Islam in Oklahoma

[kakie]

I did a search and there wasn't one on this subject.  To jumpstart the discussion, I found it quite interesting to find out one of the defendants in the Holy Land Foundation trial went to OSU and use to live in Oklahoma.  His name is Mufid Abdulqader. As I understand it he worked for the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.  His brother, or half-brother is a top leader in Hamas.

For those who haven't followed this trial, this charity was the largest Islamic charity in the country until the government shut it down in 2004.  It was shut down for sending millions to Hamas and was located in Richarson, Texas.  The prosecutors rested their case last week and perhaps, in the end,  the jury will determine all charged are innocent. Time will tell, of course.

Has anyone seen the video made in Oklahoma City in or around 1992 which was pro-Palenstine and yes to jihad by this defendant?  I read about it but was wondering if anyone knows if it is on the web somewhere.  I think it might have been shown in the trial but I'm not sure.

He is apparently cursing a Jew and in the end finishes the argument by shooting him.  Not sure if this is the one in OKC... but same guy anyway.

Thanks for the link.  I'm not sure it is the one done in Oklahoma.  I'm still trying to find out.  I don't give up easily.

What about this post on zTruth?

CAIR Pushes to Get Islam into Oklahoma Public Schools
Recently,  the new chapter of the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Oklahoma was reported as giving a presentation to the Oklahoma School Boards Association and offering them plenty of material to bring Islam into the public schools in Oklahoma.

I didn't find this article in any newspaper in Oklahoma, oh no, I found this article on Islamonline, a Dubai based Islamic internet site which is owned, in part, by a Muslim scholar, Yusuf al-Qaradawi.  It was submitted to them by CAIR.  Now why would this little bitty news story be picked up across the world, in the Middle East and why did CAIR submit it?

I think what is more upsetting, is the people of Okla that don't think these folks weren't behind the OKC Bombing.
