Samir Khan's first inshaAllahshaheed blog, launched in 2004, mainly included materials about Tanzeem-e-Islami, a radical anti-Semitic group based in Pakistan that has a presence in the U.S.  Khan, who became involved with Tanzeem as a teenager through a summer program in Queens run by local members of the group, has identified himself as a member, specifically with the New York Chapter, on various posts to online forums over the years. 

Tanzeem-e-Islami, which describes itself as part of a movement to establish a global Islamic state, or the "khilafah," has a long record of anti-Semitism.  For example, in August 2004, Tanzeem's Pakistan-based leader, Israr Ahmed, warned during an appearance at the Peshawar Press Club that "the evil genius of the Jews and the world's only superpower, America, had joined hands" to "eliminate [Islam] from the face of the earth."

In October 2001, Ahmed reportedly sent faxes to mosques in the U.S. in which he claimed that "Jews are undertaking to fulfill their dream of world domination," and that the September 11 terrorist attacks were part of "this Zionist plan." Ahmed also expressed his support for the regime in Afghanistan, saying that the "Taliban government is based on upholding the supremacy of Islamic shariah." 

Shortly after the September 11 terrorist attacks, Tanzeem posted to its Web site in Pakistan an article by David Duke, in which he argued that the attack was the result of Jewish influence over the U.S.

Such anti-Semitic conspiracy theories have been spread by Tanzeem in the U.S. as well. For example, the former Tanzeem director of Da'wah (propagation of the faith) in the U.S., Imran N. Hosein, wrote a book, The Prohibition of Riba, which blames Jews for spreading usury in order to advance various conspiracies against humanity.  In the book Hosein wrote, "Allah revealed the wickedness of those Jews." Hosein returned to his native Trinidad in August 2003, after ten years in New York.

In recent years, the North American members of Tanzeem have attempted to reestablish the group as a mainstream American community organization.  In 2004, Tanzeem adopted a new name - the Islamic Organization of North America (IONA) - establishing a mosque in Warren, Michigan, and at least once participated in an interfaith event with a Jewish organization.

Despite its effort to "mainstream" itself, IONA maintains its official ties to the Pakistan and remains committed to its goals and extremist ideology. The press release from July 2004 announcing the formation of IONA, stated: "the Islamic activist movement in North America founded by Dr. Israr Ahmad has reorganized under the newly registered…IONA...This restructuring does not affect our core objectives or methodology."
