Former President Jimmy Carter will speak to a group linked by the Justice Department to the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood, says a spokesman for the Clarion Project.
"This is not a moderate organization that is worthy of the prestige of a former president," Ryan Mauro said Tuesday on Fox News Channel's "The Kelly File."
The Islamic Society of North America's annual convention will be held in Detroit Aug. 29-Sept. 1, Mauro wrote in an article on the Clarion Project's website.
"The U.S. Justice Department labeled ISNA an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism-financing trial in American history and listed the group as a Muslim Brotherhood entity," Mauro wrote.
Typical speakers at the group's conferences show a consistent pattern of people who say sharia law should be instituted in the United States," Mauro told Fox News, and on Memorial Day two of this year's speakers questioned whether fallen U.S. soldiers should be honored.
The group's public relations strategy is to define itself as moderate and representative of most Muslim Americans, Mauro said, but he argued that that they aren't necessarily moderates just because they condemn al-Qaida and the 9/11 attacks.
The group also calls Hamas members killed by Israelis "martyrs" and says suicide bombings are justified, he said.
