The Truth About The Noor Islamic Centre (Including Our Friend Salam Al-Marayati)

The legal team representing Rifqa Bary, the American teenager who fears for her life after enraging her family by converting from Islam to Christianity, has released a report detailing the alarming connections to Islamic radicalism and terrorism of the Bary family's local Noor Islamic Centre, of which the family are devout members. The report proves that Rifqa would be in danger if she was sent home to Ohio not only from her family, but from the entire local Muslim community there.

A brief summary of the report's contents is as follows (taken from the document itself):

There are four primary concerns related to the Noor Center:

I. THE NOOR CENTER CEO AND THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
The leader of the mosque, Dr. Hany Saqr, was previously an imam for another area mosque at the same time the largest known Al-Qaeda cell in the U.S. since 9/11 was operating out of the mosque...

II. THE NOOR CENTER SCHOLAR AND TERRORIST LEADERS
A former Islamic scholar associated with The Noor Center is Dr. Salah Sultan, a
cleric that has been photographed with terrorist leaders designated as such by
the U.S. government...

III. THE NOOR CENTER AND EXTREMIST SPEAKERS
A number of extremist speakers have been featured at recent Noor Center
events who are on record making statements in support of violence, terrorism
and extremism...

IV. THE NOOR CENTER TIED TO NATIONWIDE FBI TERROR
INVESTIGATION
The Noor Center has also been directly tied to the ongoing nationwide
investigation into Somali-American youths who have left the U.S. to train in
terror camps operated by the Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Shabaab terror organization...

There is much more information on all this and more at the link provided.

Among the dangerous Muslim radicals associated with the Noor Islamic Centre is Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a mainstream and influential cleric who endorses suicide bombings, wife-beating, and...the death penalty for apostasy.

And hang on a cotton-pickin' minute, what's this? Also connected to the Centre is a certain Salam al-Marayati, whose deceptions I skewered here only the other day. As the legal report notes, Marayati has previously defended Hizballah and Hamas, and "On the day of the 9/11 attacks, Marayati was interviewed by a Los Angeles radio station, where he blamed the attacks on the Israeli government". Charming fellow, then.

Anyway, do be sure to read the whole thing. It also contains a written testimony from Rifqa Bary herself at the end.
