Islamic Society of Tulsa spokewoman praised Anwar al-Awlaki in 2007!

In 2007,  Allison Moore, a spokeswoman for the Islamic Society of Tulsa,  stood before a meeting organized by Tulsa Truth, a local 9/11 conspiracy theorist group,  and spoke for thirty minutes on two different occasions.  The video segment below is from her January 2007 talk which has been available on the Internet since 2007.  She actually praised Yemen-based Anwar al-Awlaki (Aulaqi) and said our big bad government took away his citizenship - which I don't believe is accurate   Al-Awlaki is the U.S. born Imam who has now been linked to al-Qaeda, the Ft. Hood attack and the Christmas day bomber.  He had been on the radar of the FBI for years and slipped out of the country - yet Moore praised him and spoke of the large following he had here.  Is it safe to assume she had no clue why the FBI had an interest in him?  If she didn't have a clue, shouldn't she had been smarter to make sure abaut him before she took his side and blamed our government?  

Moore went on to complain how poorly many Muslims were treated - when hundreds were rounded up and some detained for years after 9/11, she said.  Jose Padilla was mentally gone after we allegedly tortured him, she claimed. Yet, Padilla was convicted for his terrorist activities.  Where does she get her information?  Then, she went on to say there aren't a lot of terrorists here because we aren't finding them, which is totally inaccurate.  She also said the media in recent years paints all mainstreams Muslims as fanatics - also completely inaccurate.  Moore's perception of reality is bizarre.

Moore, a Muslim convert and the daughter of a veteran, appears to have very strong anti-American opinions which could be the tip of the iceberg of anti-government sentiment prevalent among the hard-line Tulsa Muslim community - and that scares me and it should you, too. 

I can see why the FBI watches over them closely, as she said.

Then,  to thank the Tulsa 9/11 conspiracy theorists, CAIR Oklahoma and the Islamic Society of Tulsa actually gave three of its members their 2007 Goodwill Appreciation award!

Why do you think the U.S. wants to kills you? 

"...Because I am a Muslim and I promote Islam. The charge is "incitement"; my relationships with Nidal Hasan, Umar Farouk and some 9/11 attackers, and now I am accused of being linked to 14 cases. All this comes as part of the attempt to liquidate the voices that call for defending the rights of the Umma [Muslim nation]. -- they want an Islam that recognises the occupation and deals with it, they want an Islam that has no sharia ruling, no jihad and no Islamic caliphate. We call for the Islam that was sent by Allah to Prophet Muhammad, the Islam of jihad and sharia ruling..."

There are many fine Muslims in America who simply want to practice their religion quietly, privately and go about their business. They reject Islamism - the pursuit of power to gain a stronghold for Islamic rule. They reject Islamic activism.  They openly oppose the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) its affiliate Hamas, their affilates and supporters in the U.S., Hizb ut Tahrir, and others such Islamic supremacist organizations.  But, when a Muslim or any Islamic organization uses community service and interfaith efforts in cities and towns all across America to gain acceptance but calls critics of Islamic supremacist movements bigots while they openly or covertly support these Islamic supremacist movements, it's disturbing, two-faced and deceptive.

If you believe Awlaki is connected to Al-Qaeda, then I suggest you read the following:
