“Gaza is about the size of Greater Kansas City, both in land area and in population,” according to the KC Tribune.
And apparently there are a significant number of supporters of the terrorist group Hamas in greater Kansas City as well. The rally was sponsored by MAS-KC, a chapter of the Muslim American Society.
KC has a longer history with Hamas than most of its residents might realize.
Inside a Kansas City auditorium in 1989, a masked man stepped to a lectern and described in Arabic the “oceans of blood” spilled in Hamas’ armed attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians.
He thanked two nonprofit organizations for being early allies: the Islamic Association for Palestine, sponsor of the conference, and the Occupied Land Fund. Source
From the Discover the Networks archive on MAS, whose KC chapter organized the Plaza rally:
In May 2005, Daveed Gartenstein-Ross reported in The Weekly Standard that MAS is a U.S. front group for the Muslim Brotherhood — a claim supported by a September 19, 2004 Chicago Tribune story — and, as such, wishes to see the United States governed by sharia, or Islamic law. “The message that all countries should be ruled by Islamic law,” writes Gartenstein-Ross, “is echoed throughout MAS’s membership curriculum. For example, MAS requires all its adjunct members to read Fathi Yakun’s book To Be a Muslim. In that volume, Yakun spells out his expansive agenda: ‘Until the nations of the world have functionally Islamic governments, every individual who is careless or lazy in working for Islam is sinful.’”
MAS’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood were confirmed on August 14, 2007, as The Investigative Project on Terrorism reported:
“As the terror-support trial of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) continued today, FBI agent Lara Burns testified that a phonebook found at the home of Ismail Elbarrasse — un-indicted co-conspirator and former assistant to HAMAS leader Musa Abu Marzook — listed the names and numbers of the Muslim Brotherhood leadership in the United States. On the first page of the phonebook under the title ‘Members of the Board of Directors’ were fifteen names. Among those names are Ahmad Elkadi, Jamal Badawi, and Omar Soubani: the founding incorporators of the Muslim American Society (MAS).”
It’s worth repeating. How many protests did Muslim groups in America organize in the days and weeks after 9/11? That’s right – you could count them on one hand even if your hand was blown off with one of Hamas’ kassam rockets. Muslim Brotherhood led groups like CAIR and MAS have led dozens of protest in the last few days in support of terrorist group Hamas. Anyone getting the picture yet?

Honestly, it’s always people like that whom go around attempting to use the USA very own freedoms to undermine and take away the freedoms of OTHERS in USA away. So, that they can go around using the Koran claiming that they are More “superior” race (yep it uses the word superior about it) that Non-muslims whom are their “servants” (yep it uses the word servants about it; whom are to have no rights, no freedoms, no land, no homes, no possessions.
Oh, but here’s one more—According to the Koran–the Non-muslims because they are NON-muslims are required to pay a tax anytime the muslims require it to keep the Non-muslims from being killed. Also, to keep the muslims living in the “lifestyle” that they want to be “accustomed” to live in at the expense of all NON-muslims in USA and in the world.
For those whom in America have yet to realize it—the SHARIA LAW movement is a communist/facist/socialist/marxist movement—looking to create another holocaust–Only this “time” it won’t be just the jews it would be any Non-muslim in existence.
In other words “same” hitler terroist horse, just another “brand” name label.
How many people still don’t know whaaat? the ACLU says about USA –that American’s won’t ‘knowingly” accept Socialism; but “disguised” as “liberalism” Americans will accept every fragment of the Socialist agenda and one day wake up in a Socialist nation and “wonder how” it all happened to them.
don’t believe it?? here’s the quote from one of the founders of ACLU Norman Thomas–Americans will never knowingly accept Socialism;but under liberalism Americans will accept every fragment and one day wake up in a Socialist nation and wonder how it all happened. unquote.
What we need to wonder is how the DEMS can think they can count on American’s being as “stupid” as the ACLU and DEMS think Americans are so they can further their socialistic/communistic/marxist/facist agenda.
How many people have yet to realize that the so-called “fairness doctrine” was deliberately mislabeled as such because it is SHARIA LAW and they hoped Americans would be too stupid to look or research further than the title before blindly voting on something. Hoping no one would notice it says–it’s punishible by death to anyone whom claims the rapes, murders and terrorist activities of muslim/islam/sharia law are “bad”.
Whom was it who said—Tolerance only becomes wrong and EVIL when given and applied to criminals

a simple check of wikipedia will show the average idiot that this is not even a remote truth. in fact, there is no way to stretch the numbers to become even close.

This article didn’t prove anything but the Ignorance of the person who wrote it. These AMERICAN Muslims in the picture were practicing their freedom of speech, they were chanting for peace as you see in the pictures, they were asking that the war and blood shedding of the innocent kids and women in Gaza should be stopped. I am not sure where you did see that they are supporters for Hamas, the word MAS in the photo stands for Muslim American Society and not Hamas. By the way you called Hamas as Terrorists, on the other hand millions of people call the Israeli Army as terrorists after they have killed thousands of palestinian families and just recently 888 were killed 60% were women and kids. (Google it)
And a response to SassyFrassy: you mentioned that these folks think that American people will not do their research, I think you just proved them right with what you just wrote. I really think you should research before you waste an hour writing an article full of false statements and doesn’t express your opinion but instead it reflects Hatred and discrimination against other American Citizens. Islam says clearly that all men are equal, check online about pilgrimage. Also Islam was the first religion to allow women to vote. The tax thing that you mentioned is exactly how we all pay Tax if we like it or not and this is what goes to our Army, isnt that what keep us from being Killed by our enemies?? I can comment on every point you mentioned and prove you wrong but I believe that the majority of Americans are smart enough to research what you said and know how fictional it is.

bob – go for it, of course wikipedia is about as reliable as a hamas ceasefire but prove the KC Star wrong
elosman2004@hotmail.com – You say you can prove it – but the only thing you prove is that you are an apologist for a terrorist group. Feel free to rebut Sassy’s article point by point if you can. Then we’ll rebut yours.
We can prove that Hamas is a terrorist group and its goal is to kill all the Jews because that is what Hamas writes in their Covenant. Hamas also states that Jihad is the only way.
According to a google search, Hamas says it uses women and children as human shields, and they have video proof.

Creeping, If you really want me to prove what I said before, how come I am not able to post any comments anymore?
January 12, 2009 at 9:40 PM
Posting links to the Huffington Post doesn’t prove anything…if you have something to prove link to, try linking to some verses in the Koran or the Hamas Covenant which is what the topic is about…as for this site being fair – this site is not about fairness, it is 100% biased against terrorists and those who support Islamic terrorism and sharia law – if you don’t like it, post somewhere else

There is no purpose in arguing with a person who chooses not to see or at least admit that there is always two sides for each story. I wrote you a response and I didnt make up any facts so I cited the sources unlike your article which was only written to show hatred.
Because you cant argue with what I wrote before and you don’t want people to read it you did not post it (are you really an American, if so what happen to freedom of speech??). If you want to hear only what you like to hear then enjoy your ignorance.
By the way here is the quote you want desperately from the Quran. The Holy Book of Islam, teaches that killing one innocent person is as evil as killing the whole humanity and saving one life is like saving the whole humanity. (See the Qur’an, chapter 5 verse 32).
In the end whether you like it or not the truth will come out!!

This is not a site posting links to advertise other blogs that you write for or that promote Hamas propaganda…any post with two or more links is automatically sent to spam. We don’t censor any comment. Free speech was lost in America when the Muslim Brotherhood began implementing sharia law and when your brothers in Islam attacked on 9/11. But your fellow Muslims are still able to shout at Jews on the streets of Florida and tell them to go back to the ovens and that Israel should be nuked. How much more freedom do you want?
Thank you so much, however, for the Koran quote that proves pretty much everything we discuss here – the key word in the verse you chose is “INNOCENT”; Muslims purists believe that everyone is born Muslim and those who chose other religions are then apostates and no longer innocent. And clearly, as your previous statements indicate, you don’t believe that Israeli’s are innocent and are therefore justifiably subject to Islamic jihad. Guilty of not believing in Allah and following Islam means the infidel, the kufr, the apostates are not innocent.
Now how about that Hamas Covenant you keep ignoring?
June 13, 2009 at 4:32 PM
There not protesting for terrorism! There Protesting for Isrial to stop killing innocent woman and children in Gaza! Im not musilim, but I have some musilim friends that live here, and that wasnt what they were protesting for!
June 14, 2009 at 12:57 PM
Gaza is run by Hamas who was elected by the people…support for Gaza is support for Hamas…
