From what I see, on this blog as well,...Salams all. From what I see, on this blog as well, White Supremacy is alive and well. If we had real Islam as an influence here, the race problem, as the late Malcolm X once said, would go away. I did not know Imam Luqman well, but I was briefly acquainted with him, at least he attended Arabic class at a Muslim college in the early 1980's. I think he was too intelligent to allow himself to be made a patsy of by the FBI,if that's what they were doing,but only Allah Knows what they were doing. If he was like Malcolm X, and fought only to protect his people, and not starting a conflict, and then was assassinated because the power structure couldn't use him...Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. I don't know the full circumstances of the shooting, though, and hope there is a full investigation.salpurdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007840677209149150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16711557.post-33596287592853980772009-11-10T19:13:54.615-05:002009-11-10T19:13:54.615-05:00I knew Imam Luqman. Back in the early '90'...I knew Imam Luqman. Back in the early '90's we had several conversations. I also visit his masjid (mosque) for an imam's meeting. The brother was never a violent person. Anybody who new him would agree. Imam Jamil, who was framed back in 2000 for the crime he was wrongly convicted for, was neither a violent man. He denounce his radical beliefs of his youth when he became a Muslim. Both of these men were devout Muslim imam's who led their respective communities in wisdom and peace. Never did Imam Jamil who was our National imam advocated any violence against America or anyone for that matter. The FBI is up to their old COINTELPRO tricks again! As they started by taking down the Garvey Movement in the 1920's and the Black Panthers (and others) in the 1960's, they are doing the same with the Islamic movement today. Since Imam Jamil established his Community Masjid in Atlanta, the government wanted to frame him for something. In 1995, a shooting happened across the street from the community. The police pressured the victim to accuse Imam Jamil of the shooting. Their plan backed fired. The victim not only exposed the police plan but he became a member of the Community masjid. The movement led which elected Imam Jamil as its national leader was once the DAR-UL-ISLAMIC MOVEMENT. The movement began in 1962. The movement had close ties to Malcolm X and probably influenced him to become a mainstream Muslim. By 1982, the movement split. A Pakistani Sufi Shaikh (Teacher) named Julani took over the leadership of the movement when the then national imam, Yahya Abdul Kareem took bayat (alliegence) to him. Those that resisted allegience to Shaikh Julani eventually chose to form another group and chosed Imam Jamil as the national imam. The group led by Imam Jamil was called "The National Community" After Imam Jamil was incarcerated the movement became known as "Al-Ummah" which is simply arabic for "the Community"<br />It is expected by us Muslims as in the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), that the government that seeks to continue to exploit and oppress the masses will try to distrupt, destroy, and discredit legitimate Islamic growth in this country and its worldwide revival. To repeat the disinformation in the articles present on your page is a disservice. Read and post the article from the "Michigan Citizen" Newspaper that have better and accurate information. Imam Luqman was a very good man. He loved his family, his community and most of all he was a sincere servant of his Lord, Allah.Justice 4 Jibrilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686210722088250440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16711557.post-85928023032659693562009-11-01T13:07:15.645-05:002009-11-01T13:07:15.645-05:00The comment before mine is a message of hate.

Where is the proof that supports the allegations. Why are these brothers being tried by public opinion and not a court of law. How many black men in American have been falsely accused and shot down because of lies. Oh every one is suppose believe the FBI's allegations because they are so truthful. Remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Imam Warith D. Mohammed, Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Marcus Garvey to name a few.Ummadamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335575377425976485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16711557.post-92000249701434509462009-10-29T08:40:43.187-04:002009-10-29T08:40:43.187-04:00Radical Islamists who preach violence ought to be ...Radical Islamists who preach violence ought to be killed. This criminal Imam was one such Islamic radical who deserved the death penalty. It is regretable that the FBI canine could not be saved. <br /><br />This incident should serve as a lesson to potentially dangerous elements not to preach violence in the name of religion.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785294639353389761noreply@blogger.com
