Police have arrested two Ontario men wanted by the FBI for their alleged involvement with a radical Islamic group in Michigan.According to the RCMP, officers arrested Mohammad Al-Sahli, 33, and Yassir Ali Kahn, 30, at residences in Windsor early Saturday morning. It is unclear if the men were arrested in their own homes.

Al-Sahli and Kahn were the last of 11 men listed in an FBI criminal complaint that says the group's aim was to commit violent acts against the United States. The two men both face a single charge of conspiracy to commit federal crimes.
Also named in the complaint is Carswell's father, Luqman Ameen Abdullah, an imam at a Detroit mosque. Abdullah was killed in Dearborn, Mich., on Wednesday when he resisted arrest and fired his gun at federal agents. Authorities say Abdullah was the leader of Ummah, a black Muslim group that endorsed violence and hoped to establish a Sharia-law state within the United States.

But as the local FBI honcho kept insisting, this group is an outlier, abnormal, unrecognizable to pius Sunni Muslims in America... never mind that they were closely tied to mainline Muslim leadership councils, and even to erstwhile Florida professor Sami al-Arian. edit: According to the Washington Times, there are forty to fifty mosques, not thirty. The Ummah is the third largest of the black Muslim varieties of Islam in the United States -- first is traditional Sunni, second is Nation of Islam. Interesting that Muslims choose to segregate themselves within a religion that is supposed to view all as equal in the eyes of Allah. |
