Writing in Frontpage, Patrick Poole has some very positive news about the citizenship prospects of radical Ohio Imam, Salah Soltan: Hometown Jihad: The Hamas Connection. Soltan has not exactly been laying low:
Last July, an estimated three hundred thousand supporters of the radical Islamic Turkish Saadet Party gathered in Istanbul to rally in support of the Palestinian terrorist organization HAMAS and their kidnapping of an Israeli soldier. Among the keynote speakers at the rally were HAMAS terrorist-in-chief Ismail Haniyeh (speaking via videophone), former Turkish Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan (political mentor to Saadet Party leaders), and my own Hilliard, Ohio neighbor,
Salah Sultan.
Sultan, president of the Columbus, Ohio-based American Center for Islamic Research and protégé of Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Youssef Al-Qaradawi (described by the Anti-Defamation League as the “Theologian of Terror†and designated by the US Government as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist), whipped up the crowd by condemning the Israeli response to the HAMAS kidnappings and calling for a boycott of Israel, as reported by Qaradawi’s own mouthpiece, Islamonline.net...
According to Poole's sources:
“With the information that we have in hand, Sultan’s application is essentially a dead letter, especially now that we know about this HAMAS rally. You would think that with all the attention that he’s been getting this past year, he would be smart enough to lay low long enough to get through the process to get his citizenship. He probably thought that he could get away with some of these activities because he was doing most of it overseas… His concern now shouldn’t just be about becoming a US citizen, but if his overall immigration status is going to get reviewed. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they pull his Green Card and he gets deported."
