6 American Muslims (Including 2 Imams) Charged with Aiding Jihad/Taliban “providing material support to a conspiracy to murder, maim and kidnap persons overseas, as well as conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization”

Six American Muslims were charged with jihad. One of those Muslims arrested, a Miami Imam, "sent children from the madrassa to learn to kill Americans in Afghanistan."

What were these two imams teaching and preaching in these mosques?

Hamas-tied CAIR is desperately seeking to stop law enforcement from investigating jihad in the mosques.

US charges six with aiding Pakistani Taliban — Yahoo! News (thanks to Choi)

WASHINGTON (AFP) – US officials arrested three Pakistani Americans including two imams Saturday, charging them and three others with providing or seeking to provide "material support" to the Pakistani Taliban, the Justice Department said.

The defendants, five men and one woman, "are charged with conspiring to provide, and providing, material support to a conspiracy to murder, maim and kidnap persons overseas, as well as conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, specifically, the Pakistani Taliban," the department said in a statement.

Three of the defendants, including a 76-year-old imam of a Miami mosque, "are also charged with providing material support to the Pakistani Taliban," namely the transfer of funds to finance the group, which Washington lists as a terror organization.

At least five of the defendants are members of the same family.

The two men arrested in Florida, identified as US nationals Hafiz Khan, the imam and family patriarch, and his son Izhar Khan, 24, also an imam at a separate Florida mosque, are due to appear in federal court in Miami on Monday.

A second son, Irfan Khan, was arrested in Los Angeles. Three others, including Khan's daughter and her son, are at large in Pakistan.

Each face up to 15 years in prison per count.

The Justice Department, clearly wary of the sensitivities of linking religious figures to terror groups, repeatedly made clear in its statement that the indictment does not charge or accuse the mosques of wrongdoing, and that the defendants have been charged based on their role in providing "material support to terrorism," and not on their religious beliefs or teachings.

"Despite being an imam, or spiritual leader, Hafiz Khan was by no means a man of peace," US Attorney Wifredo Ferrer said in announcing the indictment.

"Instead, as today's charges show, he acted with others to support terrorists to further acts of murder, kidnapping and maiming. But for law enforcement intervention, these defendants would have continued to transfer funds to Pakistan to finance the Pakistani Taliban, including its purchase of guns," he said.

The five men and one woman were accused of using an elaborate system of bank accounts and wire transfers to send funding from the United States to Pakistan, in part to sustain militants and their families.

The indictment also alleges that the elder Khan supported the Taliban through a madrassa, or Islamic school, that he founded in the Swat region of Pakistan.

"Khan has allegedly… sent children from the madrassa to learn to kill Americans in Afghanistan," it said.

In July 2009, Khan and his son Irfan participated in a recorded conversation in which Khan "called for an attack on the Pakistani Assembly that would resemble the September 2008 suicide bombing of the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad," according to the Justice Department.

John Gillies, special agent in charge of the FBI's Miami office, said the arrests meant "terrorists have lost another funding source to use against innocent people and US interests.

"We will not allow this country to be used as a base for funding and recruiting terrorists," he said.

Listening to Geert’s Tennessee speech ought to mandatory for all police, lawyers, judges, federal agents, FBI, customs, border patrol, TSA, civil servants, and politicians. Weekly. And journalists too. Then we wouldn’t have this insane (in the separated-from-reality sense) scramble to pre-exonerate Muslims and Muslim institutions.
Hell, make listening to it mandatory to get a driver’s license, register to vote, or graduate.

Big Al “must dominate.” Someday, perhaps within 30 years, all of this will seem a primitive expression of a primitive belief system called Islam, and jihad will be seen as having similar cultural roots with clit-snipping in Egypt, where 90% of the women are neutered, sexually mutilated. (BTW-I don’t blame El-Sham of Egypt and the the GZ Mosque for marrying a Christian woman with a clit. Even El-Sham must have some respect for nature, though I doubt Iago Rauf could be that honest with himself re the Muslim Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval given to clit-sniping in Muslim Egypt.)
“The most authoritative Egyptian Muslim scholars continue to recommend genital mutilation. Writing on the web site IslamOnline, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi – the president of the International Association of Muslim Scholars – explains:
The most moderate opinion and the most likely one to be correct is in favor of practicing circumcision in the moderate Islamic way indicated in some of the Prophet’s hadiths – even though such hadiths are not confirmed to be authentic. It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a midwife: “Reduce the size of the clitoris but do not exceed the limit, for that is better for her health and is preferred by husbands.”-Spengler, Asia Times
What does it take to shock “liberals” and “progressives”?

Sure, but when it comes to priests molesting young boys, the church is where it all originated. At least that’s what those on the left always say. But with terrorists it’s different and the mosque is separate. Yeah right. I mean, they must really think we’re all ignorant! How many imam’s have to be arrested for links to terrorism to see the link here? Justice department..ha!

There really needs to be an investigation into who is allowing these scum in.
The Statue of Liberty welcomes: “huddled masses yearning to be free”. Not “bloodthirsty mobs, yearning to violently establish an Islamic khaliphate”.

I am so sick of this TOXIC “religion”. Islam needs to be banned and its followers need to leave this country. To all Muslims: your religions blows. You blow too.

The GREAT news is, this was on the front page of The Miami Herald! In the same edition, Carl Hiaasen has a splendid article ridiculing osama bin laden! Perhaps this means that the tide has turned, that mohammadans can no longer hide in the dark while they work against America.
