Kyle Shideler, who calls himself in his Twitter bio a “purveyor of radical Islam,” added some more detail to that story about a New Mexico compound made of garbage where five people were arrested for child abuse after 11 children were found living in Third World conditions. Court documents said one of the men was training children to commit school shootings.
According to The New York Post, one of the men arrested, Siraj Wahhaj, is the son of Brooklyn imam Siraj Wahhaj, 68, who heads the Masjid At-Taqwa mosque. Shideler adds:
Is this a good time to point out that NYPD surveiled Wahhaj's mosque because its security force was suspected of engaging in illegal weapons trafficking and participating in paramilitary training? And that this surveillance was shutdown by the ACLU? pic.twitter.com/q3k8suDwnG

I feel like… maybe in some alternate universe, this fact, and the fact that Wahhaj's son was arrested in an New Mexico desert compound while alleging training kids for jihad might make an interesting news story.

We tracked down the court filing in Shideler’s tweet (you can download the PDF from the ACLU’s site) and found the juicy bits:
The NYPD’s investigation of certain individuals associated with Plaintiff Masjid At Taqwa was based upon information about their lengthy history of suspected criminal activity, some of it terroristic in nature. This information includes but is not limited to: illegal weapons trafficking by members of the mosque’s security team and the mosque caretaker both within the mosque and at the store adjacent; illegal weapons trafficking by certain attendees of the mosque; allegations that the mosque ran a “gun club”; and allegations that the assistant Imam had earmarked portions of over $200,000 raised in the mosque to a number of US Government designated terrorist organizations.
…
Members of the mosque’s security team have instructed individuals on how to disarm police officers and have led martial arts classes involving individuals convicted on terrorism charges. Since at least 2003, Masjid At Taqwa members have participated in and sponsored paintball exercises and survival training outside New York City, activities which have been carried out for training purposes by violent extremists in multiple terrorism cases in the United States and abroad-such as the “Virginia Jihad” case, the Fort Dix plot, the 7/7 attacks in London, and the UK fertilizer bomb plot (“Operation Awakening”).
Coincidence that I provided info to the authorities showing that Siraj Ibn Wahhaj runs a security company that could enable him to acquire weapons and get tactical training?

We’re still not sure if the AP has even mentioned Islam yet or if people are still blaming the NRA.
I'd say this is a perfect time for this reminder. We'd better get a whole lot smarter about the threat posed by radical islamic groups and begin to deal with it logically.

It's always a good time to point out how badly the @ACLU sucks as an anti-American, pro-Communist organization.

@ACLU what is your excuse for this one?

And yet they are where to be found to protect Infowars #freespeech. More and more like Europe where citizens are supposed to silently watch as criminals plot to tear down their society for fear of being called racist. And how’s that working for EU women and girls, feminists?
