People don't undrerstand that you don't have to be an "official" member of the terror group to be a terrorist for them.

We'll see where the ties lead ...

It's early yet... as this investigation unfolds, keep an eye out for the word : "Jamaat," as in Jamaat al Fuqra, Jamaat al Islam, or Jamaat al Tabligh. 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."

Well, the son is reported to be a citizen of Jamaica, and the elder reported to be a security guard (I use that term loosely here) for the million man march.So some of the dots are there to connect.

Good point. There may be some direct, or even indirect links established and verified.

But in my heart, it is pretty clear in any case based on the things I put in that post. If a person is Muslim, if they are radical (preaching like Farrakhan), if they aprrove of 911 .... then they are an Islamic terrorist waiting to happen IMHO.

That certainly doesn't mean that there are not others who are criminal and murderes. It certainly doesn't mean that there are not also very organized terror activites. But we may find that these are of the worse variety because they just "pop up" whenever these like minded people decide to cut loose.

I pray it doesn't go that way ... but we'd best be prepared.

Too many coming from the Caribe for this to not be a serious issue.
