Queens Muslim Group Says It Opposes Violence, and America By ANDREA ELLIOTT The young Muslim men, with beards and bullhorns, work the streets of Jackson Heights on the weekends. They surface at parades and protests around the city, loudly declaring America the enemy and advocating for an Islamic state. Several weeks ago, they publicly tore up an American flag as payback for the reported desecration of the Koran at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Their own videos of violence against Muslims, one with the title "Muslim Massacres," have recently appeared on Queens Public Television.
In the annals of New York City's political outspokenness and fringe-group culture, the Islamic Thinkers Society may seem unremarkable at first glance. But after 9/11, in the city most damaged and unsettled by the terrorist attacks, the emergence of this young, however limited, Muslim-American voice is strikingly bold. In its fliers and on its Web site, the group describes itself as an "intellectual and political nonviolent organization," but it bears a strong resemblance to Islamist movements in England that try to unite Muslims by inciting anger.
"Wake up and realize that the line has been drawn between the camp of Emaan and the camp of Kufr and there is no middle ground as of right now," reads a glossy publication by the group that is titled "Islamic Revival." In Arabic, Emaan can be translated to mean "faith" and Kufr, "disbelief."

We have terrorist groups within our midsts, why aren't we donig something? THIS is why we have Gitmo.
Let's lock some Islamic-state-wanting Muslims in a room with some socialist-state-wanting liberals and see who comes out alive.
Excuse me, but if they oppose America, then what the f*** are they doing here? Methinks the New York office of the FBI should be making a little visit to these bozos!
Maybe the group is representing Islam too well.
(2) They are being watched.
(3) There are most likely FBI informants among them.
Um, boys? This land ain't your land. I don't care if some of you were born here, either. This land ain't your land. Not from the California border to NY harbor. This land ain't made for you and me. Now run along and blow yourselves to hell in some backward part of the world.
Queens Muslim Group Says It Opposes Violence, and America
Here's the headline of another story:
America Says It Opposes Queens Muslim Group, and Non-violence
And I'm SURE that the Times would ever describe any, say, march by skinheads or Klansmen as "strikingly bold."
Reopen Alcatraz for prison use, and dump them there, preferrably by vertical insertion, without the benefit of a parachute!
A non violent muslim group? like pro gay Christians and pro choice Catholics they've abandoned the basic tenants of their faith.
"Methinks the New York office of the FBI should be making a little visit to these bozos!"
No one has the @@ to order the FBI to arrest and deport these enemies of America.
America is today in the grip of fear. Fear controls our lives, thanks to changing demographics.
They're just "activists" using their guaranteed rights to express their opinions. I wonder what the response would be if these were Anti-Islam "activists". Can you say "hate speech"? Are we in the Twilight Zone?
Yes. Strange, isn't it? Liberals would rather see the country go down then defend it while the Republicans control two branches of government.
This garbage can't be allowed to stand.
No. There is no such thing as "hate speech" for media designated "minorities" such as this group. "Hate speech" is only what liberals may charge a white christian when that liberal is really pissed-off because Republicans keep winning elections.
Ohhh, this is good. I wish I could be there to see the Liberals heads explode!
