Make sure ya blow it up on the way out.
For what? The VA driver's license template donated by the Arlington County Board in the name of tolerance?
Hopefully this will be happening in other cities where there are known jihadist groups.
I wonder if they're all in the shower....
they should leave some listening devices behind.
They ought to come over to Dearborn Michigan and raid some places there too. Wonder if this means the feds are on to some terrorist plot......
Probably will find kerry campaign literature and blank absentee ballots sitting on the prayer rugs. Just an illegal raid on a Democratic stronghold.
"Nothing to see here. Please move along before we Waco your a$$."
Is this the Islamic Center up in Merrifield just up the street from the really big post office? (Northern Virginians should know what I am talking about)
Only 10,000 to go.
There's no doubt in my mind that northern Virginia is a haven for Islamic terrorists, which you'd sort of expect given the location of the Pentagon and the capital and everything.
Unless every one of their homes is searched...
I'm sure CAIR is already mobilizing their protesters and bitching on every TV and radio network that will have them. This should be good.
Feds raid Saudi-based institute in FairfaxAssociated PressThursday, July 1, 2004
FAIRFAX, Va. - Federal agents raided the Fairfax offices of a Saudi-based institute Wednesday. No arrests were made.
A task force of federal agents, including the FBI, raided the offices of the Institute of Islamic and Arabic Sciences Wednesday. Earlier this year, 16 Saudi diplomats affiliated with the institute had their passports revoked. State Department officials said the diplomats were teaching at the institute rather than serving as diplomats.
The institute, in the Merrifield section of Fairfax County, also served as a meeting point for a group of Islamic men who played paintball games in 2000 and 2001 as preparation for holy war, according to prosecutors. Nine of the 11 men charged in what prosecutors called a "Virginia jihad network" were convicted in federal court for their roles in the group.
Lawyers for the Council on American-Islamic Relations observed the raid. The council's spokesman, Ibrahim Hooper, said, "We're concerned that this may be perceived in the Muslim community as a fishing expedition."
He pointed out that a variety of Muslim businesses and charities were raided more than two years ago as part of a broad investigation into alleged terrorist financing, but that no charges have been filed against those charities.
An FBI spokeswoman did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

Disturbing, but it doesn't surprise me. As anybody who's even set foot in the local wal-mart can tell you, the area is some sort of hotbed for attracting mohammedans. And since the Religion of Peace (tm) has an odd way of bringing terrorist wackos wherever it goes, these sorts of establishments pop up soon after. About a year ago they busted several of them as would be terrorists just a few miles up the road in Falls Church, and then there were the paintball guys who were practicing at a terror camp out in the woods to the west of DC.
