Alfonso Lopez, an appointee in the corrupt Obama Regime and a democrat candidate for Congress, is asking people to sign a petition against FOX News for exposing the un-American decision by the Virginia State Legislature to honor the Dar al-Hijrah mosque for “outstanding community service.” Service which has brought the Falls Church community such notorious terrorists as Fort Hood’s Major Nidal Hasan, Anwar al-Awlaki who was the al-Qaeda-linked imam for this mosque from 2001-2002, and two of the 9/11 hijackers, not to mention several terrorists currently held at Gitmo.
IPT Apparently it was Lopez who introduced a resolution to recognize the 30th Anniversary of Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, which the obviously ignorant lawmakers passed.
Criticism of extremist rhetoric and the numerous terror plots that have emanated from Falls Church, Va.’s Dar al-Hijrah Islamic center equals “ignorantly painting all Muslims with the same brush” and “dividing the country using fear and hate,” a Virginia state legislator said. Alfonso Lopez, a Democratic candidate for Congress, slammed Fox News host Eric Bolling for denouncing Lopez’s resolution honoring the 30th anniversary of the controversial Virginia mosque.
Bolling criticized the resolution because of Dar al-Hijrah’s ties to American-born al-Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki and convicted Fort. Hood shooter Nidal Hassan during a March 19 broadcast.
“For Fox News to smear an important community institution by ignorantly painting all Muslims with the same brush is reprehensible,” Lopez wrote on his Facebook page and in a post on the Daily Kos. “At its core, this is a rightwing media attack on the faith and religious freedom of hard-working patriotic Americans.”
Lopez created a petition attacking the “right-wing smears of the Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center” in response to the criticisms from Fox and others. He did not respond to a request for comment from the Investigative Project on Terrorism.
The resolution, which passed the Virginia General Assembly March 3, praised the mosque for “promot[ing] cooperation, tolerance and mutual understanding among different faiths.” Dar al-Hijrah may engage in inter-faith outreach but it also has a history of radical preaching, and attracting radical jihadists who prayed there. Lopez also downplayed the mosque’s established connections with terrorism and extremist rhetoric by playing up the charitable activities and interfaith activities it engages in under the rubric of dawah (Muslim evangelism).
U.S. Department of Homeland Security reports obtained by the IPT have noted that the mosque “has been under numerous investigations for financing and [providing] aid and comfort to bad organizations and members” and have called it a “front for Hamas operatives in U.S.”
Among those bad members, Awlaki served as an imam at Dar al-Hijrah before leaving the United States. Two 9/11 hijackers attended services there, as did Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan and terrorist financier Abdurrahman Alamoudi. The Washington Post noted in 2011 that “almost no other mosque in the country has been linked to so many cases of alleged terrorism.”
If you feel like signing anything, send an email to FOX News for putting the spotlight on this travesty.
Shaker Elsayed, who is the imam of Dar Al-Hijrah mosque and Islamic Center, addresses Ethiopian Muslims living in the United States at T.C. Williams High School. In his speech he implores Ethiopian Muslims living in America to arm themselves for jihad.
Elsyaed has had questionable ties with terrorists. Shaker Elsayed (born in Cairo, Egypt, in 1951) is a dual citizen of Egypt and the US, and has been the Imam of the Dar Al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Virginia, since June 1, 2005. Elsayed also served as an unofficial spokesman for the family of Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, who was convicted of plotting to assassinate President Bush. Abu Ali worshipped at Dar al-Hijrah.
THE DAILY CALLER The controversial imam of a prominent mosque in Arlington, Va., has urged immigrant Muslims in the United States to wage war for Islam. ‘The enemies of Allah are lining up. The question for us is, are we lining [up] or are we afraid because they may call us terrorists?’ Shaker Elsayed told a crowd of Ethiopian Muslims during a lecture at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Va.
‘Let me give you the good news: they are already calling us terrorists anyway. Whether you sitting at home, watching TV, drinking coffee, sleeping or playing with your kids, you are a terrorist because you are a Muslim. ‘Muslim men when it is a price to pay, they are first in line. … They are the first in the community-service line. They are the first in jihad line,’ he declared to applause.
Dana It is true that everyone that goes to a mosque is not a murder! YET. I know you want to look reasonable and turn the other cheek. However: when you are being eaten by a croc, do you not want to fight back? If not, you will be dead.
Arms for Jihad!
The power of armaments!
Be a muslim who fights back…!
Are these really what USA wants spoken in a High School?
That is what imam Shakar Elsayed urges in the video above.
Virginians make sure this fool is not elected
Mosque are barracks for soldiers of Allah, Islam has declared war on the west, this administration has shown support for this enemy against America, this makes us ignorant people that elect traitors to this country. Because Islamist are street thugs, it would be wise to create war between street gangs in America to take out Islamic street thugs who plan to use them then kill them, it’s a battle of territory, our so called police can’t and don’t protect our borders so its war, never let a crisis go o waste. To start this within the prison system is where the dime should be dropped.
DannyBoy, the police are being marginalized by the local feds. They are no longer there to serve and protect the public. They are now there to project the reach of the government. This phony president, Holder and the czars have made being a cop nothing more than a false sense of security for the Kool Aide drinkers. The police will never enforce our laws against Islam. They have been given specific orders “NOT” to interfere with any activities that involve Islam. Look at Dearborn MI, the Christians were assaulted by Muslim security guards at a fair and the local police backed the Muslims. We must as nations never underestimate the political influence Islam has in our federal government. The only way to do it, elected Christians or staunch conservatives that won’t fold under the pressure from Holders storm troopers. Don’t forget Holder and Farrakhan are long lost radical friends.
When will REAL Americans demand that this FILTH be purged from our lands? If Repubs win the 2014 Senate, Americans need to start demanding that this FILTH is removed from the country and profiling to begin immediately!
THE WINNING U.S. MUSLIM STRATEGY: PROFILE, INTERN AND DEPORT!!
Before muslims were massively imported into our countries, patriotism and telling the TRUTH were always regarded as a sign of a person of excellent character. Now people are condemned for being PATRIOTIC and telling the truth.
‘Alfonso Lopez, an appointee in the corrupt Obama Regime and a democrat candidate for Congress, is asking people to sign a petition against FOX News’.
Is the TRAITOR paid by Saudi Arabia?
Thank G-d there are program’s like Fox News who draw attention to this farce.i
Lopez better hope his daughter and wife aren’t assaulted by one of his Muslim friends from the terror mosque. Of course, liberals who brag about how great Islam is live miles away from any Muslim and in gated communities with round-the-clock armed security.
Bizarre. Are these politicians SIMPLETONS? Are they all totally COMATOSE?
This mosque should receive an award as THE MOST DANGEROUS UNAMERICAN MOSQUE…the 9-11 terrorists’ mosque!
On the other hand, if this mosque is now helping the FBI find terrorists, they will now become the target of the terrorists!
