MOBILE, Alabama - The imam of the Islamic Society of Mobile said Omar Hammami is ignorant, an outlaw and a "low-life."
Sheikh Ghassan Al-Barqawi spoke Wednesday night at the University of South Alabama on current events in Islam.
Al Barqawi said Hammami "is not associated with me in any way, shape, or form. I will not allow my name to be associated with such kind of low-lifes."
The imam said Hammami hadn't associated with the Islamic Society of Mobile since the end of 2001.
He said he saw the video where Hammami pledged allegiance to Osama bin Laden and concluded, "You are telling me nothing but you are an ignorant person; that people are taking advantage of you because you are an American and you have a very, very white skin."
Al-Barqawi also said Hammami's family, including his father who's the president of the Islamic Society of Mobile, should not be blamed for Hammami's actions.
The imam said. "I challenge anyone to find a better citizen of this country. To have a son, an outlaw son? So what? In almost every family, there is a bad apple."
What about the fact Hammami comes from our area?
Al-Barqawi said, "What surprises me is that people are all jumping, 'Look, he's from Daphne.' The local criminals, the local terrorists come from all villages of America."
And he said he's even offering to help authorities find Hammami.
The imam said, "I am offering my assistance, including going to Somalia to pick up that person and bring him back to America."
In a written press release, Al-Barqawi said the society has fully cooperated with federal authorities in the Hammami case from day one.

To Great1:
I am not selling anybody’s books. I suggested that everyone should go to the Islamic religious sources, directly, starting with the Koran. However, if people do not have the time for that, I recommend Spencer’s books because Spencer quotes liberally from the Koran. There is absolutely no hypocrisy in these recommendations. Here, by the way is an excellent website which has three parallel English translations of the Koran. This website is sponsored by the University of Southern California, but is put together by the Muslim Student Association. Anyone can check out any verse from the Koran. The same website also has a section for searching the sayings of Muhammad (hadith). Here is the URL:

abdul. You’re calling muslims salesmen for trying to sell their religion and then you wanna sell some books against islam by someone else. That kinda fits the definition of a hippocrit.

Muhammad (the commenter above, not the Islamic prophet) can only call names. This is typical of Moslem propagandists. They never address the arguments. They never address those passages in the Koran, the sayings of Muhammad or the Sharia which promote violent religious bigotry against non-Moslems. That is why anyone who wants to learn the truth about Islam should never listen to Moslem spokesmen. They are only sales reps for Islam. If you want the truth about Islam, go to the horse’s mouth: the Koran, the sayings of Muhammad and the Shariah. Read it for yourself. If you don’t have the time, then read books which quote liberally from those sources, such as Robert Spencer’s “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam” and “The Complete Infidel’s Guide to the Koran.” The basic Islamic holy sources should be required reading for graduation from high school. We must learn the truth about Islam before it is too late. Here is what the Koran says about non-Moslems:
—Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve. (8.55)
—The unbelievers are your inveterate enemy. (4:101)
Now, is that religious bigotry, or what?

What would the muslims do if I were to flush the koran down the toilette or draw funny cartoons of mohammed? Are the ones that are trying to kill the Ductch film director or the Danish newspaper guy good muslims or just your common everyday thug?

To RMseek and others:
Every Moslem has the obligation to promote Islam. That means NEVER doing anything that would tarnish Islam’s image in the eyes of non-Moslems. That is why Moslem spokespersons can never be trusted to tell the truth about Islam. This is not true of Christian pastors or Jewish rabbis. They may or may not tell the truth, although, they will usually tell the truth as they see it. They are not under obligation to polish Christianity’s or Judaism’s image in the eyes of non-believers. Moslems are under the obligation to protect and defend Islam from all embarrassment, insults and negative images. This is all part of jihad which is the promotion of Islam throughout the world in any way possible, peacefully if possible, but violently, if necessary. Allah orders them to make war on non-Moslems. The popular manual of shariah law, Umdat-al-salik (in English translation, approved by the highest Islamic religious authorities of Jordan, Syria, Egypt and Saudi Arabia) says very clearly: “Jihad means to war against non-Muslims.” What could be clearer than that? That is from the horse’s mouth. That is why it is necessary to go to the horse’s mouth for the truth about Islam, not to propagandists and PR spokesmen like OMG.
