Cops Link Black Muslim Group to Editor's Murder
Fox News ^ | August 03, 2007

Posted on 08/04/2007 7:45:08 AM PDT by 3AngelaD

OAKLAND, Calif. — Police said they recovered firearms linked to the slaying of an Oakland journalist during a series of early morning raids Friday targeting members of a Black Muslim splinter group that operates a chain of bakeries. Colleagues said Oakland Post editor Chauncey Bailey, 57, had been working on a story about Your Black Muslim Bakery before he was ambushed and slain Thursday morning....

Before dawn, officers raided the Muslim group's headquarters at the original bakery on San Pablo Avenue, as well as three houses in Oakland. They arrested seven people on charges including homicide, robbery and assault, including the son of the group's founder, but it was unclear if any of those charges were tied to Bailey's slaying.

"The search warrant yielded several weapons and other evidence of value including evidence linking the murder of Chauncey Bailey to members of the Your Black Muslim Bakery," said Assistant Police Chief Howard Jordan...

Your Black Muslim Bakery was founded in 1968 by the late Yusuf Bey as a haven for struggling urban families. It sells natural baked goods alongside books by Malcolm X...

Bailey was a longtime reporter for the Oakland Tribune before becoming editor of the Post, a weekly newspaper geared toward the Bay Area black community, earlier this year.

He had written stories for the Tribune about the bakery and its founder when Bey was facing rape charges in Alameda County...

Bey's son, Yusuf Bey IV, who was in custody Friday, took over the original bakery and several franchises. In 2005, he was accused by police of being the ringleader in a group of black Muslims who smashed liquor bottles in Oakland corner stores and berated the Muslim owners for selling alcohol to the black community, because alcohol is forbidden by Islam.

So, that’s the story behind the raids on Your Black Muslim Bakery yesterday? I was thinking of a terrorist angle given the islamic connections and all that.

As soon as I saw the words “murder” and “muslim”, I saw the connection.

alcohol is forbidden by Islam.

But cold-blooded murder is not! Go figure...

That kind of murder is justified, according to the Koran.

Muslim is not a “religion of pieces” for nothing.

If it had been some “right wing” nut group, or a “Christian” fundamentalist group, they would not have left anything out. The sin of omission is their mission.............

When poking at an aggressor it’s best to be armed.

If you’re not prepared to defend yourself, don’t compound the error by antagonizing a group already determined to be violent.

again we get the apologists trying to distance Muslim terrorists from their savagery ....

June 10, 2007 PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, the four suspects now accused of plotting to bomb Kennedy International Airport to turn when they were looking for Islamist support.
“I’d describe them as a local criminal gang,” he added, “not any kind of global terrorist organization. It’s a very radical fringe group, not at all representative of the Trinidadian Muslim community.”

You will understand the motive of the Muslim terrorists.

HADITH Sahih Bukhari [4:52:260] Narrated Ikrima: Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn ‘Abbas, who said, “Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, ‘Don’t punish (anybody) with Allah’s Punishment.’ No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, ‘If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.’

HADITH Sahih Bukhari [6:61:577] Narrated ‘Ali: I heard the Prophet saying, “In the last days (of the world) there will appear young people with foolish thoughts and ideas. They will give good talks, but they will go out of Islam as an arrow goes out of its game, their faith will not exceed their throats. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for there will be a reward for their killers on the Day of Resurrection.”

HADITH Sahih Bukhari [9:84:64] Narrated ‘Ali: Whenever I tell you a narration from Allah’s Apostle, by Allah, I would rather fall down from the sky than ascribe a false statement to him, but if I tell you something between me and you (not a Hadith) then it was indeed a trick (i.e., I may say things just to cheat my enemy). No doubt I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “During the last days there will appear some young foolish people who will say the best words but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, where-ever you find them, kill them, for who-ever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection.”

HADITH Sahih Bukhari [4:52:283] Narrated Abu Juhaifa: I asked Ali, “Do you have the knowledge of any Divine Inspiration besides what is in Allah’s Book?” ‘Ali replied, “...we have what is written in this paper as well.” I asked, “What is written in this paper?” He replied, “...the judgment that no Muslim should be killed for killing an infidel.”

This is not in any way a defense of either Black-Muslims or Islam...but they are different faiths.

Black Muslims believe that the “Honorable” Elijah Muhammad went up in a space ship and was told that white people were a botched experiment by black scientists.

Islam doesn’t believe anything Elijah Muhammad said.

But maybe because they have books by Malcolm X they are part of the splinter group of Black Muslims that discounted Elijah Muhammad and tried to go back to “true” Islam. I don’t claim to know.

But it is doubtful that these people were in any way “orthodox” Muslims. Although they did seem to get the basic mindset right. Alcohol is forbidden to the “faithful”, so smash up the store that sells it to those that are NOT. Use violence against those who use words that you find objectionable. Hey, maybe those guys are more “orthodox” than I thought. ;)

Nah, it was a case of a reporter nosing around where he probably shouldn't have. He didn't shut up when he was told to shut up, so it was shut up for him.

In other words, black on black crime. Nothing new here folks, just move along back to your safe enclaves of Orinda, Moraga and Claremont.

It doesn’t to matter much what brand of muslims you wish to call them, I still see the words “murder” and muslim” together.

I haven't read the WP story yet. They had to include the title of the bakery, right? I mean "Your Black Muslim Bakery" doesn't leave much to the imagination.

Sometimes you can add comments to WP stories...:)

It’s just such a glaring omission, it’s laughable. Someone should contact News Busters.

“In 2005, he was accused by police of being the ringleader in a group of black Muslims who smashed liquor bottles in Oakland corner stores and berated the Muslim owners for selling alcohol to the black community, because alcohol is forbidden by Islam.”

We got a heads up on one of these bottle smashing events on the local Fox TV from a mother of a cop. The store video showed local Black Muslims dressed in suits and rain/over coats turning over racks and breaking bottles. The police PR guy said that they were unable to identify the perps inspite of having excellent facial videos.

Of course Moonbeam Brown was the mayor of Oakland, and he had orders out to the cops to protect the Black Muslims and to ignore situations like this.

It was a real low even for the local tv stations and Brown.
