Confronting a Year in Radical Islam

Confronting a Year in Radical Islam

By Jamie Glazov FrontPageMagazine.com February 16, 2007


Introduction

In a recent issue of Frontpagemag.com (Jan. 31, 2007), we ran an interview with Daveed Gartenstein-Ross discussing his new book, My Year Inside Radical Islam, which documents his time working with the Al Haramain Islamic Foundation, an international Wahhabi charity that Mr. Gartenstein-Ross argues was an al-Qaeda financier.
Al Haramain has voiced its displeasure with Gartenstein-Ross and one of its directors has sent in a response to Frontpage to voice its disagreement with Gartenstein Ross’s presentation of the facts.

Thus, Frontpage has arranged an exchange between:

Soliman al-Buthi, one of the former directors of Al-Haramain, in Ashland, Oregon, who is now based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Al-Buthi is currently living as a fugitive in Saudi Arabia, as he has been
indicted in U.S. court for his role in a money-laundering scheme that the indictment alleges was designed to finance the mujahideen in Chechnya. Al-Buthi has also been named a specially-designated global terrorist by the Treasury Department; the designation alleges "direct links between the U.S. branch [of Al Haramain] and Usama bin Laden."
