Soldier of Allah on business card of Nidal Hasan

From Fox News:

...Watchdogs say the first letters are shorthand among militant Muslims to "soldier of Allah." The last letters refer to "Subhanahu Wa Ta'all," which means "glory to God."

The business cards were among numerous discoveries in Hasan's apartment of interest to investigators, who also are looking into whether Hasan wired money to Pakistan before last week's massacre...

Four mosques, skyscraper to be seized by feds

A non-profit Muslim organization, the Alavi Foundation, appears to be controlled or linked or is a front group for the Iranian government.

...The government is seeking the forfeiture of  more than $500 million in assets of the Alavi Foundation and Assa Corp., an alleged front company.

The property includes Islamic centers in New York City, Maryland, California and Houston, more than 100 acres in Virginia, and the 36- story Piaget Building on Fifth Avenue. The tower, whose tenants include law and investment firms, was built in the 1970s by the shah of Iran, who was overthrown in 1979.

"For two decades, the Alavi Foundation's affairs have been directed by various Iranian officials, including Iranian ambassadors to the United Nations, in violation of a series of American laws," U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement.

The president of this foundation, Farshid Jahedi, was indicted in May.

Will the government go after Muslim organizations controlled or financed by Saudi Arabia next?

Reports: Nidal Hasan was zealously over religious

The Washington Post has published Nidal Hasan's power-point presentation titled "The Koranic World View as it relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military" that he gave to fellow Army doctors in 2007.  The title states the Koranic world view- not the jihadist world view.

On page 48 of the presentation,  he presented a slide that began with Osama Bin Laden's name and ended with "We love death more than your life".  Notice, he didn't write they love death more but "we love death more than you love life".

Hasan concluded Allah expects full loyalty and to establish an Islamic state to please Allah even by force is condoned in Islam.

 
The AP reported last night Fort Hood suspect's superiors questioned his behavior which was described as zealously overly religious.  He also was reported to behave belligerent, defensive and argumentative, at times.

Hasan had contact with an Al-Qaeda-linked American born Imam, Anwar Awlaki, before this man got promoted to major in May!  What? Awlaki was arrested in Yemen in 2006 with Al-Qaeda militants and jailed, for crying out loud.

And what's all this about the spin going on that intelligent agents didn't pursue Hasan's e-mails to Awlaki they intercepted because he was merely seeking spiritual advice?   Are you kidding me?  Awlaki is an enemy of the United States, wants our soldiers dead,  and should be charged with treason.  There is nothing spiritual in contacting a known enemy of our country.  To even suggest this is an insult to our intelligence.

What in the hell is wrong here?

Radical imam praises alleged Fort Hood shooter

...Awlaki is a native-born U.S. citizen who left the United States in 2002, eventually traveling to Yemen. He was released from a Yemeni jail last year and has since gone missing. He is on Yemen's most wanted militant list, according to three Yemeni security officials.

The officials say Awlaki was arrested in 2006 with a small group of suspected al-Qaida militants in the capital San'a. They say he was released more than a year later after signing a pledge he will not break the law or leave the country. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

On Dec. 23, 2008, Awlaki, on his Web site, encouraged Muslims across the world to kill U.S. troops in Iraq. Awlaki also used these postings to declare his support for the Somali terrorist group, al-Shabaab, according to the Homeland Security intelligence note, obtained by The Associated Press.

In December of last year, Customs officials intercepted a flash drive of Awlaki's lectures that his wife sent from Yemen to an Islamic publishing house in Denver, the intelligence note said...

Lou Dobbs resigns on air; last of the original anchors at CNN

Lou Dobb has been at CNN since it first came on air nearly 30 years ago.  Tonight, abruptly, he resigned. 

I don't blame him.  CNN sucks. Tonight, of all nights on Veterans Day, not even a week after the Ft. Hood massacre, Larry King interviewed Nidal Hasan's attorney.  First thing that popped out of King's mouth was about Hasan getting a fair trial.  His attorney said  " I'm greatly concerned that in the memorial service that was conducted here yesterday, we had an assemblage of some of the most senior members of the military establishment present.  Oh my God,  even the President was there he went on and then King said: "Well, is it obvious, Colonel, that the defense is going to deal with the mental responsibility question"?

Mental health?  Hasan was very vocal about his religious idealogy.  I had to change the channel, at that point, which I do all the time with CNN.  You simply do not get the full story on this channel, at times,  or you get a seriously liberal-tainted story.

Detroit taxi asssociation sue airport: allege race discrimination

A taxi cab association in Detroit, Michigan has sued the Detroit Airport for discrimination they allege because they are foreign born Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs. 

Nabih Ayad is their attorney.  He is also the co-chair of ALPACT, Advocates and Leaders for Police and Community Trust where Attorney General Eric Holder will speak on the 19th at their first annual awards banquet.  CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding trial,  is a member of ALPACT along with a number of other community organizations.

 The suit alleges:

A taxi drivers association says the Detroit and Wayne County has unconstitutionally barred them from the Detroit Metro Airport as of midnight Friday, Oct. 16 because the association's 340 members are overwhelmingly foreign-born and are Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs.

The Detroit Metropolitan Airport Taxi Association says the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport Authority has discriminated against its cab owners and drivers for years and have ordered them to keep away from the airport in violation of a 2007 contract.

In its federal complaint, the association airport officials have inflicted years of injuries, some petty and some major, because most of the association's workers are "minorities from the Middle East, India, Pakistan, Somalia and Bangladesh" and of "Hindu, Sikh and Muslim faith."

...The association seeks damages and an injunction. is represented by Nabih Ayad of Canton, Mich.

Airport officials claim the association did not pay a concession fee of $534,000.

Rep. Pete Hoekstra accuses Obama administration of withholding critical information

The ranking Republican on the House Intellgence Committee has accused the Obama administration of refusing to release "critical" information about the Ft. Hood Army Base shooting to Congress and to the public:

Rep. Pete Hoekstra, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, announced Monday that he's asked the heads of the FBI, NSA and CIA to "preserve" all documents and material connected to the attack. He said the administration has "critical information" that it is "refusing to release" to Congress and the public about the attack, and that lawmakers will want to "scrutinize" how intelligence officials handled information about the shooter before the attack. 

"I intend to push for intense review of this and other issues related to the performance of the intelligence community and whether or not information necessary for military, state and local officials to provide for the security of the post was provided to them," the Michigan Republican said in a written statement. 

Hoekstra's announcement came as ABC News reported that intelligence agencies knew for months that Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was trying to contact people associated with Al Qaeda. The report said it was unclear whether the agencies informed the Army. 

But a U.S. intelligence official told Fox News it would be wrong to allege the CIA had information about Hasan contacting Al Qaeda that it did not share with the Army. 

"There's no sign at this point that the CIA had collected information relevant to this case and then simply sat on it," the official said. 

CIA spokeswoman Marie Hard also said in a statement that "any suggestion that the CIA refused to brief Congress is flat wrong." 

Military and intelligence officials are starting to come under pressure from lawmakers in the wake of the Texas attack, which killed 13 people and wounded 29... 

Is this political bluster or a serious and truthful allegation?

UPDATE 11/9/09:  I heard Hoekstra on CNN last night who said he was getting his information from the media and requests for a Congressional briefing when the House was in session on Saturday were ignored.

It appears that many red flags given out by Hasan were not properly handled.

UPDATE 11/10/09:  Senior Official: More Hasan Ties to People Under Investigation by FBI

A senior government official tells ABC News that investigators have found that alleged Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan had "more unexplained connections to people being tracked by the FBI" than just radical cleric Anwar al Awlaki...

In Texas, an hour before a memorial service for the Fort Hood victims, four FBI agents showed up at the Killeen mosque where Hasan prayed and searched a trash bin outside. The mosque president was clearly upset when he had to return from traveling to the service to sign a document handed to him by agents, apparently authorizing the search.

...He recommended that Muslim soldiers be given the option of being released from the military as conscientious objectors to decrease what he called "adverse events." Under "comments," he wrote, "We love death more than you love life."

ZWERDLING: Earlier today, I spoke to a psychiatrist who worked very closely with Hasan and knows him very well. And he said, you know, from the beginning -and Hasan was there for four years - the medical staff was very worried about this guy...They have grand rounds, right? They, you know, dozens of medical staff come into an auditorium, and somebody stands at the podium at the front and gives a lecture about some academic issue, you know, what drugs to prescribe for what condition. But instead of that, he - Hasan apparently gave a long lecture on the Koran and talked about how if you don't believe, you are condemned to hell. Your head is cut off. You're set on fire. Burning oil is burned down your throat... ZWERDLING: I want to add something else about Hasan at Walter Reed. The psychiatrist I talked to today said that he was the kind of guy who the staff actually stood around in the hallway, saying: Do you think he's a terrorist, or is he just weird? And now, apparently, Walter Reed is in a lockdown mode where they've been instructed - all the staff has been instructed: Do not talk to anybody about this investigation, except military people. Do not talk to the FBI, because they're afraid, potentially, what if people decide investigating this that people missed potential warning signs about the guy?

American Islamic leader living in Yemen calls Major Hasan a hero

Imam Anwar Al Awlaki is a U.S. citizen (The 9/11 Commission Report, pg. 434, W.W. Norton, 2004) , who was an imam in Denver, Colorado, California, and Washington D.C. (area) and worked as the Muslim Chaplain at George Washington Univ. According to the NEFA Foundation he is major trouble:

...He was the “spiritual advisor” to 9/11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Midhar, and the Congressional Joint Inquiry on 9/11 reported that “the FBI agent responsible for the September 11 investigation informed staff that ‘there’s a lot of smoke there’ with regard to…[al Awlaki’s] connection to the hijackers...”

Al Awlaki lives in Yemen now.  In a blog post today titled "Nidal Hassan Did the Right Thing", he called the mass shooter at Ft. Hood a hero:

screen shot

Nidal Hassan is a hero. He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people. This is a contradiction that many Muslims brush aside and just pretend that it doesn’t exist. Any decent Muslim cannot live, understanding properly his duties towards his Creator and his fellow Muslims, and yet serve as a US soldier. The US is leading the war against terrorism which in reality is a war against Islam. Its army is directly invading two Muslim countries and indirectly occupying the rest through its stooges.

Nidal opened fire on soldiers who were on their way to be deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. How can there be any dispute about the virtue of what he has done? In fact the only way a Muslim could Islamically justify serving as a soldier in the US army is if his intention is to follow the footsteps of men like Nidal.

The heroic act of brother Nidal also shows the dilemma of the Muslim American community. Increasingly they are being cornered into taking stances that would either make them betray Islam or betray their nation. Many amongst them are choosing the former. The Muslim organizations in America came out in a pitiful chorus condemning Nidal’s operation. The fact that fighting against the US army is an Islamic duty today cannot be disputed. No scholar with a grain of Islamic knowledge can defy the clear cut proofs that Muslims today have the right -rather the duty- to fight against American tyranny. Nidal has killed soldiers who were about to be deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in order to kill Muslims. The American Muslims who condemned his actions have committed treason against the Muslim Ummah and have fallen into hypocrisy.

It has been reported Hasan's mother's funeral or burial was at the mosque when Awlaki was an Imam in May of 2001. 

ABC News also reports Hasan was known to intelligence officials for his attempts to contact Al-Qaeda and that the AP reported Sunday Hasan attended the Falls Church (Virginia) mosque when Awlaki was there.

The investigation is still in its early stages and to jump to any firm conclusion is premature.  Nor should anyone ever take any frustration or anger out on another person.

The truth will come out. 

If you can, please take a moment to pray for the families who lost their father or mother, brother or sister, son or daughter at Ft. Hood Army Base.

Update 11/10/09:  Awlak's website may have been taken down but here is a link to his archived pages through August 2008.  His about page states: 

About Imam Anwar al Awlaki

Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki was born in New Mexico, USA.
He studied the Islamic sciences of Quran, hadith, and fiqh with scholars from Yemen. Imam Anwar served as an Imam in Denver, Colorado; San Diego, California; and Falls Church, Virginia. He is the author of the audio series on “The Lives of the Prophets”, “The Hereafter”, “The Life and Time of Abu Bakr”, “The Life and Time of Umar” , “The Messenger of Allah” along with other single lectures.
Imam Anwar also holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Colorado State University, and a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership from San Diego State University.
Currently he resides in Yemen.

This enemy of the United States even has his own YouTube channel where he has a lot of vidoes about the hereafter.  The last were uploaded on November 6 about, surprise, surprise, the hereafter.  The first video in the latest upload talks about the greatest  terror - the day of judgment.  Depending on the time of the upload, it could have been the 6th in Yemen but the 5th in the U.S. - the day of the Ft. Hood shooting.  One of his lectures is about the the war is against Islam is creepy because he acts as if he is in America.

Why has he not been charged with treason?

Ft. Hood terrorist worn religious outfit morning of shooting

Below is a screen shot of the survallence video of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan buying coffee the morning of the shooting.

 

Hasan is alleged to have made the following comment in May after an article on martyrdom and suicide bombers :

There was a grenade thrown amongs a group of American soldiers. One of the soldiers, feeling that it was to late for everyone to flee jumped on the grave with the intention of saving his comrades. Indeed he saved them. He inentionally took his life (suicide) for a noble cause i.e. saving the lives of his soldier. To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate. Its more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause. Scholars have paralled this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers. If one suicide bomber can kill 100 enemy soldiers because they were caught off guard that would be considered a strategic victory. Their intention is not to die because of some despair. The same can be said for the Kamikazees in Japan. They died (via crashing their planes into ships) to kill the enemies for the homeland. You can call them crazy i you want but their act was not one of suicide that is despised by Islam. So the scholars main point is that "IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOUR INTENTION IS THE MAIN ISSUE" and Allah (SWT) knows best.

It has been reported his comment and some of his anti-foreign policy actions were brought to the attention of officials but in what context or if it is even true, is not clear, at this point.

Hasan  is on a ventilator and in stable condition and may have hollered "Allahu Akbar!" before he started his killing rampage.

Fort Hood Army Base shooting: 12 dead

A violent shooting has taken place at Ft. Hood Army Base in Texas.  Seven people are dead and more than 15 have been injured.

There may have been more than one shooter involved.  The army base is in lock-down and the FBI is on the way to the scene.

Update 3:28 PM CT:  One news report (CNN) says 9 have lost their life and up to 30 injured. 

No official word has confirmed any deaths.

Update 3:49 PM:  12 have died now.

Update 3:53 PM:  News conference with Lt. General Bob Cone:  terrible tragedy today.  At about 13:30 a shooter entered the readiness area -- shooter killed -- lockdown still in effect.  Eye witnesses said there may have been more than one involved -- Individuals involved were U.S. soldiers but investigation is ongoing as to their motive.

Update 4:15 PM:  Two other people, (military personnel) are in custody as possible suspects or other shooters.  31 wounded.

Update 4:44 PM:  It has been reported the shooter may have recently converted to Islam.  This has not be confirmed by officials, though. 

Update 4:55 PM:  Shooter's name:  Army Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan.  He was a psychiatrist who was transferred from Walter Reed Medical Center to Ft. Hood this past summer.

Update 6:25 PM:  Hasan was born and raised in America and had always been a Muslim, according to his cousin who was interviewed on Fox News by phone.  He abruptly ended the interview after a few minutes. 

The two other suspects have been released.

Update 6:49 PM:  A new suspect has been picked up, per Fox News who interviewed Congressman John Carter in Texas.

Ft, Hood is still on lock-down.

No confirmation about any of this has been made by military officials.

Update 7:00 PM:  Lockdown has now been lifted.

Update 7:28 PM:  Hasan had apparently written some blog posts or comments about suicide bombers.  He also made a comment to a military colleague that Muslims should rise up against the aggressor (the U.S.)

Update 8:15 PM:  Official press conference:  The shooter is not dead but in stable condition in a hospital.  Day of mouring tomorrow.  12 dead 31 wounded. Only gave shooter's name and will say anything about him.  Believe he is the only shooter but is counter to how many shots fired.  Most victims were military.  The FBI is on base.  Cannot rule out terrorism but doesn't appear so.  Shooter is not speaking to investigators - he didn't clarify. 

Update 11/9/09:  Hasan Communicated With Radical Religious Leader, Official Says

The official said Hasan’s communications were with Anwar al Awlaki, who news reports said was the imam at a Falls Church, Virginia, mosque when Hasan and his relatives worshipped there. U.S. authorities, who intercepted the communications before the attack at Fort Hood, determined the messages didn’t pose a threat, said the official, who requested anonymity.

Earlier today, the New York Times reported the communications Hasan had with al Awlaki, who is known for his anti-American views. A Web posting purportedly from al Awlaki praised the shooting at Fort Hood...

Saudi Arabia, Libya, Qatar, Bahrain embassies helped fund CAIR's annual banquet

Daila Mogehed, the president's faith-based Muslim advisor, was originally scheduled to be a keynote speaker at CAIR's annual fundraising banquet.  Jessie Jackson spoke to the group in her place.  Funding for the event was paid, in part, by the embassies of Saudi Arabia, Lybia, Qatar and Bharian.  None of the "local businesses" were identified.

Highlights from the dinner were found at Muslimlinkpaper:

...Many of the evening's speeches included references to the recent sensationalist press conference by four House Republicans — Paul Broun (R-GA), Trent Franks (R-AZ), Sue Myrick (R-NC) and John Shadegg (R-AZ) — who claimed Muslims were “infiltrating” Capitol Hill through placing Muslim interns in congressional offices. Increasing the number of Muslim interns on Captiol Hill is indeed a part of CAIR's agenda, but its an open program implemented by most advocacy organizations. Scores of mainstream newspaper and cable commentators ridiculed the press conference.

“Our children are not terrorists, they are America's brightest prospects,” Mahdi Bray said of the interns.

Dr. Esam Omeish, who vied for a place in the Virginia House of Delegates in last summer's elections, called on Muslims to embrace their citizenship, and said “being Muslim and American are one and the same” because they are “based on the same values.”

CAIR played the video of Rachel Maddow's MSNBC segment deriding the Muslim intern spy before Executive Director Nihad Award took the stage. Awad said the anti-CAIR campaign is rooted in Islamophobia, and told the audience most of the daily hate mail CAIR receives contain attacks on Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). 

Sponsoring the event were dozens of local and national organizations, businesses, families, and the embassies of Bahrain, Libya, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia...

Young Muslim woman run over by own father has died

(Myspace photo)

Noor Faleh Almaleki, the young Arizona Muslim woman who was run over by her father for being too westernized died last night.  She never regained consciousness.

Her father, Faleh Hassan Almaleki,  had fled to Britian by crossing the Mexican border.  He is now in custody in the U.S.

...Interviewed on arrival, Mr Almaleki told UK Border Agency officers that he was planning to spend a week visiting cousins in Glasgow, but he was denied entry because he had only $400 (£245) cash with him and his nominated sponsor in the UK was unemployed.

Officers also discovered on questioning Mr Almaleki that he lived in Arizona with his wife and seven children but when they tried to organise his return to the US they were told that he was wanted for assault over the attack on his daughter.

He was finally deported last Thursday and was taken to jail in Maricopa County, Arizona, to be held on charges of aggravated assault – charges that will now be upgraded.

"By his own admission, this was an intentional act and the reason was that his daughter had brought shame on him and his family," Stephanie Low, a Maricopa County prosecutor, told a court at the weekend. "This was an attempt at an honour killing."...

Sheriff Joe Arpalo will take great care of him.

Saturday's march for Sharia law called off in London

Islam4UK had planned a march for Sharia Law in London last Saturday. It was cancelled.

Anjem Choudary, leader of the radical Islamic group Al Muhajiroun, said that organisers of the Islam4UK demo had cancelled the march from the Houses of Parliament to Trafalgar Square on 31 October 2009 because of security concerns.

The Islamic Society of Britain, which was planning to join other organisations in staging a "dignified, non-violent" counter-demonstration, hailed the cancellation as a "great success".

A spokesperson said: "Pressure from all sections of the community, including Muslims, has resulted in the Muhajiroun and the hot-heads rethinking their position. They realised very few people would turn up to support them and they would attract only very negative publicity. Old-fashioned pressure has worked."

Another group, British Muslims for Secular Democracy, was also planning a peaceful counter-witness to the sharia march.

"Our objection to Islam4UK is based on our belief in, and commitment to, those liberal values that define the British state," said BMSD spokesperson, Dr Shaaz Mahboob...

According to Islam4UK's press release it was cancelled because other groups would try to prevent the march.  This link includes several videos.

Martyrs strike terror in the world in October, as they do every month

Muslims carried out a large number of attacks in the world in October.  At no time in history have these attacks been so high.  Islamists and their minions, including terrorists want to weaken the resolve of others, take eventual control and make Islam rule.  They will continue to do this day after day, month after month, year after year unless the world stands up to them and those who mold these jihadists into who they become. 

Why do you think we are at war?

In America, about a dozen Muslims were either arrested, indicted or had their sentence upheld last month for their jihadist activities.  The list of arrests and plots this year is striking and proves the warning put out by the Department of Homeland Security earlier this year that "right-wing" extremists are the biggest terrorist threat in America was completely off the mark and a total embarrassment to the department.

The Saudi-based OIC is the largest Islamic inter-governmental body in the world.  Their own Fiqh Council has ruled martyrdom is acceptable according to Islamic scripture and law for the sake of Allah or to protect Islam or to seek Islamic justice and is never to be called terrorism or is terrorism.  Martyrdom is part of the literal teachings of Islam.

So when Muslim leaders in America speak at local faith meetings don't just accept their statement that terrorism is not acceptable.  Ask them specifically about Islam's mandate for martyrdom.  There are verses in the Quran and hadiths that support giving up their life for Allah.  What chapters the the Quran support war?  When is martyrdom allowed according to Islamic law?  They may become uncomfortable but these are the questions that must be asked. And you need to press on in a polite, steady quiet manner.   Will they denounce martyrdom?  Will they put that in writing?  Followup.

Authors of Muslim Mafia went undercover at CAIR; face lawsuit

CAIR, an organization that grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood Hamas infrastructure in America, apparently, has sued the authors of Muslim Mafia who allegedly went undercover at CAIR in order gather information to write the book, according Courthouse News Service of which I am not familiar.

The author of a book called "Muslim Mafia" had his son use an alias to get an internship with the Council on American-Islam Relations (CAIR), and use his position to steal thousands of sensitive documents and record meetings, CAIR claims in Federal Court. CAIR claims that Paul Gaubatz conspired with his son Chris Gaubatz to hatch what he calls in his book - "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America" - "a 6-month counter-intelligence operation."

Chris Gaubatz told CAIR that he was a Muslim named David Marshall, a student at Ferrum College, and that his father was in the construction business, according to the complaint. As David Marshall, he signed confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements.

While an intern, Chris Gaubatz routinely filled the trunk of his car with boxes of sensitive documents - more than 12,000 of them, CAIR claims.

...CAIR seeks punitive damages for trespass, breach of contract, conversion, and breach of fiduciary duty...

H/T/ Politico

CAIR and other Islamist organizations and some Democrats have blamed the right-wing for this book and the call to investigate CAIR.

According to Politico the case is being heard by Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.  She ordered the released of two Gitmo detainees this summer.

So far, CAIR has been silent on this suit.

Muslim Public Affairs Council warns government agenices and media

The Muslim Public Affairs Council issued a press release, following the death of a controversial Imam in Detroit during a gun fight with the FBI, which warns the U.S. government about exploitation of the incident.

The Muslim Public Affairs Council today said it is "deeply disturbed" by the shooting death of a Detroit-area imam by FBI agents, who sought to arrest him and 11 other men on a host of criminal charges. MPAC called on the FBI and the Department of Justice to conduct an investigation into the events that led to the death of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah, leader of Masjid Al-Haqq.

...With so much left unknown in the developing case, MPAC is warning government agencies and media outlets of the alarming exploitation of this isolated incident that is stigmatizing Muslim American communities around the country. U.S. Attorney Terrence Berg today asked people not to connect the allegations brought against the group of men with Muslims in general.

"There is a clear and present danger in the escalating mob mentality against vulnerable Muslim Americans," said Salam Al-Marayati, MPAC Executive Director.

As is always the case with news reports regarding alleged terror plots, MPAC is concerned about the possibility of backlash against Muslim, African American, Arab, and South Asian Americans. Based on past experiences, we offer the following recommendations..."

The escalating mob mentality against Muslims?  Do they have specific examples?

The Muslim Brotherhood English website has featured MPAC's article as you can see in the screen shot I took today from their website.  Note the blue box which highlights the MB chair's statement that jihad is the path to liberate Al-Asqa mosque.  This mosque was built over a Jewish temple after Muslim invaded Jerusalem centuries ago.  Virtually, the whole Islamic world believes this land is their land.

 
MPAC has its own Hollywood Bureau where they seek to influence the mostly left-leaning industry and is another example how the left partners with Islamists.

MPAC has given media awards to Michael Moore, Alex Baldwin to name a few.  In fact,  Alex Baldwin is featured on the cover of their Hollywood brochure.

In May of 2007 MPAC spokeswoman appeared on CNBC's TV:

Here is a link to a copy of the newspaper which shows Lekovic lied during her TV appearance..

New York: Muslim wife slashes husand's throat for being too Western

A Muslim woman in New York tried to kill her husband Wednesday because he was too Western:

A soft-spoken Muslim woman tried to slit her husband's throat as he slept - enraged that he made her eat pork and wear sexy skirts, officials said.

"It's time for you to die!" screamed Rabia Sarwar as she pounced on hubby Sheikh Naseem, sources said.

He woke early Wednesday to find her straddling his chest and hacking at his neck with a knife.

...Sarwar was released on $25,000 bail after being arraigned yesterday on attempted murder rap charges. She claimed "months of emotional abuse and duress," sources said. Cops had no record of domestic abuse complaints against Naseem.

The husband survived.

Detroit Muslim leaders call shooting death of Imam entrapment

Wednesday's death of a Detroit area Imam who refused to surrender to the FBI was called entrapment by a group of Detroit Muslim leaders who met with the FBI:

Muslim leaders from metro Detroit said at a meeting today with the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office that the shooting death of a Detroit imam was a case of entrapment involving unreliable informants who targeted poor Detroiters.

Imam Abdullah El-Amin, head of the Muslim Center of Detroit, said he was one of about 20 imams who attended the 90-minute meeting this afternoon with FBI Detroit Special Agent in Charge Andrew Arean and U.S. Attorney Terrence Berg.

Federal authorities claim that Luqman Ameen Abdullah – shot dead Wednesday by FBI agents during a shootout – was a violent extremist bent on attacking the U.S. government and establishing Islamic rule.

But local Muslims told FBI officials at the meeting today that the criminal complaint reveals a case involving undercover informants who pushed Abdullah and his followers to deal in stolen fur coats, laptop computers and a couple of other minor crimes.

Meanwhile, the FBI arrested the slain Imam's son today.

Rap Brown).  It is an association of mosques in several cities in the U.S. that coordinates religious and social services primarily in the Black American community.
