According to the New York Daily News, Democratic candidate Wesley Clark sought the political support of the Muslim American Society and the Islamic Circle of North America—two Muslim groups that have been linked to terrorism by numerous sources, and are currently under investigation by the FBI: Clark appealed to group suspected of terror link. (Hat tip: Morgan.)
The Democratic presidential candidate’s videotaped message was played Dec. 27 in Chicago for the annual conference of the Muslim American Society and the Islamic Circle of North America - a Queens group being probed by the FBI counterterrorism agents, said two federal law enforcement officials.Both groups have held conferences featuring speakers accused of terror ties and have published material supporting suicide bombings against Israel.
Clark campaign spokesman Matt Bennett said yesterday they were unaware of the allegations or the FBI probe.
If that last statement is true, what does it say about how seriously Clark is taking the war on terrorism? He didn’t know?
