As a Wahabbi bin-Laden supporter, OF COURSE he should be removed, and
deported.  Last sentence is patently absurd.

Muslim man's removal from panel assailed

PHOENIX - Nearly three dozen Muslims held a protest Friday in front of City
Hall, spurred in part by the removal of a Muslim man from the Phoenix Human
Relations Commission. 

The City Council in October removed Marwan Ahmad from the commission.
Sabahudin Ceman, imam of the Islamic Center of North Phoenix, was named as
Ahmad's replacement. 

Mayor Phil Gordon was behind the decision to remove Ahmad, saying that he
delivers a message of intolerance against Israel and the Jewish community
when the commission's mission is to promote respect and understanding among
all groups. 

Ahmad publishes the Multicultural Yellow Pages, which excludes references to
the Valley's Jewish cultural institutions and replaces Israel with the name
Palestine on a Middle East map. 



Ahmad said Gordon "has been supportive of Israel, but he removed me because
of my . . . views on Israel."

"It's a contradiction, " he said, referring to Gordon attending a Stand by
Israel Rally in late October. 

At the rally, Gordon said local government needs to stand "proudly with the
state of Israel," the Jewish News of Greater Phoenix reported.

Gordon, who regularly meets with members of the Muslim community, said that
"serving on the Human Relations Commission is a privilege, not a right."

Hani Rahal, a member of a Muslim coalition, said, "People should not be
removed from their positions because of their political views."
