Dear Eric: Although I do not know you, I am replying to you heartfelt cry of sympathy for James Ujaama, the "Seattle activist" you refer to below. I would preface my comments by saying I support civil rights, privacy rights and internet freedom of speech. As for James Ujaama, he is not being held on charges related to his jejune stopamerica.org website (which by the way mischaracterizes the Taliban as supporting education for women: Taliban did not.) Anyway: Ujaama is a black racial supremacist "Muslim" convert thug who stockpiled arms, shook down drug-dealers with his "Muslim" extortion gang, beat and brutalized and pistol-whipped real Muslims to gain control of a Mosque, planned to poison the Seattle and Tacoma water supply systems, worked with Semi Osman to collect intelligence on Navy POL stocks in the Puget sound, tried to organize a terrorist training camp with London-based Supporters of Shariah (SOS) in Oregon, supported the SOS "Ultimate Jihad Challenge" website that recruited and trained pro-Al-Qaeda soldiers, hand carried laptop computers to the Taliban/Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan (loaded with images and maps of potential terrorist targets in Seattle), and, with his cronies in Seattle, was involved in a chain of reported gang crimes including shootings, beatings, death threats, etc. (there were surely many more than were never reported). Ujaama swore alliegence as a Jihadi to Abu Hamza Al Masri and Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin. SOS boss Abu Hamza Al-Masri (convicted in absentia for terrorist attacks in Yemen) is linked with (shoe-bomber) Richard Reid and Zacarias Moussaoui; as well as with Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (H.Rap Brown), the Atlanta cop-killer. Al-Amin was also a key members of Al-Masri calls the "Jihad in America" and recruited converts for terror groups including Lashkar-e-Taiba (a Kashmiri Mujahideen group). (On the internet, it is still possible to find the account of Shaheed Abu Adam, recruited by Al-Amin, transported by Al-Masri, and who died a Shaheed in Kashmir.) When Al-Amin was arrested in the copkilling case, Al-Masri noted, in his Al-Jihaad magazine, that Al-Amin and the Jihadis like him would wage Jihad a against the United States until the United States was destroyed or all the Jihadis had become Shaheeds (martyrs). SOS and its ally Al-Muhajiroun supplied as many as 2000 British nationals as soldiers to the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, Kashmiri Mujahideen, Chechen Mujahideen, Kosovar Mujahideen, and Bosnian Mujahideen. The silly little website, Stopamerica.org, has nothing to do with the actual charges against Ujaama. Oh, and Ujaama is not a real "well-known Seattle community activist": these days, every Black gangster is deemed to be a "community activist". Ujaama is an affirmative action golden boy, pampered and honored and government-funded (even his business that illegally supplied computers to the Taliban appears to have been government funded), and a beneficiary of the Black racist solidarity that applauds anything that young Black men do: crimes, beatings, extortion, firefights, even terrorism. But in spite of this he was a failure at everything: at school, in each of his businesses. Even though he was honored by the state proclaimed James Ujaama Day for being a "community activist" without visible accomplishments, his twisted sense of entitlement, cultivated by affirmative action, led him into conspiracies and fantasies of destroying America and poisoning the water supply of Seattle. If you want to defend civil rights, pick a different poster boy. Sincerely, James Joseph Sanchez, PhD (Middle East Studies), MLS Seattle P.S.--Having a Master's of Library Science, I oppose, as do all professional librarian associations and every librarian I ever met, any reporting to the police what books people read at libraries. =====

A well-known Seattle Activist, the webmaster of www.stopamerica.org, was
recently indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of having "discussions" in 1998 related to the possible setting up of a training camp in Oregon. It is not alleged that he did anything, merely that he "discussed," whatever that means, and several years before anyone flattened any New York skyscrapers.
One can now get arrested and charged with a laundry list of "terrorist" crimes for...
Having the same training as the terrorists
Having the same radio as the terrorists
Having links to terrorists
Having discussions years ago about things that are now considered linked
to terrorists
Soon to come, I expect...
Reading the same books as the terrorists
Being pissed at the same governments as the terrorists
Supporting the same social issues as the terrorists
