August 5, 2004, 6:48 AM EDT ALBANY, N.Y. -- Federal agents and city police raided a Muslim mosque overnight Wednesday, with armed officers sealing off a block in downtown Albany for several hours.
Authorities declined to immediately discuss the raid at Masjid As-Salam mosque.
An FBI spokesman said a press conference was tentatively set Thursday afternoon in Washington. Some mosque members held morning prayers Thursday on a nearby sidewalk.
WTEN-TV reported two men were arrested and are suspected of providing material support for terrorism. Calls to the U.S. attorney's office were not immediately returned. On Tuesday, William Chase, special agent in charge of the FBI's Albany office, said there had been no terrorism-related arrests in the area and relatively few nationally since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
"But I think as time goes on you'll start to see an increased number of prosecutions as law enforcement increases its level of activity and starts looking at some of the ancillary things like financing and those type of things, the things that feed into the system that supports the terrorism," Chase said.

One must question the timing of this. What with Kerry still waiting for a bounce from the Taxocrats Convention in Boston.
And of course we know this is all Bush's fault. blah.blah,blah.
Really great news, feed them to the pigs.
But, but, but, what about freedom of religion????
(Correction, one down, 2,999 to go.)
Isn't that OK in the Koran? If so, then we have violated their rights to practice their religion, right?
You mean this mooSlim prayer?
Kill a Christian, kill a Jew,
72 virgins, this will do,
Kill a Jew, kill a Christian,
72 virgins, this my mission
Islam is peaceful, they shall see
When Jews and Christians hang from trees.
3000 dead, World Trade Center
Do it again, heaven I’ll enter
(repeat 5000 times, five times a day until you become an angry, hypnotized, deranged homicidal killer)
But it's all just politics. Just ask Chris Matthews.
(/sarcasm)
For my part, I say that it's about time!

Yep - that's the one!
This is going to do nothing but offend Muslims...

FRankly, every "Mosque" in America should be raided!
Don't kow if you guys saw this PING!
GOOD! I suspect we will see more of these busts/raids if Homeland Security is really doing it's job.
I hope the Feds' don't give Calypso Louie's NOI mosques a pass. Equal justice for all. Has anyone besides myself, noticed how quite the fruits of Islam have been lately? Lock them all up and let them rot if they are involved in a terrorist conspiracy against the USA.
They should have let them pray on their knees at a local pig pen. Deport them all to their allah.
They caught a couple of the fruits of Islam last week crossing from Nebraska to Iowa with marked up maps (not revealed of where), night vision goggles and high powered rifles, among other things. Oh, and of course, a couple of Korans.
Their last names were Baker (the man) and Maguire (the woman, possibly his wife); I don't recall their first names or know what their Black Muslim names were. They were found during a routine traffic stop for seat belt enforcement, when the cops noticed that they seemed much more nervous than a seat belt violation would have warranted.
Just who is it that wants to keep them from doing those good deeds on behalf of civilization?
HF
I love those stops.
Cop: Let me see your license and registration please
Occupants: Here.
Cop: Boo.
Occupants: YYYEEEAAAAGGHHHHH!
I think they'd prefer another terrorist attack over having a Muslim/Arab offended by their tactics.
