In the video above, you can watch what happened when I asked a spokesman for this mosque about the connections of his group, the Muslim American Society, to the Muslim Brotherhood, and about the support for Hamas of MAS leader Mahdi Bray. Victory! This just in from my SIOA colleague Pamela Geller: I just received […]

Good for the Marriott Oak Brook. It will interesting to see which “moderate” Muslim advocacy groups speak out now in defense of Hizb ut-Tahrir and its conference, since Hizb ut-Tahrir openly supports Sharia and the restoration of the caliphate, with all that means for the denial of rights to women and non-Muslims.
