Homegrown Islamic Radicalism in the US

Feds: Leader of radical Islam group killed in raid

"...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, or prayer leader, of a radical group named Ummah whose primary mission is to establish an Islamic state within the United States...."

.....and this is where I stopped reading. I KNEW that the guy was black, and that he converted to islam in prison.

and sure enough: "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.

A Conservative now against the Afghan War

Dear Congressman Gallegly-

I write you today with a heavy heart.

For all of my life, I believed that my government generally made decisions based upon what was good for my country and it's citizens. I also believed that the United States was clear in its mission of promoting democracy, the rule of the law, and the value of the individual.

World War II began (for the United Stated) and ended in five years. Never was there more clear a case for war, in the face of Nazism. Our mission was defined, executed, and completed with a resolute certainty. Hitler would be defeated, and the world a better place for it.

I am a Republican, and have voted in every election since I was eighteen. I have always regarded the privilege of voting as an obligation to those who fought and died before my time. I voted GOP in the last two elections. I supported my country's actions in the middle east.

This support is now gone. I see no end in sight to this war in Afghanistan, no objective, no benefit to either the United States nor Afghanistan. History tells us that freedom must first be desired, then fought for to have value. Freedom bestowed upon another is nothing more than another CARE package bought and paid for by others, then dropped from somewhere above. Believe me, I am no anti-war zealot who does not recognize a threat when I see it. I am no appeaser.

This low-burn war in Afghanistan is already three years older than World War II, yet I see no value in further investment.

One day, Sir, I will be coming to you for an endorsement on behalf of one or both of my children when they apply to the Air Force Academy or West Point. Yet how can I send my blood and treasure to my government when I see no point in what my country is doing overseas?

I urge you to vote against further funding earmarked for the Afghanistan war, unless we do it right: overwhelming force, clear objectives, lasting impact, tangible results. But after eight years, and with this new President, I doubt we have the courage.

Best regards,

Charles Johnson Revealed!

Time for this one again.....

Who's John Ashcroft, again?

Terrorist....



" The pharmacy college graduate student charged with plotting to kill U.S. soldiers in Iraq and shoppers in American malls was thwarted -- along with two other co-conspirators -- when he was unable to get into terror camps for training and failed to get access to automatic weapons.

Tarek Mehanna, 27, of Sudbury, Mass., got rebellious in court Wednesday, refusing to stand for the judge and at one point throwing his chair.

FBI officials said Mehanna worked with others from 2001 to May of 2008 in a conspiracy to "kill, kidnap, main or injure" people in foreign countries, and to kill prominent U.S. politicians. Terror plots to attack U.S. shopping malls and U.S. military in Iraq were also in the works, officials said..."

Americans have collective A.D.D.

The reason these plots to kill Americans, in America, keep getting foiled is precisely due to the Patriot Act and FISA. Remember those? Remember all the sniping and shrieking coming from the left a few years ago , about how John Ashcroft and Shrub von HitlerBurton were going to round us all up and have us work for the Illuminati? Remember when Code Pink, and the ACLU called Ashcroft the terrorist?

Well, here we are only a few short years later actually applying the tools to catch real ISLAMIC terrorists in our country, but no one wants to look in the rear view mirror of 9/11 and recognize those who made this work successful. Specifically, John Ashcroft put into place administrative weapons that are now bearing fruit, and we should be thanking him.

Patriot...

Little Green Footballs hates Beck/Loves his advertising $$'s

Here is Charles Johnson's attack post on Glen Beck:

Wehner: Glenn Beck Harms the Conservative Movement

Opinion | Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 1:16:42 pm PDT

Commentary’s Peter Wehner agrees with me: Glenn Beck: Harmful to the Conservative Movement.

...and right next to Charles' headline, is an ad that Beck's publishing company paid for on LGF

Football derails Train. The Iron fist of Tolerance at LGF

Little Green Footballs en route to its destination of profound mediocrity:



I remember when Charles Johnson over at LGF (Little Green Footballs) performed some very valuable work. The photo-shopped Iranian missiles, the phot-shopped Israel-Hezbollah war, the Palestinian ambulance incident (my personal favorite), Green Helmet Guy and many more. LGF did great work, (although not the first) on busting Mike Wallace on the bogus Bush national guard letter, which supposedly de-famed Bush's NG service.

All good things.

Like many good things, they are coming to the end. And in Charles Johnson's case, a very schizophrenic and addle-pated end, as his relevancy evaporates into the mid-day sun.

Obsessed with even the slightest mirage-like vapor of anything even resembling racism, Charles now goes berserk. Chat-room fights among his own readers and himself, insulting the Tea Party groups as 'fringe' and 'lunatics', and lately referring to Rush Limbaugh as a race-baiter. I guess Charles doesn't listen to JC Watts (a black man) when he fills in for Rush. Is Rush 'race-baiting', in between singing the praises of America's greatest conservative jurist; (Clarence Thomas)?

Asking this very question of CJ, in a pointed manner to the LGF board, my comment was promptly deleted and my account canceled. Ok, no big deal. It's his site. But what is sad is to witness is the intellectual laziness. He didn't even listen to Rush. I rarely listen to Rush, yet it was clear as day that he was being facetious and ironic in the monologue that the newly self-proclaimed racism Czar
Charles Johnson declared as 'race-baiting' and 'disgusting'. Well Charles, that's your opinion. Wrong, slack-minded, but an opinion nonetheless.

And even more bizarrely, Charles declared the recession as having 'bottomed out'. What? 13% unemployment in California alone with another year of job losses predicted, and he says 'bottomed out'?.

Adios, Charles. I think the pointy end of your little green ball his smacked you in the temple.

Peace and Love at 1600 Penn. Ave.

Obama invited Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Cambridge, Mass., police Sgt. James Crowley to join him for a beer in hopes of quieting the furor over the president's comment that in taking Gates into custody police had "acted stupidly."

The only stupid person here is our Magic President. He told us during the coronation...er...campaign..that he 'would not focus on color', that we had 'moved beyond the politics of race'.

What a moron. Hey dummy, when you're in a hole, stop digging.
