Radical Islam In Detroit

Today, a radical Islamic cleric was killed in a shootout with FBI agents serving a search warrant. No, it was not in Baghdad. Nor Kabul. Certainly not Kandahar. It was in Detroit, Michigan.
Luqman Ameen Abdullah was killed in the shootout in Dearborn, a Detroit suburb with one of the largest Arab populations outside of the Middle East. Oh, but Mr. Abdullah was not Arab but a Black American. And, is brand of radical Islam is American born and bred according to an Islamic prison chaplain.
According to Jimmy Jones, a professor of world religions at Manhattanville College and a longtime Islamic prison chaplain, "They're not taking their cues from overseas. This group is very much American born and bred."
That is what makes this disturbing.
While the Department of Homeland Security was busy warning us of those dreaded, eeevvviiilll, right-wing militia types, we are seeing radical Islam right under our noses.
Here is a little bit of the "theology" of Mr. Abdullah.
Abdullah preaches that every Muslim should have a weapon, and should not be scared to use their weapon when needed.
The group believes that a separate Islamic state in the U.S. would be controlled by Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown.
Beautiful!
Mr. Abdullah, also known as Christopher Thomas, was busy recruiting converts to radical Islam in the prison system. And there were at least a couple of dozen mosques under the control of the group Mr. Abdullah/Thomas led, known as Ummah.
Amazingly, none of the charges against Mr. Abdullah/Thomas included terrorism.
I know, Mr. Abdullah/Thomas must not have been right-wing enough for the Department of Homeland Security.
What this should be, but will not be, is a wake up call.
The real threat from within is not at the hands of fringe, right-wing kooks. It is at the hands of radical Islamics. Whether they are from abroad or homegrown. The threat is still there and we must be vigilant against radical Islam.
I think that the Department of Homeland Security ought to update their infamous report to include radical Islamics from within.
