Chicago Drug Gang Leader Says if Anyone Insults Muhammad, 'His Head Gotta Go'
[PJ] It could be a whole new trend, drug dealers against blasphemy: Jason Brown, according to the Associated Press, is the "37-year-old leader of the AHK gang," and "could be heard on secret FBI recordings speaking admiringly about beheadings by the Islamic State group." Brown, also known as Abdul Ja’Me, said that if anyone insulted Muhammad, "his head gotta go."

The illustrious Brown’s AHK represents a convergence between drug trafficking and Islam. According to prosecutors, AHK deals drugs all over Chicago, and is "comprised of former members of the Black P-Stone, Gangster Disciples and Four Corner Hustlers who converted to Islam, the court filings say. The gang requires all new members to convert."
Is this unique to this Chicago gang, or it is becoming a trend across the country?
The new Muslims of AHK display the zeal that is common to converts in general. Brown "handed over $500 on three occasions this year to someone he believed would wire it to an Islamic State fighter." He also talked about traveling to the Islamic State’s domains himself.

Above all, he and his comrades picked up on the fact that jihadists have used drugs to fund their efforts for years. Years ago, in his study of the Taliban, journalist Ahmed Rashid reported: "Abdul Rashid, the head of the Taliban’s anti-drugs control force in Kandahar, spelt out the nature of his unique job. He is authorized to impose a strict ban on the growing of hashish, ’because it is consumed by Afghans and Muslims.’ But, Rashid tells me without a hint of sarcasm, ’Opium is permissible because it is consumed by kafirs [unbelievers] in the West and not by Muslims or Afghans.’ This seems to have been a common view among the Taliban. Another Taliban named Khaled asked, ’Who cares if heroin is wreaking havoc in the West? It doesn’t matter; they aren’t Muslims.’"

And in December 2017, Politico revealed that "in its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States."
Given Mr. Obama’s enjoyment of a variety of chemical substances over the course of his life, no doubt he considered that a second win.
