Here we have yet another Islamic cleric in the United States preaching jihad, Holocaust denial, and support for suicide bombing—Muhammad Al-Asi of the Islamic Center in Washington, DC. Robert Spencer notes that Al-Asi is not Saudi-influenced; he’s a Khomeini-ite. When it comes to killing infidels, militant Shi’ites and Sunnis are in perfect agreement: Jihad Watch: D.C. imam glorifies Khomeini, justifies suicide bombing, preaches Islamic supremacism.

In recorded lectures on this page at The Islamic Center web site, he lavishes praise on Khomeini and justifies suicide bombing.

This isn’t the first time Al-Asi has been the subject of an LGF post.

Here’s video from MEMRI TV showing Al-Asi on an Iranian 9/11 television special, accusing the US government of carrying out the September 11 attacks. This guy has been at it for years, and the US government remains blithely unconcerned.

And even though he is clearly an enemy of America, he still has the brazen chutzpa to complain about America’s “Islamophobia.” (PDF document from the second annual conference of the Muslim Congress in Houston, Texas.)

Presenter: “According to initial speculations, Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden himself were identified as the main culprits [in 9/11]. Further expert analysis, however, raised other possibilities.” …

Muhammad Al-’Asi, former head of the Islamic Center, Washington, D.C.: “The events of 9/11 were planned by the American administration, to be used as a pretext and justification to fight terrorism.” …

French author Thierry Meyssan: “Organizing acts of terrorism on such a scale and with such precision would not have been possible without the aid of American administration bodies, such as the White House and the Pentagon.” …

“Donald Rumsfeld said, several days prior to 9/11, that a tremendous, unique disaster was going to occur. He said he was wishing for such a thing to happen, so that there would be a national leap and so that he would be able to carry out his policy.” …

David Musa Pidcock, leader of the Islamic Party of Britain: “Pearl Harbor was similar to 9/11 in that they were both planned in advance. Twelve days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, [U.S. Secretary of War] Stimson, one of America’s lords of war, went to the White House with several navy commanders, and talked about the war against Japan. The question was how they could trick the Japanese into firing the first shot, without any great danger being directed against the Americans. Therefore, the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 was similar to what happened on 9/11. We know very well that it was planned with precision.”

Here’s the recording of Al-Asi ranting about the Holocaust (audio only). (Hat tip: markedmanner.)
