The contact for this event was MSO president, David Johnson, who now holds a position in the FAU student government.

Ali sits on the board of the American Muslim Council, an organization whose leaders have openly supported terrorist groups, such as Hamas. And from the years 1992 through 1997, Ali was president of the Islamic Society of North America, an umbrella group for hundreds of Islamic organizations, which conducts conferences and publishes a magazine featuring a number of Islamist militants spewing hateful and sometimes violent rhetoric.------- "Boca Raton, City of Terror," By Joe Kaufman, FrontPageMagazine.com, May 22, 2003, http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=7982

Who is known for this:
Another person that Bassem Alhalabi wrote publications with is Hussam Jubara. Along with Al Arian, Jubara co-founded the Islamic Committee for Palestine (ICP), a think tank that solicited funds for the express purpose of assisting families of suicide bombers. Alhalabi admits to having worked for Jubara and states that he is a “close friend.” Jubara was indicted by a federal grand jury on three counts of lying on immigration forms. In addition, Alhalabi recently got into hot water for his negotiated shipment of a $13,000 thermal imaging device to Syria. The Commerce Department restricts the export of the device to foreign countries. In a recent news report concerning Alhalabi’s transaction, it was stated that this machine is “normally used by fire departments, military units, law enforcement and government agencies, including NASA, to produce heat-sensitive images of buildings, landscapes and ground areas.” Alhalabi claims that his brother wanted it, so that he could search for gold.------- "Boca Raton, City of Terror," By Joe Kaufman, FrontPageMagazine.com, May 22, 2003, http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=7982

This mosque has as its Imam :
* Ibrahim Dremali : the imam of the Islamic Center of Boca Raton. (ICBR)[one of two related mosques in Boca Raton] ------- "Boca Raton, City of Terror," By Joe Kaufman, FrontPageMagazine.com, May 22, 2003, http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=7982
... Ibrahim Dremali is the imam of the Islamic Center of Boca Raton. Questions have been raised as to a possible association of his to a militant Islamic group. On July 1, 1996, Dremali was detained by the Israeli Defense Force and told that he was not to leave Gaza indefinitely. On July 5, 1996, at 10 pm, he would set off for Cairo and was to arrive there within two hours. How do I know this? Because the information was posted to the internet by someone that signed it “LM Hashim.” Keep that in mind, as you read on. In October of 2000, Dremali spoke at a rally where Israeli flags were burned and slogans, such as “With jihad we'll claim our land, Zionist blood will wet the sand,” were shouted. Dremali told the crowd “not to be sad for those who were martyred and to not be afraid to die for what they believe in”… obvious allusions to suicide bombers. Dremali now claims that he did not make the statement, and the 50 word paragraph that contains this information (and the picture accompanying the paragraph) has now mysteriously disappeared from the article on the website that it was written for (www.islam-online.net), though it can still be accessed via archives. The author of the article is “Um Ahmad [aka Lamyaa Hashim].”------- "Boca Raton, City of Terror," By Joe Kaufman, FrontPageMagazine.com, May 22, 2003, http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=7982
Imam Dremali's brother Ishaq was the Gaza operations coordinator for a Florida charity just south of Boca Raton called the Health Resourch Center for Palestine (HRCP):
Lamyaa Hashim, or Um Ahmad as she often goes by, is a well known Islamic poet. Her poetry, including one poem which seems to be about a suicide bomber (‘My Beloved Left for Palestine’), can be seen on such radical sights as palestine4ever.net. The site belongs to the medical director for the Palestine Children’s Welfare Fund, Rosemary Davis (Shadya Hantouli), and features a picture gallery of past suicide bombers. Hashim gave permission to put her poetry on the site. You can also access more of Hashim’s poetry on her personal website, ‘Struggle in Palestine,’ which contains on its homepage a picture of someone burning an effigy that says on his (the effigy’s) chest, “WAR IS HELL, BUSH IS SATAN.” In addition, there is a link on her site to an organization associated with the terrorist group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and a link to a site praising Abdullah Azzam, the founder of the organization that became Al Qaida. Lamyaa Hashim is also important, because she ran a Deerfield Beach, Florida charity called the Health Resourch Center for Palestine (HRCP), which as of late has closed down. Deerfield Beach is located just south of Boca Raton. Ibrahim Dremali’s brother, Ishaq, was the Gaza operations coordinator for itWhile the HRCP may be “closed for business,” as the site has stated, the website for the charity is still up, though (www.hrcp.org). The webmaster of the site is Syed Ahmad. On his personal site, he states he is an FAU student. On his personal site, he also has a homepage to the Islamic Association for Palestine, a front group for Hamas. In addition, his site sports the homepage for the Sanabel Charitable Society, what seems to be the Gaza affiliate to the HRCP; it lists Lamyaa Hashim as its United States representative........------- "Boca Raton, City of Terror," By Joe Kaufman, FrontPageMagazine.com, May 22, 2003, http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=7982
This mosque [Islamic Center of Boca Raton] has as its spokesman :
* Dr. Daniel McBride:
Dr. Daniel McBride, spokesman for the Islamic Center of Boca Raton and a friend of [Dr] Sabir, said Sabir works in the emergency rooms of two hospitals in Palm Beach County. "That's absurd," McBride said of the charge against Sabir. "He is a quality guy and a quality physician. He's all about helping others. That's why he became a doctor.
