Controversy is swirling three months after the death of Luqman Ameen Abdullah (right), a Muslim imam who died in an Oct. 28 shootout with federal agents in Dearborn, Mich., trying to arrest Abdullah and others on charges related to stolen goods.

The Detroit Free Press is reporting on the results of an autopsy alleged to show the Muslim cleric was shot 21 times and handcuffed. We won't know for sure what the autopsy contains until Monday at 10:30 a.m. Eastern when the Dearborn Police Department is scheduled to hold a news conference to discuss the autopsy report.

Meanwhile, the folks at the Council on American-Islamic Relations issued a news release today in which they reiterated their call for an independent investigation into the Muslim cleric's death. Based on CAIR's track record, I'll be siding with the FBI on this one.

Clearly a case of suicide.

The “I am an imam” thinks he is Sikh. You be the iman!

[John-Irish]

Yes, suicide.Clearly the case. “Shot 21 times’’. Pausing only once to reload.

Where the white goats at?

[Bluebeard16]

I’m literally laughing out loud!

[Kozak]

Not necessarily. He could have used a 30 round mag....

LOL! Oh man. I know where you’re coming from. Shades of “Laugh In”.

He looks like a cross between Dave Chappell and Cornell West dressed up as a Swami.

[FreedomPoster]

That they didn’t follow up and level his mosque?

[Yaelle]

OMGosh, he looks like Whoopie Goldberg with a beard. He’s even got her “ironic” look.

[chuckles]

I've been sayin for 10 years now that the imam's that preach killing Americans should wake up with a Columbian neck tie. That goes for overseas also. There is a few in Europe that sell DVD's that call for killing us. What ever happened to black ops?

You take one a$$hole preachin crap and you get 10-20 suicide bombers. Kill the a$$hole and you just have to kill one instead of 20. They brag about it so they are easy to find. Just think what would have happened back in WWII if we had a NAZI marchin up and down calling for Death to America. I know it wouldn't have worked in Texas.
