UndieBomber Was Here Before

In August of 2008, an Islamist student made his way from London to Houston to attend a two-week program put on by the AlMaghrib Institute. This was his third course with the Institute, including two in London. On Christmas Day 2009, the very same student, Omar Farouk Abdulmutallab, tried to blow up a transatlantic flight with a suicide bomb he had sewn into his underpants.

The AlMaghrib program offered "mainstream Islamic stuff," Qadhi told CNN, which did not challenge the claim.

An examination of the views expressed by Qadhi and others at AlMaghrib, however, shows that they are far from moderate and the institute exhorts followers to carry out jihad and not integrate with the West. Such views are exposed to a wide audience, as the CNN report noted that 30,000 students have attended AlMaghrib courses throughout the English-speaking world.

The tapes show Qadhi's hatred of non-Muslims, contempt for Western society, and glorification of jihad. Qadhi has also stated that he "owed a lot to" Ali Al-Timimi, who was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of soliciting others to wage war against the United States.

Not only does Qadhi see Western society as incompatible with Islam, he casts all non-Muslims as people who inherently hate Muslims, and notes that death while carrying out jihad was the most cherished honor.  In endorsing the book The Hoax of the Holocaust, Qadhi denied the Holocaust himself and attempted to spread these beliefs among young people.

Qadhi's statements, as extreme as they are, pale in comparison to those of the director of the Institute, Muhammad Alshareef. Alshareef's speeches, including "Why the Jews were Cursed," are featured on jihadist websites.  In that same speech, he glamorized jihadists, asking "Have you ever smelled 15,000 mujahid in the fragrance of death hovering over the entire army?"
Up until recently, AlMaghrib's web site sold video sermons of Anwar Al-Awlaki, the advisor of the Fort Hood attacker and Al-Qaeda's most articulate English-speaking scholar. Awlaki, who also is believed to have advised Christmas Day bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, has been considered an inspiration to terrorists for years, with a profound effect on young people who are susceptible to the phenomenon of "Jihadi cool."
