Minarets tower over two of the tallest roller coasters in the world, on
the flyer announcing today’s big event at Six Flags’ Great Adventure
& Wild Safari. On this day, the park will be “transformed,” as
thousands of Islamists from across the northeast come together in
Jackson, New Jersey for "The Great Muslim Adventure Day." Regrettably,
Muslims will be the only ones having fun, as non-Muslims have been told
that they are not welcome.
The event, which also goes by the name "Muslim Youth Day," is being
sponsored by the New Jersey chapter of the Islamic Circle of North
America (ICNA), a militant organization tethered to the Muslim
Brotherhood of Pakistan, Jamaat-e-Islami. "Muslim Youth Day" has been
celebrated since September of 2000, when the first one took place. At
the time, it was heralded a huge success. As one paper put it, “More
than 8,000 Muslims, both orthodox and non-practicing, jammed into the
amusement park…”
Speaking at the 2000 event were officials from numerous radical
Islamist organizations. This included Yusuf Islahi, a high-ranking
Jamaat-e-Islami leader. During his speech, he stated to the crowd,
“The owner of the Six Flags Great Adventure never imagined even in his
wildest dreams that a mere recreation area of this kind would be filled
with Allah's praise; that speeches on the subject of Islam would be
delivered; Dawah towards Islam be given; Allah would be remembered; the
cries of Allahu Akbar would be heard everywhere.”
The next "Muslim Youth Day," held on September 8, 2001, faired even
better than the first, with 10,000 people attending. The momentum was
soon to stop, though, as the organizer for the events, Tariq Amanullah,
perished only three days later during the 9/11 attacks on the World
Trade Center. This was ironic, because just prior to the assault, he
had been working on an ICNA website that was soliciting its viewers to
give “material support” to Al-Qaeda, through one of the terror group’s
main financing and recruiting sites, Jihad in Chechnya (www.qoqaz.net).
Another "Muslim Youth Day" wasn’t to occur until three years later, in
September of 2004. The flyer put out by ICNA for this event caused a
lot of controversy. The upper right-hand corner read, “ENTIRE PARK ALL
DAY, FOR MUSLIMS ONLY!” Another part of the flyer stated, “All rides
FREE! NO long lines! 100’s of rides & shows! Muslims only!!”
And sandwiched between the two statements was the Six Flags logo. It
seemed to many that Great Adventure had become a bigoted park. People
were outraged. And to make matters worse, the organization it was
allowing into its gates was tied to radical activity overseas.
Appearing on Fox News’ ‘Heartland with John Kasich’ was the
Investigative Project’s Lorenzo Vidino. When asked about the 2004
event, Vidino stated the following: “The Islamic Circle is related to
a radical Islamic party out of Pakistan that wants to overthrow the
Musharraf government and [bring about] the creation of an Islamic state
in Pakistan with Islamic law, and basically a radical Islamic
theocracy. Members and leaders of ICNA have endorsed suicide bombings
in Israel. They have said that the World Trade Center bombing in 1993
was a Zionist conspiracy and that Muslims were not behind it. They have
endorsed jihad in Chechnya, even though they claim the word jihad might
have a double meaning. They clearly say they want jihad (holy war) in
Chechnya and Palestine and claim that suicide bombers in Israel and
Palestine are not murderers.”
Speaking at ‘Muslim Youth Day’ 2004 was Imam Zaid Shakir, a teacher at
the Zaytuna Institute located in Hayward, California. At a speech
Shakir had given at Northwestern University in Chicago, entitled
‘Jihad: A Just Struggle or Unjust Violence,’ he stated, “We’re not a
people who believe in perpetual revolution. We’re a people who believe
in perpetual peace, if that’s possible… But if that isn’t possible,
then there are circumstances where we are justified to fight.” Also
speaking at the event was Ingrid Mattson, the President of the Islamic
Society of North America (ISNA). In September of 2002, in an article
about the effect of 9/11 on Muslims, Mattson is quoted as saying that
it was “logical,” albeit wrong, for terrorists to attack the World
Trade Center, since “Israel has attacked and oppressed Palestinians for
decades, and Israel gets $3 billion a year in military assistance from
the U.S. government.”
Today’s event will be no different. The park will be implementing the
same exclusionary policy as before. This was confirmed by “Park
Information” at Great Adventure. When asked if non-Muslims were
allowed to attend, a park representative stated, “The public will be
prohibited from entering.” The rep said it was “a special day.”
The park will also be offering the same type of radical lecturers.
Sheikh Yasir Qadhi, an instructor at Al-Maghrib Institute, is the
featured speaker today. In a talk he gave in 2001 about how to deal
with Jews, Qadhi stated that the Holocaust was a hoax and that “Hitler
never intended to mass destroy the Jews.” He said that the vast
majority of the world’s Jews are not really Jews. He stated, “As for
80 to 90 percent of the Jews in our times, they are Ashkenazi, i.e.
Khazars, i.e. Russians, Turko-Russians. Look at them – white, crooked
nose, blonde hairs – This is not the descendants of Yakub (Jacob)!
These are not a Semitic people. Look at them! They don’t look like
Semites, and they are not Semites.” He said that information
concerning this conspiracy was being hidden from the world by Jews
(“Yahud”) and Christians. One has to wonder if he will be mentioning
any of this at the park.
The latest roller coasters, a drive-thru Wild Safari, tiger and dolphin
shows, Bugs Bunny, fireworks – Six Flags’ Great Adventure contains
everything to make a child’s day a day to remember. But when one is
dealing with the Islamic Circle of North America, a militant Islamist
organization connected to radicals overseas who wish the world would
convert to their beliefs, one can expect something else as well –
something sinister. And no one else will be there to see, because
they’re not being let in.
According to ICNA, today, Great Adventure will be “transformed” into
the Great Muslim Adventure Day. 15,000 people are expected to attend.
The question is: Is ICNA using Six Flags’ facilities or is it the other
way around? Or is that the near future? Why are we allowing this to
happen?
If you have any questions, please contact the park.
