Obama to Speak at Baltimore Mosque Where Imam Condoned Suicide Bombings



Obama to Speak at Baltimore Mosque Where Imam Condoned Suicide Bombings
by Jordan Schachtel 30 Jan 2016Washington, DC
President Obama is set to speak next week at a mosque which was led for over a decade by an Imam who justified suicide bombings in some circumstances and who helped found a mosque with ties to Al Qaeda.

The President will visit the Islamic Society of Baltimore on Wednesday and deliver remarks there, the White House confirmed on Saturday. This will be the first time the President has paid an official visit to a mosque during his seven years as President. However, Obama has toured mosques while on overseas trips.

“The president believes that one of our nation’s greatest strengths is our rich diversity,” White House spokesman Keith Maley said, confirming reports. “As the president has said, Muslim Americans are our friends, and neighbors; our co-workers, and sports heroes — and our men and women in uniform defending our country.”

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)–which has been declared a terrorist organization in the United Arab Emirates and was named by federal prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation’s Hamas-funding operation–welcomed Obama’s decision.

“For a number of years we’ve been encouraging the president to go to an American mosque,” said CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper. “With the tremendous rise in anti-Muslim sentiment in our country, we believe that it will send a message of inclusion and mutual respect.”

But critics of Obama’s decision may question his choice of the Islamic Society of Baltimore, where Mohamad Adam el-Sheikh, a native of Sudan and former member of the Muslim Brotherhood, led the institution for eighteen years as its Imam. 

Before becoming Imam there, el-Sheikh helped found the Muslim American Society, an outfit created by Muslim Brotherhood members.

In 2004, he told the Washington Post, commenting on Palestinian suicide bombers: “If certain Muslims are to be cornered where they cannot defend themselves, except through these kinds of means, and their local religious leaders issued fatwas to permit that, then it becomes acceptable as an exceptional rule, but should not be taken as a principle.”

El-Sheikh also helped found the Dar Al-Hijrah mosque, which was once led by the deceased infamous Al Qaeda terrorist Anwar Al Awlaki.

When he left the Islamic Society of Baltimore, El Sheikh became the Imam of Dar Al-Hijrah, following Awlaki’s escape from the U.S. after the September 11 attacks.

The Dar Al-Hijrah mosque was founded thanks, in part, to a large grant from Saudi Arabia’s Embassy in the United States, which allowed for the large facility to accommodate some 5,000 Muslims.

Dar Al-Hijrah, which is located right outside Washington, D.C., is connected to several high-profile Islamic terrorists who prayed there, including Major Nidal Hassan – the Ft. Hood massacre jihadi, two September 11 hijackers, and an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

El-Sheikh was also the former Baltimore regional director of the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA), which the U.S. Treasury Department later designated a specially designated global terrorist group for its support of Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.

Pope Francis Discusses Ecology with Actor Leonardo DiCaprio



Pope Francis Discusses Ecology with Actor Leonardo DiCaprio
by Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.29 Jan 2016
On Thursday, Pope Francis met with Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio in the Vatican, where the two reportedly discussed the care of the environment, among other things.

DiCaprio requested the meeting, which took place from 11:15 to 11:30 in the morning. DiCaprio has worked for years on ecological issues and sustainability.
The actor spoke on the subject of climate change at the UN COP21 Paris climate conference and at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

“Our world leaders are here in Paris in an effort to finalize a global agreement 20 years in the making, to finally address the very real threat that climate change poses to our planet,” DiCaprio said to a group of mayors in early December 2015.
“These leaders have met before. They met in Kyoto, they met in Copenhagen, and in cities on every continent, but each and every time, they have come up short. This time must be different, because we are fundamentally running out of time.”

“Climate change is the most fundamental and existential threat to our species,” he continued. “The consequences are unthinkable and worse, it has the potential to make our planet unlivable.”

Earlier last year, DiCaprio came under fire for having flown on a private jet from NY to LA six times in only six weeks, while simultaneously urging others not to use fossil fuels.

Not long afterward, the actor returned to New York to accept a Clinton Global Citizen Award for his environmental preservation efforts.

Another group mocked DiCaprio as a “celebrity hypocrite” for having celebrated the World Cup in 2014 aboard a 482-foot super yacht, owned by United Arab Emirates sheik Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, whose family’s $150 billion fortune came mostly from the sale of oil.

The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation funds a project titled Green World Rising, which urges visitors to the website to “Lighten your carbon load.”

The site says that “we can lead by example in reducing our own ‘carbon footprints’ at home, at work, and at school,” while not specifically referring to air travel on private jets.

The arrival of the American star in the Vatican occurred without publicity, with the name “Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio” appearing on the daily list of the Pope’s audiences the morning of the meeting.

Pope Francis reportedly gave DiCaprio a leather-bound copy of his encyclical letter on the environment Laudato Si and his earlier document, The Joy of the Gospel.
