It might only be the shores of Lake Erie, but the Muslim Brotherhood has established an invasion beachhead in Toledo.
The most recent landing by the international Islamic extremist organization was last weekend when the Muslim American Society (MAS) – the ideological arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the US, identified as such by the Department of Justice in a court filing back in December – held a conference at the University of Toledo.
Perhaps it’s no coincidence that the Department of Homeland Security recently added Toledo to the list of high-risk terrorism areas.
Among the speakers were national MAS leaders Esam Omeish and Mahdi Bray, respectively the MAS president and head of their Virginia Commission on Immigration just weeks after his appointment. According to a September 28, 2007 article in the Washington Post, Omeish was forced out when a video surfaced of Omeish preaching holy war against Israel at a December 22, 2000, Jerusalem Day rally in Washington D.C., where he said:
...you have learned the way, that you have known that the jihad way is the way to liberate your land...and we shall do everything we can to help your cause.
Upon learning of Omeish's recorded call for jihad and his endorsement of suicide bombings, Virginia legislators quickly lined up calling for his resignation from the state commission.

This shows the importance of background checks for high level appointments. Or any appointment for that matter. Imagine if Omeish was still head of the Virginia Commission on Immigration. Scary thought.
Thanks to all in the blogosphere Omeish was exposed.
