Isn't there a 'Moderate' Imam anywhere?

THE IMAM AT REAGAN'S FUNERAL
By Michelle Malkin · June 11, 2004 10:32 AM
Ben Johnson at FrontPageMag raises troubling questions about the imam selected to represent Muslims at President Reagan's funeral today. Excerpt:
Magid, who was born and educated in the Sudan, is the Director of the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS). ADAMS has numerous close affiliations with the main targets of Operation Green Quest, the largest U.S. terror finance investigation anywhere in the world. In March 2002, federal agents raided ADAMSs facility in Herndon, Virginia, as part of an investigation into financial support for terrorism. Federal affidavits state that the Grove Street addresses (500 and 555 Grove St. in Herndon) housed more than 100 interlocking Muslim organizations, most headed by Jamal Barzinji, and these groups gave material aid to terrorists. Among those raided were several major ADAMS associates, including its chairman. Magid himself was present when federal agents raided the Herndon offices of ADAMS in March 2002.
Soon after the raid, Magid held a public meeting encouraging community building among the organizations investigated. Although 100 people showed up at the Sterling, Virginia, public library for the meeting, another 150 members of the overflow crowd met at ADAMS headquarters itself.
And with whom did Magid wish to build alliances? Among those invited was Kit Gage of the National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom, Sami al-Arians political front group. Al-Arian is the University of South Florida professor indicted for being Palestinian Islamic Jihads North American leader and chief financier. Wahhabi talk-show host Mahdi Bray, political advisor for the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), followed Gage. The Washington Times has described MPAC as an anti-Semitic organization that has defended infamous terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah.
