The Terror-Supporting Muslim Down The Block In Ohio
Patrick Poole writes on PJM:

Last week my PJM colleague Barry Rubin noted that Egyptian shiekh Dr. Salah Sultan had issued a fatwa earlier this month at a Muslim Brotherhood rally in front of the Israeli embassy in Cairo authorizing that "every Muslim who meets a Zionist is entitled to kill him." He also noted that I have written extensively on Sultan. Why so much attention paid to this individual, you may ask?

Because he used to be my neighbor.

That's right. Prior to Sultan being denied U.S. citizenship and later being denied reentry into the United States because of his advocacy of violence against the U.S., he lived in my own hometown of Hilliard, Ohio, not a mile from my own house. In fact, he still owns his home and some of his family still reside here. His oldest son, Mohamed, is the president of the Ohio State Muslim Student Association.

When I wrote my first article about Salah Sultan in April 2006, noting his close association to Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yousef Al-Qaradawi and his many public statements promoting anti-Jewish blood libels, I was attacked by my own hometown newspaper, the Columbus Dispatch, as a racist, bigot and Islamophobe in an article written by religion reporter Felix Hoover.

Several prominent Islamic organizations and the Interfaith Association of Central Ohio launched a smear campaign attacking me, including the Islamic school in Hilliard that had employed Sultan as their religious director, enlisting the Dispatch to defend the school and portraying Sultan as a peaceful moderate, not the racist, terror-supporting Muslim Brotherhood cleric that I claimed he was.

Wishful thinking. Far too much of that going around by people who want to believe that Islam is just another religion rather than what it is: a totalitarian system masquerading as a religion, and the closest you can get to living in the dark ages without getting into a working time machine:

Poole continues:

But with his recent fatwa authorizing the killing of Jews, and his public call last Friday on Al-Jazeera for the assassination of the Israeli ambassador to Egypt, I think we can safely lay to rest any claims that Salah Sultan is a peaceful moderate; and consider myself vindicated that, yes, my former neighbor really is a racist, terror-supporting Muslim Brotherhood cleric.
