Remarks of Jerry Gordon: Anti-Terror Coalition Press conference on Muslim Florida Capitol Day

Comments of Bob Spencer on the Occasion of the Anti-Terror Conference on Muslim Florida Capitol Day, Tallahasee, Florida, March 10, 2009

“80 Percent of US Mosques are Saudi controlled. Saudis spread their ideology where they give money. Their ideology is Sharia - replacing the US Constitution with Islamic law is their goal. Islamic law denies equality of rights to women and religious minjoritied and denies freedom of speech and freedom of conscience.”

Ahmed Bedier has made a remarkable transformation from a decidedly secular Muslim to a radical one. The son of highly educated Egyptian professional parents, he grew up in the US. He had the benefits of an education in the Western secular tradition and a collegiate career as an athlete. Perhaps propelled to do something about perceived derision of fellow American Muslims following 9/11 he was energized to leave his real estate development career and became a highly articulate spokesperson and defender of Muslim causes. He figured most prominently as an unofficial spokesperson for convicted felon, former University of South Florida Professor, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terror financier, Sami Al Arian. He found “nothing immoral” about the PIJ and Hamas were doing in Gaza and the West Bank. Later he would include Hezbollah in that charmed circle.

Bedier’s transformation to radical Islam and rise to prominence as a CAIR spokesperson was no accident. Rather it was the product of his association with the Islamic Society of Pinellas County (ISPC), an al Farooq Mosque. Two investigations in 2005 by Joe Kaufman and 2008 by David Gaubatz have demonstrated that the Mosque is a conduit for extremist Islamic views and denial of the human rights of unbelievers, prominent among them, Christians and Jews. It is surprising that both Jewish and Christian clergy and even an FBI Special agent in Tampa - St. Petersburg hold Bedier in high regard for his Muslim community outreach and interreligious dialogue. His membership on a local Human Rights Council, in their views, overlooks his public statements supporting Islamic terror groups, Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad that deny basic human and civil rights under our Constitution.

  2. “The description “Salafi” is the name of a group of Muslims who try as hard as they can to imitate the Blessed Prophet in every aspect of life. Sometimes it may seem that the Salafis emphasize the laws and punishments of Islam so much that they make you feel there is no Islamic love and mercy. This is because they are sometimes very zealous in their views. A true Salafi values Tawhid, singling out Allah in all acts of worship: in supplication, in seeking aid, in seeking refuge in times of ease and hardship, in sacrifice, in making vows, in fearing and hoping and total reliance, and so on. A true Salafi actively seeks to remove shirk (polytheism) with all his capacity. They tend to be conservative on women’s issues. The Salafi Da’wah is that of the Qur’an and the Sunnah. It is claimed to be the Religion of Islam - pure and free from any additions, deletions or alterations.”

    “The description “Orthodox Judaism” is the name of a group of Jews who try as hard as they can to imitate their rebbes in every aspect of life. Sometimes it may seem that the Orthodox emphasize the laws and punishments of Judaism so much that they make you feel there is no Jewish love and mercy. This is because they are sometimes very zealous in their views. A true Orthodox values Talmud, singling out Adonai in all acts of worship: in supplication, in seeking aid, in seeking refuge in times of ease and hardship, in sacrifice, in making vows, in fearing and hoping and total reliance, and so on. A true Orthodox Jew actively seeks to remove shirk (polytheism) with all his capacity. They tend to be conservative on women’s issues. The Shulchan Aruch is thone and only way of following the Mishnah and the Gemarah. It is claimed to be the Religion of Judaism - pure and free from any additions, deletions or alterations.”

    Notice the incredible difference between the two
