An email update from Americans for Peace and Tolerance:
Our allies in Florida have just released a video showing the Executive Director of the Muslim American Society (MAS) Freedom Foundation Mahdi Bray and British MP George Galloway raising money for Hamas at the Islamic Society of Central Florida in February 2009. The event raised $55,000 and contributed to a total haul of over $1 million, which, as the video documents, was given by Galloway directly to Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh.
A part of that $1 million came from Boston - Galloway was here as well for an event at the MAS-affiliated Palestinian Center for Peace, which sold tickets for a private reception with Galloway for $1000 per person. You can see his Boston speech here. www.peaceops.net
Galloway has been banned from Canada for his Hamas-supporting activities. And this June, the Supreme Court upheld a law making it a crime to provide any material support to designated terrorist groups like Hamas. I urge you to contact your representatives and ask them to investigate whether Mahdi Bray, the MAS, and Boston's Palestinian Center for Peace had broken Federal law by raising funds for George Galloway's Hamas aid mission.
Ah! That islamofascist-phlic scottish scumbag george gallowsway.
That reminds me of the scottish "compassion" for the bomber of Pan Am 103, who was released from a scottish prison...

There's some good stuff in the video, but it's too over the top, so that it seems like it comes from wackos. Beck and Gaffney and Fox are not convincing except to true believers. Convincing spokespeople could make this case much stronger in my view, including to liberals who tune out when Beck tunes in. Just an observation.
I could have used a little less background about the Muslim Brotherhood and such so that the video was shorter and more to the point, but you can't speak to every audience at once if you know what I mean.
Yep. I do.
As Sol says "you can't speak to every audience at once", but who would you get to speak if not for those three?
Certainly no mainstream journolist type is going to make the point and none of the networks would have provided video.
I don't think that they are mainstream, particularly Beck, but have a thing for power above all else. Gaffney, perhaps, has some redeeming values, but I would fear for the bill of rights under their leadership.
It's the same on both sides. Really flawed because the more extreme elements hold disproportionate power.
As for answers, who knows? It's almost past the point to matter. It does not change the point that the extremists in the video don't help change the audiences that are not already in agreement.
The biggest problem is saudi arabia. Our "best muslim friend in the middle east".
GWB permitted and played along with saudi duplicity. That has to stop.
As long as saudi arabia is permitted to build and fund and inculcate radical islam in mosques in the US, while prohibiting any non-Muslim house of worship in saudi arabia, brakes must be applied.
Hold saudi arabia to US standards.
The US is facing a mortal danger allowing saudi financed islamofascist ideology to spread in the US.
Opposing the 9/11 mosque is an important step in stopping the spread of wahabbi, islamofascism.
