NY IMAN: JEWS CONTROL AMERICAN SOCIETY

I WISH. IF WE DID, THIS CLOWN WOULD BE ON THE NEXT BOAT TO ANTARTICA.

Little Green Footballs reports that Dr. Ahmad Dewidar, imam of the Islamic Society of Mid-Manhattan and lecturer at Manhattan University, recently gave an interview to the Middle East Broadcasting Center (in Arabic) in which he said he had heard sermons that stated, “The White House will become the Muslim House.” Dewidar was also recently called “the face of the next generation of Muslims in America,” and he has met with President Bush, Mayor Giuliani, Governor Pataki and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.

In today’s New York Sun, MEMRI’s Steven Stalinsky writes about Dr. Dewidar’s even more outrageous statements in an interview for a Muslim Brotherhood web site, in which he said that American society is controlled by the Jews.

On June 15, Dr. Dewidar was interviewed by the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood’s Web site, www.ikhwanonline.com. When asked about how the attacks of September 11, 2001, impacted the spread of Islam in America, he said that he witnessed hundreds of Americans converting to Islam. Hinting at an American government conspiracy related to the attacks, he said, “Whether or not these events were planned, or pinned on the Muslims, or something else - [it] provided an opportunity for [the American government] to legislate dubious laws that restrict the growth and presence of Islam in the U.S.”

Regarding American skepticism toward Islam following September 11, 2001, he said, “The media - most of which is under Zionist control - has helped to spread this perception.” Later in the interview he said that “the Jews” control the press. When asked, “What is the extent of the Muslim community’s influence on American society?” He answered, “The Zionist community numbers only 3 million, but they control the government, the politics, the economy, and the media in the U.S.”

Also while speaking to the Web site of the Muslim Brotherhood, he denounced President Bush’s policy in the Middle East, claiming it was dictated by Natan
Sharansky: “This Jew has despicable goals, and we see their effects today in America’s actions in the region, imposing its opinion and its outlook on democracy, education, and political involvement on our countries.”

Some might consider it newsworthy that radical Islamists are in high positions in the American Muslim community, mouthing soothing platitudes in English for the infidels but letting their masks slip when speaking Arabic with their brothers. But as Stalinsky points out, mainstream media is completely uninterested:

While the New York press has yet to pay this story adequate attention, it is being discussed by blogs such as Little Green Footballs. Others, such as Solomonia.com/blog, wrote about Dr. Dewidar’s statements: “Before MEMRI - people could give these kinds of interviews abroad and no one would ever be the wiser. While still not broadcast widely, at least now, there’s a chance of people wising up.” On June 30, EconoPundit wrote: “MEMRI.org’s most important contribution has been to make it harder for Middle East leaders to say one thing to their English-speaking audience while saying opposite and often contradictory things to their non-English-speaking constituents and allies. It now seems MEMRI’s mandate has extended itself to U.S. Islamic leaders as well.”
