#Religion: Dar al-Hijra is one of the most radical terrorist-supporting mosques in the country.

Clarion Project  The Dar al-Hijra imam from 2001 to 2002 was Anwar al-Awlaki, who later became a senior Al-Qaeda operative. His sermons were attended by two of the 9/11 hijackers and Major Nidal Hassan, who carried out a mass shooting at Fort Hood in 2009. He was killed by a US drone strike when he fled to Yemen as a member of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

A 2002 Customs and Border Protection document states that DAH is “operating as a front for Hamas operatives in U.S.” A December 2007 document says it “has been linked to numerous individuals linked to terrorism financing” and “has also been associated with encouraging fraudulent marriages.

In 2010, Dave Gaubatz, a former Special Agent with the U.S. Air Force’s Office of Special Investigations, referred to DAH as “Wahhabi quarter” and said he found “very, very violent materials” in its library that promoted physical jihad and sedition.

In the fall of 2013, radical Islamic texts were discovered in Dar al-Hijrah’s book sale, including one by Brotherhood spiritual leader Yousef al-Qaradawi. The texts taught that Muslims are to wage violent jihad in order to resurrect the Caliphate, destroy Israel and implement Sharia governance.

One of the founders of DAH was Ismail Elbarasse.[7] He was an assistant to a senior Hamas official named Mousa Abu Marzook. He was later found to be a part of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s secret Palestine Committee that was set up to advance the agenda of Hamas. The FBI discovered U.S. Muslim Brotherhood archives when it searched his house in 2004.

Esam Omeish, a former member of DAH’s board of directors, was president of MAS from 2004 to 2008. In 2000, he was videotaped praising Palestinians that believe “violent  jihad way is the way to liberate your land.”
