Chicago: Two Anti-American Conferences Held on Independence Day

-By Warner Todd Huston

While patriotic Chicagoans attended parades, BBQs and otherwise celebrated our Independence Day holiday — and while Democrats stayed home and brooded — two of the most anti-American ideologies imaginable met to plot their revenge on the USA.

Not only did representatives of these two ideologies meet, but they met in the same town, on the same dates, and right across the street from each other. How’s that for kismet?

Over the July Fourth weekend, radical Islamists met at the Rosemont Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois for their 48th Annual Islamic Society of North America Convention. Over the same days the Socialism 2011 conference met across the street at the Crowne Plaza Hotel & Conference Center.

Both groups plan to destroy what is currently the USA and replace it with their own particular un-American idea of what should be.

The ISNA folks, of course, are radical Islamists interested in installing shariah law on the United States. Their chief influence is the extremist Wahhabi theology. The ISNA was started in 1981 by the Muslim Students’ Association of the US and Canada and was funded by radical Wahhabi Saudis.

As Discover the Networks says, “ISNA was created by MSA with the help of one of Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s founding students, Sami Al-Arian.”

The ISNA has met in Rosement for several years.

Of course, we don’t have to “discovery the network” for the socialists and commies. They’ve been trying to wipe Americanism off the face of the earth since the late 1800s!

It is interesting, though, that members of two ideologies that have been at war with America for decades decided to sully the Independence Day weekend both at the same time. It is telling that these hate groups were welcomed in the Chicagoland area, too.
