESS RELEASE…..but its conclusion is cited below….. Unlike The Daily Star, our information is rooted in
primary-source evidence, not opinions and spin, that is based on
records, reports, and raw videotaped footage from decades-long research
and protracted investigations by counter-terrorist experts, the FBI, and
other U.S. law enforcement agencies. Yet, stunningly, it has taken an
anti-American stance against our national security to stand on the side
of Islamic terrorism under the fictitious banner of standing by MOA and
Islamberg but apparently not by the rest of the American people. In doing so, they have stirred a cauldron of unnecessary hate and
fear and would be all the wiser if in the future they did their due
diligence before defaming us and other groups with baseless comparisons,
libelous characterizations, and sensationalized “reports” that promote
themselves and sell papers but incite anger, hatred and discord and
frighten the public — perhaps most especially the women and children who
live at Islamberg in Hancock, New York.While proclaiming to stand
against hate, The Daily Star, its writers, and friends have
concocted a false narrative and taken aim against ABUAJ, portraying us
as a hate group to deligitimize us and our message and stifle political
discourse and action, as well to thwart our educational goal to raise
public awareness about the genuine modern-day threat that American
Muslims and non-Muslims face from homegrown Islamic terrorism. We welcome the American Muslim community to join us, stand by them
too, and help us in our educational mission for the safety and security
of all Americans.By contrast, we stand on the side of right in support
of The Clarion Project with over a dozen North American Muslim
organizations who also have called on the State Department to reclassify
Jamaat ul-Fuqra as a foreign terrorist organization. We stand with the
thousands of Muslims and non-Muslims, whose voices have been silenced in
large part by a dishonest, complicit left-wing press that seems more
intent on political correctness than it does on reporting accurate news
and upholding the safety and lives of innocent Americans.
