Federal authorities are investigating whether accused snipers John Allen Muhammad and John Lee Malvo had ties to a growing sect of militant American Muslims committed to waging holy war against the United States.

Law-enforcement authorities yesterday said investigators want to know whether the suspects

Bump!

Gramps...more al-Fuqra mess? We'll see...

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for the bump.

Now we have two news sources saying that these mass murderers might be al Fuqra scumbags.

Once these scumbags were identified and their Nation of Islam connections were made public, I started suggesting that they might be al Fuqra scumbags.

BTTT

[Grampa Dave]

Fyi.

Now, two news sources are saying that John Allen Muhammad and John Lee Malvo might be members of al Fuqra.

So there are some 3000 of these people across the country? Dedicated to purifying Islam through violence....?
3000 people could be responsible for a lot of violent crime nationwide.

American Muslims committed to waging holy war against the United States.

Not Chrstians,Jews,Mormons,Baptists, Methodists,etc.

We need to wake up. Religous freedom does not include the right to wage war on the citizens of the United States.

This religion of peace is nothing but a cover for a group advocating the violent destruction of our nation to be replaced by an Islamic theocracy.

Now, two news sources are saying that John Allen Muhammad and John Lee Malvo might be members of al Fuqra.

You mean, two besides Free Republic?

Charlotte County Sheriff Thomas D. Jones, whose jurisdiction includes Red House, said that while FBI agents did not establish any specific link with the southern Virginia commune, agents told him "there had been a connection at a similar community in Georgia."

The earliest known al-Fuqra attack occured in 1983 in Portland, Ore., when Stephen Paster, an al-Fuqra leader, was accused of setting off a pipe bomb at a Portland hotel. He served four years of a 20-year sentence and while suspected in two other bombings in Seattle in 1984, was never charged in those cases.

Mr. Muhammad converted to Islam in 1984 and, as a former U.S. soldier, was stationed at Fort Lewis near Tacoma, Wash., at the time of the initial al-Fuqra attacks. Al-Fuqra also was named in the August 1984 slayings of three India natives in Tacoma and in a series of fire bombings in Seattle.

One law-enforcement official noted yesterday that the sniper killings began Oct. 2 — the anniversary of the 1995 conviction of World Trade Center bombing ringleader Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman and others, including members of al-Fuqra.

"There are a series of coincidences here involving Mr. Muhammad and al-Fuqra that have to be followed," said the official. "Even if the investigation leads nowhere, it would be negligent not to pursue every angle."

Who's lurking whom?

Looks like they overplayed their hand though. Muhammad didn't go t Fort Lewis and convert to Islam until late '85.

Post here to the thread if you'd like to be on or off the Sniper Muhammad ping list.

Sabertooth, could you please add me to your ping list?

[gubamyster]

Just curious have they ever found Malvo's mother, Una James? If not, maybe she is in hiding due to her illegal immigration status, or out of the country, or another victim of these two?

Mr. Muhammad converted to Islam in 1984

So why did the Washington Post report last week, in that article on Mildred Muhammad, that the two converted in 1997. Could that have been when he converted to a more militant form of Islam?

Just heard on WMAL: 13-year-old boy released from hospital.

Many of the group's members are recruited out of prison, authorities said, adding that secrecy is the hallmark of the sect and that members are trained, among other things, in the use of aliases.

You'd think their parole officers could keep better tabs on them these days.

If anyone knows more about the potential link to the Georgia commune, please post.

[ArrogantBustard]

Not Hindus, Buddhists, Rastafarians, Zoroastrians or Pagans, either. Just the Religion of Whirled Peas.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for the correction.

Besides the real news source, FREE REPUBLIC, two other news sources are now saying that the mass murderers might have been al Fuqra.

I think tha Malvo was just the homosexual boy toy along for a Gay Islamakazi mass murder adventure. Muhammad is the probable al Fuqra member.

[Grampa Dave]

Their parole officers could be Black Muslims or members of the Nation of Islam. Then, they would be glad that these X felons had found religion.
