From the Seattle Times, with thanks to EPG:
Federal counter-terrorism agents swept down on homes and businesses in Seattle yesterday, conducting searches and charging 13 men with gun, immigration and bank-fraud violations.... None of the men targeted in the raids is accused under terrorism statutes. However, the federal charges unsealed yesterday allege the ringleader of the bank-fraud case told a paid FBI informant that his "whole Muslim crew" was involved in stealing money because "you can't go to war broke."
According to the complaint, the purported ringleader, a drug felon named Karim Abdullah Assalaam, told an acquaintance that the money obtained through the fraud "goes to help our Muslim brothers and sisters. ... It goes to the cause, not like it goes to me and you."
However, the complaint alleges that his half-brother, Attawwaab Muhammad Fard, who is also charged, used some of the money to buy a used Lexus. "There was a lot of jihad talk," said one highly placed federal law-enforcement official familiar with the case. "But most of the money went into their pockets."...
Several gun-related cases also sprang from the investigation. Assalaam and four other men were charged as felons possessing firearms, including several handguns, two shotguns and an AK-47 assault rifle.
In one instance, federal agents had reported "unusual activity" at a shooting range in Renton involving one of the men apparently teaching a group of individuals how to shoot.
In a related case in King County Superior Court, prosecutors in October filed assault and extortion charges against some individuals associated with an Islamic religious school run out of a South Seattle barbershop. The school was "training children ... in Anti American rhetoric," and "how to shoot and fight the Americans," according to court documents.
The owner of a restaurant downstairs from the Crescent Cuts barbershop on Rainier Avenue South told police that he had been asked to participate in the bank-fraud scheme. When he refused, he said, he was assaulted by a group of individuals and beaten with a meat tenderizer.
He described the school in court documents as "an anti-American training ground for Muslims."
I can't believe this country allows this kind of preparation to commit violence.Round em up and kick em out!This kind of culture has no place in America.
No need to apologize. Only a fool would take any other view. Until our leaders and our sheeple finally "get it" as to who the enemy is, we are doomed to war on our soil eventually.
Just as there were no good Nazis, not even the ones who did not take up arms, the islamic cult is no different. Silent supporters are the same as the ones with guns. Period.
This is no "religion" no matter what it is called. It is a cult. We killed 95 innocent men women and children at a church in Waco for doing nothing..we stormed them with tanks and CS gas, and incinerated them. Were they enemies of the state? They had done nothing overt to indicate so. Yet islamics get a free ride. What is wrong with this picture.
Sounds like the black variety to me.
Better wake up America! Everywhere Islam goes death is sure to follow. That's history.
You are 100% right. Each day that goes by proves it.
WHERE are these 'good Muslims'? Can someone please produce just ONE?
ONE who says the part of the Koran ,that calls for KILLING those who will not convert, is WRONG.
ONE who says, publicly, that they see the value in all religions and will live peaceably with them.
ONE who says Israel has the right to exist.
ONE who has Jewish friends.
ONE who will turn in the 'radicals' among their friends and family. Who is willing to cleanse their 'religion' of the evil ones?
WHERE is this mythical 'good Muslim'? Where is this 'good' majority?
All I see are wild-eyed, angry men and sullen women draped in head-rags. All I see is a backward cult whose members do not want to join modern society but seek, instead, to put that society back into the dark ages.
How long has it been since 9-11?
Where are these 'good Muslims'? What's keeping them?
We'd have a better chance finding the Yeti and the Loch Ness monster together on a Martian UFO making crop circles around Santa's workshop at the North Pole.
I make no predictions about people within the Seattle city limits, however. ; )
I prefer a wild A$$ of a man to donkey. Was just teaching this to some of my students this week.

What good Muslim terrorist needs Afghanistan when they have Seattle?
Why send them to D.C.? They'll just be closer to our elected reps....Oh, well never mind.

excellent point Indie. Why is it always the bad guys that get the kid-glove treatment? I'm just wondering why their isn't alot more outrage too about the MS13 gang's stated goal of shooting police in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia where they are establishing their turf ?
*Presidential election*
Don't worry. South Seattle is the closest thing we have here to da ghetto, so I would avoid it anyway.
