Mosques’ Terror Role - HUMAN EVENTS

Mosques’ Terror Role - HUMAN EVENTS: "Mosques have been used extensively by al-Qaeda operatives and other Islamic terrorists to recruit, finance operations and train zealots to commit attacks—a fact often ignored by advocates of building a huge Muslim religious center in the shadow of Ground Zero in New York.

The documented involvement of mosques in terror helps explain why so many Americans, over 60% in most polls, opposed putting a $100 million mosque and Islamic center on the hallowed ground where nearly 3,000 innocent people were murdered by al Qaeda.

'Americans are often appalled by the intolerance, anti-Semitism, and anti-American arguments taught in schools and preached in mosques,' stated the 2004 landmark 9/11 commission report.

One of the most famous examples of a mosque-as-terror center is the al Quds in Hamburg, Germany. It was in that mosque that leaders of the September 11 attacks, including Mohammed Atta, met, were radicalized and put in touch with Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan.

Earlier this month, the German government shut down the mosque.
