Aiming to restore the Islamic caliphate, the New York-based Muslim Thinkers Society advocates the extermination of “the Zionist Roaches” by means of a second “Holocaust right on the soil of Israel.”
Based in Jackson Heights, New York, the Islamic Thinkers Society (ITS) – sometimes known as the Intellectual Thinkers Society – describes itself as a group of “like-minded Muslims” who “give public da'wah [proselytization] to society, where we invite the society to [convert to] Islam.” Emphasizing that this “struggle” is pursued exclusively by “non-violent” means, ITS carries out its da'wah activities mainly in the streets of Jackson Heights and in Manhattan's Times Square area. There, ITS members – who are mostly young, second-generation Muslim immigrants of Arab, Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani descent – distribute leaflets and hold banners conveying their group's religious message. “This methodology,” says ITS, “was adopted from the [life] of the prophet Muhammad [and his companions who] would constantly ... exhaust all their efforts to give da'wah to the Makkan [Meccan] society to invite them to the [reverence] of Allah.”
Embracing the ideological tenets of the Muslim Brotherhood, ITS is an offshoot of the now-defunct Al-Muhajiroun. ITS also has ties to the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), and it openly supports the agendas of al Qaeda.
ITS's chief objective is “to bring back” the Islamic caliphate that was dismantled in the early 1920s, and to thereby restore a united “Muslim Ummah [community] under one flag, one land, one border, and one leader.” This Islamic kingdom would be ruled strictly by Sharia law and would encompass every nation on earth, including the United States. On March 3, 2011, ITS demonstrators gathered outside the White House and staged a rally calling for the implementation of Sharia in the U.S. That same month, an ITS webpage featured a doctored photo of a Muslim flag flying atop the White House, with the caption:
ISLAM: THE FUTURE OF AMERICA
COMMUNISM IS DEAD
CAPITALISM IS DYING
ISLAM=THE ONLY SOLUTION
DEMOCRACY IS HYPOCRISY
RULE BY DIVINE LAW
NOT MAN-MADE LAW
