Muslim leader with D.C. ties indicted
MSNBC ^ | October 24, 2003 | Lisa Myers and the NBC Investigative Team

Posted on 10/24/2003 9:17:07 PM PDT by tomball

....... " Abdurahman Alamoudi, a consultant to the Pentagon on the chaplain program for more than a decade, is now accused of helping Osama bin Laden and Hamas.  Court documents filed late Wednesday night claim Alamoudi has provided “financial support to Hamas” and “financial support to fronts for al-Qaida.”   One of the groups allegedly tied to Alamoudi is a charity that gave a Virginia post office as its address. Alamoudi was the charity’s vice president. Who founded it? Abdullah bin Laden, Osama bin Laden’s nephew.
 

Also ringing alarms: Alamoudi’s Palm Pilot, which the government claims included the names and numbers of six designated global terrorists.  Terrorism expert and NBC News analyst Steve Emerson said, “The public face of Mr. Alamoudi was 180 degrees different from the private face. And the private face clearly showed that he was involved or directed fund-raising for Hamas, fund-raising for other terrorist groups.”

The government also alleges Alamoudi had a Swiss bank account and $2.2 million in unreported income, on which he failed to pay taxes.  Thursday, Alamoudi’s lawyer said he never supported any terrorist group and that Osama bin Laden has dozens of nephews who have nothing to do with al-Qaida.  Yet, in an audiotape of a conversation obtained by NBC News, Alamoudi seems to embrace violence and suggests al-Qaida should choose better targets: (Translated) “I prefer to hit a Zionist target in America or Europe or elsewhere.”   Alamoudi’s lawyer said her client doesn’t remember saying such a thing and questioned the tape’s authenticity.
 

FAMILIAR FACE IN WASHINGTON
 

Over the years, Alamoudi has been a familiar face in Washington.
* The Pentagon chose him to help select Muslim chaplains.
* He met with President Clinton.
* Made six trips to Muslim nations as a goodwill ambassador for the State Department.
* Met with presidential candidate George W. Bush.
* Last year, FBI Director Robert Mueller even spoke to an organization founded by Alamoudi, over the objections of some agents. " ......

Yeah, this story's been posted, but it can't be posted enough, imo. The tentacles of Islamic terrorism extend a lot farther than most Americans realize, or are comfortable admitting.

But, it's a "Religion of Peace" GWB TM.

In time, it will be open season. In time. Then, the duplicitous federal government had best stand out of the way.

Terrorism, and suicide 'actions' have been condemned by every reputable Islamic scholar. It is, in fact, a religion of peace and the vast majority of Muslims condemn it. Just like the vast majority of Christians condemn violent Christian Fundamentalists.

I'm gonna start exercising my freedom of speech. A frien of my neice is making me a t-shirt tomorrow.

Front is gonna have...

FU*K ALLAH

Back will read...

STOP
ISLAM
NOW
It's not a religion, it's a death cult.

There are no moderate muslims.

See, muslims are allowed to lie to infidels.
Unlike civilized peoples and religions who frown upon dishonesty. Muslims live it. And they say this, and say that, when all that matters is converting or enslaving the entire world. The sick and twisted teachings of a common bandit/rapist/liar/drug user by the name of Mohammad have created misery the world over, keeping people in poverty, promoting violence and really evil acts against nonmuslims.

Unless the west pulls its head out of its politically correct a$$, we're gonna pay heavily(9-11 will be considered childs play once Saudi and Iran get nukes) for not crusading this death cult into extinction.

Call me whatever ya want, my eyes are open, there is no peace in the cult of death that claims to be a religion.

Sorry. I'm not buying. There has been EXTEMELY little condemnation of terrorist actions from the ROP establishment since 9-11. This has been WIDELY reported on many fronts. Unless you count the proclamaitions from CAIR, Arafat, et.al. "Terrorism is wrong, but you have to understand the motivation of the oppressed" claptrap. Give me a break already.

I wouldn't go there.Today,this year,this century Christians haven't been using terror worldwide.The number of extremists can't be compared.That said,I know the "moderates" exist but I hear Mullahs preaching and teaching hatred and death...so I'd like the moderates to codemn loudly ,often,in their own countries and mean it..

Proof?
I have not heard anything like that from Muslims.
Just repeated rumours that they really say that, in private, to non-Muslims.
Got links?

There are no moderate muslims.

Most will moderate their positions after you have discharged several 500 magnum rounds into their skulls.
