DETROIT — Authorities captured the son of the slain leader of a radical Detroit-area Islamic group in Canada on Thursday, a day after the FBI arrested several members and a raid at a suburban warehouse ended in gunfire. The FBI asked for the public's help in catching two of the 11 suspects in the case still at large, and they emphasized that the group, a faction of the radical U.S. Sunni Islamic group Ummah, held beliefs that were not at all representative of mainstream Islam....
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrested Mujahid Carswell, the 30-year-old son slain group leader Luqman Ameen Abdullah, across the Detroit River in Windsor, Ontario, where Carswell lived, the FBI said. Abdullah, 53, was killed during a shootout Wednesday with federal agents. He was one of 11 people named in a criminal complaint. The charges included conspiracy to sell stolen goods and illegal possession and sale of firearms...
Neither Abdullah nor his co-defendants were charged with terrorism. But he was "advocating and encouraging his followers to commit violent acts against the United States," FBI agent Gary Leone wrote in an affidavit...
The FBI said Abdullah, also known as Christopher Thomas, was an imam, or prayer leader, of a faction of a radical group named Ummah whose primary mission is to establish an Islamic state within the U.S....
The affidavit also said bombs, guns and even the recipe for TNT were among Abdullah's regular topics with his allies...
Two suspects were still at large: Yassir Ali Khan, 30, of Warren, Mich., and Ontario, and Mohammad Philistine, 33, of Ontario.

Deport all of them or hang them if terrorist ties, they hate this country so why cater to them.
Get the computers! Oh, they dodn’t have any in the 6th century Detroit!
What a name. Ya' can't make this stuff up! BWAHAHAHAHA!
Since when did the FBI become an office of political punditry, offering opinions on religous groups?
I believe their beliefs are exactly representative of all Muslims. Our government still has their heads in the sand. God forbid they should lose the radical throat cutting, honor killing Muslim vote.
Tsk, tsk, no hate-speech, please. Terrorists are people too, albeit of a different persuasion. Don’t you believe in the blessings of diversity and multiculturalism?
They are in Detroitistan, where they have been bullied into carrying the party line, even in their press releases, apparently.
Mass deportation would work.
A photo of Daniel Pearl in the midst of having his throat cut should be mandatory on the walls of every one of the 535 members of Congress, the Oval Office, and the chamber of the Supreme Court.
Also, the Twin Towers being hit. Also the Pentagon burning.
“Feds: Son of slain Mich. Islamic leader arrested...”
The ACORN didn’t fall far from the tree?
I say NUKE Detroit(and Dearbornistan) from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Exactly. They need to witness history. Go back to school. Study the texts, tenets, scholars of Islam.
