The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), based in Plainfield, Indiana, USA, is a Muslim umbrella group that describes itself as the largest Muslim organization in North America. The vision of ISNA is “to be an exemplary and unifying Islamic organization in North America that contributes to the betterment of the Muslim community and society at large.” ISNA is an association of Muslim organizations and individuals that provides a common platform for presenting Islam, supporting Muslim communities, developing educational, social and outreach programs and fostering good relations with other religious communities, and civic and service organizations. ISNA’s annual convention is generally the largest gathering of American Muslims in the United States.
Islamic Horizons is the bi-monthly publication of ISNA. A speaker at the 2009 national convention, Warith Deen Umar, a New York imam, asserted that the Holocaust happened to the Jews “because they were serially disobedient to Allah.” He went on to allege that a group of Jews close to President Barack Obama “control the world.” ISNA immediately condemned the tenor of the comments.
