US sniper 'linked to terror cult'

US sniper 'linked to terror cult'
By James Langton in New York, Evening Standard
14 October 2003

Evidence has emerged linking Washington sniper John Allen Muhammad with an Islamic terror group.

Muhammad has been connected to Al Fuqra, a cult devoted to spiritual purification through violence.

The group has been linked to British shoe bomber Richard Reid and the murderers of American journalist Daniel Pearl in Pakistan last year.

Muhammad today stands trial for murder after bringing terror to America's suburbs along with a 17-year-old accomplice, Lee Malvo.

Until now many believed that the killing spree, which left 10 dead, was the work of a loner. But investigators suspect the 42-year-old former soldier was an Islamic terrorist and believe his insanity plea is a cover story to disguise his support for fundamentalists.

It seems clear that Muhammad saw his actions as linked to earlier terrorist outrages in America. He bought his Chevrolet Caprice car used in the attacks on the first anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

This can't be true. Everybody know the real sniper was a white man in a white van. Chief Moose said so.

And if that trucker hadn't happened along at the rest stop where they were sleeping, the MooseMan would probably still be looking for that white guy in a white van.

Yep when the POS and big time liar PC Moose was lying about white guys in a white van, many of us were saying check out al Fuqra.

Sounds like someone has connected the Black Muslim/al Fuqra dots.

Finally, we are now reading and hearing about how our tax $'s are used by the Black Muslim mullahs in our prisons to recruit for al Fuqra.

Yeah, only 2 years after the FR investigators!

BTW, just for fun I threw an "Al Fuqra mosque" into my book.

"If there was a conspiracy, shouldn't other people be facing criminal charges?"

Sure, if they can name them and if they have evidence.

You are right, it has been about two years since we lighted the al fugra tree to chase them out of certain areas.

There are still a lot of al Fuqra rats slithering around in their mosques and "training grounds"! Good for you putting them in your book.

What is the name of that book, again?

his insanity plea is a cover story to disguise his support for fundamentalists.

The Al Fuqra member here in the Fresno area that killed a deputy, is using this same insanity plea.

Has this story only been in the London Press so far?

Heck, I haven't heard about his insanity plea living a few hours away from your area. The Al Fuqra member here in the Fresno area that killed a deputy, is using this same insanity plea. Has this story only been in the London Press so far? I have a modified Will Roger's statement.

I only know what I read in Free Republic. This thread on al Fuqra is another reason for all us to donate monthly to Free Republic. Many of us feel that if you had not posted your famous thread re the al Fuqra compound in your area, al Fuqra would be a bigger danger than it is. The mediots refused to even print the name al Fuqra.

Suspect in deputy's death pleads insanity
By Michael Baker
The Fresno Bee
Published 10/10/03 12:59:00

The man accused of murdering Fresno County Sheriff's Deputy Erik Telen pleaded innocent by reason of insanity Thursday in Fresno County Superior Court.
Ramadan Abdur-Rauf Abdullah, 22, faces the death penalty for allegedly murdering the 26-year-old deputy on Aug. 21, 2001, at a rural home in Dunlap, an eastern Fresno County foothill community.

Telen and his partner, Brent Stalker, had entered the home in the 36000 block of East Kings Canyon Road to investigate a break-in.

As the partners made their way through the house, Telen was struck by a shotgun blast.

Abdullah's attorneys have conceded several times during previous court hearings that their client fired the fatal shot.

After his client pleaded insanity Thursday, defense attorney Jim Lambe said Abdullah was psychotic and experiencing extreme paranoia when he entered the Dunlap home and found guns and ammunition.

"He didn't know what he was doing," Lambe said. "He feared people were trying to kill him."

Prosecutor Dennis Peterson would not comment on the evidence but said he was confident of the case against Abdullah.

"We wouldn't be prosecuting him unless we felt that this was the proper forum," Peterson said.

Abdullah appeared stoic and answered affirmatively with a clear voice when asked by Judge James L. Quaschnick whether he wanted to enter the insanity plea.

The accused murderer's demeanor was in stark contrast to what it had been.

At a hearing two years ago, Abdullah refused to speak, and his attorney said he had gone mute.

Two months later, Abdullah blurted sexually explicit remarks during a hearing in which he was repeatedly admonished by the judge.

Throughout two years of hearings, defense attorneys have hinted at an insanity defense.

One reason for the delay was that attorneys had to convince Abdullah.

"The crazier somebody is, the harder it is to get them to look into it," Lambe said. "If they're delusional enough, they often don't think there's any problem."

Abdullah is scheduled to return to court next week, when Quaschnick will appoint at least two doctors to examine the defendant.

The insanity plea adds a third phase to a complicated trial, scheduled to begin Feb. 3 in the courtroom of Judge Ralph Nunez.

The innocence/guilt phase will be first.

If found guilty, the trial moves to a sanity phase.

If a jury finds Abdullah insane -- unable to understand the wrongfulness of his crime -- he would be ruled innocent by reason of insanity and sent to a mental hospital.

If a jury finds Abdullah was sane at the time of Telen's slaying, the trial will move to a penalty phase.

Jurors then would deliberate between life in prison and execution.

I seem to recall right after the snipers were captured, Louis Farrakhan was confronted with the premiss that Malvo & Mohammad were agents of al fuqra. Farrakan denied any connections. I'll try to find the article.

Thanks for posting the left wing maggot infested Fresno Bee's article on this al Fuqra pos.

No surprise that the article never mentioned al Fuqra and other terrorist connections.

The Fresno Bee is so politically correct, they will probably blame the slain deputy for causing severe mental problems for the killer.

From what I understand, the Nation of Islam isn't associated with al-Fuqra. But I'm open to the possibility.
