I don't see that this particular instance is a case of "war with Islam." This appears to me to be a case of an evil, stupid man who is also an opportunist. "I'll change my name to something Muslim, rob, kill, and maim, and excuse it all in the name of Allah if I have to."

Scrolling Fox News says: The Seattle Times is reporting that this guy was sympathetic to the 9/11 hijackers.

This guy's a Muslim terrorist, whether he's affiliated with other Muslim terrorists or not.

Its being reported that he converted to Islam 15-17 years ago.

Black Muslims change their names to Muslim names. They ARE Muslims, make no mistake about it, although a particular sect.

I've heard it reported that this guy worked security at The Million Man March, a creation of Black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan.

Farrakhan defended Osama Bin Laden after the 911 attacks, don't forget.

He converted to Islam about 15 years ago, and worked with the Nation of Islam's security on the million man march.

It's way too early for this conclusion.

As this investigation unfolds, keep an eye out for the word : "Jamaat," as in Jamaat al Fuqra, Jamaat al Islam, or Jamaat al Tabligh (Jemaah, jemaat, gemaat, etc. are variants.). They are front groups for elements within Pakistan's ISI that are shoulder to shoulder with the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

Other camps like this have been linked to Pakistan, so we'll see. Check this out...

Amongst the alleged members of the TJ (Tablighi Jamaat) in the Muslim community in the US is Mr.Louis Fara Khan, the Black Muslim leader. The TJ operates in the US and the Caribbean directly through its own preachers deputed from Pakistan and also recruited from the Pakistani immigrant community in the US as well as through front organisations such as the Jamaat-ul-Fuqra founded in the 1980s under the leadership of Sheikh Mubarik Ali Gilani, who generally lives in Pakistan, but travels frequently to the US and the Caribbean.

The annual report on the Patterns of Global Terrorism during 1998 issued by the Counter-Terrorism Division of the US State Department states as follows of the Jamaat-ul-Fuqra: "Seeks to purify Islam through violence. Members have purchased isolated rural compounds in North America to live communally, practise their faith and insulate themselves from Western culture. Fuqra members have attacked a variety of targets that they view as enemies of Islam, including Muslims they regard as heretics and Hindus. Attacks during the 1980s included assassinations and fire bombings across the US. Fuqra members in the US have been convicted of criminal violations, including murder and fraud."

"I'll change my name to something Muslim, rob, kill, and maim, and excuse it all in the name of Allah if I have to."

Isn't that the goal of Islam? I thought it was, since they seem to make such an effort to get hardcore convicted felons in prison to convert. I submit to you that a large number of Islamic converts had that exact idea when making the decision to follow Allah.
