Caught. “Muslim leader implodes on air: Key critic of Rep. Sue Myrick exposed as radical by radio jock,” from WorldNetDaily, February 28 (thanks to all who sent this in):
A Muslim leader who has tried to portray the founder of the Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus in Washington as an extremist “hatemonger” was himself exposed as an extremist on a popular radio program.
For years, Jibril Hough has represented himself and his North Carolina mosque as “moderate,” while putting Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., on the defensive as an anti-Muslim fanatic who “shoots from the hip” when sounding the alarm about homegrown Islamic terrorism. Myrick, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, co-founded the Capitol Hill caucus after 9/11 to educate Americans about the growing threat from jihadists.
But during an in-studio interview Friday with Charlotte radio personality Keith Larson of WBT-AM, Hough was confronted with documents revealing his mosque – the Islamic Center of Charlotte – is owned and controlled by an organization connected to a plot to funnel millions of dollars to Islamic terrorists.
The North American Islamic Trust holds the deed to ICC, an 800-member Sunni mosque located on five acres at 1700 Progress Lane in Charlotte. The U.S. Justice Department recently blacklisted its owner NAIT as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror finance case in U.S. history. The government also identified NAIT as a front for Hamas and the radical Muslim Brotherhood in America.
Saudi-funded NAIT owns the title to hundreds of radical mosques across the country, including the notorious 9/11 mosque in Northern Virginia – Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center (deed) – which helped some of the hijackers obtain housing and IDs and also counseled the Fort Hood terrorist and several other known terrorists.
Hough, ICC’s spokesman, at first expressed surprise when confronted with the information, claiming he’d never before seen the deed and did not know NAIT was named in a federal terror probe.
“I’m not aware of this information here,” he said, reviewing the documents.
Pressed by Larson, the ICC spokesman later admitted NAIT is the “parent” of his mosque, but quickly added that he was not a member of the mosque when NAIT took control in 1992.
“I was not involved in the decision to allow NAIT to be the (title) holder,” he said.
Asked if he were a member of NAIT, Hough paused before answering: “Not necessarily.”
Larson said it looked as if his mosque was acting as a “front” for an organization tied to terrorism, and wondered why Hough was not more concerned.
“It’s concerning, yes,” Hough conceded.
“To everybody else it looks not just concerning but absolutely damning,” the host responded. “Do you understand that?”
“What else can I say?” Hough said.
“Will you disassociate yourself” from NAIT? Larson asked.
“I told you I was going to look into it and was going to take it to my board,” Hough snapped….
