In the weeks after the attacks, thousands of local residents rallied around mosques, offering support to members who might be the target of racial attacks.

Stupid bleeding heart liberals...

All these mosques (that the Saudi's pay for according to my a.m. radio station) need to be infiltrated. I picture them as command stations and breeding grounds for hatred against America.

Another member of the group had converted to Islam while serving time for robbery in a Washington state prison, his mother said. She said her son "saw Islam as a way to put his life back in order," but he instead became more angry and violent.

Well, now, isn't this a telling statement!

Mainstream Muslim mosques across the United States and in the Seattle area have consistently rejected the concept of jihad and mourned along with the rest of America for the victims of Sept. 11.

This is the "party line". right on up to G.W.

But, please, can anyone show me evidence of this? And don't cite me Zogby or some other TV talking head. Where are the "Million Muslim Marches"?

The sign is all that remains of the Dar-us-Salaam mosque at 2201 E. Union St. in Seattle. A federal terrorism investigation has focused on some members, both African-American and white, of the now-defunct mosque.

Bump.

Doesn't appear to be al Fuqra.

Bet those "African Muslims" who moved away were Somalis.

Another example of the active-hate wing of Wahhabism expanding into the cracks of the American underworld.

The only person in custody in the investigation is Semi Osman, a British citizen and a former preacher at the mosque. Osman, 32, was indicted by the grand jury last month on charges of fraudulently trying to win U.S. citizenship and of possessing a handgun with its serial number obliterated. The government alleges that the immigration violation "was committed to facilitate an act of international terrorism." Osman's attorney, Robert Leen, acknowledges that his client is being pressured to cooperate in the federal terrorism investigation but denies that his client had any involvement with terrorism. Authorities say Osman — a permanent U.S. resident and a member of the U.S. Naval Reserve — has knowledge of the group's activities.

I didn't realize that permanent residents can serve in the reserves? Is this true?

Thanks Sarcasm!

This ping is for the rest of you who follow the Islamakazes in America and their first cousins, the al fuqra and our home grown black muslims.

The degrees of separation from al Qaeda, to al Fuqra, to our Black Muslims, to African Muslims get very blurry.

They are all financed and controlled by the active-hate wing of Wahhabism in Saudi Land.

Yes. Citizenship is not a requirement to serve in the Armed Forces of the United States, but a non-citizen serving in the military is restricted from security clearances and some career fields.

Keep an eye on Calypso Louie and every felon recruited in our jails to be come a hate ridden Black Muslim.

This is typical of what happens when our tax $'s are used to pay for Black Muslim so called clerics to recruit in our prisons:

Another member of the group had converted to Islam while serving time for robbery in a Washington state prison, his mother said. She said her son "saw Islam as a way to put his life back in order," but he instead became more angry and violent.

"He's full of hatred and violence," said the woman from her home in Colorado Springs, Colo. "He sympathizes with Osama bin Laden. I hate it. We're not even speaking anymore."

It is encouraging to read that the FBI is finding these terrorists and dismantling their little networks. We don;t hear much of this on the media though do we? Could it be that the press wishes us to believe that the homeland security team is doing nothing? I think that is exactly the intent.
The mo is the same as the group that was here in my area of Fresno California, also busted up recently. I am alarmed however, to read that some of these thugs are white. Harder to identify I would think.( I do not believe they are not profiling in real life).

Our prison systems have been breeding grounds for the Muslim religion for some time now. It is the fastest growing religion in the world. Frightening to think about when you consider how many of them may have joined up with the radical Muslims who intend to destroy us.
