Federal authorities have "ratcheted up" an investigation into suspicions of money-laundering, weapons violations, and other aiding and abetting of terrorist groups by a militant sect of black Muslims that is operating out of rural communes throughout the United States.

The investigation is based on surveillance of activities between a Muslim settlement in southern Virginia and a suspected Middle Eastern terrorist leader.

Muslims of the Americas: In Their Own Words

Muslims of the Americas (MOA) is a virulently anti-Semitic, Islamic extremist group with ties to Al-Fuqra, a terrorist organization that has carried out firebombings and murders in the United States. MOA claims to have offices in six U.S. cities and Toronto and maintains secluded residential communities in New York, Virginia and California. The group's Web site and e-mails have featured writings by notorious anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers, including Michael Hoffman and former Klansman David Duke.

MOA was founded and is led by the radical Pakistani cleric El Sheikh Sayyid Mubarik Ali Jilani (commonly known as Sheikh Jilani or Sheikh Gilani). Based in Lahore, Pakistan, Jilani established MOA in 1980, after arriving in the United States for the first time. In the 1980s, Jilani, who claims to be a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, actively recruited American Muslims to fight against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. MOA claims to have offices in six U.S. cities and Toronto, and it maintains secluded residential communities in New York, Virginia, California, and possibly other states. The group also runs a Web site and an e-mail mailing list.

The available evidence strongly suggests that MOA has served as a corporate front for another group founded by Sheik Jilani, the terrorist organization Al-Fuqra, which has committed firebombings and murders on U.S. soil. Both Sheikh Jilani and MOA officials deny that Al-Fuqra even exists, and MOA claims to be a "peaceful" group. Though relatively few members of MOA have been arrested for criminal activity, two residents of the MOA community in Virginia were recently arrested for firearms violations, and a resident of the MOA community in California was recently arrested for the murder of a Sheriff's Deputy. Muslims of the Americas: In Their Own Words Here are examples of anti-Semitic, anti-Christian,anti-American, and homophobic statements made by MOA, as well as comments that promote violence:

A conection between Islam(PlanesIntoBuildings) and terror? Who would have ever though it?

We had better wake up and get as serious about our survival as the Islamic nuts are about our annhilation!

YES!!!!

Finally, a word from the FBI, that they are doing something about these terrorists among us.

Now just listen to them and all the libbers start screaming ...profiling...discrimination...prejudice...cause these compounds are inhabited mostly by American citizens, and are black.

The latest investigation is focused on Muslim communities composed entirely of black Americans in New York, California, South Carolina and Virginia.

They should also look hard in Tennessee. There's at least one group operating in the rural area near where my Dad lives. Their lifestyle and secrecy fits the pattern.

Thanks to your great thread last year on these bastards who want to kill our family members and their training camp near Fresno, we became aware of these fanatics.

The first step of removing the heads of these vipers, was the cancelling of the charter school funding. The use of our tax $'s to train and brainwash people wanting to kill Americans!

Congratulations to your discovery and getting us on board here!

Obviously the FBI and ATF were much too busy chasing right wingers guilty of owning weapons which were 1/4" too short or long to have any time to go after the Al Fuqra, which after all was only assasinating and firebombing.

Methinks there are FR lurkers at the Washington Times.

They have finally put the picture together developed by Clovis Skeptic last fall.

Yeah like that FBI dork who recently testified about eco terrorism in congress. Before he testified about the eco terrorists, he made sure that Congress knew about the real danger from the evil right wing terrorists.

I could only think of one major act of terrorism that has been blamed on the right wing in the last decade. That was OKC, and one guy has paid for his contribution with his life.

You can bet your last $ that under Jake Reno, there was zero profiling of any Black Muslim Group that openingly advocated violence against Americans and Israelis!

It is time to focus on the real terrorists, Black Muslims, Muslims who advocate violence against our country and us and any foreign Muslim here to commit terrorism.

Travis posted, "Methinks there are FR lurkers at the Washington Times."

It is becoming obvious that a lot of conservatives in the media are using the Free Republic Forum as a resource in documenting the evil that the dark side does.

Yesterday Rodger Hedgecock while substituting for Rush, discussed many issues that were up on FR the day before his appearance and the day of his appearance.

We know that Sean Hannity monitors and values what he finds on Free Republic.

The maggots on the Dark Side know this, and this is why they try spread so much BS and try to divert our attention while playing like conservatives with innane posts and threads.

I heard Liddy on this gang this morning. I hope they get what's coming to them. In the old days blatant traitors and collaborators would need fear for their safety from the citizenry after exposure....

Authorities said the al-Fuqra probe has become an FBI priority under the newly passed anti-terrorism bill known as the USA Patriot Act. FBI agents at the bureau's Washington headquarters have contacted several field agents for additional information on the communes and have begun to question potential witnesses, authorities said. The renewed effort also is based on evidence gathered in prior cases, a search of land and tax records, increased surveillance and numerous ongoing interviews. Much of the new inquiry is based on several weapons cases developed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and other cases prosecuted by state authorities in Colorado.

Good news!

Happy Valentine's Day, Travis.

It's a daily occurence. Michael Savage literally mines FR for most of "his" scoops. It's transparent.

Liddy is another FR lurker.

At least Hugh Hewitt has the class to admit it up front and credits FR nearly every day, he even tells freepers by name (DFU etc) to bump this or that thread.

Re FR lurkers. Sounds like your wish re the FBI and FR has come true.

It is amazing how so many conservative talk show hosts mine the golden nuggets/acorns, discovered and planted by good Freeper researchers for us to read and discuss.

If I was in charge of CI (counter intel) for the Mossad or the FBI, I would monitor FR closely to isolate and track down the other side that posts regularily here.

You know the pro Arab terrorists, the JINOs and others who work 24/7 to blame 9/11 on Americans. Or they try to distract us when we get into something that leads right to the Jihads in America's front doors! Who is paying these clowns and feeding them their disinformation? They are leaving an electronic trail from Free Republic to their computers and then to the middle east where their propaganda comes from.

Thanks to FR, it is getting hard to hide in America if you are a Jihad Johnny from here or from the Islamic motherland. Lets make it even harder for them!
