Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America and a professor of Islam at Hartford Seminary, will deliver a prayer at the National Prayer Service next Wednesday. I examine this latest infiltration of the Wahhabi lobby into America's institutions in my latest article, which was published today at The American Thinker:
Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), will deliver a prayer at the National Cathedral during the National Prayer Service on January 21st. The event is part of the festivities for the inauguration of Barack Obama, which occurs January 20. A convert to Islam, Mattson directs the Macdonald Center for the Study of Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations at Hartford Seminary.
ISNA has close ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, a radical Islamist group, and was named an un-indicted co-conspirator in U.S. v Holy Land Foundation, a case that uncovered covert financing of the terrorist group Hamas. Since her election as ISNA president in 2006, Mattson's apologias for the radical Wahhabi sect of Islam have gained a much wider audience.
Daniel Pipes has written that, under Mattson's leadership, ISNA is "a key component of the Wahhabi lobby."
