Muslim-Americans who are NOT Moderate
In the USA there are Muslim organizations which if you believe their own hype are of the so-called moderate Islamic bent; however these Muslim-American organizations nearly all have a connection overtly or covertly to an Islamic terrorist organization. In most cases the Muslim terrorists represent the various Arabs that call themselves Palestinians. Also there is a connection to Ikhwan better known as the Muslim Brotherhood in the English speaking world.
Let’s see if I can think of some these Muslim-American organizations that claim to represent mainstream (moderate) Islam in America.
The top dog (or so self-proclaimed) of these organization is the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR has been directly tied to the evil Arab-Palestinian organization known as Hamas. Hamas is on the State Department Terror Watch List. CAIR was implicated with an association with Hamas as an unindicted co-conspirator in successful prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF).
The Muslim American Society (MAS [Large PDF file]) is vitally connected to the international Salafist organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood (MB). The MB has a Wahhabi outlook about Islam which is strongly advocated by Terrorist organizations like Al-Qaeda and Hamas.
The Muslim Student Association (MSA) is also part of the MB agenda to Islamize the globe by infiltration or by jihad. The MSA is the largest student Muslim organization in the North American continent.
The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) initially was founded as an organization to be a bridge between Christians and Jews in America attempting to emphasize that Islam’s core values are compatible with American values. Once Israel became embroiled with Arab-Palestinian terrorism of the Second Intifada MPAC became very recalcitrant toward Jews and Israel in particular. MPAC’s position is that Israel is a terrorist State and terrorist groups such as Hezbollah are freedom fighters. Hence MPAC’s is officially moderate Islam yet the organization supports and celebrates the terrorist activities of Arabs that call themselves Palestinians. (Interesting tidbit on MPAC)
The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) is a huge ideological supporter to Islamist speakers with ties to Muslim terrorists like the Pakistan’s Jamaat e-Islami (Interesting tidbit on Jamaat e-Islami).
The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) is largely funded by Saudi Wahhabi interests and has close ties to Arab-Palestinian terrorists (e.g. Palestinian Islamic Jihad). ISNA is an offshoot from the MSA. ISNA is thought to hold up to 80% or more of the mortgages of American Mosques; ergo those Mosques are required to teach and preach (or whatever Muslims call exhortation of their faith) the radical Saudi Wahhabi message of puritanical Islam practiced by Al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. Also ISNA is heavily influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood. ISNA is noted for bringing in pro-Jihad (i.e. the violent “lesser” Jihad), anti-Western, Anti-Israel (and anti-Jewish), and anti-American speakers to well funded speaking engagements in America.
In an e-newsletter received on July 6 from ACT! For America there is a report that anti-Islamist Dave Gaubatz was ejected from one of ISNA’s large meetings recently. According to ACT! For America Gaubatz was in no way being disruptive. Gaubatz was collecting information that ISNA officials obviously did not want non-Muslim America (i.e. we kafir) to be aware of. Then ACT! For America proceeded to include in the e-newsletter some information on the ISNA 46th annual convention in which evangelical Pastor Rick Warren is to participate as a symbol of interfaith dialogue.
Warren must not have read up on the fact that the puritanical form of Wahhabi Islam promoted by ISNA would relegate him to a dhimmi in a Muslim dominated society. Warren’s symbolism then is an example of interfaith stupidity rather than interfaith toleration.
Here is the ACT! For America e-newsletter:

ISNA's annual convention 'illuminating'
ACT! For America
Sent: 7/6/09
ISNA, the Islamic Society of North America, has been in the news a lot the past few days, hosting its annual convention in Washington, D.C.
As the Investigative Project on Terrorism report below notes:
“The Investigative Project on Terrorism reviewed recent ISNA conference activity and found a host of examples of radical ideology that belies its moderate image.”
What’s more, according to a report in WorldNetDaily, during the July 3rd ISNA convention in D.C., ISNA “chose to eject by force an American investigating Islamist radicalism in the U.S.”
There is no evidence from the report that ISNA’s motivation for ejecting Gaubatz was due to him causing a disruption. Gaubatz was there to gather information, just as he has done for projects such as the “Mapping Sharia” project, in which Gaubatz has entered numerous mosques around the country to examine and analyze the materials the mosques distribute.
If ISNA is truly a voice for moderation, why would it fear someone like Gaubatz? Indeed, wouldn’t ISNA want to showcase its moderation for someone like Gaubatz?

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) hooked a big fish for its 46th convention starting Friday in Washington, D.C. when evangelical Pastor Rick Warren agreed to appear.
But ISNA wanted a bigger star – President Barack Obama. There's been no public response from the White House to ISNA's invitation. But the conference is expected to feature a significant government presence, in the form of sponsored-informational booths and speakers from the Departments of ...
