Wednesday’s raids came on the heels of the Oct. 19 indictment of a Colorado Imam, Ahmad Wais Afzali, for allegedly lying to federal agents about an alleged terror plot to bomb targets in New York City. Najibullah Zazi, of Aurora, Col., and his father, Mohammed Wali Zazi, were arrested in September in Denver in connection with the alleged plot.

The Dearborn shoot-out is especially jarring because 30 percent of the city’s population of 98,000 is Muslim and where many billboards, street signs and storefront signs are in Arabic. At a local high school where 80 percent of the students are Muslim, the principal allegedly punched a boy who had converted to Christianity and “disgraced his family.”

Coral Ridge Ministries recently sent cameras into Dearborn, capturing footage that’s part of the video Radical Islam on the March. Faisal Malick, an ex-Muslim featured in the documentary, says that militancy is increasing among Muslims who “believe the whole world should submit to Islam. When they come into the United States of America, they want to see Sharia law implemented, they want to dominate every place of influence—in education and technology and law, in government, in finances.”

Referring to Christians and Jews, Abdullah said in a taped conversation, “we have to cut the ties to them … you cannot please them until you follow their religion. Obama is a Kafir [dog]. McCain, all the rest of them … you cannot make a good Kafir, bad Kafir…The promise of Allah and Islam said, ‘… the worst Muslim is better than the best Kafir.’”

Since “Kafirs” are still in power, that means that Abdullah’s followers need not worry about legalities. Or, as H. Rap Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin Brown once said, “We did not make the laws in this country. We are neither morally nor legally confined to those laws.”

Yes, you are. It’s why you’re behind bars right now.
