QuoteTerror Investigation Leads to Major Drug Bust at New York Mosque

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam. He is completing a book on the international challenges America faces in the 21st century.

The NYPD knew there was something going on at the Islamic Center of Flatbush. They thought it was terrorism. It turned out to be drugs.

Two Flatbush, Brooklyn residents, Mustafa Sadeq Ali and Sadeq Hassan Ali, were seen on surveillance video storing boxes of khat in the Islamic Center of Flatbush, a mosque located right next door to their building.

Attorney General Schneiderman confirmed that the surveillance was the result of an ongoing terrorism investigation at the mosque. He said that the investigation did not yield any indication of terrorism.

It did uncover, however, a three layered international narcotics distribution ring, officials said, in violation of U.S. laws against khat sales and distribution, in place for two decades.

"We're still tracking the funds," said Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, regarding the khat ring. "But we know it was millions of dollars."

He said that officers from his agency and the NYPD arrested 17 people in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.

Difficult to fund the incoming explosives and weapons without a ready cash supply from addicts to that pernicious drug. I mean, what are the FBI thinking, interrupting peaceful Muslim commerce (which will surely become national law after the Ninth Imam takes over the Supreme Court)?  :rolleyes:

Not to worry. Even nine-year-old border-jumpers can backpack a sizable amount of substitute get-high. If the Mexicans and Columbians can do it, then by Allah so can the animals of Islam.
