Dearborn Shoot-Out Opens a Window into Homegrown Terror

By Robert Knight



Luqman Ameen Abdullah, who was the Imam of the Masjid Al-Haqq mosque
in Detroit, died in a shoot-out on Wednesday after firing on FBI
agents during a raid in Dearborn, Michigan.  Another seven Muslims
were apprehended and various weapons seized.



“We're not any fake terrorists, we're the real terrorists,” Abdullah
(aka Christopher Thomas) once bragged to an undercover informant,
according to an FBI affidavit.



Abdullah, 53, was a disciple of none other than H. Rap Brown.  If you
ever wondered what had become of the ‘60s Black Panther leader, well,
he converted to Islam while in prison in the 1970s.  And he apparently
has not changed his mind about what he’d like to do to America.



Famous for saying, “Violence is necessary.  It’s as American as cherry
pie,” he goes by the moniker Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, and runs a Sunni
group called Ummah (“community”).  The Black Muslim organization’s
goal is to establish an Islamic regime with Sharia Law within the
United States.  Brown is doing this from his prison cell at the ADX
Florence supermax federal prison in Colorado, where he’s serving a
state-imposed sentence for shooting two black police officers in
Fulton County, Georgia in 2000.



In Wednesday’s raid, the agents targeted a Dearborn warehouse and two
Detroit homes after a two-year investigation of the Ummah offshoot.  A
total of 11 Muslims (three were still at large) were charged with
various conspiracy felonies involving stolen goods and firearms.
Speaking of conspiracies, Abdullah is on tape saying that the FBI was
behind Timothy McVeigh’s 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building
in Oklahoma City and the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993.
The 43-page criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court by the
U.S. Attorney’s Office, and which contains eyewitness accounts, says
that boys as young as 7 were beaten “severely” (p. 24) and that
Abdullah encouraged his followers to “pick up guns and do
something.”  (p. 3) He also said, “If they are coming to get me, I’ll
just strap a bomb on and blow up everybody.”  (p. 10) He also said
while watching a TV show featuring a nuclear bomb that he would like
to acquire a “little bomb” and target Washington, D.C. (page 18).



Well, that kind of talk, except for the fact that Washington is about
60 percent African-American, should make a proud man out of Al-Brown,
who once said, “We must wage guerrilla warfare on the honky white man”
and, “If America doesn't come around, then black people are going to
burn it down.”  The latter threat was made in Cambridge, Maryland,
where fiery riots erupted shortly thereafter in July, 1967, fulfilling
his prophecy.



A color photo of Abdullah was made available to the press by the
Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the most prominent
Muslim public relations group in America.  CAIR has denounced
terrorism, but has been named an unindicted co-conspirator in a
prominent terrorist funding case.  On the same day as the Michigan
raids, CAIR put out an unrelated editorial “Islamophobia Machine
Targets American Muslims,” which denounces Frank Gaffney, Geert
Wilders and other prominent critics of radical Islam.  CAIR also
assisted in the effort to have Christian convert Rifqa Bary, 17, sent
Tuesday from Florida back to Ohio, where her Muslim parents are trying
to regain custody.  Rifqa fears an “honor killing” because she is an
apostate, and although a deal was cut keeping her in foster care until
she turns 18, her parents have since fired the attorney and are
seeking to break the deal and bring her home.  A custody hearing is
slated on Nov. 16 in Franklin County Juvenile Court.



Back in Michigan, Dawud Walid, who heads the Michigan Council on
American-Islamic Relations, said of Abdullah, “I know him as a
respected man in the Muslim community,” according to the Detroit Free
Press.  The group’s Website on Thursday made no mention of the raids,
and its top press release was about the Roseville Community Schools
apologizing for sending out a permission slip for pupils to attend an
off-campus Bible study.  No parents had complained to the schools, but
CAIR had adopted the ACLU’s bullying tactic of accusing school
officials of violating the First Amendment.



Wednesday’s raids came on the heels of the Oct. 19 indictment of a
Colorado Imam, Ahmad Wais Afzali, for allegedly lying to federal
agents about an alleged terror plot to bomb targets in New York City.
Najibullah Zazi, of Aurora, Col., and his father, Mohammed Wali Zazi,
were arrested in September in Denver in connection with the alleged
plot.



The Dearborn shoot-out is especially jarring because 30 percent of the
city’s population of 98,000 is Muslim and where many billboards,
street signs and storefront signs are in Arabic.  At a local high
school where 80 percent of the students are Muslim, the principal
allegedly punched a boy who had converted to Christianity and
“disgraced his family.”



Coral Ridge Ministries recently sent cameras into Dearborn, capturing
footage that’s part of the video Radical Islam on the March.  Faisal
Malick, an ex-Muslim featured in the documentary, says that militancy
is increasing among Muslims who “believe the whole world should submit
to Islam.  When they come into the United States of America, they want
to see Sharia law implemented, they want to dominate every place of
influence—in education and technology and law, in government, in
finances.”



Referring to Christians and Jews, Abdullah said in a taped
conversation, “we have to cut the ties to them … you cannot please
them until you follow their religion.  Obama is a Kafir [dog].
McCain, all the rest of them … you cannot make a good Kafir, bad Kafir…
The promise of Allah and Islam said, ‘… the worst Muslim is better
than the best Kafir.’”



Since “Kafirs” are still in power, that means that Abdullah’s
followers need not worry about legalities.  Or, as H. Rap Jamil
Abdullah Al-Amin Brown once said, “We did not make the laws in this
country.  We are neither morally nor legally confined to those laws.”



Yes, you are.  It’s why you’re behind bars right now.

People need to see the dangers of incompatable cultures but in order
for that to happen, people who have been indoctrinated  with WW2 horror
stories, insisting we  mercilessly crush any sign of racism or bigotry,
to avoid  history  repeating itself,   need to see different perspectives of 
the truth.

Yes, Racism and Bigotry  fueled hate that was used as justification
for war crimes.
As well as drugs(amphetamines given to the soldiers), a sense of having
absolute power (corrupts absolutely ), paranoia and a huge collection of
`Yes` men to Hittler who was slowly going crazy (IMO).

Not mentioned is perfectly natural bigotry and racism with some economic
hard times thrown in  making Jews unwelcome. Through climbing resistance
to their continueing  presence, they misjudged the signs until it was too 
late
in too many cases.

So here we find ourselves; perfectly natural bigotry and racism, combined
with economic hard times and a growing realisation of the real threat of 
Islam
and Multiculturalism.

 This growing realisation is fueling a tolerance overload seen in riots and 
increasing
complaints of `hate' crimes news of which is regularly censored . The 
continueing
and reckless  expansion of incompatable cultures protected by minority 
protection
 `hate' laws  act as a dam wall temporarily holding back the growing 
dissent. The higher the
dam wall the greater the frustrations are bottled up and the greater the 
inevitable
disastrous results when this illconceived imposition  of artificial 
tolerance  fails.
