MUST VIEW & READ: STEVEN EMERSON'S INVESTIGATIVE PROJECT CATHES RADICAL ISLAMIC CLERIC ON TAPE SUPPORTING TERRORISM

Steven Emerson's Investigative Project Catches Radical Islamic Cleric On Tape Supporting Terrorism
By Andrew Cochran


Last night, Sean Hannity of Fox News revealed video tape taken by Steven Emerson's Investigative Project on Terrorism of Imam Abdul Alim Musa of Washington, DC, openly supporting terrorism. Musa has a long history of supporting terrorists and expressing hatred of America. On September 9, 2001, at the University of California at Irvine, he said, "You think Zionism and Palestine is the only dictatorial power in the world. We’re telling you about apartheid right here in America. Not an apartheid of the 1960s, but an apartheid right now today. When you fight Old Sam, you are fighting someone that is superior in criminality and Nazism." Musa was there to speak at a benefit for Imam Jamil Al-Amin after his conviction of murdering an Atlanta police officer. At a July 1999 rally, Musa openly displayed a cashier's check made out to Hamas to protest the declaration of Hamas as a terrorist organization in 1996.

Last night, Hannity showed a 2002 clip taken by the IPT of Musa supporting Palestinian suicide terrorists, saying at a rally, "They are not suicide bombers they are heroes," and Hannity challenged Musa in an interview to explain his views. Musa denied that Osama bin Laden was responsible for the 9-11 attacks and asserted that OBL "is on an American payroll." He denied that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and said of Hamas, "They are nice people. Very nice people."

You can see the entire tape of the Hannity program here (22 MB), and the transcript of the Hannity interview is below. I have three questions:

1. When will Abdul Alim Musa be arrested and charged with "material support" of terrorism?

2. Why did the Democratic Party invite Husham al-Husainy, another radical Imam, to give the invocation at the DNC winter meeting?

3. Will Democratic Party leaders now publicly condemn al-Husseiny and pledge to not have any more dealings with him?

I suspect we'll see much more of Musa's public statements in support of terrorism from the IPT and others in the near future.
