Clarion: Jihadi Cult Associate Arrested in NY With Firearms Stockpile
2017-07-09
From July 3rd, but still of interest, I think. Muslims of America have appeared regularly in our pages since 2005.
[Breitbart] A long-time associate of a U.S.-based Islamist terrorist organization, Moslems of America (MOA),
... also known in English as Muslims of the Americas when they are talking about their Canadian and Caribbean ventures, and formally as The Muslims of America, Inc. (TMOA). The estimated 3,000 member group, mainly African-Americans, boasted 22 communities across the U.S. last year, and is one of the American front groups of Jamaat ul-Fuqra or Jamaat al-Fuqra, the other being Quranic Open University. Jamaat ul-Fuqra was listed as a terror organization by the State Department in 1999 and is banned in Pakistan. The Wikipedia page is quite interesting...

 in Johnson City, NY. Authorities discovered that he had a large cache of weapons inside a storage locker. A source inside MOA says the weapons were intended for the group’s "Islamberg" headquarters in Hancock, NY.

The suspect, 64-year old Ramadan Abdullah, was previously arrested in 1977 when he and another man tried to rob a candy store in Brooklyn and someone was murdered in the process. When police searched his home, they found enough material to build 50 bombs. In the end, the charges against Abdullah were strangely reduced (see below).

On May 31, Abdullah was arrested after trying to steal four boxes of ammunition from a local Gander Mountain store.
"I just can't help m'self, y'r honor. The doc said I'm a kleptomaniac."
When police questioned him about the purpose of the ammo, his answers made them suspicious, and they obtained a search warrant for a storage locker he was renting in the town of Union.

During that search, police found a large assortment of weaponry including:

  • 8 assault weapons

  • 4 loaded handguns

  • 1 loaded shotgun

  • 2 rifles

  • 64 high-capacity ammunition feeding devices

  • flak jackets

  • 1,000s of rounds of ammunition, including .50-caliber armor-piercing rounds
Searches of other residences linked to Abdullah turned up another loaded handgun, more high-capacity ammunition feeding devices and ammunition, including .38-caliber rounds.

New York State Police Major Jim Barnes would not say whether Abdullah was connected to terrorist groups or any organizations, but confirmed that police believe Abdullah had made trips overseas.
Oh? Was Pakistan or Afghanistan one of his destinations, or perhaps somewhere even more interesting?
"There’s no indications there was a plan in place to commit an act of violence. However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate...
 it begs the question, what was he doing with all this and what were his intentions down the road?" said New York State Police Maj. Jim Barnes.
It does, indeed.
Abdullah is currently being held in the Broome County Jail without bail.
