Obama Inauguration Prayer-Leader Leads Organization Linked To Hamas

Middle: Ingrid Mattson, President, Islamic Society of North America, which is linked to Hamas: To lead prayer at B. Hussein Obama's inauguration!

Here we go again. What'd I warn y'all about Obama, who's associated with all sorts of scary extremists?

A Muslim scholar chosen to speak at President-elect Barack Obama's inaugural prayer service Wednesday is the leader of a group that federal prosecutors say has ties to terrorists.

Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America, is one of many religious leaders scheduled to speak at the prayer service at Washington's National Cathedral.

Mattson has been the guest of honor at State Department dinners and has met with senior Pentagon officials during the Bush administration. She also spoke at a prayer service at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

But in 2007 and as recently as last July, federal prosecutors in Dallas filed court documents linking the Hartford, Conn.-based Islamic society to the group Hamas, which the U.S. considers a terrorist organization.

Along with the also-Hamas-linked CAIR, the ISNA has been named a co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism-financing case. Nice choice, Obama. Cool associations you've got, all right. Show Americans what kind of President you are!

Might as well have David Duke up there, too, Barry-O, while you're at it. Not to mention Democratic Senator and former KKK Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd. After all, hate is hate, right? And you obviously don't have a problem with being nice to haters...
