"The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam."

Earlier this month the newly renovated Hilton Oak Lawn, in the Chicago suburbs celebrated the July Fourth holiday and continued their celebration through the entire month of July by donating a portion of its sales to the Wounded Warrior Project .

Rick Harmon, general manager of the Hilton Oak Lawn said, "We've lighted the guest room tower of Hilton with red, white and blue flood lights that will continue throughout July to raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women.” A very noble cause.

But as Paul Harvey was known to say…”Now for the rest of the story.”

From the headlines - 7/17/09:

A group committed to establishing an international Islamic empire and reportedly linked to Al Qaeda is stepping up its Western recruitment efforts by holding its first official conference in the U.S. Hizb ut-Tahrir is a global Sunni network with reported ties to confessed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Al Qaeda in Iraq's onetime leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. It has operated discreetly in the U.S. for decades.

Now, it is coming out of the shadows and openly hosting a July 19 conference entitled, "The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam."

And guess where they are hosting this recruiting event???? The Hilton Oak Lawn .

Kind of makes their donation to the Wounded Warrior Project seem like a preemptive publicity strike doesn’t it!! It also makes me sick to my stomach. How far our once proud nation has sunk.

Harmon's response when being questioned about the upcoming event was "as long as they don't disrupt out other guests we have no reason to keep them out."

I attempted to contact them this morning via email but when I clicked on their website I got this: “The page you are attempting to view is temporarily unavailable...We apologize for the difficulties you are experiencing with our website.”

Please pass this message along to all who may feel outraged by this.
