Florida Islamic Conference Outed As Jihad-Fest
2003-12-19
Very long article, go read the whole thing. Just a few lines:
Set against such rumination we consider the new Universal Heritage Foundation - situated in Orlando’s tourist corridor – which will on Friday December 19, give locals an opportunity to combine both the fun of the Magic Kingdom with Islamic fundamentalism and the Muslim Caliphate.
Now there is a mental picture.
Located just 15 miles from Disney World, the 31 acre campus of the Universal Heritage Foundation is sponsoring its “Islam for Humanity“ inaugural conference, which is expected to draw thousands of Muslims to Kissimmee Florida.
Happening today, folks.
Editor’s note: As we go to press, the final location of the conference - like many of the other facts surrounding the story - seems to be in flux. Reports have been circulated that now the event will be held at a site in Oseola, Florida called the Oseola Heritage Park, apparently having been moved - unexpectedly - from its original location, the UHF Center itself. Various reasons for the sudden venue change have been offered, but the conflicting nature of these excuses merely provides further evidence of the subterfuge surrounding this event. In many ways, it simply provides punctuation to the question: "What are these people trying to hide?"
... for now.
The UHF is an Islamic “propagation” center founded by the Islamic Circle of North America and the Muslim American Society - two of the largest and most radical Muslim, organizations in the United States.

Documents show Hamas officials have participated in previous ICNA events. UHF director Zulfiqar Ali Shah is past president of the ICNA. Ali Shah was also the principal at the Sunrise School of Islamic Studies whose co-founder, Mohammed Javed Qureshi, was "dirty bomber" suspect Jose Padilla’s direct supervisor at a local Taco Bell. Padilla, whose Islamic name is Abdullah al Muhajir, is being held in solitary confinement at a military brig in Charleston, SC. According to ABC news - "Al Muhajir later told him he had accepted Islam at a mosque and had taken the Muslim name Ibrahim. Qureshi said after that, he saw al Muhajir at the mosque at the Sunrise School of Islamic Studies and the Islamic Center of South Florida in Pompano Beach."

If that is the case let us examine the ongoing story of Pastor Lee Wasson’s Kissimmee Christian Academy. The Academy provides a faith-based curriculum from second grade through high school. Unfortunately the Academy’s 6 acres of fenced grounds are adjoined by a 25 acre parcel that, by happenstance, serves as the location of the UHF compound.
Nice neighbors
Together, the 31 acre combined properties comprise what used to be David People’s, South Eastern Academy - a travel & culinary school - which eventually filed for bankruptcy. It was in this bankruptcy proceeding that Super Stop Petroleum Company became the landlord to both UHF and the Kissimmee Christian Academy, the chief corporate officer of Super Stop? Denise Qureshi. There is a possible alias with the name however, Muhammed K. Qureshi is another possibility. Qureshi [or the Qureshis, as the case may be] own an impressive list of holdings, at least one, apparently with Shahida A Siddiqui. Since the Pastor’s landlord became Qureshi’s petroleum company, he has been continuously harassed and the particular form of harassment has taken its toll on the students, the parents and the financial health of the school.

We are being asked to believe that their is no link between the events and facts in this case, that the new landlord, Qureshi – who just happens, apparently, to be an Arab in the petroleum business – the Islamic UHF center, whose adherents just happen to spout anti-Semitic, anti-Christian hate speech and the now constant harassment of the Kissimmee Christian Academy, are totally unrelated.
Of course they are unrelated, don’t you know Islam is the religion of peace?

#3  It's not what they say on the floor, but rather what's said in the break-out sessions that matters.

I hope some enterprising FBI agents have some rooms bugged and reliable translators at hand.

#2  Update from WESH.com: KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Leaders at a Christian school in Kissimmee canceled classes Friday because of concerns about a controversial Islamic conference that's in town.
The original site for the three-day event was on property shared by the Kissimmee Christian Academy and the Universal Heritage Foundation that is sponsoring the conference, WESH NewsChannel 2 reported. Anti-hate groups said the original guest list read like a who's who of Islamic extremists. The Islamic Society of Central Florida asked organizers to either cancel the event or change the guest list. Organizers later said some of the controversial speakers will not be attending. The event, entitled "Islam for Humanity," has been moved to the Silver Spurs Arena. Organizers said people of all faiths are welcome to attend.


Hah, they got too much attention. The speakers will now be all full of peace and love, in front of the cameras at any rate.
