PENTAGON EYES CHAPLAIN PILGRIMAGE

October 15, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - Pentagon investigators will question a Muslim chaplain who arranged a trip to Mecca for Islamic U.S. servicemen that was paid for by a Saudi charity linked to al Qaeda, a top Defense Department official said yesterday. In March 2001, Capt. Rasheed Muhammad led a "Haj tour" for about 60 Muslim service people that was paid for by the Muslim World League, which is dedicated to the spread of an extreme form of Islam embraced by Osama bin Laden.

Most of this "Homeland Security" is bogus, in my view. There has been a complete breakdown of minimal national security measures.

Investigation of al-Queda funded efforts to indoctrinate and infiltrate members of the military should be NSS (no s**t, Sherlock!).

Been through airport security recently? It seems obvious to me that al-Queda has sleepers at the airline check gauntlets.

AND... every prison in America has al-Queda agents recruiting the most dangerous sociopaths in America. Excuse me, I meant radical Muslim "chaplains."

Charles Abell, a Defense Department deputy undersecretary, also told the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Terrorism the Pentagon will look for new groups to sponsor and train Muslim chaplains because the organizations that have been involved in the process until now are under investigation for terrorist links.

When oh when are they going to realize that in order to be a moslem you MUST be a terrorist? It's a fundamental requirement of the koran

1960s & early 1970s : (BROCKPORT, NY : SUNY : THE FUTURE US MILITARY CHAPLAIN ABDUL RASHEED MUHAMMAD IS DRAWN TO 'ISLAM' THROUGH THE INFLUENCE OF "ELIJAH MUHAMMED," LEADER OF THE "NATION OF ISLAM" MOVEMENT) [Future US Military chaplain Abdul-Rasheed] Muhammad was born to Baptist parents in Buffalo, N.Y. Like many black students on campus in the late 1960s and early 1970s, he came to Islam, at the State University of New York at Brockport, through the teachings of Elijah Muhammad, leader of the Nation of Islam movement in America. He graduated with a degree in anthropology and later earned master's degrees in counseling education from San Diego State University and social work from the University of Michigan. In subsequent jobs he dealt with a steady stream of juvenile offenders and troubled adults. Although he enjoyed the healing aspect of his work, Muhammad soon came to realize that his counseling lacked an element so essential to his own life: spirituality. "Working with alcoholics and drug addicts for many years, I became disenchanted with not being able to integrate the spiritual dimension in treatment and in intervention," he says.
"Chaplains have permission to do that. In fact, when people come in my office, whether they're an alcoholic or a wife abuser or a child abuser or whatever, they expect to walk out of here with me telling them something about what God says about that."

"Chaplains have permission to do that. In fact, when people come in my office, whether they're an alcoholic or a wife abuser or a child abuser or whatever, they expect to walk out of here with me telling them something about what God says about that."

A big part of intelligence work is being able to find people who can be compromised: blackmailable incidents in the person's past, burdensome debts, marriage problems that would make the person vulnerable to seduction by an agent.

What better intelligence collection post by an enemy agent than "chaplain"?
