'I'm No Osama. Just Ask My Mama'

Wow, this is really lame. Bringing your mommy in to vouch for you and claim you're not a terror supporter when the evidence show that, well, you are.

That's the lame stunt pulled yesterday by the pathetic Brooklyn Imam Siraj Wahhaj.
I'm no Osama. Just ask my mama.

That's the argument Brooklyn Imam Siraj Wahhaj made yesterday in an effort to prove that neither he nor the controversial Islamic subway-ad campaign he's promoting has anything to do with terrorism.

"If she says I'm a terrorist, I am a terrorist," Wahhaj said, calling his mother up to the microphone at a press conference at his Bedford-Stuyvesant mosque. "What do you say, Mom?"

Gloria Sage looked at her son, who was born Jeffrey Kearse, and dutifully said, "No way."

Wahhaj blasted the Post for Monday's front-page story about the ads, set to appear in 1,000 subway cars come September.

He conceded that his name appeared on a list of unindicted co-conspirators linked to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, that he has called the FBI and the CIA "the real terrorists," and that he hopes all Americans will eventually be "persuaded" to become Muslim.
That last part is noteworthy since just yesterday, Ibrahim Hooper of CAIR, another group of unindicted terror co-conspirators went on national television and blatantly lied that Wahhaj was not an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 attack.

Stunning, isn't it, that Dougie Hooper would lie through his teeth?

Jihadi Training Day on NYC Subways

I'm sure this will go over really well in New York, especially on the anniversary of 9/11.
Allah board!

An Islamic group plans to blitz 1,000 subway cars with advertisements this September in a campaign being promoted by a Brooklyn imam whom federal officials have linked to a plot to blow up city landmarks.

The group says its mission is to explain the true nature of Islam to non-Muslims who believe the religion is bent on acts of violence - but Siraj Wahhaj, the inflammatory imam who appears in a promotional YouTube video for the project, has defended convicted bomb-plotters and called the FBI and CIA the "real terrorists."

US Attorney Mary Jo White even named Wahhaj one of 170 unindicted co-conspirators in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the thwarted plan to blow up a slew of buildings.
Makes you woinder what this mutant is doing loose on the streets.

I guess he's a moderate follower of the Religion of Peace cvonsidering his rhetoric.
"In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing, and the only thing that will remain will be Islam," Wahhaj said in one of his sermons.

The stark, black-and-white ads of the Subway Project promote Islam with the goals of clearing up long-held misconceptions about the faith and reaching out to those interested in becoming Muslim, according to the Islamic Circle of North America, the group behind the campaign.

Timed to run during the month of Ramadan, the ads come in pairs, reading "Q: Prophet Muhammad?" or "Q: Islam?" and the corresponding answer is always "A: You deserve to know."

Those interested in knowing more are directed to call (877) WHY-ISLAM or to visit whyislam.org, which provide literature that teaches and proselytizes about the faith.

The group insists it is not looking to transform subway cars into the "G-had train."

"Anyone who looks at this ad objectively can see that it is not preaching anything," Azeem Khan, the group's assistant secretary general, told The Post. "There is a lot of Islamaphobia out there. We provide people with a chance to speak with an actual Muslim who is informed."

Wahhaj, imam of Al-Taqwa mosque, is a former member of the Nation of Islam and was the first Muslim to give an invocation at the House of Representatives.

Formal charges were never filed against him by White, although he did serve as a character witness for the defense in the trial of Omar Abdel-Rahman, "the blind sheik" who is now serving a life sentence for his role in plotting the 1993 WTC bombings.
Here's a shocker. Turns out Wahaj is a member of the Hamas connected, unindicted teror conspirators from CAIR.
According to Salon.com, in a 1991 speech before the Islamic Association of North Texas, Wahhaj called Operation Desert Storm "one of the most diabolical plots ever in the annals of history," and predicted that America will fall unless it "accepts the Islamic agenda." He has openly expressed his desire to see the American government replaced with a caliphate.
