To: aristeides;Note : This mosque in this shopping center is the same one attended by some of the 9/11 hijackers; it also was attended by some of the Paintball cell jihadists. It's also linked to Ali al Timimi who is an American of Iraqi extraction some link to the anthrax case of 2001. The mosque was at one point led the Ft. Hood shooter's al Qaeda confidant Anwar al-Awlaki AKA Anwar al-Aulaqi ; it is the mosque the Ft. Hood shooter attended when he was still living in Virginia.... Anybody know if that big mosque near the Falls Church shoooting is a radical mosque?
You are talking about the Dar AL Hijrah mosque at 3159 Row Place, Falls Church, VA. That would be the windmill shaped building 700 feet from the Home Depot where the FBI agent was murdered.
The mosque/islamic center is where this group of eleven were said to meet to hear lectures by an Islamic lecturer: Ali Al-Timimi,
The Michael's craft store that Muhammad/Malvo visited twice earlier in 2002 is also in the same shopping center, so in my opinion, M&M must have visited this mosque in January and August 2002. I would even bet they ESCAPED to this mosque after the murder...
And with the LEADER of this group of 11 jihadists ALSO being a black Gulf I war veteran, Washington State native, and Islamic convert, I have to assume they met at some point and knew each other.
It is well-known that the dominant Muslim theology in Northern Virginia is Saudi Wahhabism, from the Dar al-Hijra mosque in Falls Church, to the phony "charitable foundations" Herndon, to the Graduate School of Islamic and Social Sciences in Leesburg.

That mosque needs to be shut down and every single person who worships there waterboarded.
Well that explains the Falls Church Michaels.
There is also a mosque (at least when I was growing up) right near where the shooting took place in Aspen Hill.
Glenmont Shopping Center in Wheaton was their next stop; I’m not sure if there is a mosque in that area but there is a large population of muslims.

* Ali Al-Timimi : The home of a Muslim scholar who in the past has lectured at the Falls Church mosque, Ali Timimi, was searched as part of the investigation, according to court records, but he is not charged in the indictment. [Todd] Royer said the men were following the advice of Timimi, who told them at a dinner in the days after Sept. 11 that Muslims in the United States were in danger. "Timimi said Muslims will get put in camps," said Royer, and Timimi urged the men to seek refuge in Muslim countries. ------ "Area Muslims Charged With Conspiring With Terrorist Group," By Jerry Markon and Susan Schmidt, Washington Post Staff Writers, Friday, June 27, 2003; 12:46 PM
Timimi was ultimately convicted of recruiting for jihad and was given an incredible number of years of prison time; life + 7 decades as I recall. He asked his followers to wage war on the US within days of 9/11. You'd think the press would be curious about that but no, they let it slide.
Timimi was also associated with the terror charity Benevolence International Foundation [BIF].
I seem to recall that Timimi had an oncologist buddy in Albany NY who was involved with Mullah Krekar's Ansar al Islam, the group later joined to Zarqawi's al Tawhid group based in Iraq [cells both in Kurdish northern Iraq and in Baghdad itself before the war.
In the summer of 2001 before the 9/11 attacks al Timimi spoke alongside the Ft. Hood shooter's email imam Anwar al Awlaki/al Aulaqi. For some reason old 2002-3 reporting of al Awlaki uses the spelling "al Aulaqi" but since the Ft. Hood shootings the press opted to use al Awlaki. They do that a lot in other cases, too, it seems, almost as if the press wants to make it hard to track these guys as the perps themselves want to.
Timimi's paintball cell/VA jihad/Lashkar-e-Taiba followers include this guy, the Islamic convert Randall Todd "Ismail" Royer, who is associated with the antiwar siteAntiwar.com, among other things. Royer was the PR director of MAS. The MAS is associated with the ICNA. The MASW is also part of the Dallas/Ft. Worth terrorist network which is linked to ISNA. Royer was also a CAIR official.
CAIR was created by a threesome from the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP)
Maybe al Timimi, Randall Royer, Zarqawi and just about everybody linked to Dar al Hijrah mosque had PTSD too. ;-)
