In celebration of its 10 full years of existence, the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago, an umbrella group for Chicagoland Islamic institutions, posted a page in late 2002 on its website with encomia from various individuals (the mayor, the archbishop) and organizations (the Islamic Society of North America, local groups). But what stands out is a juxtaposition mid-way down the page: first comes a letter of support from Rafiq Jabr, president of the Islamic Association for Palestine, the main Hamas affiliate in the United States; then comes a letter of support from Terry G. Hilliard, superintendent of police in Chicago. Isn't it amazing that a high law enforcement official is happy to be cheek-by-jowl with the local rep of an outlawed terrorist group? When will law enforcement get serious about this threat? (March 11, 2004)
