No Muslims Sailing the Seas of David - Q00000068 (1/1)

The association with Islam and terrorism is so complete that every
article discussing yesterday's arrest of seven men in Miami for plotting
to blow up the Sears Tower- the tallest building in America and designed
by prominent Muslim American engineer Fazlur Rahman Khan- is soaked in
Islamic terminology, even though there were no actual al-Qaida
operatives or Muslim Americans involved.

The odd circumstances around the event include a cult-like group named
the "Seas of David", which has 40 to 50 members who call themselves
"soldiers of God" (but mostly resemble "Kramer" jihadists). They passed
their time selling African-American hair care products and, in the words
of a group member, "train through the Bible... not only physical but
mentally". The cell attempted to contact al-Qaida in order to secure
support for their plans, which attracted the attention of the FBI, who
supplied a fake al-Qaida operative.

Like the 2003 sting operation that foiled an attempt to peddle Stinger
missiles to terrorists (another example of a terrorist plot free of
actual Muslim involvement), the FBI informant supplied military boots
per request of the "Seas of David" and took notes on the unfolding plan,
which was falling apart even as the seven men were arrested.

Unlike the arrests in Toronto last month, this is a group more Christian
in practice than Muslim, consisting of names that would never come up on
a "no-fly" list: Narseal Batiste, Burson Augustin, Patrick Abraham
("Brother Pat"), Stanley Grant Phanor ("Brother Sunni") Naudimar Herrera
("Brother Naudy"), Lyglenson Lemorin ("Brother Levi-El"), and Rotschild
Augustine ("Brother Rot").

"Nothing in the four corners of the indictment,"opines legal commentator
Andrew Cohen, "convinces me that these guys were legitimate terrorist
wannabes as opposed to a bunch of angry bozos looking lazily for
al-Qaeda to hook them up with all sorts of goodies." So when the dust
settles, all there will be is an angry Bible study group that tried in
vain to contact al-Qaida, with the goal of destroying one of the
greatest gifts Muslim Americans have given to the US - not exactly the
"terror cell" story Americans have come to expect.
