Newsday editor trains Muslims to influence media

An Islamic gathering featuring numerous terror-linked Islamists stirring up hatred against those opposed to jihad and sharia law. Oh, and they are planning a mass anti-islamophobia rally. Sounds like a counter-rally is in order. via Training Summit for Muslim Peace Activists : The Muslim Observer. h/t MFS

January 8, 2011 could very well turn out to be a milestone in the history of Muslim civil rights activism and inter-faith bridge building. On that cold blustery morning, Muslim Peace Coalition organized an initiative to educate the Muslim community and other members of the public on the methods needed to peacefully combat the growing Islamophobia.

…The program was specifically designed to train the public on the proper techniques needed to successfully organize and mobilize for the April 9th mass anti war and anti-islamophobia rally.   The event took place in the Islamic Center of Long Island and ran from 9 am till 6 PM. Representatives from various Muslim and non Muslim organizations were in attendance.

…

The third session discussed the media and how individuals and organizations could influence the media and use it as an effective tool to educate the public and influence the policy makers. Bob Keeler, an editor from Newsday talked about various ways that Muslims could have their voices heard in the media. His practical tips from maintaining individual contacts to fruitful and regular meetings with the editorial board, and on getting the community portrayed in a positive light in all sections of the print media- news, editorial, culture,religion and style were priceless. He asked them to write in the Op-ed sections and contribute to any other column that they were well acquainted with. Dr. Shaik Ubaid then touched upon previous examples to show how a community can have an effective media-relations effort.

More evidence the media is complicit. Some of the Islamists fomenting Muslim hatred against Americans include:

Abdul Malik Mujahid

An array of books is available on Islamic sites in the United States offering books for sale with titles such as “Commanders of the Muslim Army”. What is noteworthy about this tome is that the publisher is none other then Abdul Malik Mujahid, the newly elected chairman of the Council of Islamic organisations of Greater Chicago (CIOGC) which is regarded as a mainstream Muslim organisation, but is part of a large Chicago Wahabist network closely aligned with the Bridgeview mosque Foundation, whose spokemen include Rafiq Jaber, is the head of the Islamic Association of Palestine, and Oussama Jammal, who claimed that Muslims were not involved in the 9/11 attacks. Jamal runs a film company and closely linked to Mujahid’s Sound Vision which is a multi media Islamist propagation commercial enterprise.

Several Bridgeview Mosque Foundation members, including a the head of the Quranic Literacy Institute who claimed he was publishing religious texts, were recently convicted of terrorism funding in a case brought by the parents of American teenager David Boim, who had been gunned down at a bus stop by Hamas terrorists.

There are zero degrees of separation between The Council of Islamic Organisations of Greater Chicago, the Bridgeview Mosque Foundation and Hamas and Al Qaeda affiliated individuals and organistions. The fact that the CIOGC and the disingenuously named Muslim Civil Rights Center, were awarded funding “to help Muslims become American citizens”, is futher proof of the organisation’s Islamist agenda.

Shamsi Ali

Shamsi Ali, the Deputy Imam of the Islamic Cultural Center of New York and Director of the Jamaica Muslim Center, who was the moderator at a February 2006 demonstration against Danish cartoons of Muhammad held outside the Danish Consulate in Manhattan, where a poster was seen being waived which read, “Insult the Prophet, you will pay, Allah’s wrath is on the way.”

Al-Amin Abdul Latif

Amin Abdul Latif, President (Ameer) of Majlis Ashura of New York City in Brooklyn: Latif signed his name to an open letter to President Bush in support of Algeria’s Islamic Salvation Front, the organization responsible for the creation of the Armed Islamic Group.
