FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MEDIA ASKED NOT TO CALL MIAMI TERROR SUSPECTS 'MUSLIMS' Sect trains 'through the bible,' worships in 'temple,' not mosque
(WASHINGTON, DC, 6/23/06) - A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today called on media professionals not to refer to seven terror suspects arrested in Miami as "Muslims."
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR ) said media reports indicate that the suspects are part of a sect called "Seas of David."
When asked by CNN why group members refer to themselves as "soldiers," "Brother Corey" said: "Because we study and we train through the bible, not only physical -- not only physical, but mentally." Group members also worship in a "temple," not in an Islamic mosque.

The group bears some resemblance to the cult of Yahweh ben Yahweh, which operated in the same part of Miami, Liberty City, in the 1980's.
"Given that the reported beliefs of this bizarre group have nothing to do with Islam, we ask members of the media to refrain from calling them 'Muslims,'" said CAIR spokesperson Ahmed Bedier. He thanked U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta for noting that "today's indictment. . .is not against a particular group or a particular faith."
Bedier urged the government to avoid confusing the public by using Arabic terminology in referring to the case. In a briefing today in Miami, government officials did not call the suspects "Muslims," but did refer to allegations of plans for "violent jihad."
At a news conference earlier today in Miami, CAIR called on police departments nationwide to protect mosques and other Islamic institutions from any possible backlash prompted by the mistaken linkage of this case to the American Muslim community.
CAIR, America's largest Muslim civil liberties group, has 32 offices, chapters and affiliates nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.

Your search - "Seas of David" - did not match any documents.
Q.E.D.
The liberal media doesn't refer to terrorists as Muslims, anyway. The New York Times is Al Qaeda's official newsletter.
Shoot, you could call them The Rockettes if you want ...
People better be prepared for these little wannabes who think that all they have to do is say they are on Islamic Jihad and Al-Quida will just shower their little gang with money and weapons.
Is this supposed to be some sort of surprise ?
I'd be really disappointed if our law enforcement was not doing stings like this - pretending to be an Al-Quida contact to sucker these types of people in.
" Yeah Bro, Ahm gonna buil me a 'slamic army.. jus gimme some shottie an fifti gran "
Look what they just did up in Canada by supplying the ammonium nitrate - bet you they quoted those guys a really good price ( 90 days same as cash ) and free delivery.
Funny. No one named Fred Roberts in that group, either. (Apologies to any, "Fred Roberts's I may have offended -I just thought up a name)
Now that is the kind of statement the MSM should send back to CAIR... these gargoyles deserve deportation.
I prefer calling them "Butt Squeezins"
"We hoped to be able to trust them at first (At least I did), and they crapped on us every time."
Yep --- protesting when some nuts surface in Florida and people start screaming "Muslim" before they know what's going on is really crapping on you.
Is this guy "crapping on you " ?

President Bush asked the Media not to report on secret surveilance and they told Bush to buzz off. But let CAIR ask them not to call these sonsof Beaches Muslims and they purse their lips and kiss Muslim ass.
And when exactly did I do this?
I prefer whatever offends them the greatest.
Pig Fornicators comes to mind.
Any "religion" that commands so much hatred violence to satify its god must be a fraud. Shame upon those who follow or permit it.
Accessing my verbalasations from the streets of DeeTroit,
'Sons of Puking Mongrel Dogs' may be appropiate.
"For now, it has great pitfalls that result in serious offenses against God and humanity at each turn."
See, you lose it at the end ... You have decided what offends God, and made that a part of your argument rather then concentrating on the crazies that want to be terrorists.
Kill the bad guys and let the rest worship fire hydrants if they want.
"Worshippers of mohammed is what they are."
Well, that solves that - Islamics don't worship mohammed.

"And when exactly did I do this?"
You were saying "...and they crapped on us every time."
But you didn't explain what that was supposed to mean ... perhaps I read you wrong, please clarify.
