hat tip STARWISE; Radical Islam Tightens Ties to Black Community Posted by thelastcrusade - October 17th, 2009
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced on Friday that Rev. Jesse Jackson will be headlining their annual banquet next Saturday. He will be sharing the stage with 1993 World Trade Center bombing un-indicted co-conspirator Siraj Wahaj.
The event will take place on Saturday, October 24, at the Marriott Crystal Gateway in Arlington, Virginia.
Rev. Jackson is revered throughout the Muslim world for his pro-Islamic stance, his condemnation of the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and his inflammatory remarks against Jews and Zionists.
On one occasion, Rev. Jackson referred to Jews and “Hymies” and to New York City as “Hymietown.”
On another occasion, he said that he was “sick and tired of hearing about the Holocaust” and that there are “very few Jewish reporters that have the capacity to be objective over Arab affairs.”
In the wake of 9/11, Rev. Jackson called Attorney General John Ashcroft a terror “suspect” and decried the waving of the American flag to support the war on terror.
It’s a small wonder to many observers that CAIR has opted to embrace him.
CAIR is allegedly America’s largest Muslim “civil liberties” and “advocacy” organization.
It has been charged with serving as a front for Islamic terror groups.
In 2008, the FBI severed its ties to CAIR after the organization was formally charged with funneling large caches of cash to HAMAS.
Several CAIR officials, according to Andrew C. McCarthy have been charged or deported for terror-related activities and assorted criminal offenses.
Siraj Wahaj, a revered figure for many Muslim Americans, will chair the podium with Rev. Jackson.
Mr. Wahaj is the imam of Masjid al-Taqwa at 1226 Bedford Street in Brooklyn, a mosque that reportedly supports a well-trained Sadr army. The fiery imam has been named an un-indicted co-conspirator in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
In one of his sermons, Wahaj announced that the “real terrorists” are the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency. In another, he said, “In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing. And the only thing that will remain will be Islam.” He proclaimed that a society governed by strict Islamic law, in which adulterers are stoned to death and apostates beheaded, would be vastly superior to American democracy.
To a Muslim audience in New Jersey, Wahaj advocated the idea of Muslims forming a coup to take control of the federal government. “If we are united and strong,” he said, “we’d elect our own emir [leader] and give allegiance to him. Take my word for it, if six to eight million Muslims united in America, the country will come to us.”
His so-called “moderate” interpretation of the Qu’ran became clear by this remark: “If Allah says 100 strikes, 100 strikes it is. If Allah says cut off their hand, you cut off their hand. If Allah says stone them to death, through the Prophet Muhammad, then you stone them to death, because it’s the obedience of Allah and his messenger — nothing personal.”
Wahaj informed an audience of black women wearing Muslim head coverings in Orlando, Fla., that Islam condones a man’s marrying up to four wives, and that this rule, when introduced in the seventh century, served as a restriction on arrangements involving even more wives per husband.
The CAIR event has drawn little ink but it testifies to the strengthening ties between black activists and radical Islam – - a relationship that was formed in 1964 by Malcolm X.

October 28, 2009 DETROIT–A man described as a leader of a radical Sunni Islam group in the U.S. was fatally shot this afternoon while resisting arrest and exchanging gunfire with federal agents, authorities said.
Agents at a warehouse in Dearborn were trying to arrest Luqman Ameen Abdullah, 53, on charges that included conspiracy to sell stolen goods and illegal possession and sale of firearms. Ten followers listed in a criminal complaint were also being rounded up in the area. Three – Mujahid Carswell, 30, Mohammad Alsahi, 33, and Yassir Ali Khan, 30 – are Ontario residents, the FBI said in a release.
Abdullah refused to surrender, fired a weapon and was killed by gunfire from agents, FBI spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold said.
In a court filing, the FBI said Abdullah, also known as Christopher Thomas, was an imam of a Black Muslim radical group named Ummah whose primary mission is to establish an Islamic state within the United States.
No one was charged with terrorism. But Abdullah was "advocating and encouraging his followers to commit violent acts against the United States," FBI agent Gary Leone said in an affidavit.

The group believes that a separate Islamic state in the U.S. would be controlled by JAMIL ABDULLAH AL-AMIN, formerly known as H. RAP BROWN, who is serving a life sentence in a federal prison in Colorado for shooting two police officers in Georgia in 2000, Leone said. Al-Amin, a veteran of the black power movement, started the group after he converted to Islam in prison.
"They're not taking their cues from overseas," said Jimmy Jones, a professor of world religions at Manhattanville College and a longtime Muslim prison chaplain. "This group is very much American born and bred."
The movement at one time was believed to include a couple of dozen mosques around the country. Ummah is now dwarfed in numbers and influence by other African-American Muslim groups, particularly the mainstream Sunnis who were led by Imam W.D. Mohammed, who recently died.

Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, known fomerly as H. Rap Brown
My general profile and major accomplishments
I was born Hubert G. Brown in 1943 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In my childhood, I carried a gun to protect myself against older boys in my dangerous neighborhood and gained a reputation of always being ready to fight. I attended Southern High School, which was affiliated with Southern University, an African-American college.
In the spring of 1960, my high school class attended a college class at Southern University which was connected to the civil rights demonstrations. I felt I could not return to school when African Americans needed so much to be done for them. I began to work with NAG in Washington and the SNCC [Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee], headquartered in Atlanta. I was eventually elected chairman of NAG even though I wasn’t a Howard student. In May 1967, I became chairman of the SNCC.
I continued "hate preaching" and was considered an even greater menace than Stokeley Carmichael, the previous chairman, had been. After a speech in Cambridge, Maryland in July 1967, during which I said, "Violence is as American as cherry pie," police and African Americans clashed in a riot in which I was hit in the head with shotgun pellets. After I received first aid, I returned to Washington. Officials issued a 13-state warrant for my arrest. I was placed on the FBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted List and in 1971, was wounded and captured in a gun battle with police in New York City. Convicted in 1973, I was released from prison on October 21, 1976.

60's:
Popularly known as H. Rap Brown, in May 1967 he succeeded Stokely Carmichael as the leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, a civil rights and anti-Vietnam War student organization that had emerged 7 years earlier. Carmichael and Brown together were key activists in the Lowndes County Freedom Organization, which sported a black panther on its flag.
They rejected Martin Luther King, Jr.’s nonviolent and integrationist politics while calling for “Black Power.” Brown’s most famous statement was “Violence is as American as apple pie.” A 1967 Newsweek article described Brown as a man who “preaches armed eye-for-an-eye self-defense for Negroes and packs a 12-gauge ‘cracker gun’ in his own dusty Plymouth.”
In July 1967 Brown was arrested for inciting a riot at a civil rights rally in Cambridge, Maryland. At the event, Brown declared, “Black folks built America, and if America don’t come around, we’re going to burn America down.” At a rally in Oakland, California the following year, Brown was named the Minister of Justice for the Black Panther Party, a radical group that engaged in much criminal activity including drug dealing, pimping, extortion, assault, and murder.
In 1968 Brown wrote his first book, Die Nigger Die, in which he claimed that white people wanted all blacks dead. Then, rather than face criminal charges stemming from the Cambridge incident of 1967, he jumped bail and disappeared for two years, thereby earning himself a spot on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted List.”
70's
Brown was captured and arrested at a 1971 shootout in New York City and was sent to prison for five years. During this time, his lawyer was the radical William Kunstler, who previously had represented Stokely Carmichael and Angela Davis. While serving his sentence, Brown converted to Islam. A fellow inmate recommended that he call himself “Al-Amin,” which translates to “the trustworthy” in Arabic. From then on, Brown was known as Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin.
When he was paroled in 1976, Al-Amin became Imam of the Atlanta Community Mosque.
80's
In 1983 he established Imam Jamil Al-Amin’s National Community, a coalition of 30 mosques that fell under his guidance.
90's
In 1990, Al-Amin was elected Vice President of the American Muslim Council, which would later become a member organization of Sami Al-Arian’s National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom.
In 1992, Imam Jamil Al-Amin’s National Community became a member of the Bosnia Task Force, an alliance of ten Muslim groups supporting Muslims affected by the Bosnian War. The following year Al-Amin helped organize the Islamic Shura Council of North America, which brought together the Islamic Society of North America, the Islamic Circle of North America, the Ministry of Imam W. Deen Mohammed, and Imam Jamil’s National Community.
During the second half of the 1990s, Al-Amin was investigated for a number of murders but was never formally charged. Then in 1999 he was charged with possessing a stolen car, driving without insurance, and impersonating a police officer. Al-Amin refused to appear for his court date, prompting police to issue a warrant for his arrest.
When two sheriff deputies tried to serve the warrant on March 16, 2000, which was the Muslim holiday Eid ul-Adha, they were shot. Deputy Ricky Kinchen was killed and his partner Aldranon English was wounded. English later identified Al-Amin as the shooter, and after a five-day police manhunt the suspect was caught and arrested on March 21 in a wooded area near a small town in Alabama. The gun that had been used in the police shootings was found near the arrest site.
TODAY
In 2002 Al-Amin was tried and found guilty of Deputy Kinchen’s murder and is now serving a life sentence in prison.
Along with Philadelphia cop-killer (and former Black Panther) Mumia Abu Jamal, Al-Amin ranks among the most celebrated “political prisoners” championed by the political left. A supportive Mumia has written: “Imam Jamil has lived a good and rich life in service to his spiritual and ethnic community. He richly deserves the fullest support in all efforts leading to his freedom, so that he may return to the community.”
Also supportive of Al-Amin's cause has been the organization International ANSWER, which, at an April 20, 2004 demonstration in Washington, DC, played for the crowd a taped message from the incarcerated Al-Amin. The stated purpose of ANSWER’s demonstration was to show “support for the Palestinian people battling the U.S.-backed Israeli aggression.” “FREE PALESTINE! No new war on Iraq!” was the event’s oft-repeated slogan.
Other supporters of Al-Amin include the Muslim Students’ Association, the National Lawyers Guild, the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade, the Workers World Party, the Muslim Alliance of North America, Amnesty International, and Campaign to End the Death Penalty.

FOX Reports Ummah Imam Abdullah Shot Dead in FBI Raid
PASTORIUS CUTTING IN:
Check this out. Note the following sentences in the following report:
"Federal authorities say a leader of what they describe as a nationwide radical Sunni Islam group ... at a Dearborn warehouse on charges that included conspiracy to sell stolen goods and illegal possession and sale of firearms. Authorities also conducted raids elsewhere to try to round up 10 followers named in a federal complaint."
Do you realize Federal authorities are admitting here that there is a nationwide radical Sunni group involved in CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY.
We may be seeing the Feds working on their first RICO prosecution of radical Isalmists.
According to my theory, and it is only a theory, they could probably close almost every Saudi funded mosque in the USA if they used RICO correctly.
We may be seeing the beginning of a real break in the dam. This group is relatively small, and they are American-born, prison-converted Black Muslims. But, now the Feds are setting the precedent for busting up radical Islamists using Criminal Conspiracy charges.
