Detroit Jihad
by Robert SpencerLuqman Ameen Abdullah, the imam of Detroits Masjid Al-Haqq (Mosque of Truth), was killed Wednesday in a shootout with FBI agents. The agents were trying to arrest him on charges of conspiracy, receipt of stolen goods, firearms offenses and more. Agents also arrested eight mosque members; then Thursday, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police caught Abdullahs son, Mujahid Carswell. Two other accused jihadists also fled, and have not yet been found. According to the indictment, in his mosque in Detroit Luqman Abdullah was preaching offensive jihad and the establishment of a Sharia state in North America. This sovereign Isamic state would be ruled by Islamic law and by the apparent godfather of Abdullahs movement, Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin. Al-Amin is the former Black Panther and convert to Islam who gained fame under the name H. Rap Brown. Al-Amin is now serving a life sentence for murdering two police officers, while his disciples, like Luqman Abdullah, carry on the message he articulated so memorably in the 1960s: If America dont come around, were gonna burn it down. In the spirit of his mentor, Abdullah has told his flock: America must fall. He has encouraged the Muslims in his mosque to support Hizballah, the Taliban and Osama bin Laden. He exhorted them to bestir themselves to pious deeds: We should be figuring out how to fight the Kuffar that is, unbelievers. We got to take out the U.S. government. The U.S. government is nothing but Kuffars. Among the unbelievers were FBI agents, about whom Abdullah declared: Deal with them, deal with them the way, the way they supposed to be dealt with . Its not that complicated, man .If they are coming to get me Ill just strap a bomb on and blow up everybody. A law enforcement official wrote in an affidavit that Abdullah and his followers have trained regularly in the use of firearms, and continue to train in martial arts and sword fighting in accord with Abdullahs dictum that every Muslim believer should have a weapon and should not be scared to use their weapon when needed. Abdullah found justification for all this in the Islamic holy book, the Quran, which he said justified stealing, robbing and other illegal acts, as long as they profit Islam. One would think that Muslim spokesmen in America would be anxious to prove their moderate bona fides by repudiating Abdullah, praising the efforts of law enforcement officials, and announcing new measures to teach against the understanding of Islam that prevailed at the Masjid al-Haqq and to shore up the moderate Islam that politically correct orthodoxy insists prevails in all mosques in America in the first place. But no such luck. Instead, they praised Abdullah and excoriated law enforcement. Rest at link Posted by: ed 2009-10-30 |
