Maj. Nidal Hasan A May 4, 2011, MAS press release praised al-Qaida kingpin Osama bin Laden as “a visionary who believed in an Islamic state in Afghanistan.” Stunningly, Lopez’s resolution acknowledges Dar al-Hijrah’s affiliation with MAS but then goes on to describe MAS merely as “a national religious, educational, cultural, and charitable organization.” “Delegate Lopez should be ashamed,” said Richard S. Saunders of Virginia Beach, Va., in a letter to the editor of the Hampton Roads Pilot. “He knows the history of the Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center, yet out of political correctness and his desire to pander to the center in return for its support and the almighty vote, he could not do the right thing.” An Aug. 28, 2002, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement document, moreover, describes Dar al-Hijrah as “a mosque operating as a front for Hamas operatives in U.S.” Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Another cleric at the mosque, associate imam Johari Abdul Malik, has preached to American Muslims that they are within Islamic law to “blow up bridges” and other infrastructure. “You can do all forms of sabotage,” he said in a 2001 Hamas conference. Johari, likewise, has called for Islamic supremacy in America. “We will see the day when Islam, by the grace of Allah, will become the dominant way of life,” Malik told his flock at Dar al-Hirjah in 2004. “You will see Islam move from being the second largest religion in America to being the first religion in America.” wnd/2014/03/lawmaker-defends-his-praise-for-911-mosque/?cat_orig=us
