IPT News.....related video commentary

A picture of Nidal Malik Hasan is emerging from the slaughter he carried out Thursday during a ceremony at a Fort Hood readiness center, leaving 13 people dead and another 30 wounded.

Born in Virginia, sent to medical school by the U.S. Army, the psychiatrist was chastised for proselytizing to his patients about Islam. Asked his nationality, he didn't identify himself as an American but as a Palestinian. He appeared pleased by the shooting death of a Little Rock Army recruiter in June and reportedly was heard saying "maybe people should strap bombs on themselves and go to Times Square."

In the fateful moment before he opened fire on his unarmed victims, he shouted "Allahu Akhbar."

With each new disclosure, some media outlets and organized Islamist groups increasingly are trying to deflect attention away from Hasan's religious motivation. In a statement condemning the attack, the Muslim American Society's Freedom Foundation referenced past shootings by soldiers on their bases and cited the suicide rate at Fort Hood.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a statement once the killer's name was known condemning the attack and saying "No religious or political ideology could ever justify or excuse such wanton and indiscriminate violence."

The condemnations are welcome and appropriate if not the only thing that could be done in response to the tragedy. As we have noted previously, such unequivocal statements are much harder to come by when arrests are made before the killings can be carried out or when the killers share the Islamists' ideology.

Arab-American Anti Discrimination Committee President Mary Rose Oakar issued a statement calling the Hasan attack "absolutely deplorable." But she also emphasized that the violence "has nothing to do with any religion, race, ethnicity, or national origin."

Friday morning, CAIR national spokesman Ibrahim Hooper told radio interviewer John Hockenberry that Hasan's motivation remains unknown:

"He could have just snapped from some kind of stress. The thing is when these things happen and the guy's name is John Smith nobody says well what about his religious beliefs? But when it is a Muslim sounding name that automatically comes into it."

Contrast that with blogger Shahed Amanullah's willingness to address the matter with courage and honesty lacking among the American Muslim community's self-anointed national spokesmen:

"Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, was reportedly troubled by his impending deployment to Iraq. Mental instability and depression has resulted in violence within the armed forces before. But unless Hasan left an explicit message to that effect, a religiously-inspired political act of violence is, much as we'd be unwilling to admit it, entirely plausible. With that in mind, Muslims will have to ask themselves some difficult questions as to why there are still those among us who continue to find justification for acts such as this in their faith."

Hasan's murderous rampage is just the latest in a string of attempts to murder American soldiers at home. It's a point Daniel Pipes made in 2003 after Hasan Akbar, a sergeant in the 101^st Airborne Division, rolled a grenade into a tent holding his fellow soldiers on the eve of the invasion of Iraq. Akbar was found legally sane, convicted and sentenced to death in 2005.

In June, Abdulhakim Muhammad killed an Army recruiter in Little Rock and wounded a second recruiter. He told investigators he would have killed more people if he had seen them.

Fortunately, other plots were broken up by law enforcement before anyone got hurt. But in those cases, the Islamist organizations have cast the FBI as engaging in a sinister effort to entrap people otherwise uninterested in violence or incapable of carrying it out.

Among the examples:

Fort Dix

On May 7, 2007, six individuals were arrested for plotting an attack on the Fort Dix military base in New Jersey. The goal of the attack, according to court documents, was to "kill as many soldiers as possible." Following a jury trial, the plotters were found guilty on charges of conspiracy to harm U.S. military personnel on December 22, 2008. CAIR initially was supportive following the arrests saying, "we applaud the FBI for its efforts and repeat the American Muslim community's condemnation and repudiation of all those who would plan or carry out acts of terror while falsely claiming their actions have religious justification."

Later, CAIR also requested that media outlets and public officials refrain from linking this case to the faith of Islam. The council asked mosques and Islamic institutions in New Jersey and nationwide to report any incidents of anti-Muslim backlash.

Bronx Terror Plot

On May 20, 2009, James Cromitie and three others were arrested and indicted on charges arising from a plot to detonate explosives near a synagogue in the Bronx and to shoot down military planes at the New York Air National Guard Base at Stewart Airport in Newburgh, NY. Although they initially condemned the plotters and congratulated the FBI on its efforts, MPAC came to question the motives and methods of the FBI saying that "none of these cases that we're talking about now involved in al Qaida cells. These were individuals who were either petty criminals or gullible people who were guilty of stupidity. They were not imminent threats to our country, as the FBI has stated."

North Carolina Jihad

On July 27, 2009, Daniel Patrick Boyd and six others were indicted in North Carolina for planning to "advance violent Jihad including supporting and participating in terrorist activities abroad and committing acts of murder, kidnapping, or maiming persons abroad," after three years of being under surveillance by the FBI. Among the allegations was that Boyd and his co-conspirators intended to attack the Quantico Marine base. Because a member of Boyd's group cooperated with law enforcement, MPAC insinuated the FBI improperly investigated the case: "the arrests come at a time when questions have been raised about the use of FBI informants in mosques and tense relations between law enforcement and local communities."

The same pattern has been applied in the past two weeks, since FBI agents shot and killed a Detroit imam who fired first. Luqman Abdullah had a long history of advocating an offensive jihad and using his mosque for training in martial arts and with weapons. Yet CAIR and other Islamist groups have argued his religious justifications should not be a part of the case and allege the FBI reacted with excessive force after Abdullah fired his weapon.

There's obviously a lot more to Hasan's attack still to be learned. He reportedly dreaded his pending deployment to Iraq and may have snapped. But to dismiss his statements about people "strap[ping] bombs on themselves" or that Muslims should rise up and fight the aggressors is irresponsible and counter productive.

This is no isolated incident and the sooner national groups face that fact, the sooner they might heed Amanullah's challenge to engage in a genuine search for the causes and confront those who help foster such violent ideology.

The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) is a non-profit research group founded by Steven Emerson in 1995. It is recognized as the world's most comprehensive data center on radical Islamic terrorist groups. For more than a decade, the IPT has investigated the operations, funding, activities and front groups of Islamic terrorist and extremist groups in the United States and around the world. It has become a principal source of critical evidence to a wide variety of government offices and law enforcement agencies, as well as the U.S. Congress and numerous public policy forums. Research carried out by the IPT team has formed the basis for thousands of articles and television specials on the subject of radical Islamic involvement in terrorism, and has even led to successful government action against terrorists and financiers based in the United States.

Frontpage Interview's guest today is Dave Gaubatz, the first U.S. civilian (1811) Federal Agent deployed to Iraq in 2003. He is the owner of DG Counter-terrorism Publishing. He is currently conducting a 50 State Counter-terrorism Research Tour (CTRT). He is the co-author (with Paul Sperry) of the new book, Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that's Conspiring to Islamize America.

FP: Dave Gaubatz, welcome to Frontpage Interview.

A terrible tragedy occurred yesterday at Ft. Hood, Texas. Because you are the co-author (with Paul Sperry) of the new book Muslim Mafia, I would like to ask you this: are there any correlations between your message in the book about the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood and the murder spree at Ft. Hood?

Gaubatz: Thanks Jamie.

Yes. The murders by Malik Nadal Hasan at Ft. Hood, TX are not a 'lone wolf incident' as being described by most media organizations. Hasan had been taught the ideology that is being advocated by hundreds of Islamic scholars and Imams in the U.S. We as a country can continue to deny there are numerous Islamic leaders and their supporting organizations such as CAIR, ISNA, MSA, and MANA, to name a few, who advocate killing innocent men, women, and children whom they allege 'oppress Islam.'

How many more incidents similar to this that have been occurring in America does it take before even the media wants to report the truth? Politicians will always say or do whatever will get them their next vote in an upcoming election, but there was a time in our history when journalists reported everything and were not concerned with 'political correctness.'

This type of journalistic reporting is dangerous and in itself is a national security issue. Journalists and their affiliated news organization are so afraid of being labeled or sued by organizations such as CAIR that they will withhold the truth from the American people. In part, the murders of innocent people are partly the fault of such journalists and politicians who support organizations such as CAIR.

FP: Your thoughts on CAIR and what happened at Ft. Hood?

Gaubatz: My team and I have conducted first-hand research at over 200 Islamic Centers in the U.S., and in various Islamic organizations such as CAIR. There is one common denominator: There is an open hatred being advocated by Islamic scholars toward Christians, Jews, and Muslims who do not adhere to 'all aspects' of Sharia law (Islamic law).

The materials being distributed by these scholars are very clear in their message:  violence against anyone who "oppresses" Islam is justified. It makes them subject to the punishment of death. Rifqa Bary (the 17-year-old Muslim girl who left Islam for Christianity) tried to speak out, but has been ignored. Many more Muslims have tried to speak out but the PR machine of the Muslim Brotherhood (backed by Saudi and Egyptian money) keeps them silent.

Young Muslims know what is being taught at their mosques, but have no other choice but to follow their parents and the Imams. If they try to speak out they know there are few politicians, law enforcement, lawyers, or judges who will help them. They are afraid of becoming the victims of people like Malik Hasan who will carry out the orders of the Muslim Brotherhood.

FP: Can you give us some examples of what Muslims in America are being taught and why you believe Malik Hasan was carrying out the orders of the Muslim Brotherhood?

Gaubatz: Jamie there are numerous examples. I will provide a few. Investigative journalists need to ask Imams across our country what these following statements mean and if it is likely and very possible that Muslims could use these teachings to commit acts such as occurred at Ft. Hood, Va. Tech, 'Trolley Square" (SLC, UT), and numerous other locations.

FP: Where do Muslims get this type of material?

Gaubatz: This type of material is openly provided to Muslims across America. Islamic scholars have convinced our politicians, courts, and law enforcement that this type of material is covered under our U.S. Constitution's First Amendment.

Americans need to determine for themselves if the calling for the destruction of our country and the safety of our children was intended by our forefathers. I believe most reasonable people would say violence advocated against innocent people was not the intention of our forefathers, thus this conclusion would leave open the debate that many current politicians are not reasonable people and/or have been 'bought' by professional lobbyists within CAIR and similar Muslim Brotherhood organizations. Their personal agenda is leaving our country vulnerable to attack from within.

FP: Final thoughts on the Ft. Hood tragedy?

Gaubatz: Expect more. Israel has endured 'suicide/attacks' similar to this for many years. Malik Nabal Hasan is a terrorist supporting the ideology of Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, and yes, CAIR. In Palestine, the leaders send out the young and vulnerable to carry out the murders in the name of Islam. The same is happening in America.

Support organizations such as ACT! for America because these Americans are educating themselves about such organizations as CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood. They are great people who care about our country and the innocent people worldwide. I encourage everyone to not only read the book Muslim Mafia, but to conduct their own research of the information outlined in the book. Paul Sperry did an outstanding job. Provide a copy to your local politicians and law enforcement officials and ask them what they are doing to protect innocent people in their localities from the Muslim Brotherhood ideology.

FP: Dave Gaubatz, thank you for joining us, for your courage to tell the truth, and for standing up for America.

Sadly, those lessons are not the ones being emphasized by Islamic advocacy groups that present themselves as moderate. While many details remain undisclosed, basic facts about the incident are public and show that Luqman Abdullah's actions triggered the events that led to his death. Thus, he is a poor example for alleging FBI malfeasance.

Abdullah was charged in a criminal complaint with conspiring to sell stolen goods, violating weapon laws and other crimes rooted in his leadership of a Detroit area mosque. Given his record of encouraging his followers to keep armed and to resist law enforcement, he was considered armed and dangerous by arresting agents.

Abdullah was shot and killed when he fired first, killing an FBI dog.

Four other defendants who were with Abdullah in a warehouse when agents stormed in last week were arrested unharmed after surrendering. The bottom line is one guy fired his weapon. One guy got shot. Nothing happened to the others. That's not a sign of recklessness by the authorities.

Critics have disparagingly focused on the dog's death, as if the fire returned was based on a moral judgment equating a human life with an animal's. The dog, a Belgian Malinois named Freddy, will be honored on the FBI's memorial wall.

Where he aimed is less an issue than the fact that Abdullah fired his weapon during that tense moment in which agents were ordering suspects considered armed and dangerous to surrender.

Abdullah was a protégé of Jamil Al-Amin, the former Black Panther born H. Rapp Brown. Al-Amin is serving a life prison sentence for the 2000 killing of a Fulton County Sheriff's deputy who came to serve him with an arrest warrant. Al-Amin maintains his innocence but his appeals since his 2002 conviction have gone nowhere.

Abdullah helped raise money for Al-Amin's legal expenses and, according to the criminal complaint, adhered to Al-Amin's ambition of creating a state within the U.S. governed by Islamic law.

Abdullah preached offensive jihad and used his mosque for training in martial arts and with firearms. He was recorded in a 2004 sermon yelling, "Police, so what? Police die too! Feds die too!" and "Do not carry a pistol if you're going to give it p to police. You give them a bullet."

He also vowed he would not go peacefully should law enforcement ever come to get him. Arresting agents knew this when they cornered Abdullah last week.

With that as context, the hyperbolic reaction emanating from supposedly sober, reliable partners of law enforcement is troubling.

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) issued a statement that was an exercise in double-speak. First, it stressed its support for law enforcement "and finds no justification for resisting duly executed arrest warrants. It further calls on all Muslims to reject any attempts that aim at undermining the rule of law or subverting the constitution."

Having said that, it demanded a full investigation into the shooting, saying the Muslim community "must be persuaded that FBI agents do not use excessive force or act out of an unfounded suspicion and exaggerated fear."

It might be persuasive for ISNA to say that, based on the available information, Abdullah harbored a deep hatred of the police, vowed not to go down without a fight and seems to have made a horrible decision which ended his life.

At least ISNA's statement had a measure of balance. Dawud Walid, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Michigan office, has been in the forefront of those seeking to turn Abdullah's actions into an indictment of the FBI. A Detroit columnist offered this quote about the episode:

"'Is this the kind of excessive force that we black Americans are all too familiar with?' Walid asked. Walid is also troubled by the use of informants and what he called agent provocateurs who entice people into criminal activities."

In a word, no. The kind of "excessive force" he refers to usually involves beatings and shootings of unarmed suspects. It's a legitimate issue that is not connected to this case. These concerns would resonate more deeply had Abdullah been unarmed, or had laid down his weapon and chosen to fight the allegations against him in court and still been gunned down. But that's not what happened.

The American Muslim Task Force on Civil Right and Elections (AMT) also has called for "an independent investigation of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah's death [to] make public the exact circumstances in which he died."

The AMT faulted the complaint against Abdullah and 11 other men for citing the religious justification used in the group's alleged criminal activity.

We're used to seeing these same players criticize and seek to undermine counter-terror investigations by labeling them as anti-Muslim witch hunts or rife with other flaws. In this case, they're not only deflecting attention away from the allegations in the complaint, they're casting federal law enforcement as trigger happy killers.

Meanwhile, Imam Abdul Alim Musa, who served with Abdullah on the board of the Muslim Alliance of North America (MANA), went on Iranian state television to call Abdullah's death an "assassination:"

"This is to intimidate the rest of the Muslim community. The Muslims in America are under a lot of pressure and the masjids, the Muslim centers, the community centers are full of government infiltrators, spies, and saboteurs who try to break the back of this wonderful Islamic movement in North America.

So what the government is doing by assassinating Imam Luqman is trying to intimidate the Muslim community, especially the black community."

Musa is the same imam who defended Jamil Al-Amin by invoking a threatening statement and who defended suicide bombers as martyrs destined for paradise.

A New York Times story on the brewing controversy did find one clear-eyed religious leader who pinpointed the motivation behind it. Eide A. Alawan, director of the office of interfaith outreach at the Islamic Center of America, told the newspaper:

"This is not the first time in history that someone has used a religion to do some harm in the name of faith. Now is an opportune time for some to show their militancy. It gets attention. But it's no different than the Ku Klux Klan in the 40s and 50s using the cross."

An FBI team is in Detroit investigating the shooting. Because it took place in Dearborn, police there also have jurisdiction and are investigating, too. Regardless of their findings, don't expect those stirring the pot to express satisfaction with the outcome.

The elements here are simple and the lesson is clear. An ideology of confrontation with the authorities does not end well. Some fringe elements are calling Abdullah a martyr and no doubt many will view him that way.

In doing so, they will serve only to harden more hearts and foster future violence. That's quite a legacy.

In furtherance of the plot, the alleged leader of the conspiracy, Daniel Boyd, conducted reconnaissance on the Marine base and possessed weapons intended for the attack. During their search of Boyd's house, authorities seized 26 weapons and more than 27,000 rounds of ammunition. Boyd, whose two sons were charged in the material support indictment, claims to have trained and fought in Afghanistan in the early 90's and also led a small group practicing military tactics and the use of weapons on private property in N.C. in July 2009.

In addition to radicalizing his two sons, Boyd also allegedly played a key role in the recruitment of others in the network. As David S. Kris, Assistant Attorney General for National Security, remarked: "This case underscores the potential threat that U.S. citizens with foreign fighter experience pose upon returning to the United States, specifically in terms of inciting other U.S.-based individuals to follow their example. They return from conflict zones with combat experience, a network of contacts overseas and strong credibility with...recruits seeking an authority figure." Notably, Daniel Boyd's father was a U.S. Marine Corps Captain decorated with 4 Purple Hearts, his brother reportedly "works for the Pentagon," and his truck was adorned with a "Support our Troops" bumper sticker.

This PowerPoint report includes numerous government photographs of weapons, ammunition, and other items seized by the FBI during the search of Boyd's house and excerpts from the Facebook pages of certain conspirators. Accompanying the report, the NEFA Foundation is releasing a revealing FBI summary of an interview with Daniel Boyd's son Dylan, which provides further insight into the network.

FULL REPORT

-----------------
The NEFA Foundation plays a role in the fight against terror through cohesive and comprehensive efforts to research, analyze, and disseminate information pertaining to past and current terrorist activities. The Foundation shares its findings with law enforcement agencies and the intelligence community where appropriate, and works with other research organizations to educate the public on the threat of terrorism. NEFA, by funding extensive field research, is able to obtain original documents as well as develop an on-the-ground understanding of events.

"The passage of this final bill is a huge step in relocating NBAF to Kansas and provides $27 million for design and planning and $5 million to begin construction of the lab," stated Brownback. "There is no better place for NBAF than in Kansas, which is already the center of the world's best animal health research, and this lab is vitally important to protecting our nation's food supply." Senator Roberts said, "The Congress has made a significant investment to the new NBAF in Kansas. I want to thank Senator Brownback for his hard work in Committee and look forward to working with the State and the Department of Homeland Security as the $32 million in design and construction funding is spent."

Brownback is a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, the subcommittee on Homeland Security, and was a part of the conference committee negotiations. Roberts is the honorary chair of the NBAF Task Force and spearheaded the effort, beginning in 2005, to bring NBAF to Kansas. The aging NBAF lab on Plum Island, N.Y., is being phased out and moved to Manhattan, Kansas. The NBAF lab, sometimes referred to as the CDC for animal science, will ensure public health and the safety and security of our national food supply. It will provide integrated research, response, and diagnostic capabilities to protect animal and public health. It is estimated that over a 20-year period, NBAF will have a $3.5 billion impact on the Kansas economy. The proposed site is a $451 million, 500,000- square-foot building and will create as many as 500 high-paying, scientific federal jobs in Kansas and will bring additional jobs in research partnerships to the state. - High Plains Publishers

Dominant Social Theme: The system comforts with its seeming inevitability?

Free-Market Analysis: The heartland of the United States was once the bastion of free-market common sense in an increasingly socialized world. It probably remains so, but its leadership is moving in another direction. This little squib of an article is a perfect example of how larger insanities - well, from our point of view, anyway - trickle down and become accepted dominant social themes.

How so? The article quotes two standup Congressmen as lauding US Homeland Security as well as the concept of government investment in a spanking new NBAF lab, which will "ensure public health and the safety and security of our national food supply." The article also states that the laboratory will create as many as 500 high-paying, scientific, federal jobs in Kansas.

Let's take the smaller points first. Government doesn't create jobs, people do, individually through human action. How many jobs were actually LOST from the taxation and monetary stimulation utilized to provide the funds for this new lab? For those not sure where we are coming from with this question, take a quick read of Henry Hazlitt's, "Economics in One Lesson." Second, government does not and cannot protect the public as regards "animal and public health." Government is essentially a reactive enterprise. The bureaucracy reacts mostly to salvage and perpetuate its employment and pension benefits. Finally, there is apparently no reason for the creation and continued expansion of Homeland Security into every nook and cranny of America's putative free-market system. Let's examine this significant issue a bit more closely.

The Congressmen mentioned in this article apparently have a good deal of interaction with Homeland Security. This sprawling, increasingly dangerous organization is treated with extraordinary courtesy and polity. Yet according to the lead litigator for the 9/11 Commission Report - that was used to justify the creation and expansion of Homeland Security - chances are most likely the entire political and military establishment lied about 9/11 and its aftermath. With the 9/11 report thoroughly discredited, one would believe that there would be a clamor, at least in the heartland, for a renewed investigation into 9/11 and the massive intelligence bureaucracy that it spawned (Homeland Security).

At the very least, Homeland Security itself, which has no place in a constitutional republic, and the unlimited wiretapping that the FBI and other agencies are now pursuing, should come under increased scrutiny. We believe, in fact, a day of reckoning is coming, but not yet. A few more high profile cases, a few more instances of "whistleblowers" coming forward as they have regarding routine CIA torture, and this last political rotten borough will begin to feel the sanitizing effects of sunshine.

Something that is not mentioned in the above article, but that the Daily Bell routinely writes about, is the apparent insanity of the West's global economy, driven by an increasingly unaccountable central banking establishment. There is no justification for central banking, which is essentially a practice of fixing the price and supply of money - an impossibility if one believes in free-market economics, the law of supply and demand, marginal utility, etc.

The United States' new, KGB-like Homeland Security Agency is erected on a lie, or a series of lies, according to the lead litigator of the 9/11 Commission who believes that the entire socio-political establishment of the US did not tell the truth about 9/11 and its aftermath. The US economy is central-banking based, and we wonder how many people (outside those directly benefiting) can justify endless human-intervention in the basic money-stuff of the national - and international - economy. Finally, the most basic economic tenets of the market are routinely violated by US politicians and certain economists maintaining that the government can "protect" citizens from a variety of ills when it patently cannot - or stating with straight faces that government creates jobs.

So we ask you, dear reader, is the United States clinically insane? Only a century ago, we could not really have asked this question. The trends were not nearly so well developed yet. But with the erection of yet another arm of its military-industrial complex based on an extremely dubious rationale, and with its economic policies based on price-fixing and monetary manipulation, we wonder if the US has reached the tipping point.

Conclusion: Yes, dear reader, we wonder if the US sociopolitical and monetary elite has gone off the charts. We wonder if, were this group evaluated en masse, whether the verdict would be clinical insanity. A state of affairs that would exist in our opinion when actions taken and the solutions implemented on a personal and professional level have little or nothing to do with tackling actual ills. The solutions bear little relationship to the problems purportedly being solved but which in fact tend to exacerbate them. You could actually ask this about the entire Western leadership, including those at the head of the increasingly enlarging EU. Are we wrong to wonder?

The gunfire began when the FBI tried to arrest Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah, whose original name was Christopher Thomas, for his involvement in a crime ring along with followers of his. Abdullah violently resisted, and managed to shoot and kill one of the FBI's dogs before falling to gunfire.

The spiritual leader of Ummah is Jamil Abdullah al-Amin, a former Black Panther who is in jail for killing two police officers in Georgia that tried to arrest him. To Abdullah, he was just following in his leader's footsteps and carrying out the "offensive jihad" against the U.S. government he had long preached about.

The government also indicted 11 of Abdullah's followers on charges including illegal possession and sale of firearms, conspiracy and theft of interstate shipments, mail fraud to obtain the proceeds of arson, and tampering with vehicle identification numbers. Some fled to Canada, including Abdullah's oldest son, who was arrested in Ontario. His son trained about 60 youth in martial arts at the mosque and was part of what was called the "Sura team," a group that carried guns to protect the mosque.

Martial arts instruction isn't the only form of paramilitary training that Ummah gave its members. The FBI affidavit said that "many" of the followers were armed and were encouraged to have guns. Some of the members were provided with firearms training.

The group is very similar to Jamaat ul-Fuqra, a group led by Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani, a radical cleric based in Pakistan. The group has a branch in North America called "Muslims of the Americas" with dozens of sites and several closed-off communities in rural areas used as paramilitary training sites, some as large as 70 acres. Like Ummah, the group is almost entirely African-American, has many prison converts, many of its members engage in criminal activity, and is actively trying to create miniature Islamic states inside the U.S.

Jamaat ul-Fuqra seems to share everything in common with Ummah, although no reports have come out to show that Muslims of America-affiliated mosques and communities are explicitly calling for war against the U.S. government. However, few, if any reports came out before the Detroit shootout about the Ummah's preaching of jihad, either. The close parallels warrant an investigation by the FBI into whether Ummah has ties to Jamaat ul-Fuqra, given their common objective, type of recruits, and desire for their followers to receive guerilla warfare training. "Muslims of America" compounds would seem to be the natural destination of Ummah members seeking such instruction and camaraderie.

There is no evidence out of a link yet, but at this early stage in the investigation into Ummah it should be noticed that Jamaat ul-Fuqra has an isolated community in Combermere in Ontario, Canada, the same province where Abdullah's oldest son was arrested. And according to a federally-funded 2004 report by the National White Collar Crime Center, Jamaat ul-Fuqra had a training compound in Coldwater, M.I., about two hours from Detroit at the time of the report's publication. The report also described Jamaat ul-Fuqra as having had "activity" in Detroit including murders and bombings, and having had operations elsewhere in the state.

The Ummah has also had friends in the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the prominent Muslim advocacy group that claims to be moderate but was formed originally as part of Muslim Brotherhood's networks. The organization was also listed as an un-indicted co-conspirator in the trial of the Holy Land Foundation, a charity found to have acted as a covert fundraiser for Hamas.

The American-Muslim Taskforce, an umbrella organization counts CAIR among its members, is demanding an investigation into the killing of Abdullah. One thousand people attended his funeral. The head of CAIR's branch in Michigan, Dawud Walid, has also gone to bat for Abdullah, saying he was "chartiable."

"He would open up the mosque to homeless people. He used to run a soup kitchen and feed indigent people...I knew nothing of him that as related to any nefarious or criminal behavior," he said.

Internal CAIR documents show that CAIR helped fundraise for the legal appeal of Jamil Abdullah al-Amin. Imam Abdullah's rage against the U.S. government was also triggered in part by CAIR's campaign to paint the War on Terror as a War on Islam. The complaint against him quotes him as saying, "CAIR and everybody send me all of this stuff. I get sick...I got some soldiers with me. ... Brothers that I know would, you know, if I say 'Let's go, we going to go and do something.'"

The threat from Ummah is not over. It is described by the FBI as a "nationwide radical fundamentalist Sunni group," and the death of Abdullah will not end their spreading of radical Islam and the skills to turn that ideology into deadly action. With Jamaat ul-Fuqra potentially available to provide the training, a match between the two would create a force capable of waging guerilla war, inside or outside the U.S. as part of their goal to create a miniature Islamic state inside America. The FBI must make sure that such an alliance is not formed.

This article originally was published by The Hudson Institute's Hudson New York web site. To see the original, click

In 1993, a secret meeting of the Muslim Brotherhood Palestine Committee-mostly senior Hamas leaders--was held in a Philadelphia Marriott. The group discussed new ways to secretly funnel money to Hamas and of creating a new public relations organization to deceive the American about their true objectives of helping Hamas.

Less than a year later, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) was created to serve as a front group for Hamas. Since that time, it has morphed into a quasi legitimate "Islamic civil rights" group portrayed in some circles as the equivalent of the NAACP. For 14 years, CAIR got away with the lying to us about who they are, justifying Islamic terrorist attacks, legitimizing suicide bombings, presenting speakers who had been Holocaust deniers, making incendiary presentations about the United States and urging Muslims not to talk to the FBI. CAIR claims that that there is no such thing as radical Islam, but rather a secret cabal to attack all of Islam, while secretly receiving millions of dollars from Saudi financiers and attacking terrorist prosecutions as somehow an "attack on Islam."

CAIR now has dozens of chapters which host annual banquets featuring not only radical speakers, but outside guests including chiefs of police, congressmen, FBI and DHS officials-even getting Tampa and Houston to declare "CAIR Day' in their respective cities. (In fairness, Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio announced this year that she would no longer do so after studying CAIR's record.)

On the other side, the FBI-despite 14 years of a cozy relationship with CAIR-finally decided to sever relations with CAIR in late 2008 for its ties to Hamas. In the trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, an FBI agent testified that CAIR was a front for Hamas. In other words, CAIR was a front for a terrorist group. And it was named as an un-indicted co-conspirator as well in the case.

Bravo to the FBI for making the right and politically courageous decision.

Last week, a new book, Muslim Mafia, disclosed or elaborated on many of these developments within CAIR. Four Congressmen, led by Sue Myrick, (R-N.C), held a press conference to protest the fact that CAIR, a Hamas front group, had a plan to insert interns into key congressional committees. The book made plenty of other disclosures that were highlighted by the Congressman.

And what happened? Those other points were discarded by the media, which picked up CAIR's dissembling spin that the Congressmen advocated a witch hunt against all Muslim staffers on Capitol Hill. They said no such thing.

CNN never challenged any of the demonstrably false statements made by a CAIR official it interviewed. The news website Politico whitewashed CAIR. Cynthia Tucker of the Atlanta Journal Constitution called CAIR a "mainstream" group unfairly targeted by right wing wackos. Congressmen John Conyers and Loretta Sanchez, who had done CAIR's bidding for years, were among those who leapt to CAIR's defense. They all bought into CAIR's manifestly ludicrous claim that attacking CAIR was somehow tantamount to attacking all of Islam.

That has been CAIR's modus operandi since its inception.

CAIR often throws out unsubstantiated charges of bigotry to deflect attention away from its detailed and documented record of conning the American people. My organization challenged those specious claims in a thorough report that can be seen here.

Much of the damning information about CAIR came out well before the book, primarily through evidence in the HLF trial. And yet earlier this year, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ordered that CAIR officials be included in conference calls about the Middle East; the State Department even dispatched key CAIR officials-some of whom have made blatantly racist statements claiming that the reports of the Darfur genocide was actually part of a "Zionist" conspiracy-on official US diplomatic missions. The Department of Homeland Security, despite being briefed that CAIR was a front group for a terrorist organization, had official meetings with CAIR. And it appointed recently as a senior advisor to DHS a member of an organization that believes that Hizballah is a good group that should not be classified as terrorist.

And in the last few years, National Public Radio (NPR), the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and the Detroit News-to pick at random from the media--have become a cheerleading squads for CAIR, interviewing CAIR officials as if they were no different that Rotary Club officials while suppressing any negative information about CAIR. For the mainstream media, it seems, the government is more of an evil force than Hamas. The New York Times' public editor even made the startling admission last year that it did not call Hamas a terrorist group, "though it sponsors acts of terror against Israel."

The reason? The paper's Jerusalem bureau chief finds "the word terrorist is politically loaded and overused" and there are Hamas members not directly involved in killing people.

And not all Klansmen engaged in lynching. But no one would hesitate to call out the KKK for the racism and terror at the root of its ideology and tactics.

Contrast that with the free pass given to CAIR. Where is CAIR on stoning on women? Senior CAIR officials adamantly refuse to condemn the barbaric practice of stoning Muslim women. Where is CAIR on Israel and Jews? Some senior CAIR officials routinely refer to Jews as "Zionazis" and top CAIR guests at their dinners-most recently former Congressman Paul Findley-blamed Israel for the horrific attacks on 9-11. Right after 9-11, top CAIR officials denied that Saudis were behind those horrific attacks.

There is a much larger pattern here that just the apologia or selective amnesia for CAIR. The free pass given to radical Islam has become a pandemic. The Goldstone Report, which purported to document "Israeli war crimes" in the war with Hamas in January, was one of the most dangerously one-sided, dishonest reports ever produced by the United Nations. Naturally the New York Times played it as a lead item on the front page without any skepticism by their reporter, who is known to take CAIR hand outs.

The Goldstone report effectively took all of the propaganda put out by Hamas-much of it demonstrably false-and presented it as a fact. If applied to the United States, the report would have branded every soldier and every officer in the Iraq and Afghanistan war a "war criminal." The fact that the Goldstone report has gotten this far is attributable to one thing only: the existence of a powerful Islamic lobby at the United Nations.

In yet another example of the inverted focus when it comes to radical Islam, Random House, Yale University Press, and now a German publisher, won't publish books that are "critical" of, or potentially offensive to, Muslim extremists. Even the much celebrated journalist Fareed Zakaria of CNN and Newsweek showed his true profile in cowardice when he advised Yale University Press not to include images of the Prophet Muhammed in a book about the controversy stirred by the 2005 publication of the Danish cartoons.

There's been a lot of talk lately about balanced reporting. These examples show how easily terrorists and their sympathizers receive more than the benefit of the doubt in the public debate. They get outright support from supposedly neutral third party observers and license to continue their deceit and treachery.

The mind boggles.

Steven Emerson, executive director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, is the author of 6 books on national security and Middle Eastern terrorism.

The Hudson Institute is a nonpartisan policy research organization dedicated to innovative research and analysis that promotes global security, prosperity, and freedom

Reassuring the public that no more will innocent Taliban and frightened Muslim detainees whose only crime was being Osama bin Laden's bodyguard, or going to Pakistan to train and kill infidel women and children, be detained off Cuba and forced to eat three square meals a day and wear orange jumpsuits. This is a New America concerned not with foreign enemies, but with domestic critics of Barry Hussein... all of whom have now been revealed to be Unpatriotic and Unamerican extremists by the latest report in Pravda's Newsweek bureau.

Dissent was of course the highest form of patriotism up until 2009, when it meant impeding America's attempts to defend itself from Muslim terrorism. Now of course dissent is itself the worst form of terrorism since it inhibits Obama's ability to get us trillions of dollars into debt to Communist China... which like all socialist deficit spending is naturally the highest form of patriotism. And if you're confused by any of that, you obviously haven't been reading enough Newsweek or watching MSNBC's Pravda bureau.

The new officially approved White House rendering of a wanted terrorist looks a lot less like Ahmed the Dead Terrorist and a lot more like Glenn Beck. Because people who say things that Obama doesn't like are the new terrorists. But what of the old terrorists? The United States is already negotiating with Iran and trying to convince the Taliban to take our money in exchange for trying to kill us less. Hamas will be part of a unity government that will allow Fatah to accept Israeli territorial concessions, that Hamas itself will disavow when it destroys Fatah at the conclusion of the negotiations. In other words, Welcome Back Ahmed is the new model of the day.

Welcome Back Ahmed has dominated Europe literally for some time now, where country after country is being swamped by charming jolly fellows from Pakistan, Jordan and all parts of the Dar Al Islam, who only want to earn a living, raise their families and chop off the heads of anyone resistant to the idea of imposing Sharia law on one and all.

The Welcome Back Ahmed problem hasn't bypassed the Western Hemisphere or Australia either. America seems bent on importing Somali pirates as cab drivers, who naturally develop objections to transporting people who drink liquor or the blind and their seeing eye dogs. Canada is seeing a growing spike in honor killings. Meanwhile the Lebanese are bringing their unique culture, foods and willingness to rape non-Muslim women to Australia. And only a bigot could even think to object, even when the Grand Mufti of Australia proclaims that non-Muslim women are uncovered meat.

Israel has had a Welcome Back Ahmed problem for over 50 years, ever since a Labor government decided to send troops to bring back Arab refugees who were fleeing the country in preparation for their brethren driving the Jews into the sea. Labor in Israel has depended on the Arab vote, just as Labor in England depends on the Muslim vote. And while Israel's Arab parties still rattling the old Communist chains might be a minor sidenote, the number of Arab voters paid off to vote for mainstream left wing parties such as Labor and Kadima are another matter altogether.

Like Europe's socialist leaders, Israel's socialist leaders assumed that the Arabs would be happy enough collecting government benefits, voting to the left and not actually interfering in domestic politics. Naturally they were quite wrong, and even more naturally, the left has lost any ability to arrest the process. And so as parts of England become uninhabitable by anyone without beard or Burka, Israeli Arabs are running their own terrorist groups, staging riots and just stealing anything not nailed down. And as it turned out, attempting to resolve the Arab problem on the other side of the Green Line through concessions and appeasement, actually destabilized everything inside the Green Line as well.

Of course no showing of Welcome Back Ahmed would be complete without a parallel showing of Get Out John or Steve or Reuven or Pierre. Because if you're going to keep shoving Ahmed down the throat of a domestic populace that does not particularly enjoy being terrorized by psychopaths in black, you've got to create a bigger threat than foreign extremists. The bigger threat of course is domestic extremists. Domestic extremists being anyone not on board with your policy of destroying the country.

Shifting the problem from one of foreign terrorists, to domestic nutters who refuse to be tolerant of foreign terrorists is a convenient public relations coup that turns the terrorists into poor persecuted lambs and sics the police on anyone who objects. But throwing open the doors to Ahmed carries a growing cost that given enough time eventually topples the host nation itself. While the left may view the Ahmeds as the enemies of their domestic conservative enemies... that denial can only run for so long until the bombs and the throat slittings obliterate it away.

Brought in for short term political gain and to bear the burden of a socialist state, Ahmed will not long sit idly by in the ghettos he creates himself, chew his narcotic leaves, smoke bitter cigarettes and ignore what is going on outside. And even if he does, his children who will grow half in and half out of the system, educated just enough to pass without belonging, looking from the outside in, listening to hip hop and the brayings of radical Imams, covering their hair and wearing low rider jeans, going to clubs and going to mosque-- make for a culturally explosive combination.

Given a few centuries, the Overlords of Brussels might manage to secularize Ahmed half as well as they secularized John, Pierre and Hans-- but they don't have a few centuries. They don't even have half a century left. The combination of greed, arrogance and racism has brought them to a place that has them slitting their own throats and applauding the act, a difficult trick but one they manage to improve on every day. And it is not only their throats that they slit, but that of their countrymen.

Across what remains of the civilized world, that shining urban decay of universities, think tanks, mass transit systems, courts, newspapers and research labs... the clock ticks down, an iron hand sweeping down to pass away the daylight and bring down the night. Welcome Home Ahmed, his hour come at last.

Sultan Knish - From NY To Israel Sultan Reveals The Stories Behind The News

Well-coordinated plans will soon give the Federal Government the power to put personal information on all Americans into government databases. The databases will store school records, business records, medical records, financial records, personal activities, and track where we travel in the United States. [1]

In 1966, Columbia University radical professors in New York City, Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, studied Saul Alinsky as Hilary Clinton and Barrack Obama later would. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy," basically calls for the destruction of capitalism in America. By increasing welfare, the subsequent collapse of the economy will allow for the nationalization of many private institutions and an easy implementation of socialism.

The Cloward-Piven Strategy was the inspiration for creating ACORN where President Obama worked as a community organizer. Understanding the Cloward-Piven Strategy, the rules of Saul Alinsky, and the cultural Marxist worldview will help to understand what is occurring in America today.

Saul Alinsky was closely allied with the Chicago Mob in the 1930's. He was a lifelong ally of the Stalin-controlled Communist Party when Stalin was known to have murdered tens of millions of people. Alinsky discovered how to persuade college students and young people that it is more moral to be immoral. In his book, "Rules for Radicals," Alinsky wrote that a community organizer " must first rub raw the resentments of the people; fan the latent hostilities to the point of overt expression." 

So how could this happen? One answer is by using a natural enemy-ideological warfare- if you will. With the help of the globalist agenda, anti-Capitalist, anti-Democratic agendas have welcomed the Islamic influence in America as a means to overthrow Democracy in America. As a result, a Saudi-funded Fifth Column has been achieved in America the past ten years. [2]

America's inability to produce sufficient amounts of oil resulting from the Global Warming Treaty guarantees that trillions of dollars will go to Saudi and Arab states. The inconvenient consequence is that America is held hostage to Islamic fundamentals via energy dependence. The petrodollar exchange will if not already, include financial dependence, political subservience, religious control, educational control, and social consequences, the very definition of dhimmitude.

Chuck Baldwin, who hosts a radio show and writes current events articles explained that both the Republican and the Democrat parties have already succumbed to New World Order ideology and are collaborating to facilitate its creation. Baldwin wrote about Richard Gardner, a Columbia University Professor and Council on Foreign Relations member, in 1974. Gardner's article titled "The Hard Road to World Order" in a Council on Foreign Relations publication called for:

 "...an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece." 

Gardner named the following organizations that would help fulfill that objective: the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the Law of the Sea Treaty, the World Food Conference, the World Population Conference, and the United Nations.

Other treaties and organizations that will help fulfil this objective are the North American Fair Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), and the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), and the Global Warming Treaty.

Judge Advocate General of the Navy from 1956-1960 and a former member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Rear Admiral Chester Ward, warned the American people about the dangers of globalism involving the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission, by saying: 

"The most powerful clique in these elitist groups has one objective-they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the United States. A second clique of international members in the Council on Foreign Relations comprises the Wall Street international bankers and their key agents. Primarily, they want the world banking monopoly from whatever power ends up in the control of global government."

 Ward also said,

 "The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence and submergence into an all powerful, one world government".

 Baldwin's article also cited two quotes from the Senior President Bush. The first quote from 1991 says:

 "My vision of a New World Order foresees a United Nations with a revitalized peacekeeping function."

 And a second quote from 1992:

 "It is the sacred principles enshrined in the United Nations charter to which the American people will henceforth pledge their allegiance."

 Sacred? Pledging allegiance to the U.N. is to pledge allegiance to the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) because the OIC  is a group of 57 Muslim majority nations that holds the largest voting bloc in the U.N. In 1990, the OIC adopted the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, which overtly dictates that Islam is the only legitimate religion. The Cairo Declaration is bloated with hypocritical vanity and double standards. Pierce with loopholes, it is a manifesto declaring that Islamic Shari'ah Law is the only true source of human rights. Article Two of the declaration shows the ambiguity of the OIC's Orwellian use of words and its plan for non-Muslims.

"(a) Life is a God-given gift and the right to life is guaranteed to every human being. It is the duty of individuals, societies and states to protect this right from any violation, and it is prohibited to take away life except for a Shari'ah prescribed reason.

(b) It is forbidden to resort to such means as may result in the genocidal annihilation of mankind.

(c) The preservation of human life throughout the term of time willed by God is a duty prescribed by Shari'ah

(d) Safety from bodily harm is a guaranteed right. It is the duty of the state to safeguard it, and it is prohibited to breach it without a Sharia-prescribed reason."[3]

 The OIC and its allied organizations have aggressively engaged in efforts to expand Islamic law in the West. The OIC declaration confirms that the U.N. resolution would adhere to Islamic Shari'ah law, which legalizes discrimination against women and non-Muslims, criminalizes free speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of conscience. Is this why the Pledge of Allegiance is no longer said in American public schools?

Baldwin also wrote that Warren Christopher, the Secretary of State under Bill Clinton, told CNN in 1993: 

"We must get the New World Order on track and bring the U.N. into its correct role in regards to the United States."

 New World Order goals are outlined in "The Naked Communist," a book written in 1958, by Cleon Skousen, a former FBI agent. Many of these goals have already been achieved with the help of Saudi money. Some of the goals follow: 

• Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
• Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
• Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind.
• Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
• Gain control of the schools.
• Infiltrate the press.
• Gain control of key positions in radio, television and motion pictures.
• Break down cultural standards of morality.
• Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with social religion.
• Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

 The Council on Foreign Relations is at the forefront of promoting the New World Order and  dominate the Federal Reserve and U.S. Presidents. Dignitaries in and out of government who held, or still hold membership in the Council on Foreign Relations. A Council on Foreign Relations member and U.N. spokesman, Walt Rostow phrased:

 "It is, therefore, an American interest to see an end to nationhood."

The Council on Foreign Relation sister organization is the Trilateral Commission. The Trilateral Commission was co-founded by Zbigniew Brzezinski, and David Rockefeller, with Brzezinski calling for: 

"Movement toward a larger community of the developed nations . . . through a variety of indirect ties and already developing limitations on national sovereignty."

 The Bilderberg Group was started in 1954 at the Bilderberg Hotel in a small Dutch town called Oosterbeek. The group is reportedly comprised of European prime ministers, American presidents, and the wealthiest CEOs of the world who meet to discuss the economic and political future of humanity. The press has never been allowed to attend the meetings, nor have their statements, which have ramifications on all citizens of the world, ever been released.[4]

Global governance will utilize immigrants like invasive species in an attempt to divide, weaken and destroy a traditional "ecosystem" in ideological warfare to force Americans to submit to global laws and courts. With so many different people, it is impossible to please all of them, so under the guise of multiculturalism, new rules will have to be made when cultures collide. Illegal immigrants from Mexico serve the Cloward -Piven strategy to burden the welfare system.

The invasive influx and outright importation of Muslims, whose totalitarian ideology is openly hostile to free thinking individuals, encourages the Islamic goal of world domination. Yet it has been reported that George Bush II brought more Muslims into America than the combined total of all U.S. presidents, and Obama is expected to continue the exploitive immigration trend. [5]

Republican and Democrat leaders alike have helped to sell out America by laying the foundation for global governance through unethical commerce, immigration, and political practices. In a war of opposing ideologies, Americans of all nationalities are currently the subjects of an ideological invasion that must be understood in order to stop.

Mary Christina Love's experience with Islam began in the late 1970's when she married a Muslim who came to America on a student visa. Her personal experiences and observations were the beginnings of an agressive cultural and political invasion that is pervasive today. She took early warnings seriously but did not think it would be possible for Islam to ever gain as much control as it has in the past three decades. Progressively, her understanding gave her the ability to comprehend an offensive advancement in America. Further research helped her understand how and why many of our leaders have looked the other way, actually aiding and encouraging the rampant spread of Islam in America today. 

Last week's Legislative Update provided details about an amendment filed by Senator David Vitter to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS) appropriations bill.  (FAIR's Legislative Update, October 19, 2009).  The Vitter amendment would require the Census Bureau to ask questions about citizenship and immigration status as part of the 2010 decennial census. (See The Stein Report, October 19, 2009; for more information on how prior censuses have included questions on citizenship see The Stein Report, October 26, 2009).

The Vitter amendment is very important and brings with it serious implications about a variety of issues.  For example, Census data will be used to "apportion" Congressional seats to each state.  If non-citizens are used for purposes of Congressional apportionment, Senator Vitter's office has said that nine states with lower illegal immigration and lower foreign-born populations would end up losing a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, while four states would pick those seats up.  (CQ Today, October 22, 2009).  The implications are that the inclusion of non-citizens for purposes of House apportionment would reduce, or dilute, the political influence of citizens in House elections.  FAIR conducted a similar analysis in September 2008 regarding the impact of including non-citizens in the apportionment process.  (See FAIR's Report: Who Represents Illegal Aliens?, September 2008).

In addition, because House apportionment also determines the number of Electoral College votes each state has, the inclusion of non-citizens for apportionment purposes could also determine the outcome of America's Presidential elections.  For example, when nine House seats are given without regard to citizenship, that necessarily takes away nine seats from other states.  Accordingly, this could potentially create a swing of 18 electoral votes in a Presidential election.  Such a swing would have been more than enough to change the outcome of several recent elections.

Another area where the Census will matter is with respect to the distribution of federal funds under programs based on population.  According to the census bureau, state populations are used to determine how nearly $400 billion is allocated in federal spending every year.  If the census does not ask citizenship and immigration questions, states with higher illegal alien populations will get more federal funds at the expense of states with lower illegal alien populations.  As a result, a few states will get money they shouldn't, while the vast majority of states will be short-changed out of their fair share. (For a detailed discussion of this issue, listen to FAIR's October 26, 2009 podcast, here).

Also last week, several Members of the House held a press conference to voice their opposition to the Vitter Amendment, including Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA), Rep. Barbara Lee, (D-CA) and Rep. Joe Baca (D-CA).  (CQ Today, October 23, 2009).  Velazquez, Honda and Lee are respectively the chairs of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the Congressional Asian-Pacific American Caucus and the Congressional Black Caucus. The media failed to point out, however, that each of these members were also from either New York or California, which are two of the states that benefit most from the inclusion of non-citizens, including illegal aliens, in the apportionment process. 

In this light, it also becomes apparent why Rep. Joe Baca introduced H.R. 3855, the "Every Person Counts Act," on October 20, 2009. This bill would require including illegal aliens for purposes of the Census.  In his press release, Congressman Baca wasn't shy about the fact that he wants illegal aliens to skew Congressional apportionment, Presidential elections and Federal funding in favor of his home state of California.  Baca said that census data (1) "determines the allotment of federal funding" and (2) is "absolutely necessary for [determining] Congressional representation and Electoral College figures."  (Rep. Baca's Press Release, October 21, 2009).

--------------------end report

Luqman Ameen Abdullah, formerly Christopher Thomas, is accused of being the ringleader of a radical Muslim separatist movement that wanted a state in America governed by Shariah law.

According to an affidavit in the criminal complaint, Abdullah, 53, and many of his followers were converts to Islam. Abdullah was convicted of assault and carrying a concealed weapon in 1981. Like other cases broken up this year, Abdullah converted to Islam after serving time in prison.

In the affidavit, FBI Special Agent Gary Leone described the defendants, saying: "Their primary mission is to establish a separate, sovereign Islamic state ("The Ummah") within the borders of the United States, governed by Shariah law. The Ummah is to be ruled over by Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rapp Brown." Al-Amin is serving a life sentence after being convicted in 2002 of killing a Georgia police officer.

According to an FBI news release, the suspects were considered armed and dangerous and law enforcement used "special safeguards" to try to make the arrests peacefully. "Luqman Ameen Abdullah did not surrender and fired his weapon," the release said. "An exchange of gun fire followed and Abdullah was killed."

According to the complaint, a former member of Abdullah's group cooperated in the investigation. The informant reported that Abdullah advocated "the spread of Islam through violent jihad."

The affidavit makes it clear that when agents moved in, Abdullah practiced what he preached.

"He regularly preaches anti-government and anti-law enforcement rhetoric," Leone wrote, and "preaches that every Muslim should have a weapon, and should not be scared to use their weapon when needed. Members and former members of the Masjid Al-Haqq have stated they are willing to do anything Abdullah instructs and/or preaches, even including criminal conduct and acts of violence."

Abdullah saw himself and his followers "as soldiers at war against the United States government and against non-Muslims.

A second informant recorded Abdullah asking for $5,000 to "do something" during the 2006 Super Bowl in Detroit. If innocents were to be hurt, "it's going to be legitimate," Abdullah said. He complained that "Kafir" or non-believers, were watching him "ridiculously closely." Still, he said he carried "some violence [in me] because of what they did to Imam Jamil [Al-Amin].

The Investigative Project on Terrorism will have more on this story Thursday. Read the full complaint here. See coverage in the Detroit Free Press here and the Detroit News here.
