The story claims that Interpol, the international police organization, has revealed the existence of “a Jewish gang” that was “involved in the abduction of children from Algeria and trafficking of their organs.” The story is based an alleged statement by a Mustafa Khayatti, who is identified as either an Algerian official or the head of an Algerian NGO. Khayatti claims that, "…Jewish organ trafficking gangs…remain active in several Arab countries."<br /><br />An English version of the story appeared on the Web site of Press TV, a state-funded Iranian TV news channel. Al Watan, an Arab-American newspaper published out of Anaheim, California, was among the first to publish the story in the U.S. It has also appeared in The Palestine Chronicle, a Washington-based online publication that often prints anti-Semitic conspiratorial stories, and Islam Online, an online publication connected to Sheik Yusuf Qaradawi.<br /><br />For more on this issue and the perennial blood libel accusations against Jews, see "<a href="http://www.adl.org/main_Anti_Semitism_International/blood_libel_algeria.htm">New Blood Libel: Jews Accused of Harvesting Algerian Children's Organs</a>."<br /><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10;" ><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" ><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></span></span></span>ADL Supporterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13650708259018199315noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216562870474958234.post-39964776245263170992009-09-14T16:32:00.005-04:002009-09-14T16:42:12.377-04:00Muslim World League Uses English Language "Journal" to Peddle Anti-Semitic Conspiracy Theory<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><span style="color:#000000;"></span></span></span>The Muslim World League (MWL), which has been trying to position itself as the leading entity representing Muslims in international interfaith efforts, is tainted by the anti-Semitic themes it promotes through its English-language Journal. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLL3saqyLPYPFJc7yU8YoeF_LdEUFcrmutrc-rLtFgmbaJLbzyayY9hGOBnTFMhDh2wx5wdWPPdUVkE9EM2QOI0LNQPosrlg6uCnnG45C99iRsfAcIwx-pq9Tywh4s3WNCICDX5KpaJaYp/s1600-h/MWL-Anti-Semitism.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 171px; height: 223px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLL3saqyLPYPFJc7yU8YoeF_LdEUFcrmutrc-rLtFgmbaJLbzyayY9hGOBnTFMhDh2wx5wdWPPdUVkE9EM2QOI0LNQPosrlg6uCnnG45C99iRsfAcIwx-pq9Tywh4s3WNCICDX5KpaJaYp/s320/MWL-Anti-Semitism.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381425185976802578" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The May 2009 issue of The Muslim World League Journal, which is distributed worldwide, features a shocking cover story propagating conspiracy theories about Jewish control of media, according to a new report by the Anti-Defamation League.

In a May 4, 2009, LPAC statement, LaRouche described the Obama administration's health care proposals as "Nazi stuff."<br /><br />In his publication, <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Executive Intelligence Review</span>, and on his Web site, LaRouche consistently refers to the reform proposals as "Hitlerian" and "genocidal" and almost exclusively refers to the proposal as a "Nazi health plan."

An eighth suspect, whose name has been redacted from court papers, is reportedly still at large.<br /><br />According to initial reports, the men helped raise money and provide training for terrorist attacks in Tel Aviv, Israel. However, the indictment does not mention a specific terrorist plot, saying only that several of the men – including Daniel Patrick Boyd, his son Zakariya, and two other defendants Ziyad Yaghi and Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan – returned to the U.S. from Tel Aviv in June 2007 after "having failed in their attempt to engage in violent jihad."<br /><br />The men are said to have amassed various weapons and practiced military tactics and weapons training on a private property in Caswell County, North Carolina in June and July 2009.<br /><br />For more on this story, see: <a href="http://www.adl.org/main_Terrorism/north_carolina_jihad_plot.htm">North Carolina Men Charged With Terror Plot</a>ADL Supporterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13650708259018199315noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216562870474958234.post-18052695505729834152009-07-28T11:30:00.003-04:002009-07-28T11:34:56.980-04:00Muslim World LeagueThe Muslim World League (MWL) is a Saudi Arabia-based international organization that promulgates a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam around the world through a large network of charities and affiliated organizations.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpG1n9fn5XF6aaiN5FVSNIIE8VWXU1MaLyBeFTgWJrcx2DUL0y7LODQa-ohFNKdSLmU3vYIh_AYwJgyWjeunrusUxuybFnzuQd7fWx8jfAhE31iZQt6_JKzGVDLDyOLBVilG9zv2CLI_MD/s1600-h/MWL.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 74px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpG1n9fn5XF6aaiN5FVSNIIE8VWXU1MaLyBeFTgWJrcx2DUL0y7LODQa-ohFNKdSLmU3vYIh_AYwJgyWjeunrusUxuybFnzuQd7fWx8jfAhE31iZQt6_JKzGVDLDyOLBVilG9zv2CLI_MD/s200/MWL.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363534233725236018" border="0" /></a><br /><br />In recent years, the MWL's has attempted to portray itself as a broad global Islamist organization, outwardly emphasizing tolerant aspects of Islam and promoting itself as a leader in interfaith dialogue.
