RUN THE ISA OUT OF VIRGINIA

We are back where we started with the Islamic Saudi Academy.

The Saudis have dropped their plan to develop the Popes Head Rd. site. The poor state of the economy, increased federal scrutiny of cash transfers from “middle eastern sources” to ISA, skittishness of any commercial lenders to become involved with the ISA extremists and the overall “plum, mad-dog mean” persistence of our opposition halted the radical school’s expansion.

They have feverishly been contacting private schools throughout Northern Virginia and offering huge amounts of cash for already-established schools. Now they are backed into a corner – none of the schools are apparently willing to sell. (Many schools which have been approached contacted VAST and gave us some details of the ISA offers.)

Now, we have the opportunity to make this radical, anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-Christian (to name just a few) bunch homeless. The Board of Supervisors will vote on Oct. 19 on whether or not to renew the lease of the current ISA on Route 1 in South Alexandria. If the Supervisors vote not to renew the lease then the ISA will have to find some new dark corner from which to peddle hate-based violence as it attempts to create a generation of home-grown terrorists. We need to send them packing and we can do that with this single vote.

It is important for a host of reasons but it is most important because it demonstrates that they can’t continue to buy crooked politicians and deceive the gullible into enabling the growth of domestic jihad. It must stop in Virginia and it must stop now.

Please use the attached flyer in your church, synagogue or wherever to help us building the same attendance we had the last time we fought this. This can become the first and most decisive knockout punch to the domestic jihad.

A victory over domestic jihad here in Virginia will energize and mobilize our allies in Tennessee, California, Texas, Minnesota, Florida and elsewhere to continue the struggle against hate-based violence.

All of the Saudi money and oil-based power buys a lot but it doesn’t buy the American people.

Remember the words of that great American Josey Wales:
“Now remember, things look bad and it looks like you’re not gonna make it then you gotta get mean. I mean plum, mad-dog mean… ‘Cause if you lose your head and you live up then you neither live nor win. That’s just the way it is.”

PLEASE REPRINT THE ATTACHED FLYER AND PASS IT ON TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE.

You Hold the Power to Stop Hate-based Extremism

VAST Calls for “Full Disclosure” from Fairfax Supervisors Considering Vote on Radical Saudi Academy’s Lease

Connolly Took Saudi Money While Promoting/Voting on Radical School Lease

A Virginia group has called on members of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to “fully disclose” donations they have received from groups and individuals with an interest in the October 19 hearing on the renewal of the lease of the radical Islamic Saudi Academy on Route 1.

James Lafferty of the Virginia Anti-Shariah Task Force (VAST) said in a letter to each Supervisor that he was concerned because former Board Chairman Gerry Connolly received numerous contributions to his Congressional campaign as he was shepherding the last ISA lease renewal through the board and attacking opponents.

An Associated Press report on June 17, 2008 stated: “The board’s chairman Gerry Connolly, the Democratic nominee for Congress in Virginia’s 11th District offered a strong defense of the school and accused critics of slander during the meeting in which the lease was approved.”

“Connolly should have recused himself from the process but instead he carried the water for the Islamist radicals and cashed a lot of their checks,” said Lafferty. “Many of the contributions were to his Congressional campaign but , at least, one of them was not reported to the Federal Elections Commission.

“We are asking each Board member to check his/her records and if they have accepted contributions from any entity connected to the ISA and that includes

2-2-2

CAIR, the Islamic Society of North America and any other Islamist groups and any individuals or officials of any of the local mosques, we are asking them to comply with the law and recuse themselves. “

While promoting the last ISA lease renewal in 2008, Connolly received the following support from those with a strong interest in the radical school operated by the Saudi government:

Nihad Awad donated $500 on January 24, 2008. Awad is a founder of CAIR and stated in a 1994 speech in Florida “After I researched the situation inside and outside Palestine, I am in support of the Hamas movement.”

Yaqub Mirza gave $1,000 on January 12, 2008. Mirza is a prominent leader in the Safa group, a radical Islamist operation in Northern Virginia. Congressman Andre Carson (D-Indiana), a Muslim, returned a Mirza donation to his campaign.

Hisham al-Talib gave $1,000 on January 24, 2008. Al Talib is another Safa leader.

Arab-American Leadership PAC, a group funded partially by the radical Muslim Brotherhood, donated $2,000 during the 2008 cycle.

Connolly also received $18,758 from Qorvis Communications in 2006 through 2008, according to published reports. Qorvis represents the Saudi government. Its Washington and Virginia offices were raided by the FBI after the 9/11 attacks. The embassy of the Saudi government is listed as the owner/operator of the ISA.

“Connolly was busy cashing checks and shilling for the Saudis but we didn’t find out about it until after the vote was taken and after he had called the citizen opposition ‘slanderers’ and ‘bigots’.

“Shortly after the vote was taken, Connolly called on the State Department to investigate the ISA. He tried to have it a variety of ways.

“We want to ensure that no other Board member follows his scurrilous example and gets purchased, leased or rented by the Saudis and their radical operatives.”
