The founders of a New Jersey mosque have sued to have their religious leader removed, saying he is trying to make the congregation more fundamentalist.
The suit, filed by the International Muslim Brotherhood Inc., the mosque's owner, as well as three founding members, says Imam Sabur Abdul Hakim recently has adopted stricter views of Islam and is planning to beam in lectures by satellite from a conservative sect in Saudi Arabia.
A message for Hakim's lawyer, Eric Broadway, was not returned Sunday.
The mosque was founded in 1981 by local Muslims and state employees needing a place to pray. It was meant to be open to all sects.
The board of trustees had set in place a rotating schedule of people for the mosque's weekly Friday sermon, but Hakim in 2004 decided that he alone would decide who gave the Friday sermon, the lawsuit says.

The International Muslim Brotherhood, Inc.
The International Muslim Brotherhood was established in 1949 by Imam Nasir Ahmed. Imam Nasir had originally been a devotee of Sheikh Muhammad Ezzaldeen. Although a native Philadelphian, Imam Ahmed helped his mentor, Professor Ezzaldeen establish Ezzaldeen Village as one of the first communal settings in the USA formed for the purpose of teaching, implementing and disseminating the Social Systems legislated by Sunni Islam. In addition to The Adenu Allahu Universal Arabic Association of Ezzaldeen Village in Elm, New Jersey, the Professor also founded the Adenu Allahu Universal Arabic Association of Newark, New Jersey; AAUAA of Youngstown, Ohio; AAUAA of Florida; and Jabil Arabia in Buffalo, New York.

A rare look at secretive Brotherhood in America
Muslims divided on BrotherhoodA group aiming to create Islamic states worldwide has established roots here, in large part under the guidance of Egypt-born Ahmed Elkadi
By Noreen S. Ahmed-Ullah, Sam Roe and Laurie CohenTribune staff reporters
Published September 19, 2004
Over the last 40 years, small groups of devout Muslim men have gathered in homes in U.S. cities to pray, memorize the Koran and discuss events of the day.But they also addressed their ultimate goal, one so controversial that it is a key reason they have operated in secrecy: to create Muslim states overseas and, they hope, someday in America as well.

CAIR and Hasan Al Turabi -Quba Institute does Interfaith with the Philly Mitzvah Food Pantry
"America incarnates the devil for Muslims. When I say Muslims, I mean all the
Muslims in the world."
Hassan al-Turabi, Saddam Hussein's close ally, Osama bin Laden's friend and one-time benefactor, as quoted in an interview with the Associated Press (1997)
"...Such educational and political luminaries as Hassan Turabi, the former President of the Sudan...have added their voices and their efforts to replenish and support International Muslim Brotherhood's educational agenda..."
Website of the Quba Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies in Philadelphia which recently did an interfaith event with Jewish student from the Gratz Jewish College.
"...The Brotherhood", as it has historically been known, has always served as a beacon to Muslims from all over the world that spent their lives in the preservation and dissemination of Sunni Islam. Such acknowledged Muslim luminaries as the world renowned Qaari, Sheikh Mahmoud Khalil Al-Husri, Dr. Medhat Hussanein, Dr. Abou Sulaiman and Dr. Hassan Turabi were all instrumental in contributing instruction in this masjid..."(The Quba Institute )

“SPECIALLY DESIGNATED TERRORIST ORGANIZATION”
A Position Paper for the Committee on the Present Danger
and
All Other Interested Parties
Executive Summary
The IMB is a clear and present danger to the United States and its allies. Its “achievements” include the assassination of President Anwar Sadat and being the parent organization of all other Sunni Arab terrorist groups, including Gamaat Islamiyah, Islamic Jihad, HAMAS, and Al-Qaeda. Leaders from the other terrorist groups (e.g., Sheikh Yasin of HAMAS) have served dual roles in the IMB. Strategically, the IMB is dedicated to undermining and overthrowing not only Western governments but also any government that does not submit fully to Islamic law.
This position paper offers an analysis of the IMB’s strategic intentions (Part One). Another section cites the Gamaat Islamiyah as an exemplary splinter group of the Brotherhood, as a means of demonstrating the overlapping leadership and purposes of the Brotherhood and its offshoots in the Sunni Arab terror network (Part Two). Then it returns to the IMB for an historical overview of the movement’s legacies of subversion, espionage, terrorism, and group/leadership alliances with hostile foreign powers and other terrorist organizations (Part Three). In addition, it considers post-Cold War geopolitical changes that have given rise to the “mass movement” identified in The 9/11 Commission Report, contending that the IMB, in particular, is prime medium upon which that mass movement grows (Part Four).
Implications arising from this paper provide compelling justification for the Department of Treasury to classify the IMB, under its official name or its covert names, as a Specially Designated Terrorist Organization.
