WASHINGTON – While visiting a mosque in the Washington area last week, a senior White House security official lavished praise on a Muslim cleric who happens to be a top leader of the radical Muslim Brotherhood in America, FBI investigators point out. Imam Magid and Denis McDonough
"They are so ignorant," said one FBI veteran regarding the White House. "This is unbelievable bullsh--." White House sources explain that deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough was unaware of the cleric's radical ties, and added that the presidential assistant attended the outreach event as a show of support for the Muslim community ahead of Thursday's congressional hearings on Muslim radicalization. Led by New York Republican Rep. Peter King, the planned hearings have already generated charges of "bigotry" from Muslim activists.
During his speech at the All Dulles Area Muslim Society in Sterling, Va., McDonough singled out the mosque's imam, Mohammed Magid, for praise.
"Thank you, Imam Magid, for your very kind introduction. I know that President Obama was very grateful that you led the prayer at last summer¹s Iftar dinner at the White House," he said. "Thank you, also, for being one of our nation's leading voices for the values that make America so strong, especially religious freedom and tolerance."
However, Sudanese-born Magid (aka Hagmagid Ali) is also president of the Islamic Society of North America – a terror-supporting organization and known front group for the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood's operations in America.
The Justice Department recently implicated the Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA, in a criminal conspiracy to fund Palestinian terrorists. U.S. prosecutors, in fact, designated ISNA as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism-finance case in U.S. history, the Holy Land Foundation trial. They also identified ISNA as a U.S. front group for Hamas and its parent the Muslim Brotherhood.
In a post-trial opinion, the federal judge ruled the government provided "ample evidence" to support ISNA's involvement in the foundation's conspiracy to underwrite terrorism, and he refused ISNA's petition to remove its name from the list of co-conspirators.

Magid's father, a Cairo-educated, Muslim Brotherhood scholar, has served as Grand Mufti of Sudan, an al-Qaida hotspot.
Speaking at the ADAMS Center, one of the largest Islamic centers in the Washington area, McDonough said, "This is a typically American place."
In fact, FBI investigators say the mosque is a Muslim Brotherhood-controlled property. It has been cited for distributing hate literature and oppressing women. The leadership pens female members in a separate area of the worship hall and has them cover their heads with scarves.
Last decade, ADAMS was singled out by the Freedom House as one of the top distributors of Saudi-sponsored anti-Semitic and anti-Christian dogma.
The mosque's board of directors includes key Muslim Brotherhood figures in America. "I'm sure McDonough doesn't know that the chairman of the board at ADAMS is Ahmed Totonji, one of the original Brothers in the U.S.," said the FBI official in Washington.
According to the book, "Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington," federal investigators have uncovered hundreds of thousands of dollars in checks endorsed to ADAMS by Brotherhood leaders and entities whose offices were raided after 9/11.
The book quotes a longtime ADAMS Center member who said that all Muslims are united in a kind of blood pact under the "ummah," the worldwide Muslim brotherhood.
"If you hurt one Muslim anywhere in the world," the man said, "it's like hurting all Muslims." And the Brothers will respond in kind, even if that means self-immolation on the streets of America.
"Muslims are not afraid to die, you know," he added, according to "Infiltration." "We are not afraid to die."
Asked his opinion of Osama bin Laden, he replied: "We do respect him."
Why? Because he stands against "injustice and oppression," explained the man, who works for a Beltway contractor. And even though he's rich, bin Laden shuns palaces and walks the true walk of Islam, he added – unlike the Saudi monarchs, whom he referred to as "hypocrites."
In closing his speech, McDonough encouraged the mosque and its leaders to continue "their efforts to strengthen cooperation between Muslim communities and law enforcement."
White House sources point out that Magid and ADAMS have also been recognized by the FBI and Homeland Security as outreach partners.
FBI sources say the partnership was originally established by the head of the FBI's Washington field office, Joseph Persichini, whom they say was trying to impress judges in a "community policing" awards contest.
In his application for the 2009 IACP Community Policing Awards competition – a copy of which was obtained by WND – Persichini cites imam Majid as a "key community partner," who "represented the voice of moderate Muslims."
Later that year, Persichini took early retirement from the FBI after the Justice Department's inspector general caught him cheating on an important bureau test.
