Gentlemen,
I was walking through my old student union at the University of Oklahoma the other day with my wife and saw a flyer for an Islamic Panel Discussion that will be held at OU later this month. It's titled "My America, My Islam: Muslims talk about Islam in America and the New York Islamic Center Controversy" the web address for the discussion is

The panel will be held on September 21, 2010 at 7:00pm at the Regents Room, Oklahoma Memorial Union.

The flyer posted there will be three members on the discussion panel. I have gladly done some research on each of them.

1. Mona Eltahawy who is described as an award winning columnist, who is frequently published in the Washington Post and speaks around the world on Islamic Issues. You can visit her blog at www.monaeltahawy.com
She claims to be a moderate who only got involved in the NYC mosque debate only because of the constitutionality of the issue in a CNN video here: http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/vi...eisal.cnn.html

She also commented on the racial bigotry of the 9/11 rally this year: "I will not surrender that comfort as birds of a feather plan to flock to NYC for a hatefest to mark the ninth anniversary of 9/11. The right-wing group “Stop Islamization of America” will be hosting a rally against the proposed Islamic Community Center in Lower Manhattan. Attending will be a who’s who of bigots – former speaker of the US House of Representatives Newt Gingrich, former US ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, publisher Andrew Breitbart, and, most notoriously, the far-right Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders, who has called my religion “the ideology of a retarded culture.” The rest of the entry can be found here: http://www.monaeltahawy.com/blog/?p=308

2. Mohammad Daadaoui is described as an Assistant Professor of Political Science and Middle East Studies at Oklahoma City University. In 2009, Mohammad and OCU hosted in first "Islam Day" on campus. He invited members of CAIR to come to campus and talk to students about "the religion of peace." A section of the article states "Daadaoui organized lectures and interfaith panel discussions with community leaders including Razi Hashmi of the Oklahoma Council on American-Islamic Relations; Imad Enchassi, Imam of the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City and Rabbi Abbey Jacobson of the Emanuel Synagogue in Oklahoma City. OCU religion professors John Starks and Dann May will also speak." Full article can be found here: http://www.edmondsun.com/features/x4...ation-of-iFast

3. Malaka Elyazgi is described as the Chair of the Ethnic American Advisory Council to Governor Brad Henry, OK. She is a leader of the Muslim community in Oklahoma. I found an article that states "Malaka A. Elyazgi's husband Mohamed was quoted as a spokesman for the mosque in Norman following the October 1, 2005, suicide bombing on the OU campus. He was a business partner in a small shop in Oklahoma City with Mufid Abdulqader, who was indicted as a fundraiser for the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, of which Abdulqader's half-brother is the supreme political leader." Full article can be found here: http://www.batesline.com/archives/20...re-only-o.html

I have known that OU has had a strong influence from the Muslim community for quite some time. OU's petroleum engineering and energy management programs are some of the best in the nation. That is one reason why so many Saudis, Syrians, Jordanian, etc attend the university. It is also known that one of the 9/11 hijackers trained in aviation at OU. I do not expect any of these "speakers" to be moderate, to say the least. It is my speculation that this is a potential act of subversion against our nation's youth to plant false impressions in the minds of American students who will one day become prominent members of American society.
