Black Muslim Traitors--We have met the enemy

Suppose the traitor who rolled three grenades into the tents of our soldiers in Iraq, killed a captain and wounded 15 others, was a member of Jerry Falwell's Thomas Road Baptist Church or Robert Schuller's Crystal Cathedral. Do you think his picture might be on the evening news or page one of the New York Times? In fact, the culprit, Asan Akbar (aka Mark Fidel Kools) is a black Muslim from South Central Los Angeles, and a member of the Masjid Bilal Islamic Center there. What this incident would show us, if the press were doing its job, is that there is a connection between the ideas people devote themselves to and what they wind up doing. (The fact that Akbar's former middle name -- which looks adopted as well -- is "Fidel" is probably not without significance either.)

Last July, the spiritual leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farakhan, traveled to Baghdad and had this to say: "The Muslim American people are praying to the almighty God to grant victory to Iraq." What people say they often wind up doing. America needs to wake up to the fact that there is an army of people in this country, some Muslim some not, who identify with our enemies and pray for their victory. On this website, we have called them the Fifth Column left. This has made many people on the left angry at us. It is suggested that we lack the proper respect for First Amendment rights and values and that accusing dissenters and opponents of the war of betraying this country has a chilling effect on speech. It certainly does, but it is also the case that real traitors hide behind free speech rights and that ideas do have consequences.

In fact, we have never accused critics of the war of being members of a Fifth Column or traitors for opposing the war. We have always been specific in identifying those opponents (and only those opponents) who attack America and its leaders in irrational and and apocalyptic terms, and those opponents who are members of self-styled revolutionary parties who identify with America's enemies like Communist North Korea. "Dissenters" who are willing to break the law and tie up Homeland Security forces during a high terror alert also identify themselves as enemies of America and its people, since they are prepared to endanger their fellow citizens' lives and to actively aid and abet an enemy force.

Examples of irrational and apolocalyptic hatred are easy to come by. "Bush is the disease. Death is the cure" is example taken from a Los Angeles demonstration against the war. We live in a democracy, where the people are sovereign and elect their leaders. Calling for death to the President, or revolution for that matter, are signals of criminal intention, and need to be taken as such. "We Support Our Troops When They Shoot Their Officers" -- a banner paraded at an illegal demonstration in San Francisco -- is another sign of criminal and treasonous intent. Those who participate in illegal efforts to sabotage homeland defense, and who proclaim irrational hatred of America and its leaders are telling us something it is important that we hear. They are telling us who they are. They are telling us that they are at war, and that we are their enemy. They deserve to be taken seriously, not for their sake, but for ours.

Remove religion from the prisons. These prisons are the breeding ground for radical muslims...they all come out with "new" names and "new" ideas.

No religion in schools, No religion in prisons!

[Travis McGee]

Death to Traitors!

Is Bush still dealing with AA?

America's black Muslims close a rift
Louis Farrakhan's "Nation of Islam" edges closer to orthodox Islam
By Daniel B. Wood

W. Deen Mohammed (in light jacket) and Louis Farrakhan (glasses and bow tie) - stood together in February 2000 in a move aimed at healing rivalry between their groups.

LOS ANGELES - When Imam W. Deen Mohammed ascends a wooden podium at the Los Angeles Convention Center here tomorrow, the gaze of 20,000 Nation of Islam faithful will rest upon his countenance for Friday prayer. The proceeding, an orthodox Islamic ritual known as Jummah, will mark an important milestone for the famously radical group headed by Louis Farrakhan..........

No they are not. I get so depressed about this kind of thing. My grandfather was in WW2 in the pacific and he was the kind of man that would have put this dog down on the spot. Back in those days he would not have been crucified for doing it.

Louis Farakhan, traveled to Baghdad and had this to say: "The Muslim American people are praying to the almighty God to grant victory to Iraq."

Where is ole' Louy now and what has he been saying this past week?

[swarthyguy]

Saudi perfidy.

After Baghdad, Riyadh?

[WestPoint90]

He actually should have been executed right there on the spot. I've forgotten the details, but I think he could be tried right there and sentenced. I am probably wrong though.

Isn't there a difference between "Muslims" and Black Muslims, aka the Nation of Islam? Does "mainstream" Islam of Middle Eastern Culture, truly identify with the teachings of Farrakan?

IIRC, mainstream Muslims regard Nation of Islam as heretical for its explicitly racist teachings and general goofiness (not too many spaceships in the Qu'ran). In practice, in my completely non-expert opinion, it seems like mainstream Islam has been steadily radicalizing over the past few decades to the point where, thought its theology differs from NoI, its attitudes are similar. (There are exceptions to this trend, such as pro-America, pro-Israel, anti-terror Sheikh Abdul Palazzi of Italy.)

I have a feeling that Farrakhan would be willing to "mainstream" NoI into Wahabbi-style Islam, if there were some Saudi bucks involved. I would not be surprised to find out the Saudis and/or Sadaam had been courting Farrakhan.

In many ways, I fear more for Washington D.C. (Washington, P.C.) than I do any foreign capitol.

The decisions ensuring our survival are being made at home. The most critical one is that of accurately and fearlessly assessing the threat of Islam within our borders. I hope that the military and the FBI get off their P.C. bent and come up with some policies that protect the American people or we're done for.

Thanks. Just read the link.

Makes sense to me. Theological differences aside, they really are birds of a feather.

But I also firmly believe that guilt by association is so opposite constitutional principles that I don't even want to discuss it

Illbay, you have great common sense which I admire, even if you are the vanity monitor!

And to think I used to encorage these people, before I really knew what they were about. Now I realize that they just feed into "back rage" and gangsterism.

Sad to say, lack of entrepreneurism is what still keeps black folks down.
