al-Qaeda Makes Push To Recruit African-Americans
2007-05-21
Al-Qaida is aggressively recruiting black Americans for suicide operations against the homeland, say FBI analysts who have reviewed recent videotaped messages from the terror group's leaders.

A speech released May 5 by Osama bin Laden's deputy confirms earlier fears that African-Americans are the No. 1 recruiting target for the next generation of attacks. Al-Qaida has been trying to lower its Arab profile to reduce the odds that its terror cells will be subjected to security scrutiny.

"Federal and local law enforcement authorities should be aware that al-Qaida terrorists may not appear Arab," warns a recent Homeland Security intelligence report obtained by WND. "Non-Arab al-Qaida operatives could find it easier to avoid unwanted scrutiny since they may not fit typical profiles."

#17  ...meaning drive-bys on the local storefront mosques, and capping the bean-pie sellers on sight.

Gives "Outsourcing" a new meaning?

#16  Unless you were truely an Arab, you could never really be a moslem in their eyes. Yup, Darfur and MANY African countries to boot. How do you get 90% conversion rates? It takes it by brute force, and passes the humiliation on to you.

#15  What is really funny about this is what the reaction of street gangs like the Bloods and the Crips would be to an NOI belt bomber : lots of dead NOIs all over the place. One of the reasons that street gangs can operate in urban ghettos is that the local cops are tired of trying to do much about said gangs and then getting undermined/betrayed/charged/jailed by the local politicians for taking out the troublemakers. So a basic "Stay in your area for your crimes and don't shoot at us" agreement operates in most major urban ghettos between the police and the gangs.
However, if the NOI starts urban terrorism, the LEO responds will be State Police and Fed, NOT local. No agreements there, and LOTS of Crips and Bloods wind up in detention awaiting questioning. Plus, while the state boys are running the neighborhoods, all that easy dope and ho money vanishes since the middle class white clients do NOT like being arrested for their partying.
All of which means that the major street gangs have every incentive to make the NOI go away permanently - meaning drive-bys on the local storefront mosques, and capping the bean-pie sellers on sight.

#14  It's the first time al-Qaida has identified Malcolm X as a fellow Islamic "struggler and martyr," analysts say.

Not that Islam wouldn't declare a ham sandwich as a "struggler and martyr," if it served their ends. Our government missed a golden opportunity by not trumpeting more loudly the Muslim on black violence in Darfur. Islam deftly tells the big lie over and over again only to be met with mute disengagement here at home. Our politicians are the very worst sort of fools.

#13  AQ and NOI also have in common a hatred of Jews.

#11  Z man also conveniently skips over the fact that most of the black slaves were sold to the slavers by muslims! so in essence he is asking them to bring back the old masters!

#10  ..latin women wishing to escape the vulgarity of modern Us culture and find refuge in a preset and heavily structured version of feminity.

Islam has the answer for that! BURKA!!!

#9  Lotp was on top of that, btw : islam as the ultimate "in yer face" to the Western (aka White Male) world order, from neomarxists in mexico (like the subcommandante marcos, who is supposedly a convert now) to black inmates in the USA, or latin women wishing to escape the vulgarity of modern Us culture and find refuge in a preset and heavily structured version of feminity.

#8  If that's not a rethorical question, IIUC, the NOI is a *cult* whose prophet is not old mo' but its founder "elijah muhammad", includes UFO lore (apocalypse will be brung upon Humanity by UFOs), borrows its liturgy from protestantism, and is foremost a black supremacist movement (whitey being the creation of an evil sorcerer 6000 years ago, blacks being the primal race and the source of all knowledge and civilization, etc, etc), with religious trappings. It's islam-flavored, not islamic.

And on a more pragmatic level, the NOI is the original islamic mass-terrorist organization in the USA :

Remembering The Zebra Killings
Remembering the Zebra Victims

In addition to thne NOI, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_percenters and al fuqra, whose training camp in NY State was featured here a while back, and was involved in shaping the DC Sniper's mindset (who was initially a NOI convert).

#7  What is the distinction between AQ and the Nation of Islam? Is the distinction (if any) one without a difference? Inquiring minds want to know.

#3  African Americans should look at Darfur if they want to know what is the fate of Blacks in the Islamic order.

#2  What was their excuse for the attacks during the Clinton years? The poignant fact to remember is there hasn't been a success attack on the homeland since September 11, 2001. The Z-man is praying for a blue state victory so they can successfully carry out the attacks the Bush Administration is preventing.

#1  "American voters had a chance to fire Bush in the last presidential election for invading Iraq, but they chose instead to reelect him. He suggests they forfeited their chance for protection from terrorism."

Oh well, so much for the hudna with the Blue States. I predict the next attack will be in SF, Portland, or some other liberal "Paradise".
