The extremist Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) has apparently found a home in Hilliard at the Noor Islamic Cultural Center. Just this past February, MPAC community development director Haris Tarin made an appearance at Noor. And just this past weekend, the chief MPAC extremist himself, Salam Al-Marayati, was the featured speaker at a youth(!) event at Noor:

Salam Al Marayati
Executive Director of Muslim Public Affairs Council

The First Muslim Leader to testify before US House

Al-Marayati made national news this week when he refused to meet with the Pope, as reported by the Associated Press (”US Muslim Group Declines to Meet Pope“). So much for “interfaith relations”. However, this isn’t the first, or even the second, time that Al-Marayati’s extremism has made news.

What is so particularly offensive about Al-Marayati’s appearance is that the visit of this openly pro-Hezbollah supporter coincides with the 25th anniversary of the US Embassy bombing in Beirut by Hezbollah, which killed 63 people, including 17 Americans.

In June 1999, Al-Marayati was selected by then-House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt to serve on a 10-member congressional commission on terrorism. But as the CNN article pictured below with Marayati shows (”US Muslim leader denies he’s a terrorist sympathizer“), this announcement was immediately followed by revelations that Al-Marayati had made numerous statements in support of terrorism and terrorist organizations. In fact, his appointment to the terrorism commission was revoked by Gephardt following these revelations. (See the Investigative Project’s profile on Al-Marayati.)

One particular statement that raised the attention of the media was found in MPAC’s 1999 counterterrorism policy paper, which asserted that the Hezbollah suicide attack on the US Marine barracks in Beirut, which killed 241 American servicemen, was not a terrorist attack, but a military operation:

And lest anyone think I’m doing something dodgy with his quote, here’s the screen capture from the MPAC policy paper:

What’s even more obnoxious is that MPAC equated the Hezbollah suicide attack with John Wayne and the movie, The Fighting Seabees. As the Investigative Project profile indicates, this is a favorite theme for Al-Marayati, who has compared the Islamic doctrine of jihad (holy war) to Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty or give me death” speech:

“When Patrick Henry said, ‘Give me liberty or give me death,’ that statement epitomized jihad”

For more background on Al-Marayati and MPAC, see the CAMERA analysis and the Discover the Networks profile.

And give a call to Hilliard Mayor Don Schonhardt (614/334-2365 - city switchboard) and ask him what he’s doing to address the steady stream of Islamic hate sheikhs and terror enthusiasts going through the Noor Islamic Cultural Center and Sunrise Academy.

    It’s right in our face, but will we deal with it before it metastasized to a point of fatality to our way of life?

    Some are aware,

    Rep. Sue Myrick wants America to “wake up” and stop allowing terrorism to proliferate — and if that means revoking the passport of a former U.S. president or examining the preaching of prison chaplains, that’s what she’s prepared to do.

    Highlights of her 10 point plan to

    Myrick’s 10-point plan
    1. Investigate all military chaplains endorsed by Abdurahman Alamoudi, who was imprisoned for funding a terrorist organization.
    2. Investigate all prison chaplains endorsed by Alamoudi.
    3. Investigate the selection process of Arabic translators working for the Pentagon and FBI.
    4. Examine the nonprofit status of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
    5. Make it an act of sedition or solicitation of treason to preach or publish materials that call for the deaths of Americans.
    6. Audit sovereign wealth funds in the United States.
    7. Cancel scholarship student visa program with Saudi Arabia until they reform their text books, which she claims preach hatred and violence against non-Muslims.
    8. Restrict religious visas for imams who come from countries that don’t allow reciprocal visits by non-Muslim clergy.
    9. Cancel contracts to train Saudi police and security in U.S. counterterrorism tactics.
    10. Block the sale of sensitive military munitions to Saudi Arabia.

    I don’t know where to start. This updated story is the most shocking I have read so far. Why are we as a united country for freedom allowing the muslim groups to even have a Mosque They hate us, preach against us , and support terrorists who will fight us. They are allowed to come into our country, and given the freedom to preach hatred against us in a place we allow them to build right in fucking Ohio.

    I am not sure what I want to say about this nor do I know what should be done immediately, Representative Myrick makes a good start with her list. This Salam Al Marayati should not even be allowed in the country. These people need to be deported now. CAIR needs to be closed down now. Revoke their non profit status and reclassify them as a terror supporting organization. Wake up America. This is a calling card from Radical Islam. If we don’t stop this nonsense now, we will be like Europe is now, and they will be demanding Sharia law next. This is exactly why China doe not take any vrap off of anyone. Why create and help your opponent destroy your country. Crazy…. Stupid.. Whats up with the Mayor in Dubln, Ohio or is he a Camel jockey also.

    I work for a towing company in Columbus, Ohio and drive into Dublin a few times a week. I am in Hillard all the time because we tow for the Hilliard Division of Police. To me..and if I am crazy, please tell me Mr. Poole,..these are places that you wouldn’t think about any threat. Dublin hosts the Memorial, Hilliard has Bobby Rahal, (and Danicka Patrick :wink: :beer:) and are for the most part good places to live. Hilliard has just exploded in the last few years. And with that has come just a shit load of new housing and apartments. We have contracts to tow out of alot of these places now and have noticed new problems. A huge increase in jihadi’s. A few years ago , if you were approached by the person you are towing, you explain why you are towing the car…they pay the half drop,give them a receipt and go on your way. Now..I have drivers that are being approached by 10-15 jihadi’s and had drivers assaulted by them. Hillard seems like a great place to hide now. And as you can see..they are here and have been here but, no one is catching out to it. Columbus has picked off a few people though..Ayman Ferris, and some others. But, I believe there is more here and up to no good. :gun: :gun: :gun:
