Robert Spencer reports that the Florida Islamic group that invited neo-Nazi William Baker to speak at its function has not cancelled the appearance.
A day after a lawyer representing an Islamic group said William Baker probably would not appear at a gala Saturday night, Mohammad Jawad Al-Qazwini said Wednesday he didn't plan to cancel Baker's speech.
"The decision made on our behalf to bring Mr. Baker was not against the Jewish community," said Al-Qazwini, the imam of the Boca Raton-based Assadiq Islamic Educational Foundation. "He will be strictly speaking about the prophet Mohammed. He will be strictly speaking about the Islamic faith."...
"Now, Mr. Mussolini, if you would only confine your talk to train scheduling, we would be happy to invite you..."*
