Islamic Thinkers Society Called 'Destructive'

[951-Riverside]

I wonder if this group is lead by Cleric Fred Phelps :D

The radical Islamist group that gathered outside the Israeli Consulate on Saturday and chanted venomous slogans - such as "the mushroom cloud is on its way" and "the real Holocaust is on its way" - is a fringe political group with ideological ties to a London organization that celebrated the September 11, 2001, attacks, analysts said yesterday.

The group, which calls itself the Islamic Thinkers Society, says on its Web site that it is devoted to "bringing change through intellectual and political struggle," but members of the city's Muslim community and terrorism experts portrayed the group as far from intellectual and possibly dangerous.

"They are so out there, but sometimes the ones who are a little bit more out there don't have anything to lose," a senior research analyst with the Investigative Project on Terrorism, Tamar Tesler, said. "Any one of them could be problematic."

About eight of the society's members - possibly the entire roster of the group, according to Ms. Tesler - held the rally in response to the worst bombing in Tel Aviv in more than a year. The suicide bombing by a Palestinian Arab man killed nine people and was heralded as justified revenge by the Hamas government.
