Who is Salaam Allah, And Why Does He Shoot So Many Photos of Subways/Light Rail Trains? (VANITY)

I should probably do more research on this, but my time is limited, and I could use some FReeper help.

http://www.nycsubway.org/contrib.html Salaam Allah: Salaam lives in Pasadena, California, and is the primary contributor to our Los Angeles section of the site. He sent in many photos of the light rail lines, commuter rail, Red line subway, and the Angel's Flight funicular. (contact)

This was from one of the sites. Looks like he a photographer and has some official capacity w/ the NYC Subway and LA Subway.. Nothing weird here that I can see..

Not weird unless you see that this is also Salaam Allah:

Go here now:
http://www.ymp.net/allahfamily/voices/
Scroll down and find his 8/13/04 reference to getting called by the FBI.
I've got to go to a meeting now and will be out for 3 hours or so. Somebody please follow up.

The FBI thing is weird.

I think I would rather leave this kind of speculation to the FBI and other authorities. They may have contacted because he is a subway enthusiast and Muslim. It seems if the FBI is contacting him, then we should let them worry about it.

I would hate for him to be completely innocent, yet somehow harassed by someone here because of what is presented. Or worse, his name comes up in a search by an employer and they find speculation that could turn out to be false.

From one of the post: "if the FBI is contacting him, then we should let them worry about it - "

Like they handled(investigated) the Professor at that college for years - then it turned out he was the biggest fund raiser for the terrorist in this nation - great work (do we have years?) Or do we have different agents now - how's the communicating progressing -

just wondering -

It's too late. This thread will now show up on google.

Acknowledging both your responses. I guess we SHOULD leave this alone, but it leaves me feeling uneasy nonetheless. So, pursuing it makes me uneasy and leaving it alone makes me uneasy. I guess this must be what it's like to live in Israel.

I know this is old, but I found this explanation of a terrorist threat scenario involving trains in Phoenix, AZ back in Jan 2004. It reminded me of this article you posted on Salaam Allah.
