An early supporter - in fact, one of the much-vaunted members of that all-cleric Advisory Council - is now claiming the Council “never met” to discuss the school, according to Elizabeth Green, N.Y. Sun, reporting on our investigation of Imam Al-Hajj Talib Abdur-Rashid below.
Daniel Pipes and Beila Rabinowitz, members of the rapidly growing Stop The Madrassa Community Coalition, disclosed yesterday that Imam Al-Hajj Talib Abdur-Rashid’s mosque, the Mosque of the Islamic Brotherhood, prominently displays the pledge of the Muslim Brotherhood on its “About” page:
Allah is our goal
The Prophet Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah is our leader
The Qu’ran is our constitution
Jihad is our way
And death in the way of Allah is our promised end.
The words displayed at the KGIA advisor’s Mosque website - " The Qu’ran is our constitution, Jihad is our way, And death in the way of Allah is our promised end” - are particular chilling in light of the recent NYPD Report“Radicalization in the West - a Home Grown Threat (page 43)”
STAGE 4: JIHADIZATION. This is the phase in which members of the cluster accept their individual duty to participate in jihad and self-designate themselves as holy warriors or mujahedeen. Ultimately, the group will begin operational planning for jihad or a terrorist attack. These “acts in furtherance” will include planning, preparation and execution.
By the jihadization phase, small group dynamics play a much more prominent role. While during the earlier stages, the group members may have been only acquaintances, meeting each other in Salafi chat rooms, at university or simply by being friends, by the jihadization phase the group has solidified and hardened. Individuals see themselves as part a movement and group loyalty becomes paramount above all other relationships.
“Group-think” now becomes a force multiplier for radicalization and invariably paves the way for action. As action becomes a group objective, each member of the cluster is challenged to accept jihad as an individual obligation-anointing themselves as holy warriors or mujahedeen.
