What started as an apparent rent dispute in the Bronx, has led to a police raid on the Upstate home of a controversial Imam.
The case against Warith Deen Umar began December 30th when the NYPD arrested the Imam at his home on Union Avenue in Longwood in the Bronx. Umar allegedly pulled a gun on a tenant and police say they found a shotgun and a rifle at the home. He is charged with menacing and weapons possession.
Then on Friday, a team of NYPD, FBI and local police searched another home belonging to the Imam in Bethlehem, a suburb of Albany. The police have not said what they were looking for, but Umar says they took computers belonging to his wife and college-age children. "They don't frighten me,” said Umar. “They don't frighten me. They make me angry. They make me hate them more. So, this evil that they are perpetrating is not something that creates a lot of intimidation. What it does is it creates ill will."
Umar, a longtime Imam for the Department of Correction, was fired in 2003 when quotes attributed to him praised the September 11th hijackers and predicted more attacks. Umar claims to have never made those remarks and maintains he's not un-American.
Looks like he has an identity problem.
Well, you and your friends frighten me, pal.
Ocean.....with concrete boots.

“They don't frighten me. They make me angry. They make me hate them more. So, this evil that they are perpetrating is not something that creates a lot of intimidation. What it does is it creates ill will."
Sounds like the "ill will" was already there.
"...They make me hate them more."
Islam, the religion of hate and death must die.
You might be surprised. In Texas it was pressure from pastors and a some priests that resulted in removal of Churches and other places of worship from the ban on concealed carry. Now if they wish to ban, they must put up the two language sign with at least 1" letters, that businesses must post if they wish to ban CHL holders from carrying in their facilities. There are other ways to notify folks, you can tell them orally or you can hand out a written notice. But those are only effective for the folks you happen to talk to or hand the written notice, anyone who just wanders in would not be legally culpable. Of course criminals and crazies will ignore the full sized sign as well.
If our government doesn't start taking some real action to rid our country of these vermin, the people will have to start doing it themselves.
On the other hand, criminals would be specifically looking for the signs. It identifies their ideal target - a disarmed victims' zone.
Multiculturalism = ?
"They make me hate them more"
Who is "them"?
What a charmer
