SNIPPET: "As-Sabiqun, a Washington, DC-based extremist group, plans to divert the focus of the festivities away from the themes of generosity and sacrifice by distributing a leaflet at morning prayers that portrays Major Nidal Hasan (who opened fire on soldiers at Ft. Hood, killing 13 and wounding 30 others) as a victim of the "Zionist American" government that is employing a program of "psychological warfare" to "oppress Muslims."

This is a clear example of what the Center for Terrorism Research at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies has termed "Cause Célèbre Islam."

Cause célèbre Islam forecasts an inevitable violent revolution between American Muslims (particularly African American Muslims) and the U.S. government. As-Sabiqun is one of the most visible and vocal groups that typifies cause célèbre Islam. Publicly, As-Sabiqun's founder, leader, and imam, Abdul Alim Musa, does not appear to share religious wisdom or guidance. Rather, his constant theme is that of threats and harassment against Muslims by the U.S. government. The most recent issue of the CTR Vantage covers cause célèbre Islam; its origins and its current manifestations.

The leaflet As-Sabiqun intends for distribution at holiday celebrations tomorrow refers to President Obama as "Judas Goat" - suggesting that he is a puppet who leads Muslims to the slaughterhouse. The leaflet also declares that As-Sabiqun charges the U.S. government with "high crimes and treason." The ultimate purpose of the leaflet is the raise money for As-Sabiqun to transform its old masjid facilities into the "Islamic Institute for Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare" - framing it as something of a headquarters from which they can launch a counter-attack on the U.S. government in the war they perceive is being waged against them."

...framing it as something of a headquarters from which they can launch a counter-attack on the U.S. government in the war they perceive is being waged against them."

So the headquarters will be a base of operations, making it a legitimate military target. JDAMS, anyone?
