National Insecurity

According to The Last Refuge (hat tip to Right Truth):

Julia Davis is a former DHS officer/supervisor for Customs and Border Protection turned “Whistleblower” who, in an effort to suppress her story and discredit her, was labelled a “domestic terrorist” and persecuted to a breathtaking extent.

1. Isolate

2. Ridicule

3. Marginalize

Her crime? She had evidence about potential terrorists entering the country on July 4, 2004 and her attempts to report her concerns “up the chain” were ignored because the intelligence department was having a unit social event barbeque – so she reported her concerns to the FBI instead about border crossers that fit the profile outlined in an alert to the Border Patrol. Her report to the FBI was viewed by DHS as a disloyal “whistleblower”.

CBS “60 Minutes” interviewed Julia Davis at length – and then cancelled the scheduled airing...

FOX Reports Ummah Imam Abdullah Shot Dead in FBI Raid

PASTORIUS CUTTING IN:

Check this out. Note the following sentences in the following report:

"Federal authorities say a leader of what they describe as a nationwide radical Sunni Islam group ... at a Dearborn warehouse on charges that included conspiracy to sell stolen goods and illegal possession and sale of firearms. Authorities also conducted raids elsewhere to try to round up 10 followers named in a federal complaint."

Do you realize Federal authorities are admitting here that there is a nationwide radical Sunni group involved in CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY.

We may be seeing the Feds working on their first RICO prosecution of radical Isalmists.

According to my theory, and it is only a theory, they could probably close almost every Saudi funded mosque in the USA if they used RICO correctly.

We may be seeing the beginning of a real break in the dam. This group is relatively small, and they are American-born, prison-converted Black Muslims. But, now the Feds are setting the precedent for busting up radical Islamists using Criminal Conspiracy charges.

THAT'S BIG NEWS!


Is it my imagination, or are the raids coming thick and fast the past couple weeks? FOX News is reporting that there is now one less radical imam in Dearborn following an ill-considered attempt to resist arrest by several armed FBI agents.

Feds: Imam Who Led Radical Islam Group Killed in FBI Raid
Wednesday, October 28, 2009

DETROIT — A man described as a leader of a radical Sunni Islam group in the U.S. was fatally shot Wednesday afternoon while resisting arrest and exchanging gunfire with federal agents, authorities said.

Agents at a warehouse in Dearborn were trying to arrest Luqman Ameen Abdullah, 53, on charges that included conspiracy to sell stolen goods and illegal possession and sale of firearms. Ten followers listed in a criminal complaint were also being rounded up in the area.

Abdullah refused to surrender, fired a weapon and was killed by gunfire from agents, FBI spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold said.

In a court filing, the FBI said Abdullah, also known as Christopher Thomas, was an imam of a Black Muslim radical group named Ummah whose primary mission is to establish an Islamic state within the United States.

No one was charged with terrorism. But Abdullah was "advocating and encouraging his followers to commit violent acts against the United States," FBI agent Gary Leone said in an affidavit.

"He regularly preaches anti-government and anti-law enforcement rhetoric," Leone said. "Abdullah and his followers have trained regularly in the use of firearms, and continue to train in martial arts and sword fighting."

Leone said members of the national group mostly are black and some converted to Islam while in prisons across the United States.

"Abdullah preaches that every Muslim should have a weapon, and should not be scared to use their weapon when needed," Leone wrote. It was not immediately clear how many of the other 10 suspects were in custody.

The group believes that a separate Islamic state in the U.S. would be controlled by Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown, who is serving a life sentence in a federal prison in Colorado for shooting two police officers in Georgia in 2000, Leone said. Al-Amin, a veteran of the black power movement, started the group after he converted to Islam in prison.

"They're not taking their cues from overseas," said Jimmy Jones, a professor of world religions at Manhattanville College and a longtime Muslim prison chaplain. "This group is very much American born and bred."

How reassuring. Read the rest. Should be interesting to see if there is any "response" from the Dearbornistan "Muslim community".

Afghan-Born Man Charged with Jihad Conspiracy in Massachusetts

FOX News report here and local Boston news station coverage here. The story is still developing so there is plenty more to read.

I know this area well. He lived in a suburban, upscale neighborhood less than 5 miles from an large Islamic Center of Boston property, and about 10 miles from the Islamic Center of Burlington, which is located at the edge of a major shopping mall.

He is a citizen, and his father is a professor at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in Boston.

Mass. Man Charged With Alleged Terror Plot to Attack U.S. Shopping Malls
Wednesday, October 21, 2009

A 27-year-old Massachusetts man has been charged with conspiring with others to support and plan violent jihad in and outside the United States, including terror plots to attack U.S. shopping malls and U.S. military in Iraq.

Federal officials in Boston say Tarek Mehanna of Sudbury worked with others from 2001 to May of 2008 to provide support and resources in a conspiracy to "kill, kidnap, main or injure" people in foreign countries and to kill prominent U.S. politicians.

Mehanna was charged in a complaint with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, according to the Department of Justice. The complaint further alleges that the co-conspirators attempted to radicalize others and inspire each other by, among other things, watching and distributing jihadi videos.

The charges accuse the suspects of talking about their desire to participate in Islamist holy war and of their desire to die on the battlefield.The case comes less than a month after an Afghan-born man, Najibullah Zazi, was accused of plotting a bomb attack against the United States.

Federal prosecutors say Mehanna and his conspirators planned the logistics of a mall attack — including the possibility of attacking emergency responders. However, authorities say the plot was not carried out because they could not get automatic weapons.

In His Own Backyard

From Steven Emerson's Investigative Project on Terrorism:

The variety of evidence shown to the jury in the Holy Land Foundation trial includes government wiretaps and videos seized during the execution of search warrants at HLF offices and elsewhere.

Many of the documents that linked the defendants to Hamas were written in foreign languages and dealt with a turbulent situation half-way around the world.

Here in the U.S., one Falls Church, VA man who had never even heard of the Holy Land Foundation until recently, tells us the unusual story of how some of the key pieces of evidence popped up... right in his own backyard.

The ACLU Advises Moslems

Not a surprise, of course.

Excerpt from this article in the LA Times:

May 29, 2008

A report that mosques in Los Angeles and San Diego are under federal surveillance has resurrected fears in the Muslim community about government monitoring and led two civil rights groups Wednesday to call for congressional hearings.

[...]

Corey Saylor, Washington spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said the article in the San Diego Union-Tribune "has again raised concerns that our community is being watched."

[...]

ACLU lawyers regularly go to mosques to advise worshipers that they do not have to answer questions from FBI agents about how long they have been in the United States, how often they attend services and what they get out of the sermons...

How many jihadomaniacs are hiding behind the ACLU's lawyers?

Crossposted at THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS , where Reliapundit comments as follows:

amazing: the aclu actually has an outreach program to teach disobedience and obfuscation to potential enemies.

this is treason.

at the very least, this is like a mob lawyer who advise his mafia clients on how to set up rackets in advance of doing crime.

lawyers are then not representing clients, but part of the criminal enterprise.

lawyers have done time for this, and the aclu should be busted for this.
