ICNA’s Overseas Ties and Lies By Joe Kaufman
“Islamic Circle of North America is a U.S. based Islamic organization. We have no relations – no links – to any organization or any country outside the United States.” These were the words of Naeem Baig, the Secretary General of ICNA, after a July 8th protest was held outside the center where ICNA and the Muslim American Society (MAS) were celebrating their 32nd Annual Convention. It was nothing more than a lie from a desperate individual attempting to cover-up his group’s terrorist connections.
The protest calling on the United States to freeze ICNA’s funds and to place Jamaat-e-Islami on the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations went on as planned. As well, the protest brought attention to bigoted and violent statements made by MAS and ICNA’s youth wing, Young Muslims. Outside the Connecticut Convention Center, in Hartford, Connecticut, signs read “SHUT ICNA DOWN,” “ICNA: DONOR TO HAMAS,” “JAMAAT-E-ISLAMI, THE ICNA-HAMAS CONNECTION,” “YOUNG MUSLIMS, YOUNG HAMAS” and “MAS: Anti-Christian, Anti-Jew, Pro-Terror, Pro-Hamas.”
