What are we to make of Muslim leaders in the United States who instill hatred in their followers towards the United States? The New York Post carries the following story.
March 9, 2006 -- WASHINGTON - The head of
Islamic chaplains in the New York City Department of Correction said in
a recent speech that the "greatest terrorists in the world occupy the
White House," Jews control the media, and Muslims are being tortured in
Manhattan jails.
The outlandish remarks were made by one of the city's
most prominent Islamic leaders, Imam Umar Abdul-Jalil, the executive
director of ministerial services for the city Department of Correction.
He spoke at a conference of Islamic leaders in Tucson, Ariz., and was
secretly recorded by the counterterrorism organization The
Investigative Project. . . "His comments betray an effort to instill hatred
of the United States as the enemy of Islam by making a series of false
allegations portraying the U.S. as an evil country," said anti-terror
expert Steve Emerson, director of The Investigative Project. "This is a man who is supposed to be spreading words of
reconciliation and moderation as head Islamic chaplain - not inciting
followers to believe that the U.S. government and 'Zionists' are
plotting a conspiracy of persecution against Muslims," Emerson added. HT: worldnetdaily.com
