Let’s take a wild guess what group they’re with.

If we’re lucky, they’ll get around to Brooklyn, as well as Newark/Jersey City, and finish what they didn’t do before the first WTC bombing, the shooting on the Bklyn bridge, the Kahane assassination and the Bridge/Tunnel plots.

How about a desperation move to get the events in Washington on Saturday off the front page?

A large cache of bad Botox was discovered and Pelosi was immediately briefed. She was also put in contact with Binder & Binder for a possible lawsuit against the manufacturing of tainted pharmaceuticals.

What were these Amish people doing in New York?

I live on Long Island in Suffolk County and I have never seen so many Police out on the roads like I did today. I just couldn’t understand why I was seeing so many, but this report helps me understand. I was even seeing the Highway Police hanging out not on the highway, but in my town. Very strange indeed. Something is up.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2001 : (QUEEENS, NY : PRO-TALIBAN RADICALS AT ODDS WITH LOCAL IMAM AT HAZRAT I ABUBAKR SADIQ MOSQUE) At New York City’s largest Afghan mosque, supporters of the Taliban have chosen to pray in the basement or outside in the parking lot. They have not returned to the mosque for daily prayers since last Friday, when their imam denounced the attacks on the World Trade Center.
“When I speak against the Taliban and Osama, they harass me; so many times they harass me,” Imam Mohammed Sherzad, the leader of Hazrat-I-Abubakr Sadiq mosque, said at his office in Flushing, Queens. “They say: “Why do you speak against Osama bin Laden? He is a good Muslim.’ “
The tensions at the mosque last Friday reflect in part the heightened anxieties and divided loyalties among the city’s Afghans, who number roughly 20,000.
A week after the attacks, many find themselves torn between their adopted country and the fear that their devastated homeland will feel the brunt of a retaliatory strike from the United States.
As Washington appears to be preparing a military assault on Afghanistan, many Afghans in New York are pleading for their country to be spared even as they distance themselves from its leaders. While Afghans across the city have condemned last week’s terrorism, a small number appear to be standing by the Taliban and the man accused of masterminding the attack.
At the Hazrat-I-Abubakr Sadiq mosque, tucked into a section of Flushing, the predominant sentiment is dread for friends and relatives back home...
The World Trade Center attacks have only intensified the schisms in Afghan mosques throughout the region since the Taliban began its rise to power in 1994. At Hazrat-I-Abubakr Sadiq, the imam says his congregation has been feuding with some members for months.
“They are connected to the Taliban,” said the imam. “The Taliban wants to destroy the center.”
Members of the pro-Taliban contingent that opted to pray in the basement declined to be interviewed. Experts who have studied Afghan exiles in the United States say that such schisms have broken out in mosques in Virginia and California, and that they often reflect the ethnic divisions that mirror the support and opposition to the Taliban. In Afghanistan, the Taliban forces are made up almost entirely of Pashtuns, the country’s largest ethnic group. The anti-Taliban forces are made up largely of ethnic Tajiks, Uzbeks and other minorities.
“The Afghan community is extremely divided, largely along ethnic lines,” said Barnett Rubin, studies director at New York University’s Center on International Cooperation. “There are pro-Taliban factions and there are anti-Taliban factions.”
At the Hazrat-I-Abubakr mosque, the imam and many who support him are ethnic Tajiks. Those in the breakaway faction, they said, are mostly ethnic Pashtuns. The feuding has spilled outside the mosque, with the police saying they have been called several times recently to separate the two groups. ...

I never would have guessed that the Queen had a home in NY.

[garjog]

There they go again — police brutality and racism, targeting innocent Muslim youth trying to make a living in New York City assembling fire crackers and sparklers while celebrating their rich Afghan culture with ritual powders and camel gel.

Sheesh, can't racists oppressors leave these tradition loving people alone? Here they are, coming to America for a new start, practicing their religion in good conscious, and what do we do? Break into their home, ran-shackle their private property, make arrests and generally terrorize and embarrass them. Time for a Congressional investigation and prosecution of the police and FBI I say.

[ecomcon]

“It’s very rare that you see them around here,” neighbor Ron Bonett said.

Rare? Well, I guess that's comforting. You know, when the FBI raids houses on my street, we think it's rare. Not unheard of, not frequently, just rare.

Weird.

“Official: Man Questioned in Terror Probe Linked with al-Qaida”

NEW YORK (AP/1010 WINS) —

SNIPPET: “Folsom said Zazi, 24, was born in Afghanistan in 1985, moved to Pakistan at age 7 and emigrated to the United States in 1999. Zazi’s aunt had said earlier that he was born in Pakistan and grew up in Queens, N.Y.

Folsom said Zazi has returned to Pakistan four times in recent years: in 2004 because his grandfather was sick and dying, in 2006 to get married, and in 2007 and 2008 to visit his wife.”

WHY COLORADO
Politics & Society | —Author: Marisa Urgo

The current issue of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs has an interesting article on the Muslim community in Colorado — entitled, “Muslims in Colorado: From a Novelty Religion to a Thriving Community.” Obviously written before the case of al-Qaeda operative Najibullah Zazi (who lived and plotted a major attack from Colorado), the article helps to better understand the local milieu that could harbor an alleged al-Qaeda operative planning the group’s follow up to September 11th.

In Colorado, Muslim/non-Muslim interfaith activities have increased exponentially since the mid-1990s, especially since September 11, 2001, due to the increased interest of various groups which have attempted to understand and teach each other about their respective world views. Currently there is at least one interfaith event every week in the state.
