9/11 Whitewash Watch

Here are just two from the seemingly endless flood of articles intended to reassure the American public that Islam is a Religion of Peace™ (and that anyone with a different opinion is a bigoted Islamophobic knuckle-dragger), as the anniversary of the 9/11 atrocities approaches:

About a woman who had relatives killed in the attacks, but then converted to Islam: Faith’s friction.

About Muzammil Siddiqi, the imam of the Orange County Islamic Center when Al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn converted to Islam: September 11 – Five years later: ‘A double pain for Muslims’.

This one makes no mention of Siddiqi’s radical statements. Here’s the context that mainstream media never seems to think is important:

Siddiqi has accompanied visiting Saudi officials from the Muslim World League on fund-raising tours across America, and is listed on its Website as the organization’s official representative in the United States. Offices of the Muslim World League in Herndon, Va., were raided by a federal antiterrorism task force in March 2002 because of suspected ties to al-Qaeda.

During an anti-Israel rally outside the White House on Oct. 28, 2000, Siddiqi openly threatened the United States with violence if it continued its support of Israel. “America has to learn … if you remain on the side of injustice, the wrath of God will come. Please, all Americans. Do you remember that? … If you continue doing injustice, and tolerate injustice, the wrath of God will come.” By “injustice,” he meant U.S. support for Israel.

Siddiqi also has called for a wider application of sharia law in the United States, and in a 1995 speech praised suicide bombers. “Those who die on the part of justice are alive, and their place is with the Lord, and they receive the highest position, because this is the highest honor,” he was quoted as saying by the Kansas City Star on Jan. 28, 1995.
