 Islamic Association of Palestine
Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP) is an religious based organization that purports to write articles of a factual nature on issues that "Zionist controlled" westernized media fails to report.

Therefore, according to the IAP, a pro-Palestinian organization is inherently incapable of being anti-Semitic.

An Islamic Jihad activist, Ahmed Ismail, was martyred on May 4, when Israeli soldiers riddled him with bullets while he was standing outside his brother’s store in the village of Urtas, near Bethlehem.
This determination was given a massive boost by the conference in Tehran, at which the Islamic State reasserted its determination to support the jihad movements, and that the only possible solution to the zionist problem is the abolition of the state of Israel.
The tone of the conference, however, was set by the leadership of Islamic Iran and the leaders of Palestinian Islamic movements, and representatives of secular or compromising groups could only have taken a sobering message to their leaders.

When Abdurahman Alamoudi, friend and sometime adviser on Islamic affairs to Hillary Rodham Clinton, stood before a Muslim crowd in Lafayette Park across from the White House this week and passionately declared his support for the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah, he was revealing the true face of "moderate" Islam.
Second, Islamic "moderates" deny that preachers and mobs chanting "Kill the Jews, butcher the Christians" should be seen by Americans as a threat.
Third, Islamic "moderates" do not oppose the extremists, but show solidarity with their extremist fellow Muslims; make excuses for them; bitterly denounce American journalists for publicizing the existence of these groups; and, most significantly, describe any attempt by America to defend itself from Islamic terrorism as an expression of "anti-Muslim" bias.

 CAIR Founded by "Islamic Terrorists"? - Middle East Forum

 CAIR Named as a Defendant in 9/11 Terror Lawsuit [Weblog] - Daniel Pipes
CAIR agreed to form and associate with the Enterprise and agreed to commit more than two predicate acts, i.e., multiple acts of murder and arson.
Radical Muslim Terrorism, and/or al Qaida and/or the International Islamic Front for the Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders, does not feature a centralized hierarchy, because the lack of a centralized hierarchy is essential to the Enterprise's clandestine nature and its success.
Thus, although al Qaida, for example, had its own membership roster and a structure of "committees" to guide and oversee such functions as training terrorists, proposing targets, financing operations, and issuing edicts, the committees were not a hierarchical chain of command but were instead a means for coordinating functions and providing material support to operations.
