This is the same mosque where top al-Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki once preached.

Via IPT’s report on the Dar al-Hijrah Mosque:

The Department of Treasury’s Enforcement Communications System (TECS) records note that Dar al-Hijrah “is a mosque operating as a front for Hamas operatives in U.S.,” “is associated with Islamic extremists,” “has been under numerous investigations for financing and proving aid and comfort to bad orgs and members,” has “been linked to numerous individuals linked to terrorism financing,” and “has also been associated with encouraging fraudulent marriages.”

An Imam at this mosque in mid-2001, Anwar al-Awlaki (also mentioned in Rabat Mosque), is considered an important spiritual advisor for two 9/11 hijackers, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf Al-Hazmi. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the following of Awlaki on CBS’ Face the Nation on May 23, 2010:

“I think Mister Awlaki is – despite telling the world he’s a cleric, you see on videotape that he supports al Qaeda’s agenda of murder and violence. In fact, in recent videotapes, he said he’s a member of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, who has an agenda just like al Qaeda to strike targets in Yemen, throughout the world, including here in the United States.” [...]

Extremist Rhetoric

In addition to the legal cases involving these Dar al-Hijrah leaders, extremist rhetoric has peppered the mosque’s sermons and khutbahs. In a speech given by Imam Shakir El-Sayed at Dar al-Hijrah on January 9, 2009, Imam Shakir condoned the use of violence in a variety of unfavorable situations for Muslims:

“Islam does not accept peace when its communities are humiliated, when it is exploited, when it is manipulated, when our rights are taken away, when our communities are being killed or attached, the blood is being shed, then this is not time to talk about peace. It will only be time to fight back.”

Imam Shakir specified in his message that the conflict brewing in Palestine is included in the conditions that permit violence saying that, “in Palestine, in Gaza there is a war going on, there is no allowance for a Muslim in that region or in that area to sit still or call for anything other than carrying the arms..”

What? No separate resolution honoring Nidal Malik Hasan who was mentored by this mosque's Imam, Anwar al-Awlaki?

I bet a dollar most of the dopes that passed this idiocy didn't even read or understand what they were voting on.

Well, Gramma already used the face palm, so I have to use two.
