    >Jamaat al-Muslimeen International Press Release
    >FBI WANTED TO "GET" IMAM JAMIL al-AMIN Since World Trade
    >Bombing
    >
    >The Evidence has been staring us in the face but most Muslims did
    >not notice. In its April 1, 2000 issue The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
    >(AJC)
    >published a lengthy article on Imam Jamil al-Amin written by Joshua
    >Good and Richard Whitt which indicated that the paper has good links with
    >the FBI.
    >
    >The report was meant to find Imam Jamil al-Amin guilty by
    >association. (The usual dirty trick the government plays on those whom it
    >wants to convict.) HOWEVER A CAREFUL READING OF THE REPORT
    >BRINGS OUT THE FACT that the FBI has tried everything it could to link
    >Imam Jamil al-Amin to serious crime.
    >
    >The AJC report says that the FBI investigated Imam Jamil "from 1992
    >to1997" . They were unable to pin anything on him. It's interesting to note
    >WHAT they were trying to pin on him. According to AJC, the federal
    >investigation "started after the World Trade Center bombing in 1992."
    >What the fool reporters of the AJC do not know is that the World
    >Trade Center bombing took place in 1993: to be exact on February 26,
    >1993. So they are off by one whole year.
    >It could also imply that these reporters stumbled on some information
    >which links the FBI's efforts to label Muslims as "terrorists" and this may
    >have something to do with the conspiracy which led on to the World Trade
    >Center bombing. (There is still no solid proof about who did it, although
    >the government has tried to blame just about all its opponents, from Ramzi
    >Yusuf, to Shaikh Omar, to now Osama bin Laden.)
    >
    >According to AJC, the Darul-Islam movement was also investigated and
    >then "Agent Bill Gant, then a member of an anti-terrorism task force, took
    >on the Al-Amin case." He "investigated" Imam Amin in connection with every
    >possible crime which took place on the west side of Atlanta: "bank
    >robberies, weapons violations, manufacturing and possessing explosives,
    >harboring fugitives and armored car robberies."
    >
    >In other words an anti-terrorism expert was trying to link a
    >PEACEFUL ISLAMIC IMAM, HAPPILY MARRIED, WITH BUSINESS AND
    >MOSQUE TO TAKE CARE OF with every serious crime he could find in Atlanta.
    >Remember the anti-terrorism task force has ONE BILLION DOLLARS to
    >play with, and as terrorists are very difficult to find, these people waste
    >the
    >taxpayers money in trying to label Islamic leaders.
    >
    >ATTEMPT TO PIN DRUG PUSHERS' MURDERS ON THE IMAM:
    >In its crude "guilt by association" article, the AJC lists 14 alleged
    >drug pushers murdered in Atlanta. As is well-known, drug pushers often
    >kill each other, but because the Imam's community was strongly against
    >drugs,
    >the government tried to connect the Muslims (especially the Imam) with the
    >murders.
    >
    >ENTIRE MOSQUE COMMUNITY INVESTIGATED:
    >The AJC report inadvertently discloses a major violation of the
    >rights of Muslims in this country. "The Atlanta Police Department's
    >intelligence squad compiled a list of 134 people associated with Al-Amin,
    >most of them members of the mosque." If that is not guilt by association,
    >what is? "The list included dates of birth and Social Security numbers.
    >For some it also includes criminal history and suspected roles in unsolved
    >crimes." Which simply means, the police can start an investigation against
    >a Muslim because he belongs to an independent mosque and not the plush
    >pro-government white elephant places run by CAIR and AMC.
    >
    >This is comparable to the case of Shaikh Omar 'Abdel Rahman where
    >homes were investigated because the Muslims there had spoken to the Shaikh
    >or been part of his congregation in prayer. Now, this means, if a brother
    >who
    >was once involved in a crime, embraces Islam and comes to Jamaat
    >al-Muslimeen's
    >masjid, this masjid will be investigated.
    >
    >Who says the Muslims of America are not oppressed? If anyone here is
    >independent, he is suspect. The anti-terrorism task force has a billion
    >dollars to spend.
    >
    >Don't be mislead by the fact that the government is using Black
    >police officers against the Muslims. This is a well-known divide-and-rule
    >tactic.
    >In an article titled "Who says conspirators can't be black?" writer Lukata
    >Mjumbe gives instances of police atrocities against people of African
    >descent in Atlanta in which Black officers were used.
    >
    >The AJC and other media played a dirty trick by portraying the
    >killed police officer as a "family man" and Imam Jamil as a violent
    >revolutionary. As Mjumbe asks, isn't Al-Amin a husband, father and
    >"one of our own" as well?
    >
    >Muslim mosques better speak out against the violation of the
    >mosque community in Atlanta, otherwise tomorrow it will be their turn.
