Hadia Mubarak (MSA) spoke to the Student Assembly on 10/01/2007
Hadia Mubarak was the first woman and first native-born American to be elected
President to lead the National Muslim Student Association (MSA).
The MSA is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. It is well known that the MSA is operated by radicals.
They organize on American campuses spreading anti-Israel rhetoric. MSA routinly brings in extremest Muslims to speak on campuses. One example is the Taliban advisor Syed Rahmatullah Hashimi.
The list of MSA and former MSA members who have had ties to terror is impressive and alarming. Here are a few names....Anwar al-Awlaki, Ramy Zamzam, Omar Hammami, Abdurahman Alamoudi, Aafia Siddiqui, and Ramzi Yousef.
The MSA described Osama Bin Laden as a "freedom fighter," "philanthropist" and "great Mujahid."
In an article defending the Ground Zero Mosque, Hadia made the outrageous claim that there was no religious basis for 9/11.
In this video, you can see her ask for a moment of silence for the men, women, and children, who have been savagely massacred in the Gaza strip and for the "four million Palestinians who live under siege and occupation." There was no mention of the six thousand rockets fired by these men into Israel.

Ahmed Bedier (CAIR) spoke to the student Assembly on 10/6/2006 and 10/2/2009
Ahmed Bedier is such a favorite of PEA that they invited him there twice. The first was in October of 2006 then again in October of 2009. Mr. Bedier held leadership positions for the Hamas linked CAIR, including Communications Director for CAIR-Florida and Executive Director of
CAIR-Tampa.
Bedier was let go by CAIR because he was damaged goods...i.e. he was getting exposed by the media (bloggers) as being an extremest. He complained that America spies on people suspected of terrorism...“Yeah, I mean, well, if they think you’re a terrorist, then they want to watch your movement.” (WMNF, True Talk, May 23, 2008)."
At a May 27, 2004 CAIR-Tampa press conference concerning University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian, who was facing charges of aiding the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Bedier was asked:
"Do you agree with the government designation of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad as a terrorist organization?"
He responded: "We are not here to discuss the Palestinian Islamic Jihad or any other terrorist organization or any other group. We are here strictly to discuss the confinement conditions of this individual who is not in Palestine or in Israel. He is right here in Florida." In other words, he refused to call a terrorist organization what it is. Sami later pleaded guilty to the charges but is under house arrest facing other charges.
When University of South Florida students Ahmed Mohamed and Youssef Megahed were stopped by police in South Carolina in August of 2007, police found in their possession materials to make a pipe bomb. They also noticed Megahed hastily close a laptop that had been open on his lap. Bedier, CAIR-Tampa's spokesman at the time, defended the two students excusing them as nothing more than "naive kids." Bedier added that he believed the materials were only leftover fireworks that Megahed had kept in his trunk since July and emphasized that he thought "if they didn't do anything wrong they need to be released."
On his web blog, Bedier minimized the plea, saying "Mohamed chose to cut a plea to one count of material support, which carries of a maximum of 15 years in prison, rather than risk spending the REMAINDER OF HIS LIFE behind bars if convicted.

CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF trial. The HLF was raising money in America and sending it to HAMAS. Ahmed has since made a lateral movement, he is now president of the Tampa/Hillsborough County Human Rights Council (THHRC). They focus on....you guessed it, Human Rights and "Justice."
He also formed the organization United Voices for America. According to him and others in the group, UVA was established to lobby Florida lawmakers on such matters of concern as health care and education. But earlier this month, during UVA’s first big event – a trip to Tallahassee – Ahmed Bedier let slip out UVA’s real goal, to strike fear into the hearts of the legislators. At the organization’s closing rally, he stated emphatically, “We want the government to fear us.”
The real motives of UVA can be traced to two matters. One was the showings in Tallahassee of the documentary Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West by Florida lawmakers. The other is the unanimous vote that took place in the Florida legislature in favor of recognizing the 60th anniversary of Israel’s independence. In relation to the latter, Bedier is on record as stating, “I really don’t know what they gained independence from. We call it the Nakba, a disaster occupation for 60 years.”

Jamal Badawi (Muslim Brotherhood) spoke to the Student Assembly on 4/24/08
According to the FBI, Jamal Badawi is a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
He is also a founder of the Muslim American Society.
He also serves on the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) Majlis Ash-Shura, or board of directors. ISNA is listed among “individuals/entities who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood.
That's not all, he is also member of the executive committee of the Fiqh Council of North America. Its 18 members issue religious rulings, resolve disputes, and answer questions relating to the Islamic faith from a Sharia perspective. In other words, the Fiqh Council issues edicts for North American Muslims that determine what is permissible behavior...sort of a shadow government within America.
Oh by the way....Badawi was individually named as an undicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial. The HLF trial was in 2007 and the FBI proved that the foundation was raising money for HAMAS.
He was invited to speak at Phillips Exeter on Thursday, April 24th, 2008. Why would PEA invite a recently undicted co-conspirator, a man with leading positions in organizations that have so many ties to terror, to speak to the students?
Before the HLF trial, Jamal was notoriously known as the guy with the controversial views he espoused in his book Gender Equity in Islam. In the book, he promoted wife beating...."There are cases, however where a wife persists in deliberate mistreatment of her husband and disregard for her marital obligations.” Badawi described this as a “permissible beating” and “permissible striking.”
He also justifies suicide bombing in this interview.
Jamal Badawi wrote Gender Equity in Islam under the aegis of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY), an organization whose leaders have called for the destruction of Israel and the United States and who was raided in May of 2002 for alleged terror-related activity. The book was published, in 1995, by American Trust Publications (ATP), a subsidiary of North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), another "unindicted co-conspirator" of the 2007 Hamas financing trial. Aside from his ties to the fund raising for Hamas, he is listed in a telephone book of U.S.-based Muslim Brotherhood members.
Lots of important people had him on speed dial, his name was even in the phone book of Ismail Elbarrasse, an assistant to HAMAS leader Musa Abu Marzook. Ismail is remembered as the guy caught taking pictures of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in 2004.
Jamal has justified suicide bombing attacks as heroic and can be heard in the audio below saying that the establishment of Islamic Rule is mandatory!.

Josseph Massad (Columbia University) spoke to the Student Assembly on 11/27/2003
The Palestinian professor calls Israel a racist colonial-settler state.
A documentary was made about Mr. Massad by the David Project documenting. The film shows how the professor uses his classroom for Palestinian propaganda while suppressing students' pro Israel sentiments as well as accusing him with being a bully. When asked about the movie, Joseph A. Massad, said he had not seen it but added that "This is a propaganda film funded by a pro-Israel group as part of a racist witch hunt of Arab and Muslim professors." In the midst of all this controversy, Columbia University decided to grant him tenure.
There are plenty of web sites that document his anti Israel stances, most of them in his own words, like here, and the worst of all......here. His articles were removed from here.
He has made some outrageous quotes that apparently, PEA never deemed too controversial to deny a speaking engagement such as....
"Let us imagine a world where the majority of Israeli and diaspora Jews and their gentile supporters are no longer committed to Jewish supremacy."
"The history of Arab Jews who were abducted into the Zionist project late in the game is in turn irrelevant to the curricula of Israeli schools, wherein only the history of white European Jews is taught as the relevant history of all Jews."
"Many Zionist leaders (of both the Labor and Revisionist camps) collaborated with the Nazis, some up to 1941 but others as late as 1944, Sadat only supported them from afar."
"All those in the Arab world who deny the Jewish holocaust are in my opinion Zionists."
"The only thing threatening Jews is its [Israel's] commitment to Apartheid and its racist people."
"Since its emergence on the international scene, the PLO has always distinguished between Zionists and Jews."
"[I]t is the very discourse of the Gay International which produces homosexuals, as well as gays and lesbians, where they do not exist."

Ingrid Mattson (ISNA) spoke to the Student Assembly on 11/09/2004
Ingrid Mattson was also invited to Speak speak at PEA in 2004.
She claims that if you are a Muslim-American, the country can't "demand the same kind of loyalty" from you, as from non-Muslims.
She also said "There is no guarantee that Americans will rise to the challenge of defining themselves as an ethical nation."
Despite the persistent news stories of Muslims involved in terror plots on American soil, she denies the existence of terror cells in the United States.
She also stated that Wahhabism is “a reform movement” that “really was analogous to the European protestant reformation.” Anybody with just a passing knowledge of Wahhabism would find that analogy to be laughable.
Mattson teaches from the writings of the jihadists Sayyid Qutb and Syed Abu'l-`Ala Mawdudi in her course at Hartford Seminary. Sayyid Qutb was a leading theologian of the Muslim Brotherhood who was hanged by the Egyptian government in 1966 for being the leader of a group planning to assassinate the President and other Egyptian officials and personalities
Ingrid also promotes Sharia financing (soft jihad) and tries to get American's to stop using the Islam when referring to terror (apologist).
She rationalizes the Taliban and claims women rights under Islam are not oppressed and that Evangelical Christians are more a threat to Jews than Muslims.
About Israel she says...."The American government has not criticized sufficiently the brutality of the Israeli government, believing that it needs to be "supportive" of the Jewish state. The result is that oppression, left unchecked, can increase to immense proportions, until the oppressed are smothered with hopelessness and rage."

Dr. Reza Aslam (NPR contributor) spoke to the Student Assembly on 10/08/2009
On October 8th, 2009, Phillips Exeter Academy hosted notable expert in the art of takeyya, Dr. Reza Aslam
to speak in Assembly Hall.
Mr. Aslam, the self described, liberal, progressive, secularized American Muslim jokes that his Western hairstyle makes him look like less of a "bigot."
Not only does Reza write for the far left online news site The Daily Beast, and NPR, he shrills alongside the accused Taliban mourner and terrorist sympathizer, Christiane Amanopour.
By the way, Amanopour has an unauthorized facebook page dedicated to her anti-Israel bias. Anyhow' he accuses anybody who expresses concern over radical Islam of bigotry, and Islamophobia, while ignoring and dismissing the precipitous rise in Islamic terrorism.
Reza claims that if you oppose the ground zero mosque, you are a bigot.
Here is a link to his whitewashing of Islamic Jihad.
Mr. Aslam also blogs that if you oppose Sharia financing (soft Jihad), then you are part of some "wacky movement."
Mr. Aslam recently called upon Obama to negotiate with Hamas.
There are no shortage of web sites dedicated to documenting his career of whitewashing radical Islam.

Imam Abdur-Rashid (Harlem) spoke to the Student Assembly on 1/04/2008
PEA invited Abdur-Rashid to
enlighten the teenagers at the Assembly Program about radical Islam on
the 14th of January, 2008.
Al-Hajj Talib Abdur-Rashid has been the imam of the Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood, a Sunni house of worship in Harlem, New York, since 1989.
The mosque’s congregation was founded in the 1960s by followers of Malcolm X. Born a Baptist in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1951.
Abdur-Rashid was raised in the South Bronx during the social tumult and racial tensions of the 1960s.
Today, he stands in solidarity with the Palestinians and against Israel.
Mr. Rashid never leaves home without his race card. He appears to think that every opposition to Islam is based on white racism. Ask him the right question and this is his response....“They underestimated the underbelly of American society and the role that racism toward people of color has always played in American society. After Sept. 11, their artificial white privilege was revoked and they just became another kind of nigger in America, and the status quo started treating them like that.”
Here is a video of him street preaching surrounded by an apparent goon squad.
His organization MANA has "lost" over $100,000 in the last two conferences.
Imam Al-Hajj Talib ‘Abdur-Rashid is the religious and spiritual leader of The Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood Inc. 2nd Vice President of The Majlis Ash-Shura (Islamic Leadership Council) of New York, and Deputy Amir/General Secretary of MANA (The Muslim Alliance in North America). In November, 2009 the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University, listed him as one of the world’s “500 Most Influential Muslims”.

Karen Armstrong Islamic apologist, spoke at Student Assembly 11/1/2004
Armstrong compared Christianity to Islam, stating that "Islam is a religion of success. Unlike Christianity, which has as its main image, in the west at least, a man dying in a devastating, disgraceful, helpless death… Mohammed was not an apparent failure. He was a dazzling success, politically as well as spiritually, and Islam went from strength to strength to strength." Armstrong also affirms that “Until the 20th century, Islam was a far more tolerant and peaceful faith than Christianity.
Some have criticized Armstrong and Armstrong's works: in a review published in the New York Sun, historian Efraim Karsh dismissed her book, Muhammad: A Prophet for Our Time, as "thinly veiled hagiography", calling her treatment of the controversial issue of the massacres of the Banu Qurayza tribe "a travesty of the truth". Karsh also argued that Armstrong "overlooks Islam's pervasive mistreatment of its non-Muslim subjects, or Dhimmis as they are commonly known, who have been allowed to practice their religions in return for a distinctly inferior legal and institutional status, rife with social indignities and at times open persecution" and that her "ahistorical analysis" of the treatment of Jews under Islamic rule "ignores the deep anti-Jewish bigotry dating to Islam's earliest days, which made it highly receptive to the worst precepts of Christian anti-Semitism, such as the 'blood libel.'" Daniel Pipes criticized her book, Islam: A Short History, as "foully dishonest," containing "factual inaccuracies" and engaging in "moral relativism". An article by Sam Harris in the Huffington Post criticized Armstrong as an example of a Western scholar who lives in a world of "political correctness and religious apology" in obfuscating the problematic issues of Islam, while an article by Raymond Ibrahim in the National Review criticized Armstrong as an "Islamic apologist extraordinaire" who tells the reader "to ignore history and doctrine, focus on platitudes about peace and love."
