Jamaat had white members too, though not many. One of their members was even a convert from Judaism.
They had divided the country up into sectors and assigned teams to each sector. And when people think of muslim training camps these are usually the ones. One of the backers behind ul fuqa was Libya's Moamar Qaddaffi-- but note that moammar was more of a pan-African socialist freakshow than a muslim.
They have also taken aim at Muslims not of their particular liking, and have burned mosques in Detoit and other cities, even taken out selected Imams on behalf of al Qaeda.
And they have done this for decades.
June 17, 1984:(BOMBINGS OF A HINDU ORGANIZATION AND A SIKH ORGANIZATION'S BUILDINGS LINKED TO AL FUQRA) Seattle, Washington - The Integral Yoga Society, a Hindu religious institution, and the Vendanta Society, a Sikh religious institution, are bombed. Stephen Paster of Englewood, Colorado was later arrested in connection to the bombing. After searching his car, police found a .12 gauge firing device and a "shopping list" of the materials required to build a radio-controlled explosive device. ---------- "Al Fuqra: Holy Warriors of Terrorism," Anti-Defamation League (pdf), 1993
If I'm not mistaken, this Paster member of Jamaat ul Fuqra was the lily white convert I mentioned above. And guess what, he's also linkd to Colorado.
This group al Fuqra reminds me of the Revolution Muslim group that Cindy has been following, wonder if they are connected?
AUGUST 1, 1984 : (WASHINGTON, JAMAAT AL FUQRA-RELATED ATTACK ON SIKH) John Liczwinko of Seattle, affiliated with the Seattle Vedanta Society, is attacked. - "Black Muslim Sect Scrutinized, " By Knut Royce ,Washington Bureau Jim Mulvaney, George E. Jordan, M. P. McQueen and Timothy M. Phelps contributed to this story, Newsday , June 27, 1993, Sunday, CITY EDITION
The group JuF has also been in on efforts to get Salman Rushdie.
They seem to be of the same mind as Iran's Ahmadinejad govern most of the time, which makes me wonder given the current tenseness in the Middle East with Iran, if this latest outburst of shootings and incidents - note the Toronto case, another place where jamaat ul Fuqra has tendrils- may in fact have something to do with agitation of "lone wolves" by Iran. OK, so it's a leap of a theory but I find it as plausible as the theory that unstable individual battling occasional bouts of schizophrenia meticulously planned a shooting "for months," without even once having a moment of clarity that would make him think "WTF is all this bomb making junk doing in my apartment?" And that this redheaded dingleberry AND a neo-Nazi picked roughly the same time to cook off. I'd love to look at all these perp's reading lists.
Interesting points, Piasa.
Revolution Muslims members/related pals for the most part are dead or have been arrested.
