Already charging discrimination, and there haven't even been any arrests yet: "Muslims connected to the Fremont mosque are also concerned that the planned arrests may be supported by flimsy evidence."
"Feds May Move On Local Mosques: A new FBI case against terror suspects could be set to rock the Bay Area," by Najeeb Hasan in Metroactive:
After 23-year-old Lodi resident Hamid Hayat was convicted last year of training at a terrorist camp in Pakistan, government officials warned that terror investigations in Northern California were ongoing.Now, members of the Bay Area's Muslim community believe that the FBI is close to making additional high-profile arrests of one or more terror suspects who frequent mosques in Silicon Valley and the East Bay. According to a source informed about the investigation, one of the organizations targeted in the Bay Area terror probe is the Tablighi Jamaat, a conservative-leaning Muslim organization, founded in India during the 1920s, that boasts world-wide membership and whose primary focus is to persuade Muslims to recommit to their faith.
Last October, a South African Muslim scholar associated with the Tablighi Jamaat, Fazlur Rahman Azmi, was denied entry to the United States and detained at San Francisco International Airport by agents from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Azmi, who had successfully entered the United States to preach in both 1999 and earlier in 2006, was planning on teaching at various American mosques during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Nawaz Khan, a resident of Newark, Calif., and one of Azmi's students, had arranged for Azmi to lecture at the Islamic Society of the East Bay in Fremont, one of the Bay Area's largest and most diverse mosques.
Muslims are concerned that the ongoing terror probe in the East Bay is related to Azmi's planned visit to the Fremont mosque.
A spokesperson said the FBI could neither confirm or deny the existence of such an investigation.
"There is of course not a lot I can say," says FBI public information officer Joseph Schadler. "I did want to make clear that we don't target mosques for investigation. We begin and end an investigation if they pose a threat based on credible information."
Muslims connected to the Fremont mosque are also concerned that the planned arrests may be supported by flimsy evidence. One critic with ties to law enforcement agrees that current terror investigations can be motivated not by strong evidence, but by pressure on America's counter-terrorism agencies to produce results.

....Christians in Muslim lands are concerned that planned assassinations will be carried out against them... just because they are Christians...
Im shocked. A mosque with a possible connection to terrorism? No way!
". . .not by strong evidence . . . "
That is why it is investigated, dammit. Investigations are conducted to verify if the evidence leads to something. If you smell smoke, you look for a fire.

They have a mole inside the Department and they are boasting of it.
"They have a mole inside the Department and they are boasting of it"
I don't think that's it.
Due to Muslim sensitivities, the local CAIR chapter probably requested that they be notified prior to any raids. Wouldn't want to hurt their feelings now would we?

Evidence?
If a carbon-based life form bends in worship to the fiend muhammad, that's all the evidence you need that said life form is morally deviant.
Case closed.
Fazlur Rahman Azim is also associated with "Jamiatul Ulema Transvall",
"The Jamiatul Ulama Transvaal has been criticised for its largely apolitical stance during the apartheid era. [5] The organization, unlike its counterpart in KwaZulu-Natal, the Jamiatul Ulama KwaZulu-Natal was accused by more activist ulema at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of not speaking out against the tricameral system, which denied black South Africans political power, while giving limited rights to Coloureds and Indians. [6].

Radio Islam
The organization owns and manages a community radio station called Radio Islam that broadcasts on the Witwatersrand. A complaint was made by a progressive Muslim organization to the Independent Broadcasting Authority in 1998 that the radio station was not allowing women to be heard on air. The station argued that Islam does not allow women's voices to be heard. The authority ruled against the station, and in response, the station collected a petition of 28 000 names from women, who it claimed, supported the decision to bar women from the airwaves.....
Muhammad cartoons controversy
The organization again made headlines in 2006 when it obtained an interdict against several South African newspaper companies in the Johannesburg High Court against the republishing of cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad. See: Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy. This case raised important questions about the limits of freedom of expression in South Africa "
.....this organization still treats women in the typical Muslim tradition, this organization carried violent speeches against the postings of the Muhammad cartoons, and this organization does not support the rights of black South Africans....This organization sympathizes with the violent Jihad....
....it is because of Fazlur Rahman Azims association with such organizations that he is on the terror watch list and it is these associations that he is not allow into the country...
...We should be banning Muslim Immigration....
"According to a source informed about the investigation"
So the govenment can't keep the fact that there is an investigation into a mosque under way a secret, but they can keep the wiring and demolition of 3 large buildings in New York a secret?
Boggles the mind.
...care to guess what is in Silicon Valley besides Muslims?....
There is a reason they are picking these terrorists up and a reason they leave other terrorists at large.
I just want to know, why can they come her and build mosque but we cannot go on "their holi land?"

Property can be seized if connected with a criminal offense.
Why aren't mosques associated with criminal offesnes being seized and put up for auction?
...and why is it so hard for our troops to get permission to destroy a mosque from which the Muslims are firing RPGs into our soldiers.....
I do not consider them a religion but a CULT! Just as I do not believe in the devil but I believe he exist and excuse me oh, sir for not typing in a key! Holi-land like Happy holi-days!
To LAW Enforcement in this case:
What took so long? Why are you telegraphing them your intentions?
The enemy will move its incriminating evidence long before you can seize it.
What kind of Law Enforcement is this anyway?
And why do we let these moskbuilders do whatever they want here when we aren't alowed to build churches and synagogues in their lands? When they burn churches and cut the heads off 9yo Christian girls? See Indonesia/Malaysia.
I know this sounds tough and noone wants to deal with it - but deal with it we MUST.
This is the enemy we face.
PLEASE, Law enforcement.. do this with a bit of stealth from now on. Let's catch a few of them in the act so we can deport them. I'd prefer dispatching them but that would be asking too much in today's political climate.
Ban muslim immigration to the USA.
That is all.

.....in some areas of the US, houses seized from drug dealers are bulldozed to the ground.....
.....The Mosques (dealing in death) are worst than the drug dealers houses and should,likewise, be leveled...
You should see the so called mosque here. They are in the low life of town! Porno-XXXrated! Mosque where no one would even go to attend church!
