Knox Lodge Opens Fire on Knox Museum Over Al-Jazeera

By: Cliff Kincaid July 14, 2011

The treasurer of the Major General Henry Knox Lodge says he nearly went “ballistic” when he heard that the General Knox Museum in Maine was going to honor the Al-Jazeera Washington bureau chief, Abderrahim Foukara, by having him as a speaker at a gala fundraiser on July 28.

Brad Chase explains, “I telephoned the museum, talking to a woman, and told her I want to ask the following questions: Why are you having the Al-Jazeera Washington bureau chief as your speaker? Don’t you know that it is funded by the Emir of Qatar, and is a propaganda arm of the Islamists? Have you ever heard of the Muslim Brotherhood? Why don’t you have an American General for a speaker?”
