(IPT) Two Washington, D.C.-area mosques hosted programs last weekend calling for the release of celebrity Islamist Tariq Ramadan, who has been in a French jail since February on rape charges.
He is the grandson of Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna.
Rallies at Virginia’s Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center and the Turkish government-run Diyanet Center in Lanham, Md., were sponsored by the Aafia Foundation. It is named for convicted Pakistani terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, aka “Lady Al-Qaida,” a Pakistani convicted of opening fire on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.
The foundation also led a march Monday to the French embassy in Washington demanding Ramadan’s release.
