The members of the Muslim Group Nation of Islam are furious at the Oakland police department for what they say is racial profiling. They spoke out Saturday after hearing the way police describe a dozen men who vandalized two liquor stores in Oakland.
Minister Tony Muhammad, Nation of Islam: "That is racial, as well as religious profiling at its' worst."
Members of leader Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam are outraged. They say Oakland police jumped to conclusions when watching surveillance video showing 12 men in suits and ties walking into a liquor store in West Oakland and trashing it. It is one of two stores hit just minutes apart, the men smashing refrigerators and liquor bottles, telling store employees they shouldn't be selling alcohol to African-Americans.
Police confirmed the men who vandalized the stores are black Muslims and say it's a matter of time before they're identified.
Minister Tony Muhammad, Nation of Islam: "Well, if you know who they are, arrest them and bring them to justice. But don't cast a wide net of suspicion over those of us who try to live a righteous life. Just because men dress in suits and ties don't mean all the black men in suits and ties are gang members or thugs, nor do we go and vandalize store merchants."

Around here, they won't even offer to white drivers. They hit all the brothers and sisters though. Luckily, they are rare in my part of town.
Hey, white socks will be back in fashion in a couple weeks. They will he hugh. When I was in high school back in the 60s, "socks of color" would get you a series mockout.
What is bean pie and who is selling it, where?
Here in Hampton Roads, they loiter on street corners, but they avoid " white devils". That's okay, because I'd tell them to F off if they approached my vehicle.
Back home in the SF Bay area, I followed one of them around the BART (subway ) station asking for a copy of their rag newspaper. Needless to say, homie wasn't too pleased being bothered by the devil.
They prolly brought in NOI folk from Detroit or Seattle or wherever for this piece of delinquency. Sorta like Capone bringing in out-of-towners for the St Valentine's Day Massacre. I'm sure the Oakland Police are sending the surveillance photos to every city with an NOI branch for identification.
Is this guy Italian or Irish? He's not allowed to be called "Tony". I wonder if his wife is Mary Muhammad and the kids are Bill Muhammad, Kathy, Nicholas, Susan, Alice, Ronald, etc.
Whatever happened to Rayshon and Shaniqua?
I would likely never heard of those killings, but for your post.
Fascinating. Need to have a "City Confidential" on them --- although the P.C. crowd will no doubt keep it secret.
Telling lies for Islam is an Islamic sacrament.
Hard core criminals usually don't care for those trying to put them in jail.
Yup. Just look at Dafur where Arab Islamists are killing Black Islamists just because they are Black.
Is being uneducated another diversity issue?
I/We are outraged!
Big deal.
RICO and the Patriot Act.
Come down hard and shut them down nationwide.
Turn them into another hateful relic the same way we did the Klan.
"Racial Profiling"? !! Too funny.
Islam, in all its incarnations, is an evil and dispicable cult of hate.
Maybe they are NBA players who are on the disabled list and conforming to the new dress code??
Zebra (1979) was written by crime writer Clark Howard and remains the definitive book on the murders. Using court records, police reports, witnesses and interviews with the killers themselves, Howard was able to piece together the horrid details of the murders and the unrelenting hatred that inspired the killers.
The majority of the attacks were carried out by five members of a group within Louis Farrakhans Nation of Islam called the "Death Angels." Jesse Lee Cooks, J.C. Simon, Larry Green, Manuel Moore and Anthony Harris were part of this group which believed that whites were created 3,000 years ago by a black mad scientist named Yacub who wanted a race of inferiors to rule over. Death Angels believed they could earn "points" towards going to heaven when they died if they killed whites. For them, whites were not human beings but "grafted snakes," "blue-eyed devils" and "white motherf-----s."
