Won't stay here because of conference. This is a lovely hotel but after reading this on the news today we will not stay at this hotel or any Hilton Hotel in the future. Here is the official news item: "A group committed to establishing an international Islamic empire and reportedly linked to Al Qaeda is stepping up its Western recruitment efforts by holding its first official conference in the U.S. Hizb ut-Tahrir is a global Sunni network with reported ties to confessed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Al Qaeda in Iraq's onetime leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. It has operated discreetly in the U.S. for decades.

Now, it is coming out of the shadows and openly hosting a July 19, (2009) conference entitled, "The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam," at a posh Hilton hotel (the Oak Lawn Hilton) in a suburb of Chicago." (!)
