Agency calls it part of 'criminal' probe
FBI agents yesterday raided a North Side residence known to many in the neighborhood and the Pittsburgh Islamic community as both an Islamic school and mosque.
The agency would say only that the search was in connection with a "criminal investigation" and wouldn't elaborate.
The raid began around noon when authorities shut down the intersection of Boyle and Hemlock streets, residents said. The activity centered around a three-story green house located in the 1300 block of Boyle Street. It is home to the Sankore Institute and Light of Age Mosque, which doubles as...

Must have got wind of some radical Islamic cells ready to act up.
Ties to the would-be Sears Tower bombers in FL??
late night bump to read in the morning (yawn!)
(Thanks for the post!)
Exactly. Hey, Moustafa, get a clue.
Snicker...Good old Harry Belafonte.
Must have.
It's still Muslim and therefore suspicious just like all of them.
Growing castor beans for ricin?
But this is a Mosque not a house of worship.
a mosque raises concerns for me.
What a busy week - first the Miami 7, now this? If another one happens we may have a pattern here. Could they be related?
When I first saw this on KDKA tonight at 11 pm, I thought of the upcoming AllStar Baseball Game to be played at PNC Park. This building is within walking distance of PNC...as both are located on Pittsburgh's North Shore. The report, by David Highfield, showed the house, the armed FBI agents, the group's spokeperson, but made no reference to the All Star Game, which I thought was rather odd, given the fact that security has to be the number one priority at the game. Hope more info on this come out...
That was my first thought.
Maybe, but my concern is the Major League Baseball All Star Game...the game is in a week, and this building is blocks away from PNC Park.

I wonder how many of the "members" learned their "faith" in prison.
Oh well, africanhyphenamerican muslims, nothing serious on their part, just whitey picking on the bros like they've been doing for 555 years.
Just saw the local TV news report on this story. They interviewed some of the neighbors, all of whom said there was nothing suspicious about them, they seemed like nice people, were trying to help the community, etc. etc.
Too bad they missed the biggest drug corner in Pittsburgh by a block! Could have killed two birds with one stone....
They were armed to teeth from my friend's comment while at work.
Nice people until they break out the bombs!
Really? Ever as one why Saudi doesn't have a "race problem"?
Hint: the AAAAArabs liked their slaves castrated.
The complaint states there also are outstanding warrants for Williams in other states, including one in Washington for failure to register as a sex offender. Police say they can't detain someone if other states don't want to pay the cost of extradition. ...Police were called to the mosque last week when a 4-year-old girl fell out an open third-floor bedroom window. Officers considered the fall an accident and the child is recovering. (ED: It appears to be a home/Mosque/school...)

The North Side -- just down the street from where I used to work.
Is this some arabic dialect? Translate please. Since you obviously didn't grasp my sarcastic comment, you probably won't understand that this is a sarcastic question.
My guess is all of them.
bttt
That's what I was thinking.
That's the ONLY thing that really makes sense. :-)
It was incredible the hatred and abundant ignorance shown and spoken by the blacks concerning politicians and government.
I was placed in a very small confined area with about thirty very questionable characters, and the hatred (toward this country) they displayed was off the charts. They had that "hate the man" mentality of the late 60's. I have much more info on that perilous sixteen hours....... but some other time.
Suffice it to say that there is a quickly growing group of mostly black 'repeaters' who have it out for America and will join up with the the Muslim lads in a heartbeat.
The prisons here in America are a breeding ground of real bad vibes.
"any time law enforcement officials raid a house of worship it raises concerns,"....at least they didn't burn it to the ground with 20 little kids inside.
Cue CAIR in 5, 4, 3, 2..........
"Innocent Muslims praying and sipping tea, when the brutal FBI trashed the holiest site in the Pittsburgh Caliphate"
In earlier times, it was also there, but suppressed to the outer fringes. After all, it WAS Booker T. Washington who coined the "poverty pimps/ race hustlers" terminology, using it to warn other blacks about them.
Mosque = Terrorist recruiting center and ammo dump
There are no greenhouses on Boyle St. in the central North Side of Pittsburgh. Glass just isn't that practical of a building material over there, in fact many of the property owners in that district prefer plywood as a material for their first floor windows.
It's undoubtably a green house, a brick house painted green or perhaps a house with green aluminum siding. Although probably the former as brick houses are more prevalent than frame houses in that part of town.
*sigh* I just tried to give you a VERY pointed question to ask someone who thinks of you as a 'white devil'.
Chump don't want the help, chump don't get the help < /Airplane!>
Thought you and the rest might enjoy these from B.T.W.:

* I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life, but by the obstacles which they have overcome while trying to succeed. Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
* Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company.
* Few things can help an individual more than to place responsibility on him, and to let him know that you trust him.
* I shall allow no man to belittle my soul by making me hate him.
* Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.
* There is no power on earth that can neutralize the influence of a high, simple and useful life.
* One man cannot hold another man down in the ditch without remaining down in the ditch with him.

And, I couldn't help adding this good one from Ben Franklin. I have put it on the front doors of my nursery sheds:

Thank you.
Maybe they're trying to emulate British intelligence looking for imaginary chemical vests...
What wonderful quotes; thanks for posting them.
Based on my experience CAIR has already mailed the Freedom of Information request.
Well PA was the missing link in that map, not suprised...
The Sankore Institute and the Nuurazamaan Mosque has been working with ex-cons and former gang members since 1990 all over the country.
We have been responsibile for reforming and helping to re-enter into society many people that were problesm to themselves their families and neighbors.
There was no justifiable reason for the FBI raid.
