Debbie Schlussel: More Notes on the Miami Terror Cell: FBI, ICE Incompetence Let Dangerous Muslim Go
While busting the Miami Terror Cell, yesterday, was a great development, there are many others around the country that are anything but.
The fact is most of these men were Black Muslims, converts to Islam, some of whom came from the Islands (Bahamas, Haiti). At least one was an illegal alien. ICE and the FBI have repeatedly failed in stopping these types of people. Not because they tried and failed. They just didn't try.
I know from personal experience. In 2003, I received the e-mail death threat below from Robert Mustaq John, a Black convert to Islam who is here illegally (from Jamaica) and living in Brooklyn, NY. (The photos contained therein depict the beheading of Daniel Pearl, also a Jewish American.) Michigan FBI Agents John Ouellet (too busy writing a stupid book on the Michigan militia apparently on your tax-paid time) and his supervisor Bill Edwards did nothing regarding this threat and dropped the ball . . . until I told Edwards I'd write about it.
Thereafter, FBI agents in New York interviewed John who, according to Edwards, said he "didn't really mean it" and "wasn't really going to do anything about it." Uh-huh. Agent Edwards urged me to forget about it and drop it. Thereafter, Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheldon Light refused to do anything and sat on it. Then, U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy III (about to be nominated to the Court of Appeals by President Bush) recused his entire office from doing anything on this case, while he prosecuted two men for sending less offensive e-mails to extremist Muslim terror-supporters.
Meanwhile, Special Agent Ouellet has apparently posted attacks on me on this site (under the screen name "SURREXI") and disclosed confidential info on the case. And the FBI has lost contact with Robert Mustaq John. They don't know where he is. We know that many converts to Islam--John Walker Lindh, Adam Gadahn, John Allen Muhammad, Lee Malvo, Clement Rodney Hampton-El, Jose Padilla a/k/a Abdullah Al-Muhajir--several of them Black Muslims and some illegal aliens from the Islands tend to get involved in Islamic terrorism.
If Robert Mustaq John ends up doing so--and it looks like he's on his way--blame the FBI and U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy III for dropping the ball.
