Mainstream Muslim organizations in America claim to be institutions of peace, but the reality hasn’t matched the rhetoric. A history of terrorist links has done irreparable damage to these groups’ public pronouncements, rendering their words empty. One of the links, a former Al-Qaeda web designer named Mazen Mokhtar, has been making the rounds of many of the groups, most recently being featured on a video aimed at converting non-Muslims. It is individuals such as him who expose the grand American Islamist lie.
On April 24, 2007, Egyptian-born Mazen Moein Mokhtar was arrested at his North Brunswick, New Jersey home, charged with failing to file tax returns and filing false tax returns. While the charges, on their face, weren’t related to terrorism, Mokhtar’s terror-filled past suggested that there was more to the indictment than just taxes.
One of the tax years in question was 2000, where Mokhtar failed to report nearly $90,000 in net income. That year he had received a gross income of over $162,000 through his computer consulting business, Mindcraft. One of the jobs he undertook in 2000 was the creation of a website, minna.com, which corresponded to the name of the group both it and Mindcraft’s site were registered under, Minna International Corporation. “Minna” possibly alluded to an individual who resided at the same North Brunswick address as Mokhtar, Meena Shah.
Shortly before and after the September 11th attacks, an English language website, qoqaz.net, a.k.a. Jihad in Chechnya, was raising funds and recruiting fighters for Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. The site was a project of Azzam Publications, an organization named for Osama bin Laden’s mentor, Abdullah Azzam. The Arabic companion to the site was qoqaz.com, which exists today as alqoqaz.net. “Qoqaz” connotes Chechnya’s Caucasus Mountains, where Al-Qaeda-related mujahideen fighters have warred against Russian military forces.
