The event is known as &#8220;the largest Islamic convention in the southwest.&#8221; The theme this year deals with &#8220;focusing on the family&#8221;, but as usual the speakers include known associates of convicted terrorists, terror supporters, and 9/11 skeptics.</p>
<p>In addition to the various seminars, some of them given by supporters of the most conservative brand of Sunni Islam, the event will also have a variety of carnival rides, including a petting zoo!</p>
<p>I think a &#8220;Focus on the Terror&#8221; theme would be far more appropriate given the current state of things around the world. What&#8217;s interesting about this year&#8217;s meeting of Islamic radicals in the U.S. is that an FBI agent will be a featured speaker. Special Agent Randall Clark who is a member of the &#8220;Cyber Crimes Task Force&#8221; will be at the convention to speak about child pornography. <em>Not</em> terrorism, but in fact <em>child pornography</em>.</p>
<p>Given that the Internet is a favorite recruiting tool for terrorists, lets just say it&#8217;s &#8220;odd&#8221; that child pornography is what the FBI chooses to discuss. I guess the Feds just wants everyone to be on the lookout for child porn when posting jihad videos and plotting terror attacks on message boards.</p>
<p><a href="http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/190315.php" target="_blank">The Jawa Report</a> has an ongoing list of expected speakers at the convention and who exactly they are:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Musa Maguire-</strong> The name may not sound familiar, but maybe you know his cousin &#8220;Sulayman&#8221;. Doesn&#8217;t ring a bell? Well maybe you&#8217;ll recognize his given name John Walker Lindh.  Musa Abdun Nur Maguire is best known for his defense of his cousin&#8217;s treason fighting for the Taliban.  He calls Lindh a &#8220;<a href="http://baltimore.indymedia.org/newswire/display/590/index.php">authentic American hero</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>To show you how screwed up our Federal government is, your tax money is subsidizing Musa: In 2004 he was the <a href="http://muslimmatters.org/2007/08/16/homegrown/">recipient of a Fulbright grant</a> to take K-12 teachers to the Middle East.  <a href="http://muslimmatters.org/2007/08/16/homegrown/">Read the post</a>, in it Musa describes how Salafis (who are the Sunni Islamists with the same political goals as al Qaeda) cured him of his extremism and how convicted jihadist Ismail Royer should get a Fulbright and not jail time.</p>
<p><strong>Imam Johari Abdul-Malik-</strong>  Abdul-Malik is the number one <a href="http://www.aliasad.org/mambo/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=61&amp;Itemid=32">fund raiser for the Ali Asad support committee</a> which is trying to free convicted terrorist Ali Asad Chandia. Chandia, a Maryland school teacher, was convicted of providing material support to the Lashkar-e-Taiba terror organization and assisted Ali al-Tamimi, the spiritual leader of the Virginia Jihad Network.</p>
<p>He is the imam of the Dar Al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Va, where convicted terrorist <a href="http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/cat_ahmed_omar_abu_ali.php">Ahmed Omar Abu Ali</a><a href="http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/069476.php">Rosa Parks of the Muslim community</a>&#8220;. worshiped. Abu Ali has admitted to meeting with Zubayr Al-Rimi, al Qaeda&#8217;s #2 man in Saudi Arabia while studying in Mecca. Malik was outraged at Omar Abu Ali&#8217;s prosecution for plotting to kill the President of the United States and once called him the &#8221;</p>
<p>Abdul Malik is most famous for his <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johari_Abdul-Malik">support of Hamas</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Salah As-Sawi-</strong>  Vice President of the Sharia Academy, the <a href="http://www.shariaacademy.com/introduction.php?#Goals">mission of which</a> is &#8220;to disseminate proper and authentic Islamic knowledge based on the principles of Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Jama’ah&#8221;. Longtime readers know that Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Jama’ah is what Salafists call their version of conservative Islamic law.</p>
<p>What they mean by it is that they are followers of &#8220;authentic&#8221; Islam, as understood by the first generation of followers of Mohammed. In other words, they want to return to a 7th century version of Islamic law. Generally you and I would call them &#8220;Wahabbis&#8221;, although they hate this term.</p>
<p>He is perhaps most notorious as a 9/11 skeptic and as the man who <a href="http://www.robert-fisk.com/refutation_of_fatwa_november2001.htm">penned a counter-fatwa</a> forbidding Muslims to join the U.S. military in any actions against the Taliban in Afghanistan. He claimed &#8220;the Jewish media&#8221; had rushed to blame Osama bin Laden for 9/11.</p>
<p><strong>Siraj Wahhaj-</strong> Formerly on CAIR&#8217;s advisory board and an possibly <a href="http://www.danielpipes.org/article/394">unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Bombings</a>. He denies he was ever on any list of unindicted co-conspirators, but bombing mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman (the &#8220;Blind Sheikh) was a <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/009249.php">regular speaker at Wahhaj&#8217;s At-Taqwa Mosque</a> in Brooklyn.  In addition, Wahhaj was a character witness in Rahman&#8217;s behalf at his terrorism trial.</p>
<p><strong>Rodney Clement Hampton-El, aka &#8220;Dr. Rashid&#8221;-</strong> an Afghan veteran (fought with the mujahideen) and the group&#8217;s &#8220;explosive expert&#8221;, was also a worshiper at Wahhaj&#8217;s mosque.</p></blockquote>
<p>The event will be held Dec. 21-24 and The Hot Joints may live blog the event. We will post further details after a decision has been reached.</p>
