FBI Raids Muslim Web Hosting Company Copyright: iviews.com Published Wednesday September 05, 2001 By iviews.com staff report FBI agents raided a Muslim web hosting business Wednesday, a Dallas area television station reported. Witnesses outside the building told iviews.com that the entire building, which housed the business along with several others, had been evacuated and surrounded by at least 50 federal agents. Along with agents from the State Department, U.S. Customs and the U.S. Secret Service, the FBI began their search at Infocom Corporation, based in Richardson, Texas earlier this morning. The company hosts web sites for more than 500 companies, including several major Muslim American organizations such as the Council on American Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America, the Islamic Association for Palestine and the Holy Land Foundation. The raid comes just one week after Bank One corporation shut down the bank account for Holy Land Foundation without any explanation. The raid also comes just two weeks after two Muslim bashers openly called upon the FBI in a Wall Street Journal column to shut down the web sites of IAP and HLF. Steven Emerson and Daniel Pipes wrote in the August 13 issue, "The time has also come for the US to support Israel in rolling back the forces of terror". "The federal authorities should use the tools it already has in closing down these web sites and organizations," they wrote. WFAA reported that the raid could take as long as two to three days, as agents might seize massive amounts of company records. Bayan Elashi, the owner of Infocom, told reporters he did not know why the FBI was there. “We are just waiting for them (the FBI) to tell us what this is about,” Elashi said. iviews.com

America and Israel walked out of the conference because they claim it degenerated into an Israel-bashing session. In fact, it is they who made such a big deal of the attempts to condemn Israel before the conference even started, and it is they who have pushed the other, equally important racism issues aside, thus hitting several birds with just one stone and evading the weighty slavery issues. The only weighty slavery issue is the fact that some people in a few countries are slaves. The United States has little to do with this, and no one seemed to care to raise the issue. Instead they want to deal with something that was already dealt with by a bloody war over 130 years ago. Whatever the motivations for Israel's creation the fact is that it exists as a country now. It is unlikely to disapear nor do I think it should. Arabs can try to negotiate peace with it or they can fight it like the Palistinians are now. The first course seems more productive to me but others might disagree. Tim
