Imam arrested in a Pennsylvania mosque. From Philadelphia's WPVI.com, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
Members of the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force descended on a house and mosque this morning and arrested the Imam in front of his wife and children.Meriem Moumen says she and her husband were dropping their daughter off at school when they were surrounded by Philadelphia police, FBI and other federal agents.
They detained Mohamed Ghorub, the Imam of the Ansaar Allaah mosque in Bridesburg.
Many complain about the "use" of "immigration issues" to harass "law-abiding" Muslims. I thought they were immigration laws, not suggestions.
He was arrested a year ago, and released on bond which has now been revoked. The FBI says Immigration was the lead agency on today's raid.Immigration says the raid was initiated by the FBI. In the past, the FBI has used immigration issues to detain and question people indefinitely. Moumen says they asked her where they were hiding the guns and where do they get their money. She says they have nothing to hide.

It would be hard to imagine a Baptist minister being accused of the same thing. If your religious leaders are at the forefront of violence and mayhem, then there is a serious flaw in your religion. Time to consider alternatives.

Read up on the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. It was a lot more common than you might think. The Ku Klux Klan was full of ministers of all kinds of "Christian" faiths terrorizing black Americans becuase they wanted equality.
Yes, our country has its flaws, but at least the movement over time has been toward tolerance and equality...albeit with resistance...but here we are now arguing over gay marriage...now, imagine sharia...please, pull your head out of your ass.
Posted by: kirk at May 28, 2004 6:22 PMIt speaks volumes about Islam when it's civic leaders are arrested for supporting terrorism all the while they claim Islam has nothing to do with terrorism. Were not talking some fringe kook here put a pillar of that community.
Take Osama Bin Ladens right hand man from Egypt, he is considered one of the top experts on Islamic history in the world today. And look what he is doing.
To make historical comparisons on the above post, no klansman has exhibited as much hatred as Muslims have. Al Queda makes the KKK look Liberal.
What is really sad is the " Left " in general is symapathetic to such a hate movement when in the past it would have opposed such hatred and open calls for the elimination of an entire ethnic group, such as the Jews which are now in the cross hairs of the current Jihad.
