FBI Makes Arrests in Midwest Raids

I don’t know the details, but there is another article up on the Detroit Free Press that gives a bit more detail, here.

There may be some kind of a CAIR link, not to the alleged militia group(s), but serving as FBI informant(s) about the alleged militia. The operative word here is “may;” I don’t have nearly enough information yet to draw my own tentative conclusion, let alone to be passing it on — but there are some good ‘diggers’ on this site (so start digging).

According to one report (might’ve been linked from Drudge), a Muslim militia member in Michigan claimed he received a call for help from another militia-group leader but that he did not comply with the request; then a statement was issued by CAIR, ostensibly to reassure Muslims and urge them to “keep practicing their faith,” ie, ‘in spite of the (alleged) threats.’

I have a problem with any such scenario: A practicing Muslim would not join a Christian militia (according to the FBI report, this or these militia orgs is/are Christian), and a converted Muslim would not likely report Christian activities he’s part of to an Islamist outfit. Something just doesn’t make sense.

Any CAIR connection is troubling, no matter their protestations and pretenses – that organization is very much pro-Islamist, dedicated to seeing “the Koran replac(ing) the Constitution,” and “Sharia as the only law in America;” (see any Daniel Pipes material on CAIR). As CAIR head Ibrahim Hooper put it, “Islam does not seek to be equal to every religion, but to be the only religion.”

These raids, incidentally, seem to have been a joint FBI-AFT-Homeland Security operation. Can anyone say “Janet Napolitano thinks the biggest terrorism threat is from Christians, the American Right, and former military service members?”

and the entire middle class of the US.

This is a warning shot across the bow of the tea parties to tell the average Joe not to join a tea party or risk being labeled a right-wing militia member and having his home raided.

Napolitano did issue that report spring a year ago that our biggest terrorist threat is military veterans, anti-abortionists, and evangelical Christians. They have been champing at the bit to find right-wing militias ever since McVeigh and Oklahoma City. Don’t you see the blogs and “news” articles that ALWAYS mention McVeigh, so they can “balance” reports on Muslim jihadists?

The left, stupidly, doesn’t fear the jihadists, looking at them as allies against Israel and the West. But “Christian militias,” they are a real threat to the thugs in DC and their fascist party in Congress.

who these supposed militias are and to call them “Christian” is a pejorative in itself today. Academics call people of faith “Christianists,” like jihadists. Would you prefer they call them right-wing extremist militias? That’s the default setting.

But the US is 78% Christian, according to church membership. It should be self defeating for the left to attack Christians, because if they voted en banc, they could elect a monolithic political party across the entire nation. That hasn’t stopped Sears and Target from trying to eliminate “Merry Christmas” as store greetings each season until they are embarrassed into a retreat.

The left wants to demonize the “average” American, scare such away from pol. involvement, and opposing little o and his henchmen in DC.

If you don’t see the media spin behind these raids, you must think they are also after Atheist militias or Shi’ite militias, the latter of which really exist.
