The Nazi-Islamist alliance is thriving in Boca Raton, Florida, where notorious white supremacist antisemite William Baker will speak at an event sponsored by the radical Assidiq Islamic Educational Foundation.

On April 30, the Assidiq Islamic Educational Foundation (AIEF), an Islamic center in Boca Raton, is hosting an event commemorating the “prophet” Mohammed at the Boca Marriott Hotel. The featured speaker for the event is William Baker, a man whose anti-Jewish works and statements have won him accolades throughout the white supremacist movement.

In 1984, Baker was Chairman of the Populist Party, a Neo-Nazi organization founded by Holocaust denier Willis Carto. Baker’s book, Theft of a Nation, sports a cover depicting a Jew carrying, on his back, a container holding the state of Israel, which Baker claims in his book the Jews stole from the Palestinians. Baker writes: “The entire country of Palestine has been ‘taken’ by political Zionists, and it would seem the entire world has believed, supported and participated in the ‘theft’ of an entire country from an entire nation.”Why would the AIEF choose to bring a notorious anti-Semite like Baker to an event in an area that houses a very large Jewish population? A glimpse at the center’s background and ideology may provide some answers.
 
The Assidiq Islamic Educational Foundation incorporated in February of 2005 and has been in existence for just over a year. Its founder and Imam, Sayed Mohammad Jawad Al-Qazwini, only 23 years of age, was born in Iran and moved to Florida by way of California, where members of his family operate numerous other Islamic centers.
 
These centers were built by his grandfather, Ayatollah Sayid Mortadha Al-Qazwini, currently the head of the shrine in Karbala, Iraq. Karbala is the place where Imam Hussein bin Ali, the revered grandson of the “prophet” Mohammed, is said to have been murdered by Sunni Muslim rivals. Assidiq is the third Islamic center to open in the city of Boca Raton, the other two being the Islamic Center of Boca Raton and the Assalam Center. Unlike the latter two centers, Assidiq is a Shi’ite mosque, with a mostly Iranian and Iraqi influence. But like the other two, Assidiq brings with it a radical element.
 
On the Audio Library section of Assidiq’s website, along with an animated graphic of dripping blood (apparently taken from another site glorifying the barbaric custom of pounding oneself over the head with swords until blood flows), there are a series of (what used to be) downloadable lectures made by Sayed Mohammad Jawad Al-Qazwini. In one dated February 12, 2005, titled “The concept of war through an Islamic perspective,” Al-Qazwini said the following:
 
“And until today, people do not seem to be able to forget what happened on [September 11, 2001]. It’s very hurtful. But who suffered the most after that attack? Immediately, if you turned on a TV set, and they started mentioning the names of those who were involved in the attack, the Muslims and American Muslims started suffering right away…The American Muslims were suffering the most, and they’re still suffering. They’re not comfortable. And that is because of the lack of understanding of Islam in this country. Brothers and sisters, this is our country.”
