FBI searching Islamic Center in Fairfax, VA

[kcvl]

Per Fox News...

[BagCamAddict]

The institute ... is managed and staffed by Saudi diplomats.

Well isn't that nice. Does that mean they have the usual Diplomatic Immunity and all we will do is send them back home?

[Ebony and Ivory]

yes. when we drove by on our way home, we day the center taped off with many cop cars sitting outside. we were rather late (8:30 p.m.) so we may have missed the feds, but plenty of fairfax cops out there.

[livius]

And then they'll come back in a couple of months and we can sent them away again? And then they'll come back in a couple of months...(Like the Iranians in NYC.)

AP update:

[same as other article in reply #176; only new info follows in bold]

< snip >

A task force of federal agents, including the FBI, raided the offices of the Institute of Islamic and Arabic Sciences and carried out boxes. Earlier this year, 16 Saudi diplomats affiliated with the institute had their passports revoked. State Department officials said the diplomats were teaching at the institute rather than serving as diplomats.

the home depot where the fbi agent linda (franklin, I think) got shot was down the road to the east near falls church.

this is literally less than a mile from my house.

Arm yourself.

Thank you both for your clarification on the Home Depot mix-up. (by me). Heh.

[El Gato]

this may be perceived in the Muslim community as a fishing expedition

Maybe it was, and maybe it wasn't, but the real question is "did they catch anything?"

I suggest you look at HipShot's posts on the Threat Matrix thread before you attack him on his views

Can you post a link?

Trying to preempt something?

I think so. It seems that there is a round-up of sorts going on or at the very least a good freeze out in an attempt to avert something.

[SendShaqtoIraq]

I would write down the time, go home and call the FBI. If they can get there before the library closes and that day's computer sign-up sheet is thrown away, they can get their names (or at least the names they're using.)

The Saudis wouldn't be involved in terrorism ..that would go against the religion of peace of Allah the merciful!

Man ........ I can remember when the only thing in Merrifield was a drivein movie and we used to buy fresh butchered chickens by the dozen from a farmer on Gallows Road.

[GOPcapitalist]

Disturbing, but it doesn't surprise me. As anybody who's even set foot in the local wal-mart can tell you, the area is some sort of hotbed for attracting mohammedans. And since the Religion of Peace (tm) has an odd way of bringing terrorist wackos wherever it goes, these sorts of establishments pop up soon after. About a year ago they busted several of them as would be terrorists just a few miles up the road in Falls Church, and then there were the paintball guys who were practicing at a terror camp out in the woods to the west of DC.
