Detroit: Targeted (and Killed) by the FBI for Radical Speech?

A radical black community/religious leader was shot dead by the FBI on Wednesday. No one seems to give a crap. After all, we are being told this dead man was the aggressor. That he was a corrupt criminal, raking profits through illegal business. We are being told he wanted to overthrow the US Govt and install sharia law. We are being told he talked about terrorist attacks.

A couple things. This has nothing to do with domestic terrorism (there are no terrorist charges). The only crime here was conceived of and proposed by the FBI - the sale of some stolen cars (it appears). I've seen no evidence that Mr. Abdullah was engaged in criminal enterprise besides this FBI scheme.

No, in fact, Abdullah was as broke as they come - with a dumpy truck living in the ghetto of Detroit. His mosque was evicted from their digs 10 months ago.

Abdullah's son said the closest Abdullah came to espousing a radical overthrow of the government is to suggest the creation of Islamic law in certain neighborhoods to combat theft, drugs, prostitution and other crimes... "peace where the children can run and play,” he said.”

Is it beyond the pale to simply ask what exactly transpired, where this man had to be shot dead? Can we ask why exactly the FBI was spending so much time spying on this group - the "Ummah"? Was this car selling scheme so dangerous that a full-on raid was needed?

As for Abdullah's character, here is what the leader of the (moderate) Council on American-Islamic Relations, Michigan chapter, said: “I know him as a respected imam in the Muslim community... We have no information about illegal activity going on at that mosque.” He “would give the shirt off his back to people. The congregation he led was poor. He fed very hungry people in the neighborhood who were Christian. He helped and assisted a lot of troubled youth. People would come up to him who were hungry and he would let them sleep in the mosque. He would let them in from the elements.”

The leader of this supposed group (the "Ummah") is 60s radical H. Rapp Brown (now Imam Jamil Abdullah al-Amin), who was spied on by the Feds in SNCC and the Black Panthers in the 60s - and now in the 00s apparently. It would be understandable if the group had a sour view of the Feds. But that is not a crime. And neither is idle (non-threatening) speech. Without the FBI invented crime, that is all we have here.

Plus a dead body and 11 in jail. And no one gives a hoot.
