Mr. Kaufman-

Having checked on this issue briefly, it appears that this event has been permitted in accord with the established University procedures for use of intramural fields.

Mr. Prevaux,

Thank you for responding to my inquiry, concerning the use of USF's intramural sports fields by the Muslim American Society of Tampa (MAS-Tampa) for its 2006 MAS Olympics.

MAS-Tampa is an American arm of the violent Muslim Brotherhood.

There is, as I write to you, material found on MAS-Tampa's website (in its "e-Library") calling on Muslims to "wage jihad until death" and to "go on jihad with the ambition to die as a martyr."

There is also material on MAS-Tampa's website discussing the "killing" and "destroying" of Jews and the "cursing" of Jews and Christians.

In addition, recently this organization featured, at a youth retreat, a speaker that, prior to 9/11, created a website that raised funds and recruited fighters for Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

What kind of university would allow for an outside group that is actively propagating hatred and violence to children to use its facilities?

It is outrageous that you would not take the necessary action to stop this from occurring, especially given USF's embarrassing history of coordinating activities with leaders of Palestinian Islamic Jihad!

To permit a group such as this to use your facilities is to give tacit approval of the group's evil designs. In the name of common decency (and the security of our nation), I ask that you reconsider and cancel this event immediately.

Sincerely,

Joe Kaufman
Chairman
Americans Against Hate
