The extremist Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) has apparently found a home in Hilliard at the Noor Islamic Cultural Center. Just this past February, MPAC community development director Haris Tarin made an appearance at Noor. And just this past weekend, the chief MPAC extremist himself, Salam Al-Marayati, was the featured speaker at a youth(!) event at Noor:
NICC Youth Group Presents:
Forming a National & Religious Identity in the Age of Islamophobia
featuring
Salam Al Marayati
Executive Director of Muslim Public Affairs Council
The First Muslim Leader to testify before US House

PIZZA WILL BE SERVED
Noor Islamic Cultural Center, 1st Floor
Noor Islamic and Cultural Center http://www.noorohio.org/Al-Marayati made national news this week when he refused to meet with the Pope, as reported by the Associated Press ("US Muslim Group Declines to Meet Pope"). So much for "interfaith relations". However, this isn't the first, or even the second, time that Al-Marayati's extremism has made news.
What is so particularly offensive about Al-Marayati's appearance is that the visit of this openly pro-Hezbollah supporter coincides with the 25th anniversary of the US Embassy bombing in Beirut by Hezbollah, which killed 63 people, including 17 Americans.
