• Chairman of the Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations

Johari Abdul-Malik is the imam of Dar Al-Hijrah, located in Falls Church, Virginia.  On his radio show in September of 2004, discussing the impact of 9/11 on the Muslim community, Abdul-Malik took the opportunity to laud one of his congregants, Ismael Selim Elbarasse, who had just been arrested for videotaping structural parts of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Bridge.  Elbarasse, who has been described as a "high-ranking Hamas operative," held a joint bank account with Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook for the purpose of financing the terror group.  Another congregant, Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, in March of 2006, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for providing material support to Al-Qaeda, whilst plotting to assassinate President Bush.  About the charges against Abu Ali, Abdul-Malik stated, "Our whole community is under siege."
