Muhammad Hussein Fadhlallah: We say to President Bush: You have succeeded in becoming the most barbaric model of tyranny, because you and your despicable, extremist administration continue to threaten the Middle East, and to indiscriminately accuse those who oppose your policy, using ludicrous logic when talking about the danger Iran poses to America. All the while, everybody knows that the [real] danger is to the entire world, and comes from the imperialistic American power, with its plans for more than just a preemptive war. This is especially true now, with the commemoration of the events of 9/11, which were exploited by the American administration in order to impose its domination over the world, while everyone can see that these events were not subjected to any legal process. It's been said that the Jews and some American powers may be behind this. But they concealed this very well. Everybody can see that these events were not subjected to any legal process in America, which would determine clearly who is responsible.

In a September 10, 2006 appearance on an Iranian Channel 2 TV special, Muhammad Al-Asi, who is affiliated with the Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought, accused the U.S. government of carrying out the September 11 attacks.

Al-Asi is active in Islamic organizations and participates in Muslim conferences throughout the world and in the U.S. For instance, earlier this month he presented his paper, titled "Islamophobia: Its Causes and Cures," at the second annual conference of the Muslim Congress. According to the conference's brochure, the Muslim Congress is an "organization of the united Muslims of North America."(1)

Al-Asi has a history of making accusatory statements against the U.S., Israel, and Jews. In remarks he made prior to the Gulf War in 1990, that were aired in the November 1994 PBS documentary Jihad in America with terrorism expert Steve Emerson, Al-Asi said: "If Americans are placing their forces in the Persian Gulf, we should be creating another war front for the Americans in the Muslim world – specifically where American interests are concentrated."...
