£250,000 for Kate Moss 'investigation'

The week starts here...
 
And so begins the Black (born again Muslim) insurgency within the US which I have predicted for a couple of years now.

Although it did kinda start with the Sniper Shootings in the Washington Area.
 
The "Nation of Islam" has nothing to see with Islam.
It is a racist political and "typical US" organisation that borrowed some quotes from the Bible and from Al Qur'an (maybe from some other relgious books too and probably most of their members have no clue where what comes from originally) and in addition they invent their own "interpretations" to all that too.

As far as I know they are - among others - convinced the "white race" is the product of a laboratory experiment and somewhere in space there is a spaceship waiting to come and collect the NOI members.

salaam.

Yes, they are Apostates as they view Elijah Mohammed as a Prophet.
 
Not apostates since they are not "Muslim" but in their own deluded minds.
Aside from all that (and as far as I am informed) they did/do some good work too when "recruting" people who live "at the edge" of society (and for example in prisons), but the same can be said of Christians who are that convincing to non- believers that they drop drug and alcohol abuse (the same can be said from the AA too.)

I just don't see any reason why on earth this US organisation was so compelled to use the word "Islam" in its name. But then, "islam" isn't a registred TM so I suppose (especially in US mindset) anyone can use it and abuse it freely.


salaam.

Well spotted laptop!

Yes, two posts in the whole week, one by accident, the second an apology for the accidental posting.

Have you ever thought of becoming a traffic warden? :p

So it's not quite as simple as you imply for any wannabee terrorist to "take it to the next level".

That McVeigh dude didn't look like the sharpest tack in the drawer to me.

I love the idea of an "accidental posting".

Like "accidently writing a letter".

Or "accidently playing a tune".

:D

But I don't think it's fair to demand another whole pound of flesh.

:)

Woof
 
Trouble is, the response is like Jazzz'z attitude to "facts" in general - "oh, it was only a little bit false!"
 
Juan Cole on the arrests:
I just saw the spokesman for the Council on American Islamic Relations on CNN saying that the Miami cult members just arrested are not Muslims. I'd say that is a fair statement.

For one thing, they are vegetarians!

It seems pretty obvious that they are just a local African-American cult which mixed Judaism, Christianity and (a little bit of) Islam. It seems to be a of vague offshoot of the Moors group founded by Dwight York. I heard on CNN that one of them talked of being Moors. And Batiste, the leader, called whites "devils" in the tradition of the original Nation of Islam and York's Moors. Now CNN is saying one member said they practiced witchcraft [likely meaning Haitian voodoo or perhaps Santeria-like rituals]. One former member is called Levi-El, suggesting he might be associated with the Black Hebrew movement or an offshoot. Now a relative of one of the members, Phanor, said that they wore black uniforms with a star of David arm patch and considered themselves of the Order of Melchizadek. I wonder if it is "Seas of David" or "C's of David", with "c" meaning commando or some such?

...

This Seas of David group primarily seems to have been studying the Bible. The mother of one insisted that he is a Catholic. Then there is all that Jewish symbology and terminology, even in their names. Islam was nothing more for them but a set of symbols they could pull into their syncretic local culture. The group drew on poor Haitian immigrants and local indigent African-American youth. If this were the 1960s, they'd have been Black Panthers or Communists.

American folk religion, pursued in small groups with charismatic leaders, is replete with such groups, from Father Divine to Jim Jones of the People's Temple to David Koreish.

People have been doing the same with the word 'christian' for centuries.

Ah, another irrelevancy introduced courtesy of the Canuck.

The point is that manufacturing an ANFO bomb isn't as simple as assembling "...some bags of fertilizer, a few gallons of gas, and a delivery truck", which you saw fit to imply.
The reality is that the process is more complex, and that one needs to know what one is doing (and have a relatively secluded place to do it) rather than having to be a "sharp tack" or even an industrial chemist to carry the process out.

Nice attempt at distracting attention from your inane comment though. Pity it didn't work.
 
And lo! the Chicago Sun-Times:

The father of the former Chicagoan accused of plotting to blow up the Sears Tower remembers his son, Narseal Batiste, coming under the spell of a man who wore a black robe and walked with a black staff.

"We went to dinner with this old guy in Chicago about six years ago," said the Rev. Narcisse Batiste, a nondenominational Christian pastor. "He was teaching Narseal the Holy Quran bible.
...
But an acquaintance of Narseal Batiste told the Miami Herald that Batiste and his six co-defendants followed the religious teachings of the Moorish Science Temple of America.

Religion experts were puzzled, saying the group is not known for advocating violence.

So Dad's a preacher-man and somewhat theologically confused (my underlining). Son's gone one better.

If true, this lot resemble the conspiraloons more than they do any religion with history.

woof jessiedog!

Try not posting for a week, and you'll understand!

It goes something like - first couple days - hah, who needs urban75, this is easy. Next day - maybe I'll just browse a thread or two. Next day - let's just browse a thread again. Only this time you forget you have exiled yourself, and 'accidentally' reply to a post :D

well they are christians, so the black muslim angle is not worth debating.

around 4:53mins --
"why do you call yourselves[refering to the Seas of David members] soldiers"

"because we study and train through the bible"

and



neighbor claims of the Seas of David were a Christiain sect, they are not Muslim.

Ms Phanor, sister of Stanley Grant Phanor, one of those arrested, denied that her brother had any terror links.

"They're labelling him something that he's not," she told Miami's WSVN TV station. "He's... no terrorist; he's in a religious group that's trying to support the community."

"It's all a show, they're scaring people, there's nothing to be scared at all," Ms Phanor told the AFP news agency


"There's less than meets the eye here," said his public defender Jimmy Hardy. "The only al Qaeda person was the undercover guy."

Undercover agent being al-qaeda person. NOOOOOOO. i just dont believe it
 
I'm inclined to agree with Aldebaran on this one.

I looked into the Moorish Science Temple of America.

Moorish Science was established in 1913 by a man who was born with the name Timothy Drew. Moorish Science may have the distinction of being the only religion ever to be founded in Newark, NJ. Similar to Christian Science, Moorish Science has nothing to do with science, although it does have a lot to do with Moorishness.

I wonder how many other such cults exist in the United States - how many more of their citizens are this disenchanted with the American way of life?

I would estimate thousands, though the definition is a bit porous.

Free market ideology + religion = all conceivable theological niches filled.

There are parts of Black neighbourhoods in the cities where every couple of blocks there's a storefront church that's separate from all others. Some are nuttier than others. The sects with White congregations are generally larger, more centralised and richer.
 
No wonder that the government want to keep tabs on their citizens.

It must be difficult, especially where there is no clear line between "terrorism" and "treason". If you define terrorism as coming from outside your country, then these people are not terrorists. If you define terrorism as coming from a specific religion, then they are terrorists.

I really hope that they don't give the illusion that they are basing on religion.

But my point is that McVeigh, not too sharp a guy, managed to do just that. I'm assuming, of course, that you know who he is.

And your point is still irrelevant to your specious claim that "...all they'd need to take it to the next level, are some bags of fertilizer, a few gallons of gas, and a delivery truck", a claim that is wildly inaccurate.

Whatever irrelevancies you care to introduce (and most people know you're a past-master at doing so), the fact that you were talking bollocks doesn't change.

Partly a function of US history as well - in truth there are few places where one is as free to found and practice a faith as one sees fit as in the US.

This lot just sound like another bunch of random nutters in the tradition of McVeigh, Unabomber, serial killers etc etc...
 
If I read this correctly you state that *because* they happen to be *not Muslim* they can't possibly be dangerous or in any case they must be "nutters"?

I wonder how you come to this rapid conclusion.

salaam.

I interpreted the post differently. I read kyser_soze's and other similar posts as criticizing the Americans and their way of thinking/acting.

imo of course.
