Chicago Tribune Lies About Muslim Brotherhood in Oak Brook

The media is determined to continue lying and covering up Islamic violence and supremacism. This story is yet another disgraceful chapter in the media’s shameless lies and deceits.
We begin with the Chicago Tribune doing its best straight face fake journalism.
Oak Brook Police Chief James Kruger is assuring the community there are no local extremist Islamic groups, following a TV report that had Oak Brook listed on a map among 20 municipalities in the United States as a city with a “radical Muslim organization.”
Ryan Mauro is the national security analyst for the Clarion Project, a group that bills itself as “a nonprofit organization that educates the public about the threat of Islamic extremism and provides a platform for voices of moderation and tolerance within the Muslim community.”
Mauro was a guest on a segment of “The O’Reilly Factor,” during which he responded to a request to pinpoint five dangerous situations of Islamic extremists in the United States.
Ginex emailed Mauro, stating the village checked and did not find any radical Muslim organizations in the village. Ginex also asked Mauro for information on what such organization is in Oak Brook.
“We wanted to know if there was something we didn’t know about, and I asked for a correction to the story if there weren’t any organizations here,” Ginex said.
Ginex said he never received a response from Mauro.
Kruger said he never contacted anyone at the North American Islamic Trust after learning the FBI considers it to be legitimate.
“There’s a concern of protecting the civil rights of a legitimate organization,” Kruger said.
Of course the story is as real as the Muslim Brotherhood is moderate.
The Chicago Tribune article implies that the Clarion Project was evasive when questioned about NAIT, reporting that Oak Brook Village Manager Rick Ginex emailed me to inform me that the FBI found that no extremist group exists in the area.
I received no such email from Ginex nor did I receive a message from anyone identifying himself as being from the Chicago Tribune.
And it gets even better.
The irony in this reporting is that it was this same Chicago Tribune that published a blockbuster series of articles about Islamist groups in America, including the organization in question.
On September 19, 2004, the Chicago Tribune published an intriguing article titled “A Rare Look at Secretive Brotherhood in America.”
In fact, the Tribune itself writes in its 2004 expose:
“While separation of church and state is a bedrock principle of American democracy, the international Brotherhood preaches that religion and politics cannot be separated and that governments eventually should be Islamic. The group also champions martyrdom and jihad, or holy war, as a means of self-defense and has provided the philosophical underpinnings for Muslim militants worldwide.”
The March 12 article by the Tribune quotes Oak Brook Police Chief James Kruger as saying, “They [the FBI] said it is a legitimate place of business; there are no threats or other concerns in the village.”
The FBI is a branch of the Justice Department and the Justice Department designated NAIT as an unindicted co-conspirator in a trial related to the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s secret financing of the Hamas terrorist group
But facts are notoriously Islamophobic.
