Like all Brotherhood groups, its goal is to spread Islam whilst destroying its place of dwelling from within. One of the areas of the U.S. that ICNA is focused on is the South, particularly the Southeast. This month, the organization will be holding what it calls its 14th Southern Islamic Convention, an event disguised as moderation but steeped in radical Islam.
ICNA has local chapters across the United States. ICNA’s Southeast division is based in Norcross, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta. As such, it is also known as ICNA-Atlanta. Prior to moving its operations to Georgia, the Southeast division was run out of Florida. Given the group’s past, it had reason to move.
ICNA-Southeast or ICNA-SE didn’t waste any time in spreading its brand of fanaticism.
