Detroit Imam says Abdullah killing 'pre-arranged' | |
2009-11-02 | |
![]() Over one thousand American Muslims gathered in the city of Detroit on Sunday to mourn the prayers leader. The service was held for Luqman Ameen Abdullah, Imam of the Masjid Al-Haqq after FBI agents shot him dead while trying to arrest him. The FBI charged Abdullah of being "the radical leader of a Sunni Islam group in Detroit who expressed hatred for government and endorsed violence." This is while his family, friends, and followers reject the charges with his mosque saying that the claim is "utterly preposterous". Abdullah's son says his murder was barbaric as police shot him several times. The FBI has said Imam Luqman resisted arrest and shot the police dog before being shot and killed. Speaking to Press TV on Sunday, Friday prayer leader of Masjid al-Islam Imam Abdul-Ali Musa said he had access to documents, which could prove that the killing was a pre-arranged scenario.
"Source number one [an informant] testifies that on many occasions he heard luqman Abdullah preaching that Islam should be spread through violent jihad and advocated violence against the government and against law enforcement," Imam Musa read from the indictment. "Abdullah told his followers that if the police was to take his weapon or tried to apprehend him, he will respond with violence and they will have to shoot him before they can arrest him," he added. Imam Musa described his killing as "an assassination by the federal government" adding that "this is to intimidate the Muslim community." "Muslims in America are under a lot of pressure...the Muslim centers, the community centers are full of government infiltrators, spies and saboteurs who try to break the back of this wonderful Islamic movement in North America," he explained. Meanwhile, the American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and Elections (AMT), a coalition of major national Islamic organizations, has called for an independent investigation into the incident. The coalition has also called on the FBI to refrain from linking the raid or the allegations against the suspects to the Muslim faith. | |

#6 Over one thousand American Muslims gathered in the city of Detroit on Sunday to mourn the prayers leader. I hope all those infiltrators, spies, and saboteurs have their names, photos, and planted GPS trackers on all their vehicles ;) |

#5 As I posted yesterday, most of these punks are prison converts to I-slam, just using it as an excuse to wage jihad against their perceived enemy, authority. Franklin D. Roosevelt Williams (lol) can change his name to Mohammad or Abdullah or whatever he wants, but he's still just a punk and so are those that defend them. |

#4 What I do not understnad is the lack of coverage on MSM, although I am not surprised. Imagine a fundy Christian leader was killed in a gun battle with police and the police found a lot of weapons. It would still lead the news. |
