He is fully aware of how he is being portrayed on the site (as this author has had correspondence with his&nbsp;office&nbsp;regarding the matter) but refuses to demand its deletion and offers no apology for its existence. Pastor Warren has become a shill for Islamic terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs-salamu Alaykum. I come to you today deeply humbled and honored by this invitation. I truly mean that. I applaud your courage for inviting an Evangelical pastor. Thank you.\u201d This was the opening statement of Rick Warren, the leading pastor of the influential Southern California Saddleback&nbsp;Church, as he stood in front of the attendees of ISNA\u2019s 46th Annual Convention in July 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He spoke these words as he stood at the podium emblazoned with ISNA\u2019s logo, an&nbsp;image&nbsp;that, for many, is a symbol of terror and stealth jihad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ISNA is an American arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. It was founded in 1981 by a group of individuals which included the North American leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Sami al-Arian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2007 and 2008, ISNA was named by the United States Justice Department as a willing participant in the financing of millions of dollars to Hamas.
