Miami terrorists practice Islam-Judaism-Christianity mix
Were the 7 Miami terrorists arrested this week actually Muslims, or were they members of the Moorish Science Temple of America that blends Islam, Judaism and Christianity, and stresses self-discipline through martial arts? Or were they members of the Nation of Yahweh, which is a mixture of Nation of Islam teachings and black nationalism ?
Yahweh ben Yahweh, Hulon Mitchell Jr., is the leader of the Nation of Yahweh.
As Yahweh ben Yahweh he emphasized a mixture of racial supremacy and violent separatism. God was black and blacks would become powerful through him. He also emphasized whites as infidels and oppressors. Lastly he increasingly emphasized loyalty to him. He ultimately cultivated a loyalty extreme enough that members apparently pledged to kill his enemies.
His group took over a series of buildings in Miami. These buildings allowed for the level of black separatism he encouraged. He became the living messianic ruler in this culture. As ruler he is said to have been absolute and theocratic. Those who dissented could face beatings or, allegedly, death. source
Mitchell, Yahweh ben Yahweh, served prison time on a RICO conviction after he and several other Nation of Yahweh members were convicted of conspiracy in more than a dozen murders. He is currently out on parole but is restricted from any contact with former members, restricted from any form of speech by telephone, computer, radio or television that could place him in contact with a member of the Hebrew Israelite religion.
He was/is a self-proclaimed black messiah, who based his religion on a hatred of whites and urged his followers to murder "white devils" and bring him back body parts - a sliced-off ear or finger or head - as proof of the kill. The group claims members in 1300 U.S. cities and 16 foreign countries.
Batiste, a martial arts enthusiast, referred to his group as "soldiers" in an "Islamic army" that would wage a "full ground war" against the United States. ...
The Moorish Science Temple of America was founded in 1913 as a sect of Islam but incorporates teachings from Judaism and Christianity, said Aminah Beverly McCloud, a professor of religious studies at DePaul University in Chicago who has written about the group.
Moorish Temple members say they trace their ancestry to Morocco and often wear fezzes and use the titles "Bey" or "El." According to the indictment, suspect Lyglenson Lemorin used the alias "Brother Levi-El."
Adherents pray two or three times a day facing east and follow prayers and religious instructions from a book titled Holy Koran of the Moorish Science Temple of America, ... source
Nasir Baptiste is the leader of the terror cell "Seas of David" in Miami, which reportedly has 40 - 50 members and has existed for approximately one year. Baptiste's godmother said that he was a "construction worker and martial arts expert and also sold soap and shampoo on street corners". It should be noted here that the Nation of Yahweh group members also sold soap and shampoo to raise money. A coincidence perhaps, but interesting.
The Nation of Yahweh members, specifically the leder Mitchell, wore white robes and turbans. Nasir Baptiste's neighbors say he walked around wearing a robe and turban and carried a cane. Baptiste is 32 years old. Members of Baptiste's group were also known for wearing turbans and also full head/face wraps, in the Arab style, according to neighbors. A strange brew, this group.
Florida claims connections to many terrorists, including:
As many as 14 of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers, including ringleader Mohamed Atta, lived in Broward County in the weeks before the hijacking.
Jose Padilla, who was arrested in Chicago in 2002 amid accusations that he had planned to detonate a radioactive ''dirty bomb'' on American soil, attended a mosque in Broward County in the early 1990s.
Adnan El Shukrijumah, a former Broward Community College student of Saudi descent, is still the subject of a global manhunt due to his alleged ties to al Qaeda. Adnan El Shukrijumah disappeared from South Florida weeks before the 9/11 attacks. source
It is also interesting to note that Adnan El Shukrijumah also has ties to McMaster University in Canada, which has links to the recent 17 terror arrests there. He is still on the FBI's top ten terror wanted list.
Whatever form of religion this group claims to be affiliated with, the government officials were wrong when they said, "Religion has nothihng to do with these terrorists". Whether it be 'radical' Islam, Nation of Yahweh, or Moorish Science Temple of America, ... each of these teach hatred for Americans, specifically white Americans.

Flopping Aces, "Florida 7":
Whether they are full blown fanatical Muslim’s or some other religion matters not. They were planning attacks on our Nation, they bred hatred for other races and this country and the Government was right in stepping in quickly to put an end to it all. (MORE)

Yes, patd95, I have gotten to the point I can't STAND to watch Hannity and Colmes, or Geraldo, or Julie Bandaras (sp?), or some others like Greta Van Susteren (sp?)...
No news, just gagging blather, with has been panels of "experts", assuming and predicting...
A waste of my time. But I usually keep Fox News on, muted, so if anything important happens I don't miss it.

Looks like the only mixing these fellas were doing were rocks and blounts - that GD Alan Colmes on Hannity tonight asked Bob Graham (D-FL) why do we have troops overseas when we should be uncovering cells like this in the US. Guess what, Alan, we found a cell and we are doing both. SOB - Hannity ain't a genius, so I guess Colmes has to try and catch up to say something intelligent. Nice try, hippie!
