After all, according to Debbie Schlussel, during the Israeli incursion into Lebanon last summer Al-Husainy led "almost-daily protests of thousands of Hezbollah supporters on the streets of Dearborn and Detroit, swarming with swastikas and anti-Semitic, anti-American signs." He also "delivered hate-filled, anti-American rhetoric" at "an anti-Semitic rally of 3,000 Hezbollah supporters at Dearborn's Bint Jebail Cultural Center." In August 2004, "he led anti-Bush, anti-American rallies on the streets of Dearborn," and at other times "he led a number of pro-HAMAS and pro-Arafat rallies in the area." At a rally honoring Arafat, "he and his followers held signs featuring enlarged photos of Khomeini." He also has a taste for conspiracy theories: in an interview, Al-Husainy said of Saddam Hussein that "I believe he is an agent of America," and attributed events in Iraq to the "Zionists": "We also think some outsiders, with some Iraqis, and, by the way, I don't want to exclude the Zionists. I think some extremists from the Mossad came in and took a chance to have some revenge, because we don't know who killed [Imam Mohammed Bakr] Al-Hakim or Sergio Vieira De Mello, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights."
