A new Islamic advocacy group in Boca Raton is under scrutiny for its ties to William W. Baker, a former chairman of the neo-Nazi political party of presidential candidate David Duke who was run out of town last year when he attempted to speak at Florida Atlantic University.

Local Jewish and civic leaders said Friday they were alarmed that the Assadiq Islamic Education Foundation, whose headquarters are listed at 831 E. Palmetto Park Road in Boca, had invited Baker back to Boca as featured speaker at an April 30 banquet at the Boca Marriott. Invited by Muslim students to speak at Florida Atlantic University in April 2004, Baker’s first visit to the city was cancelled amid popular protest.

Leaders of the Anti-Defamation League also protested last year’s visit by Baker, on whom they have a long anti-Semitic file. Now head of Christians and Muslims for Peace (CAMP), Baker chaired the neo-Nazi Populist Party and organized its national convention in 1984.

Baker’s Populist Party is perhaps best known for its 1988 presidential nominee, former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.

1. thanks for posting that

Those who have been watching certain fundamentalist Islamists group know all about these shocking connections

[KamaAina]

2. There were said to be radical Muslim ties to McVeigh and Co.

and of course there's always Grover Norquist, fascist extraordinaire and quasi-official repuke liaison to the Muslim vote, er, I mean community.

4. I read McVeigh's partner

Terry (I'm blanking on the last name) went to the Phillipines and had lessons in bomb-building there with radical Islamists. Do you know if there's anything to that?

5. Nichols, I read that too about the bomb making. Also saw a

story that MCVeigh /Nichols might have had ties to Islamic radicals.

[Adelante]

6. It was McVeigh's lawyer I read say it

He'd been told by chief of police there of the Nichols meetings with bomb-makers. Another thing that comes to mind is people who knew them said they didn't know how to make the bomb workable until Nichols went and came back.

7. I don't know if these are wild theories or what but there's plenty

on the internet about it
