Dearborn Islamic Center Robbed

POSTED: 11:40 am EST November 16, 2007
UPDATED: 1:15 pm EST November 16, 2007

DEARBORN, Mich. -- The Islamic Center of America was robbed early Friday morning by what authorities believe was a very patient thief who hid inside the massive 80,000-square-foot structure on Ford Road until everybody had left for the night.

According to officials at the Islamic Center, the thief went inside the building during regular hours Thursday and hid until 1:30 a.m. Friday morning at the earliest, since that is when the last person was reported to have left the building.

The thief went to an area of the building where money is kept and stole an undetermined amount of cash.

Center officials said there is a system of surveillance videos in place and police are looking at them now to try to identify a suspect.

Let me guess - the police are looking for a disgruntled right-wing white male who listens to talk radio.

Question: Isn’t it some sort of rule that *only* muslims are allowed in a mosque?? So this is probably an inside job? It would be interesting to learn that the muslim leaders were found to be behind this—

Good. The money would have ended up in the terrorists’ pockets anyway. Yeah, infidel.

Maybe they are just saying it was stolen, and it's already in the terrorist's pocket?

Q: Why do you rob The Islamic Center of America?

A: Because that’s where the money is.
(along with those neat automatic weapons, ammo dumps, RPGs,
fake IDs/passports and weaponized anthrax).

(just joking.....I hope)

An Irish farmer walking through his field, notices a man drinking out of a pond.

The Irish farmer shouted: “Paid a yfed a dwr, maer gwerthin wedi cachu un a for.” Which in Gaelic means: “Don’t drink the water the cows have shit in it.”

The man shouts back: “I’m a Muslim, I don’t understand. Please speak in English.”

The Irish farmer says: “Use two hands, you’ll hold more water”!!!

Obviously it could be an inside job, but the vast majority of mosques in the U.S. DO allow non-Muslims inside. Not so on the Arabian peninsula.

I guess the Islamic Center doesn’t trust the Infidel Banks. I wonder if they kept the loot under their prayer mats?

actually you are correct!!!!! I know first hand they do not!!!! Banks are ran by Jews for one... Second it is against terrorism..I mean...Islam... to gain interest on money from a bank....This is considered hurting the poor somehow...but it is okay to kill the innocent! you go figure!

I just know this since I have a police scanner.
Here in California,a robbery is a 211 and a burglary a 459.
Could have very well been an inside job like you have speculated.

Non muslims are allowed to come who wish to learn of Islam. They welcome this. I know most mosques offer Koran classes to people who want to learn of terrorism..opps...I mean ...Islam...I know Marshall University and other schools have sent kids there as part of that diversity s***, if you know what I mean. Lets be honest..anyone who knew of Islam, and their thought of Jews and banks, knew the money was in the mosque....they could have posed as a muslim and pulled this off...EASY!!

THANK GOD THEY DID! NO JIHAD MONEY! LMAO!!!

Hate crime, my big fat white Queen Latifa ass! This was a crime because the terrorist hate jews so much that they refuse to use banks where their money would be safe and you tell that anyone who would dare say this was a hate crime...this was crime of stupidity....those stupid terrorists!!!!

In the sense that it was probably an inside job, you’re right.

I am willing to bet that when they find the perp, they will find a Muslim, and the story will immediately be shot into the memory hole.

Wouldn't it be funny if the thief couldn't be identified because he/she was wearing a burqa?
