DETROIT — A mosque on Friday dismissed as "utterly preposterous" the FBI's allegations that its murdered leader was part of a radical Islamic group.
Luqman Ameen Abdullah, the imam or prayer leader of Masjid Al-Haqq in Detroit, was a "recognized and respected member of numerous mainstream Muslim organizations and leadership bodies," the mosque said.

This dirtbag was being arrested by FBI agents for conspiracy to sell stolen goods when, accordig to their report, he fired on them. They returned fire killing him. This is hardly murder.
Yet, Fox runs this headline convicting the FBI agents of murdering him as if this were a mob hit! The headline probably comes directl from the Marxist Associated Press, but that is no excuse for Fox to include this headline.
It's a wonder that the FBI hasn't contacted them already to demand a retraction and apology, but if they don't, we should!

“recognized and respected member of numerous mainstream Muslim organizations and leadership bodies,”... Which says it all right there.
The AP is a state propaganda arm.
It’s an AP story and I don’t think Fox can alter the headline.
That is strange. The article is from AP, and presumably the headline was written by AP as well.
AP is well known for its friendliness with Muslim terrorists. It used Muslim terrorists as stringers and photographers during the war in Iraq while Bush was President.
Still, unless the rules have changed, any newspaper or website that subscribes to a wire service like AP is entitled to change the original headline to suit themselves.
Fox should change this headline ASAP.
Looks like Fox passively running the AP wire’s headline and copy.
First, you have to remember who is in charge of the FBI these days. Holder will probably fire the whole FBI chain of command for this “murder”.
Second, I would be surprised if that “imam” ever once set foot outside of the United States.

...billionaire Prince al-Walid bin Talal criticized U.S. media for being generally "pro-Israel" and said Arabs are not doing enough to counter that, according to Middle East Online.
The prince then pointed to his own experience as an example of what can be done.
During the violent street protests in France one month ago, the prince said, Fox News ran a banner at the bottom of the screen that said "Muslim riots."
"I picked up the phone and called Murdoch ... [and told him] these are not Muslim riots, these are riots out of poverty," al-Walid said.
"Within 30 minutes, the title was changed from Muslim riots to civil riots...."

“Looks like Fox passively running the AP wire’s headline and copy.”
Thats what news organizations do with AP and Reuters stories. Thats what AP and Reuters are in the business to provide. Propaganda.
Click here to see for yourself.
bump...
Good find.
In another story other Muslims were outraged that the FBI had informants in their mosque.
Well, in this case, I don’t have any sympathy for the deceased. Yet, I can’t help but remember when a wholesale murder of sorts occurred at the hands of FBI, BATF, Justice Department, etc. - WACO
“It’s an AP story and I don’t think Fox can alter the headline.”
But they can add to the headline, like we do with Barf Alerts.
All that means is Fox is the only organization who will report on muslim terrorists in the US.
Boo hoo - brings a tear to my eye.
In Washington, a group called the American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and Elections called for an independent investigation of Abdullah’s death.
The group is an umbrella organization whose members include the American Muslim Alliance, American Muslims for Palestine and Council on American-Islamic Relations.
At this rate it’s a toss up as to who will destroy
America first, the Rats or the Muzzies.
Really does say it all, doesn't it? When Islam becomes "mainstream" somewhere, you don't need a watch to know what time it is. It's time to get out.
The AP contract says that the body, if used as a whole, must be used as presented, but subscribers can write the headlines as they wish and presented headlines are merely ‘suggestions.’ They also have to include the author’s name and photographer’s credit if presented.
The editor at Fox News is responsible for letting this trash in.
Wouldn't that include the DNC?
Role playing as the victim:
“taqiyya”
When placed under scrutiny or criminal investigation, (even when there is overwhelming, irrefutable evidence of guilt or complicity), the taqiyya-tactician will quickly attempt to counter the allegation by resorting to the claim that it is, in fact, the accused who are the ‘the victims’. Victims of Islamophobia, racism, religious discrimination and intolerance. Currently, this is the most commonly encountered form of distraction and ‘outwitting’….. Defence by offence.
I checked dozens of news sites this
id definitely a FOX News headline not an AP headline,
AP story Fox Headline.
Go figure?
maybe Shep Smith is moonlighting on the weekends
Weekends at Fox can really stink!!
These Muslims should read from the BOOK OF ARMAMENTS Chapter 3 :57 . . . . . . If thou, being a Muslim Extremist racist radical doest raise thy firearm from thy belt and point that rod in the direction of Federal agents. If thou shalt further shoot that firearm not once, not twice, but many times in the federal agent’s general direction. Then they shall smite you down with a hail of pork laden bullets until thou shalt be dead and claimed murdered. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEN! (My apologies to Monty Python.)
Neither. At some point though, we are going to get off our asses and get our hands dirty...
It is essentially gibberish, especially the opening clause, Luqman Ameen Abdullah, the imam or prayer leader of Masjid Al-Haqq in Detroit
I have no idea what Masjid Al-Haqq means. I don't speak Arabic, but I do speak a reasonable amount of American English. When I write for news readers in American English I know it is impossible (or, at best, impolite) to use the vocabulary I would use in conversation with a news source, for example.
It's safe to say, no offense meant toward anyone (like me) regularly compelled to read AP copy, that I cannot use my full vocabulary when writing science stories.
Have you ever closely examined the Noble Undecided seen in Frank Luntz Focus Groups, late in an election cycle? These people read newspapers, too.
Now if I have to speak a constrained form of English to translate topics still generally taught in high school to newspaper readers, for the widest possible audience, how do Muslims get away with pretending I am supposed to know what "Masjid Al-Haqq" means?
If I have to "dumb down" what I write to those who speak English, particularly so the reader is not made resentful for being made to feel like something that the cat drug in, then why does this minority, this marginal Mass Movement's members get away with insulting their audience?
Probably a series of rhetorical questions.
/Rant
Googling around shows it first as an AP head, then a Fox head. Still, Fox should fix it.
From:Who Groomed Barack Obama?
He has also used his billions to buy shares in American media outlets so he can influence what Americans see and read about Islam. Talal owns shares of News Corp, which owns Fox News, Coca-Cola, Ford, McDonald’s, Amazon.com, Disney, Time Warner and other American businesses.
He shot and killed a police dog first and then when he would not surrender they took him out. Justified and righteous shoot in my eyes.
Yes, curious.
The alternative explanation is that Fox News is the only one running this story, but that they are using the original AP headline that was sent to them, as Driftdivr suggests.
But if you do a search for the lead sentence, you find that it is, indeed, Fox News that uses that headline, and that other news sources use more fair and balanced headlines:
So, Fox News is guiltier than we thought, evidently.
This was not murder. It was abating a a dangerous public nusiance.
Saying that the guy was murdered implies that the agents involved in the incident may be put on trial for murder. It reminds me of Hillary calling NY cops murderers (after an accidental death that got a lot of attention).
Glad someone said it. Remember Vicki Weaver.
Don’t be too hasty. He might have a copy of the One’s BC.
AP = ALL propaganda
PING to “Murdered” Detroit Imam.

DISCOVER the NETWORKS: Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin
60’s:
Popularly known as H. Rap Brown, in May 1967 he succeeded Stokely Carmichael as the leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, a civil rights and anti-Vietnam War student organization that had emerged 7 years earlier. Carmichael and Brown together were key activists in the Lowndes County Freedom Organization, which sported a black panther on its flag.
They rejected Martin Luther King, Jr.’s nonviolent and integrationist politics while calling for “Black Power.” Brown’s most famous statement was “Violence is as American as apple pie.” A 1967 Newsweek article described Brown as a man who “preaches armed eye-for-an-eye self-defense for Negroes and packs a 12-gauge ‘cracker gun’ in his own dusty Plymouth.”
In July 1967 Brown was arrested for inciting a riot at a civil rights rally in Cambridge, Maryland. At the event, Brown declared, “Black folks built America, and if America don’t come around, we’re going to burn America down.” At a rally in Oakland, California the following year, Brown was named the Minister of Justice for the Black Panther Party, a radical group that engaged in much criminal activity including drug dealing, pimping, extortion, assault, and murder.
In 1968 Brown wrote his first book, Die Nigger Die, in which he claimed that white people wanted all blacks dead. Then, rather than face criminal charges stemming from the Cambridge incident of 1967, he jumped bail and disappeared for two years, thereby earning himself a spot on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted List.”
70’s
Brown was captured and arrested at a 1971 shootout in New York City and was sent to prison for five years. During this time, his lawyer was the radical William Kunstler, who previously had represented Stokely Carmichael and Angela Davis. While serving his sentence, Brown converted to Islam. A fellow inmate recommended that he call himself “Al-Amin,” which translates to “the trustworthy” in Arabic. From then on, Brown was known as Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin.
When he was paroled in 1976, Al-Amin became Imam of the Atlanta Community Mosque.
80’s
In 1983 he established Imam Jamil Al-Amin’s National Community, a coalition of 30 mosques that fell under his guidance.
90’s
In 1990, Al-Amin was elected Vice President of the American Muslim Council, which would later become a member organization of Sami Al-Arian’s National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom.
In 1992, Imam Jamil Al-Amin’s National Community became a member of the Bosnia Task Force, an alliance of ten Muslim groups supporting Muslims affected by the Bosnian War. The following year Al-Amin helped organize the Islamic Shura Council of North America, which brought together the Islamic Society of North America, the Islamic Circle of North America, the Ministry of Imam W. Deen Mohammed, and Imam Jamil’s National Community.
During the second half of the 1990s, Al-Amin was investigated for a number of murders but was never formally charged. Then in 1999 he was charged with possessing a stolen car, driving without insurance, and impersonating a police officer. Al-Amin refused to appear for his court date, prompting police to issue a warrant for his arrest.
When two sheriff deputies tried to serve the warrant on March 16, 2000, which was the Muslim holiday Eid ul-Adha, they were shot. Deputy Ricky Kinchen was killed and his partner Aldranon English was wounded. English later identified Al-Amin as the shooter, and after a five-day police manhunt the suspect was caught and arrested on March 21 in a wooded area near a small town in Alabama. The gun that had been used in the police shootings was found near the arrest site.
TODAY
In 2002 Al-Amin was tried and found guilty of Deputy Kinchen’s murder and is now serving a life sentence in prison.
Along with Philadelphia cop-killer (and former Black Panther) Mumia Abu Jamal, Al-Amin ranks among the most celebrated “political prisoners” championed by the political left. A supportive Mumia has written: “Imam Jamil has lived a good and rich life in service to his spiritual and ethnic community. He richly deserves the fullest support in all efforts leading to his freedom, so that he may return to the community.”
Also supportive of Al-Amin’s cause has been the organization International ANSWER, which, at an April 20, 2004 demonstration in Washington, DC, played for the crowd a taped message from the incarcerated Al-Amin. The stated purpose of ANSWER’s demonstration was to show “support for the Palestinian people battling the U.S.-backed Israeli aggression.” “FREE PALESTINE! No new war on Iraq!” was the event’s oft-repeated slogan.
Other supporters of Al-Amin include the Muslim Students’ Association, the National Lawyers Guild, the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade, the Workers World Party, the Muslim Alliance of North America, Amnesty International, and Campaign to End the Death Penalty...

Yeah...sure...right. And he was shooting at the cops because he thought they were going to steal the food and cloths he was distributing to the "poor".
If you shoot at someone, you should never be surprised when they shoot back and kill you..
I saw someone call AP “Approved Propaganda” the other day.
Sure fits here.
Title is an outrage

The Who’s Who of current radical african-american muslims starts here.
The Propagandist Islamics assume that Americans are completely dumb, when they spew their lies to spin their web of legitimacy.They are radicals bent on the destruction of AMerica, and the peaceful Muzzies sit backand twiddle their thumbs, which is the REAL crux of the problem.They should be OUTING them.
Thanks for the list. The pictures , printed out look good on my dart board.
