Washington's Imam Musa: FBI assassinated Luqman Ameen Abdullah to intimidate the Black American Muslim community
http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=110236

The following is the transcript of a Press TV interview with US Muslim activist and director of Masjid Al-Islam in Washington, DC, Imam Abdul Alim Musa, on the recent killing of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah by US federal agents during an alleged shootout in Detroit.

Over one thousand American Muslims gathered in the city of Detroit on Saturday to mourn the prayers leader who was shot several times by the FBI in an apparent attempt to arrest him.

As well as giving a new angle into what actually occurred, Imam Musa's intriguing comments can also provide an insight into the current atmosphere of the American Muslim community and the US establishment's attitude toward Islam in general.

Q. The FBI has said that Imam Luqman resisted arrest and shot the police dog before being killed. Do you have any other information on what took place?

A. I am now reading what I have in my hand, the indictment from the United States court. This is about a 42-page indictment, and this indictment has information that was given to the federal government by certain informants. I want to read a portion of this document to give you an idea why we call the Imam Luqman killing an assassination by the FBI.

If you notice the government, in order to do something to you, they have to prearrange a scenario so that they do whatever crime that they want to commit. When they wanted to invade Iraq they said there were weapons of mass destruction. So, this is what they said. Although it wasn't true it justified the invasion.

I would like to read what source number one, who is an FBI informant, says about Imam Luqman. This is in December 2007. It says source number one testified that on many occasions he heard Luqman Abdullah preach that Islam should be spread through violent jihad and advocate violence against the government and against law enforcement.

Abdullah told his followers that if the police tried to take his weapon or tried to apprehend him he would respond with violence and they will have to shoot him before they can arrest him. Ok, this is a government informer giving the government the information that they want to justify using violent means against Imam Luqman.

So, what we are saying is that we refer to his killing as an assassination by the federal government. This is to intimidate the rest of the Muslim community. The Muslims in America are under a lot of pressure and the masjids, 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.

So what the government is doing by assassinating Imam Luqman is trying to intimidate the Muslim community, especially the black community. And I say that because the immigrant community, which is about half of the Muslims in the United States and the African American Muslim community, which form the other half, have different views about Islam in America and how it should be fostered.

The immigrant community has been frightened since the 9/11 terrorist attack and they practice the kind of American style Islam. Now, the killing of Imam Luqman is to intimidate us. But our message is different. We will not be intimidated by the United States government or by the FBI.

We all state clearly what Imam Luqman said on one occasion. I have from the same information something that source two, another government informer said about Imam Luqman. This is on December 12 2007. Source two told me he had been with Luqman Abdullah outside the masjid on that day and he was able to surreptitiously record their conversation.

S2 told Abdullah he had authority to donate five thousand dollars to pay to have someone do something during the 2006 super ball in Detroit.

Abdullah said he would not be involved in injuring innocent people for no reason. If there is something to be done it is going to be legitimate. This is what we are saying.

This is from the FBI's own records. They had sent an informer to donate five thousand dollars to have Imam Luqman do some terrorist type thing at the super ball, which was in Detroit in 2006. Imam Luqman, by sticking to his principles of Islam, said and this is recorded on page four of the FBI indictment, it says that Imam Luqman said he would not be involved in injuring innocent people for no reason.

You see, so, this is the principle that we all follow here in America. This is in their own FBI record. They knew, already, that Imam Luqman was not violence prone. They already knew that he would not do any harm to any citizen, by his own words, that was not legitimate and that we would not harm innocent people for no reason.

But when you listen to the television and the radio and all of the news they try to portray Imam Luqman and his group, and the larger group, al-Ummah [not Ummah, which is usually interpreted as the overall Muslim community] as violence prone; as wanting to establish an independent Islamic state in North America ruled by Sharia law and that Imam Jamil Abdullah Al Amin, which is the leader who is now in a super max prison up in Florence, Colorado would be its leader.

Q. Can you give us a little bit of information about this group, Ummah. Can you explain a little bit about it?

A. al-Ummah is led by Imam Jamil Abdullah Al Amin who was a great civil rights leader during the 1960s. He converted to Islam in 1972 and became a part of one of our great Islamic movements in North America called Dar al-Islam Movement.

When that movement broke up in about 1980 and 1981 Imam Jamil Al Amin inherited or kept together one section of that group. That group became known as al-Ummah or basically the community, and so, they have centers all around America, in Atlanta in Detroit, in many cities in Philadelphia, and other cities around the country.

It is mostly an African American organization and it believes in the principle of strong leadership, and so, the goal of this leadership, and I am telling you from experience; I have worked very closely with the brothers, we have been friends and associates for 25 or 30 years now; this group's goal is to spread Islam in America, not through violent means, but by what the Quran says - bring to the way of the lord through wisdom and preaching.

So their goal is to invite the American people to Islam through beautiful preaching, through Da'wa [Arabic for invitation], through Tabligh [Arabic for advertisement] through all the legitimate means, but the government in America is fearful of any group that has any Islamic organization with good strong leadership, especially if that leadership has ties to Muslims around the world, which Imam Jamil Al Amin does.

So the goal of the government is to destroy this group and to send the message to other African Americans that the federal government will not allow any unified, organized Islamic activities to be carried on inside of the United States of America. But we have a message for them. We will not be intimidated by the government of the United States of America.
 
We Must Master Or Be Reenslaved-!

To my good brother in Islam:

Wa Alaikem salaam...

Do know and understand it has always been your devotees continuing efforts to reeducate yourselves and/or attempts to reeducate our people which were and are your best attributes...

You and yours knew and know the world etc.

Contrast that with how so many others barely know of it--let alone don't truly understand or know the 'ways of (the) white folk' on this one continent/in this one nation...

Being as it is and remains one of the white world power centers:

We have yet to understand and know how to counteract its mass (madness) media machine(s)...

Ignorance is not 'bliss' in terms of knowing how it effect us and/or how even some among other aid its operations by the way of default...

Simply put:

What the likes of Fifty and suchlike don't know or understand much about hurts us too...

I. e., unlike past eras, more Bigger Thomas Juniors in the mix, and their backwardness ad naseum puts all of us at risk, whereas what the slain black muslim brother was about is both misunderstood as well as a bad reflection of a misinformation ploy, etc.

The short version:

What I or you actually lived thru, back in the day, has been and is being overlaid by establishment hyped pseudo racial/social/political mythology, ad naseum...

I. e., pride in one's african heritage etc. neither implies nor suggests mere hatred of others, etc., so the true source of everybody's grief etc. remains as it always was and is...

As in:

It ain't either devotees of Islam...

FYI...

Later...

Activists, family demand justice in death of imam slain by FBI

DETROIT, Mich. (FinalCall.com) - Activists continue to demand answers in the death of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah, the 53-year-old leader of Detroit's Masjid Al-Haqq gunned down by the FBI under suspicious circumstances.

Despite cold whipping winds, a spirited demonstration demanding an independent investigation into the shooting was held on Nov. 5 at the McNamara Federal Building. Supporters said the man described in the FBI's 43-page affidavit, and portrayed by the mainstream media as something of a Muslim mafia don, was not the man they knew and loved.

Filled with emotion, Omar Regan, Imam Abdullah's 34-year-old son, challenged the media to tell the truth about his father and challenged law enforcement to reflect on their own humanity.


“It's not right for them to set up traps and try to assassinate our character. It's not right for them to say my father, my brother and all of their friends were a danger to their community. They're not in the community! The community loves us!” shouted the young man who lived with Imam Jamil al-Amin for several years as a teenager. “There are people in the community now sad because of the loss of my father wondering if people are still going to be there to feed them, to give them clothes to take care of them. If they want to know about my father, go inside of the community and ask the community who he was!”

Some in the crowd began to shed tears listening to his heartfelt words.

“The man has 13 children and none of us have a criminal record!” said Mr. Regan. “I want to say to the people, even the ones who are holding the badges and holding the guns, why don't you do your research and stop looking at it is as just a job? Find out—if you truly have a heart—and stop trying to just earn a check and learn how to be decent human beings! That's what I learned from my father! How to care about people!”

The narrative delivered by the FBI is widely disputed.

Members of Masjid Al-Haqq said Imam Abdullah surrendered along with the others, and only fired on the FBI dog after the dog was specifically sent to attack him.Family members were told Imam Abdullah was handcuffed after being shot and left bleeding and dying, while the wounded FBI dog was taken via medical helicopter to a treatment center.Family members ask why officials chose not to take Imam Abdullah to the hospital after being shot, when they argue, the only reason to handcuff him would be if he were alive after being wounded.
