FrontPage magazine.com :: Hometown Jihad: The School Gym that Terror Built by Patrick Poole
Siraj Wahhaj, a Brooklyn, NY imam, says that he isn’t convinced Osama bin Laden was behind 9/11. He was named by US Attorney Mary Jo White as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993
World Trade Center bombing. He served as a defense character witness for blind hate sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman in the trial for that act of terrorism that anticipated the horror of 9/11. He says that Muslims should appoint their own emir (leader) and take over America and install the Islamic caliphate. And he serves on the advisory board for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), both of which were just named by federal prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirators in a current HAMAS terrorism financing trial in Texas (see my article, “CAIR Fingered by Feds”).
And when Sunrise Academy (the only full-time Islamic school in Central Ohio), located in my hometown of Hilliard, Ohio, needed to raise money in March 2006 to build a sports complex for their school, they turned to Wahhaj for help. His financial appeal was so successful they invited him back in February of this year for yet another school fundraiser.
Regular FrontPage readers might remember Sunrise Academy as the operational hub for Muslim Brotherhood political analyst, international HAMAS promoter, notorious anti-Jewish ideologue, 9/11 conspiracy theorist, and protégé of “Theologian of Terror” Youssef al-Qaradawi, my Hilliard neighbor Dr. Salah Sultan, who has been the subject of five previous articles in my “Hometown Jihad” series here at FrontPage:
