CA: Oakland police raid Black Muslim bakery and homes, seize guns, detain nearly 20
Mercury News ^ | 8/3/07 | Media News

Posted on 08/03/2007 10:20:02 AM PDT by NormsRevenge

Scores of heavily armed police raided the Your Black Muslim Bakery in North Oakland and houses associated with the business early today seeking suspects and evidence in killings, shootings, robberies and a kidnapping, authorities said.

Almost 20 people - including Yusuf Bey IV, the head of the organization - were detained for questioning and several guns were recovered at the bakery in the 5800 block of San Pablo Avenue.

No one was hurt in the raids, which began at 5 a.m.

Police said they have arrest warrants for several men with ties to the organization but were still trying to determine if they were among those detained.

Police would not give specific details about the cases they believe are linked to the people associated with the bakery, but did say some of the alleged crimes were committed last year and earlier this year.

Authorities said at this point, there is nothing to connect bakery employees to the ambush murder Thursday of Oakland Post editor Chauncey Bailey, who was known to be working on a story about the organization.

THAT particular crime, of course, was committed by the Scandinavian Protestants down the street.

I should be O.K. We can always pick up something from the Your Islamic Terrorist Ice Cream Shoppe.

Hey, get it right. It's now called the Ye Olde Islamic Terrorist Ice Cream Shoppe.

Got to wonder why they mentioned it then. They should probably point out that there's no link to the disappearence of the Lindbergh baby either.

Reminds me of the scene in Dirty Harry when the cops raided Big Ed Mustapha’s place.

Oh maaaaaan ... now you've planted it in my head and I'll have to dig out our copy of the movie and watch Clint threaten to blow somebody's head "clean off." YOUR FAULT!!!

The guys are followers of elijah muhammad. One of the founders of the nation of islam. They should have raided this place years ago IMO.

Yep, and he is trying make his mark as a Green AG. Apparently behind the scenes, he putting holds on many major construction or retrofits re oil refineries and real energy sources not the Green smoking pipe dreams.

Yup, a real shock.

Once again. I AM SHOCKED!!! TRULY AMAZED that such peaceful followers of the peaceful religion could EVER conceive of such violence!!

It must be OUR fault. Maybe we did something to offend THEM - like being born.

Ah, heck, that's okay. My husband and I got on Dirty Harry binges at least a couple times a year. My husband's favorite line is in the one where he reminds the bad guy robbing the Chinese Restaurant that he forgot to read his fortune cookie. Clint unfurls the slip of paper and reports:

"It says you're sh*t out of luck." BLAM BLAM!!!

I wonder how long a bakery with the name of ‘Your White Christian Bakery’ would last before it would be forced to close by the ACLU or some ‘Hate’ crime law?

The best part is one of their other locations:

Outlet #11
Oakland Airport Terminal #2
Oakland,CA
(510)639-7490

Inside the airport security gates. DHS is right on top of things...

Because they hadn't done the forensics yet. It's Official: Muslims Murdered Chauncey Bailey(Oakland,CA)

OAKLAND -- Police said Friday "firearm evidence" confiscated during a series of early morning raids, including one at a bakery linked to a black Muslim group, was connected to the slaying of Oakland journalist Chauncey Bailey. Oakland Deputy Police Chief Howard Jordan said that while the department had been involved in a long-term investigation of the group tied to Your Black Muslim Bakery, new firearm evidence turned up by a series of raids Friday at the bakery and several residences of individuals linked to the black Muslim group now firmly links the shooting death of Bailey as well as another fatal shooting to the group. . . .
