June 9, 2006 -- The Queens chapter of an international jihadist group - founded by the Brooklyn College grad accused of being an al Qaeda sympathizer - is terrorizing people in the extremist's old stomping grounds, residents said yesterday.
"They have a lot of hatred [but] the police said they can't do anything about them," Kana Chauhan, president of the Jackson Heights Merchants Association, said of the radical group Al Muhajiroun.
The organization is tied to suspected terrorist ally Syed "Fahad" Hashmi, a disciple of Syrian cleric Omar Bakri who was banned from speaking on English college campuses.
The Queens-bred Hashmi, who was arrested in London Wednesday on charges he moved funds and military gear to notorious terror camps in Pakistan, founded the local chapter of the extremist group. Each weekend, it sets up its hate-spewing operation on 37th Avenue and 74th Street.
"They're against America, they make trouble," local merchant Amarjit Singh said. "Whatever they say is really nasty."
Hashmi, who has called the United States "the biggest terrorist in the world" and is a fan of homegrown Taliban fighter John Walker Lindh, was indicted last month in Manhattan. He's fighting extradition in Britain.
Meanwhile, nearly every Saturday for more than a year, Hashmi's buddies - who call themselves the Islamic Thinkers - have unloaded their propaganda from a minivan and set up a table festooned with anti-U.S. banners and fliers.
Then, shouting and using a megaphone, the young firebrands - most are in their 20s and early 30s - walk the street spewing hate.
"They display pictures of people dying in the war. They want people to feel they're right and get them thinking against [President] Bush and America," said Sarabjit Damber, 24.

Thank you backhoe.
Gladly- I strongly suspect that as the Toronto 17 are interrogated, and the information gained when Z was iced is processed, we will see more and more connections among these groups.
Yep, I agree.
Time for the most tolerant people in the world (us) to take matters into our own hands and send a message that this is a new day in America. Law enforcement cannot be trusted to protect us. It won't take them long to figure out that we mean business.
