Who’s behind “Islam on Capitol Hill?”

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 21, 2009 02:49 PM

This Friday, Sept. 25, the organizers of “Islam on Capitol Hill” hope to bring thousands of Muslims to Washington, D.C. The program for the “Day of Islamic Unity?”

*The Athan will be chanted on Capitol Hill, echoing off of the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument and other great edifices that surround Capitol Hill

*Thousands of Muslims from all races, creeds, colors and ethnicities will gather for the sole purpose of prayer

*Bonds of friendship will be formed between those in attendance, both Muslims and Non-Muslims

*Muslim youth will experience tours of the Library of Congress and the Supreme Court.

*The peace, beauty and solidarity of Islam will shine through America’s capitol.

Who’s behind the event?

Andrew Walden at FrontPageMag.com reports:

Attorney and “main organizer” of “Islam on Capitol Hill”, Hassen Ibn Abdellah is President of the Elizabeth, New Jersey Dar ul-Islam, Inc. Abdellah was, described October 25, 1993 by the New York Times, as the “most aggressively combative of the lawyers” representing the terrorists who staged the 1993 World Trade Center attacks. His client, the Egyptian-born Mahmud Abouhalima, was convicted of helping to manufacture and transport the bomb detonated in the 1993 attack and is now incarcerated in the Federal “Supermax” prison at Florence, Colorado.

In 2004 Abdellah represented Numan Maflahi, a New Jersey Muslim tied to al-Qaeda fundraising. The New York Times July 10, 2004 reported:

Prosecutors said Mr. Maflahi, a gas station owner who lives in Little Ferry, N.J., had been the driver and personal assistant for Sheik Abdullah Satar, a former member of parliament in Yemen. They have described Sheik Satar as a fund-raiser with ties to Al Qaeda.

Yesterday, Mr. Maflahi’s lawyer, Hassen Ibn Abdellah, told Judge Nina Gershon of Federal District Court in Brooklyn that her sentencing decision was a test of whether “this country could be fair to Arab-Americans.”

Five years later, why does the “aggressively combative” Abdellah think his “Time Has Come”? The August 31 Newark Star-Ledger explains: “It was President Obama’s words at his inauguration in January, and then his speech in Egypt in June, that led Abdellah and an area imam, Abdul Malik, to begin discussing the idea….”

    Ah, the classic, Islam is a religion of peace and everyone deserves to practice their faith in America, and just because I am a muslim doesn’t mean I have broken any laws b.s.

    More people whitewashing what Islam is really all about. I don’t think our religious freedom allows people to plot the overthrow of our government under the guise of religious freedom. Islam clearly states that no other laws are recognized other than Mohammads. Muslims argue over the exact meaning but clearly sharia law trumps the US constitution. Osama quotes clearly from the Koran where he gets his beliefs. So do many other murderous terrorists. Millions if not billions of Muslims believe what Osama quotes including the meaning behind the words.

    Many hope you don’t notice and will defend Islam as I see in some posts here. Try being a Christian or a non muslim in a muslim country. You may be tolerated but make no mistake that Sharia law says Muslims can take everything you own including your life.

    Many are committed to making the whole world Islamic using the Koranic verses as their guide including those that advocate violence, killing, and lying to acheive their goal.

    Convert or die or become a second class citizen with very few rights.

    Yeah, we should allow muslims freedom to practice their religion. What a crock.

    Nah, you tried and were provoked after the fact.

    However, I wasn’t thrilled by the projection of emotion on me earlier.

    Sure, I am skeptical of Hassen Ibn Abdellah’s motives with this event. Perhaps, it’s sincere. Perhaps not. I wonder if Ibn Abdellah believes what he tells juries when he defends a terrorist (and by that, I mean those proven guilty and he likely knew were guilty). I believe that I’m entitled to be skeptical and shouldn’t feel bad about having an opinion. This could also be one big commercial for Abdellah’s practice, but I’ll reserve my judgment until after the event.

    Again, I’m not questioning the right for an accused to have proper, even vigorous, representation. My prior comment was just an observation that the NYTimes description of him made me wonder about just how vigorous his defense might be and how he went about it if even they were negative about it.

    The only thing “potent” about BHO is his penchant for moronic utterances when TOTUS breaks!

    One day, Michelle O quotes Lady McBeth, BHO will look back and realize that picking Joe Biden was his BEST moment and that it was all downhill from there.

    You are either too young or too stupid (or both) to remember Jimmy Carter but you will get to experience the thrill we all shared as Jimmy wrecked the nation in four short years. Buckle up because it is going to be a wild ride.

    Exactly, it did not take long for me to figure out what Islam is when I spent a year in an Islamic country: IT IS A FORM OF GOVERNMENT!! A government completely incompatible with our democracy. The big difference between Judaism, Christianity and Islam is that Jews and Christians believe that God’s word was that people have a choice. People have the free will to chose to have God in their life or not. That is why Christian and the one Jewish countries are also very secular. When Islamists are in control people do not have a choice. I do not understand, do liberals think they are going to be given a pass to continue their sinful lives if Islam gets the chance to hijack our Constitution or way of life?

    They are not paying attention and have been duped by the apologists for Islam. It would be funny if it were not so deadly serious.

    Islam does not allow much liberty. Why should it? Everything you are supposed to do and not do are written right into the Koran and of course the Hadith that Islamic scholars created to help explain it to those who don’t see it the same way.

    Imagine, a religion that tells you what government system you are allowed to have, that is allowed by a government that the religion tells you that you can not have.

    Liberals will have the same choice. Convert, die, or slave. They still don’t get it. But hey, they fell for Obama so their insight is not too keen.
