Storm Track Intimidation: I’m Shocked! Shocked!

From the Lone Star Times in Houston. It seems that an ‘innocent’ Muslim and his family were detained a few months ago at the Canadian border when he drove back from Canada through Niagara Falls. Yasir Qadhi said he is routinely detained whenever he enters the country. Qadhi said his name is on a ‘terrorist watch list’ (you know, that secret anti-Muslim role of honor that the government keeps and won’t let anyone see if their name appears on the list) and had no idea how he got on the list.

“The main problem the Muslim community has … is the presumption of guilt,” said Qadhi, a Houston imam, community leader and a doctoral candidate at Yale University. “It is the singling out of people just because of their looks or their identity.”

BTW: The word imam should tip you off to what comes next.

So the Lone Star Times reporter tapped into the vast counter-terrorism database and saw what he learned about Mr. Qadhi.

In his 2001 Tafsir (exegesis) of Surah Yusuf (Joseph Surah) Qadhi embarks on a history of the Jews and how, according to Islamic theology, Jews incurred God’s wrath and lost any claim to the Land of Israel. However, Islamic theology appears to be insufficient to make his case. Qadhi also resorts to anti-Semitic mythology - the “Khazar canard”, to be precise - claiming the majority of European Jews are not descended from the Bani Israil (Children of Israel), but from a Turkic tribe whose leaders converted to Judaism in the Middle Ages. This myth has been used by Christian-identity cultists, as well as Muslim propagandists to disqualify any link between the majority of modern-day Jews and the Land of Israel.

Having done just that, Qadhi alleges that Sephardic Jews add a letter in brackets to their names attesting their ‘purity of race’, as opposed to the Ashkenazi they consider to be “impure filthy Jews”. Turning his attention away from these ‘anthropological’ considerations, Qadhi addresses the Holocaust: […] All of these Polish Jews which Hitler was supposedly trying to exterminate, that’s another point, by the way, Hitler never intended to mass-destroy the Jews. There are a number of books out on this written by Christians, you should read them. The Hoax of the Holocaust (3), I advise you to read this book and write this down, the Hoax of the Holocaust, a very good book. All of this is false propaganda and I know it sounds so far-fetched, but read it. The evidences [sic] are very strong. And they’re talking about newspaper articles, clippings, everything and look up yourself what Hitler really wanted to do. We’re not defending Hitler, by the way, but the Jews, the way that they portray him, also is not correct.

The Lone Star Times listed an mp3 of Qahdi spouting this crap here. And why do yo suppose Qadhi is on a terrorist watch list? The Lone Star Times says, and I quote:

“….being a Holocaust-denying conspiracy-theory-mongering freakazoid with an advanced degree in the Saudi-Wahhabist extremism that fueled the hijackers on 9/11 might perk up the ears of even the dimmest analyst sitting in the bowels of DHS headquarters.”

‘nuff said.
