May 27th, 2011 1:59 pm ET Jim Kouri <http://www.examiner.com/law-enforcement-in-national/jim-kouri> IHH, which plays a central role in organizing the upcoming flotilla to the Gaza Strip, joined Turkish Islamist organizations in denouncing Osama bin Laden's killing by America. IHH leader Bülent Yildirim again expressed readiness to sacrifice shaheeds to achieve the flotilla's objective, calling on Israel not to attack the ships. On May 5, 2011, a number of organizations met at the Reºadiye Hotel in the Fatih suburb of Istanbul, Turkey and issued a joint statement denouncing the "American terrorist attack" on Osama bin Laden, according to an unclassified report by The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center. Among the organizations were IHH (Insan Hak ve Hürriyetleri ve Insani Yardim Vakfi. In English: The Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief) and Mazlumder, an Islamist Turkish organization whose operatives participated in the Mavi Marmara flotilla. The statement also denounced Turkish public figures, among them President Abdullah Gül, for justifying the American attack on bin Laden. The IHH denouncement of Osama bin Laden's killing is another illustration of the radical anti-Western Islamist orientation of the organization, which in the past provided support for the global jihad. It was expressed in a speech given by Bülent Yildirim two months before the departure of the Mavi Marmara, in which he described Israel's so-called "attack" on the Gaza Strip as part of the West and other countries' overall attack on the Muslim world (Rasthaber website, March 31, 2010): 1) "Let us examine," he said, "all the wars in the world: the United States is killing Muslims. Where? In Afghanistan. NATO forces are killing Muslims. Where? In Chechnya. China is killing Muslims. Where? In northern Turkistan. Israel is killing Muslims. Where? In Palestine [sic]" (He went on to accuse Thailand, the Philippines and India of operating against Muslims). 2) "A Muslim," he continued, "cannot be defeated by oppressors and infidels.The day we agree to be the slaves of the west [is the day] we taste defeat. That is the situation in Iraq, Afghanistan and Chechnya, but with the help of Allah, we will not permit it in Palestine.If the owners of Al-Quds are Muslims, control of the world will be in Muslim hands." In June 2010, a group known as Free Gaza sponsored a flotilla from Turkey that engaged in deadly clashes with Israeli special forces troops and among the Free Gaza members were Weather Underground founders William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn as well as Jodie Evans, the leader of the radical activist organization Code Pink. Ayers and Dohrn were close associates of President Obama during his Chicago years, while Evans was a fundraiser and financial bundler for Obama's presidential campaign. In fact, one of Obama's fundraisers was held in the home of Ayers and Dohrn. "Ayers' and Dohrn's continued activities appear to elude the attention of the people responsible for reporting the news without bias. They are terrorists, plain and simple, so why would anyone be surprised to discover their connection to an anti-Semitic organization that supports terror groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah and al-Qaeda?" asks former New York Police detective Michael Snopes. The passengers reportedly included 100-plus members of various Muslim Brotherhood chapters, at least 20 of whom taped al Qaeda-style "martyr" videos before embarking, according to terrorist expert Steve Emerson, founder of The Investigative Project on Terrorism IHH, which plays a central role in organizing the upcoming flotilla to the Gaza Strip, joined Turkish Islamist organizations in denouncing Osama bin Laden's killing by America. IHH leader Bülent Yildirim again expressed readiness to sacrifice shaheeds to achieve the flotilla's objective, calling on Israel not to attack the ships. The Turkish IHH, which plays a central role in organizing the upcoming flotilla to the Gaza Strip (Freedom Flotilla 2), joined other Turkish Islamist organizations in denouncing the killing of Osama bin Laden by the Americans. On May 5 the organizations convened a press conference at a hotel in an Istanbul suburb and issued a joint statement denouncing the United States. Osman Atalay, the IHH representative (who participated in the Mavi Marmara flotilla) said that killing bin Laden had been clearly illegal, and called for the condemnation of "American terrorism." The denouncement was another illustration of IHH's radical anti-American anti-Western Islamic ideology, previously expressed in statements made by Bülent Yildirim and by the support IHH provided in the past for global jihad networks. Meanwhile, Bülent Yildirim continues his defiant, provocative statements regarding the flotilla planned for the end of June.1 On May 11 he told the Islamist Turkish TV Channel 5 that IHH would not hesitate to sacrifice shaheeds to achieve the flotilla's objective, since justice was on its side. He called on Israel to "act wisely," warning Israel not to attack the flotilla because that would entangle it with all the countries of the world. He pledged to increase the humanitarian assistance his organization sends to the Gaza Strip, and boasted that his time, with the contributions collected by IHH, the assistance would amount to $100 million (compared with $10 million last time). On May 11 IHH leader Bülent Yildirim gave a defiant interview to Turkey's Channel 5 TV (an Islamist-oriented station), describing the preparations for the next flotilla to the Gaza Strip. He said that so far 15 ships would participate in the flotilla. The Mavi Marmara (which IHH was planning to send again) was currently in a shipyard, having been overhauled because of the great damage Israel inflicted on it. He said that activists from the United States and Europe would participate in the flotilla, so that "the problem would no longer be between Turkey and Israel." Members of Arab parliaments, he added, would also join the flotilla, and even representatives from Israel television channels. He claimed that Jews from around the globe wanted to join the flotilla to show that "the actions of the Zionists do great harm to all the Jews in the world."
