The six are accused of conspiring to provide material support to a conspiracy to murder, injure and kidnap people abroad and conspiring to provide support to a terrorist organisation, the Pakistani Taliban.
But Ikram Khan, another son of Hafiz Khan, said his father was too old and unwell to be involved in a plot.
"None of my family supports the Taliban. We support this country,"
Yeah,Yeah,Yeah, we have heard it all before, And Islam is the Religion of Peace.
So again we have Muslims in America, Imams no less, suporting terrorists.
When all we hear is how Muslims in America do not do these kinds of things.
But there you go.
Taqiyya( the Islamic art of Lying ) is also practiced by Muslims.
So what are you going to believe?
BBC
Authorities in the US have charged six people with providing financial support to the Pakistani Taliban.
Three are US citizens, including two imams at Florida mosques, while three are at large in Pakistan.
The news comes amid heightened tension in relations between Pakistan and the US following the US raid that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
The four-count indictment against the six people was announced by Wifredo Ferrer - US attorney for the Southern District of Florida - and local FBI agents.
The indictment mentions financial transfers of $50,000 (£30,000) but Mr Ferrer said evidence suggested this was "the tip of the iceberg".
The three Florida citizens were named as Hafiz Khan, 76, and his sons Irfan Khan, 37, and Izhar Khan, 24.
Hafiz Khan is the imam at the Flagler Mosque in Miami, while Izhar Khan is the imam at the Jamaat al-Mumineen Mosque in nearby Margate. Officials said their mosques were not suspected of wrongdoing.
Ali Rehman, Alam Zeb and Amina Khan, who live in Pakistan, were also charged.

Bomb explodes in mosque in Pakistan
Islam, What other Religion can you belong to where after your Friday prayers and while you are trying to feed the Poor; can you have your ass blown up at the same time!
Allahu ackbar!
(Reuters) - A bomb exploded in a mosque in the northwestern Pakistani town of Nowshera on Friday, killing at least nine people and wounding over 30, police and hospital officials said.
The blast took place when food was being distributed to the poor after midday Friday prayers.
"Many people had left the mosque after prayers. Otherwise losses would have been higher," said Adil Khan, a Nowshera police official.
Pakistan has seen a wave of suicide attacks in the past three years, many in the country's northwest frontier region with Afghanistan, where the Pakistan military is battling Taliban insurgents.

Oklahoma Police Captain Faces Disciplinary Action for Refusing to Attend Islamic Event
Rotten Bastard, How dare this Guy not attend a Muslim get down at the local Mosque!
They just wanted to honor the police with a prayer service, a tour of the Mosque, a lecture or two on the Beliefs of Islam, And some talk about women!
Unbelievable, Outrageous!
I can't believe someone would turn down an offer to be Converted to Islam!(Sarc off)
Foxnews
The Tulsa Police Deptartment is investigating a captain who refused an order to assign officers to attend an upcoming Islamic event because he said it would violate his religious beliefs.
Capt. Paul Fields was reassigned after he refused to order officers under his command to attend the Islamic Center of Tulsa’s Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, a spokesman for the department said.
“It is my opinion and that of my legal counsel that forcing me to enter a Mosque when it is not directly related to a police call for service is a violation of my Civil Rights,” Fields wrote in an internal police department memo obtained by Fox News.
“I have no problem with officers attending on a voluntary basis; however, I take exception to requiring officers to attend this event,” Fields wrote in an e-mail to his superior officer obtained by Fox News. “I believe this directive to be an unlawful order, as it is in direct conflict with my personal religious convictions.”
Tulsa Police Chief Chuck Jordan told FOX23-TV the event was about community relations, not religion.
“This was not religious,” he said. “I would never assign a police officer to participate in religious service,” he told the TV station. “This is about a group who bonded together because of their religion. We are not going there because they are Islamic. We are going there because they are Tulsa citizens.”
However, according to a promotional flyer, the Islamic event included not just food and entertainment, but “presentations” on “beliefs, human rights, and women.” They would also be able to watch a Muslim prayer service and take a tour of the mosque.
“It’s up to you,” the flyer stated.

Man held over threat to Dearborn mosque
This happened a week ago and info was just released.
Why this guy comes all the way from California to have a Fireworks show at Mosque in Dearborn, is yet to be seen.
Reuters
CHICAGO - A man found with explosives outside one of the nation's largest mosques in suburban Detroit is in jail facing felony charges, police said on Sunday.
Roger Stockham, 63, of California, was arrested with explosives last Monday outside the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Michigan, and faces felony charges that carry up to 35 years in prison, Dearborn police told Reuters by phone.
Stockham was arraigned on January 26 on one felony count of making a false report or terrorist threat and one count of possessing explosives with unlawful intent.
He carried class-C fireworks -- called "consumer fireworks" by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, a police source said.
"It was a substantial quantity (of explosives), enough to do us harm," said Kassem Allie, 53, the executive administrator of the Islamic Center.
Almost 30 percent of Dearborn's 97,775 residents are Arab, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report from 2006. The Islamic Center of America is a 70,000 square-foot facility that can accommodate 1,000 people, according to news reports.

Mob in Athens abuses Muslims celebrating Eid
Awww , to bad !
Maybe Muslims are just not wanted in Greece,
Could that be why so many Muslims immigrate there?
Dawn.com
ATHENS: Dozens of far-right activists and local residents threw eggs and taunted hundreds of Muslim immigrants as they gathered to pray in a central square for Eidul Azha surrounded by a protective cordon of riot police.
Greece, which has become the main immigrant gateway to the European Union, has a growing Muslim community and tensions between locals and incomers have run high in some Athens areas such as Attiki square, the scene of Tuesday’s incident.
Athens’ Muslim community is without an official mosque and prayers are usually held at cultural centres or community halls or private apartments around the city. The Muslim community in Greece is estimated at about 1 million, in a country where most people are Greek Orthodox Christians.
While the Muslims prayed, some locals shouted obscenities from their balconies and waved Greek flags. Leaflets that depicted pigs were scattered across the square.

Saudi Prince Backs Moving Planned NYC Mosque
Awesome, a few more of these guys and the Mosque will definitely be moved.
I like how the Saudi prince is a Mosque supporter, but has not offered up any cash.
Foxnews
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates-- A Saudi prince who has aided the imam spearheading a proposed Islamic center near New York's ground zero is appealing for another site not associated with the "wound" of the Sept. 11 attacks, a report said Thursday.
In interview excerpts published by the Dubai-based Arabian Business magazine, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal was quoted as saying that moving the planned mosque and other facilities would respect the memory of those killed in the 2001 attacks and allow American Muslims to choose a more suitable location.
The comments are reportedly the prince's first public views on the dispute, which has stirred street protests and fiery debates between religious and political leaders over America's freedom of worship versus the lingering anger over the 9/11 attacks.
Prince Alwaleed's Kingdom Foundation has contributed to the group run by New York's Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, but said he has given no funds to the planned center.

Take your Qu'ran and Shove it , with a little Cornhollio !
Imam Says Moving Center Could Spur Radicals
Are you Threatening me ?
WTF is wrong with this whole thing ?
Now if we Don't give the Islamists Their way we Have been warned ?
Pretty F**ked up , that we have been told that we better Back down or else .
The imam Feisal Abdul Rauf said on Wednesday night that if he had known how much strife would arise over his plan for a Muslim community center and mosque two blocks from the World Trade Center site, he would not have proposed it.
Imam Rauf even explains that he has "devoted his life to Peacemaking "
Fair enough , it is Possible !
But the imam said he could not withdraw the plan because that would embolden radicals of all faiths and create security risks for the United States and Americans abroad.
“If we move from that location, the story will be that the radicals have taken over the discourse,” he said. “The headlines in the Muslim world will be that Islam is under attack. And I’m less concerned about the radicals in America than I am about the radicals in the Muslim world.”
Is that a threat Mr Rauf ? What are you really saying here ?
Let's see ,
would embolden radicals of all faiths and create security risks for the United States
Security risks within the United States !,
do tell Mr Rauf , do you Know of something maybe in the works if you can't build your Mosque ?
"And I’m less concerned about the radicals in America than I am about the radicals in the Muslim world.”
So there are some Radical Islamists in the United States ? But we should not worry to much about them , huh ?

Muslim leaders debate FBI presence at mosques
The head spokesman (nitwit) in charge of CAIRs Image , Ibrahim Hooper , does not like the FBI being invited into the Mosques of the U.S. for protection .
"It has a chilling effect on a house of worship, and we would have concerns that agents would also be gathering information on ordinary worshipers."
Yes DouchBag you probably should have Concerns , Mosques throughout the U.S. have been known to preach militant radical Islam at times , and act as a Gathering place for extremists within the Community , it would be the FBI's job to turn you in for this , yet they would have to protect you at the same time .
So much for that Bridge building .
Washington Post
Muslim leaders are debating the wisdom of inviting FBI agents to mosques to provide protection at a time of rising anti-Muslim rhetoric and debate about the proposed Islamic community center near Ground Zero.
The issue surfaced Tuesday as word spread of a Nashville mosque's decision to host two FBI agents at a prayer service last Saturday night. The agents discussed the investigation of a fire, suspected to be arson, at a planned mosque in nearby Murfreesboro, a project that has also triggered vehement opposition. The agents then silently observed prayers from the back row.
"I don't think it's really appropriate to station agents in mosques," said Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington. "It has a chilling effect on a house of worship, and we would have concerns that agents would also be gathering information on ordinary worshipers."

Bloomberg the Douche !
I picked this from Weasel Zippers , I could initially only find it at Huff Po , but my PC Starts getting cranky when I go there (Plus I feel really dirty after a short visit there )
So Now this morning I find out that I am Un American , so Bloomberg says , I am truly offended as all of you should be .
First pelosi says we need to be Investigated for our outrage at this Mosque , and now Mayor Bloomberg pulls off the Un-American Bullshit for the Same ,
If there ever was a way to get a lot of people pissed of at you , The Liberal ass clowns are finding a way !
Weasel Zippers
Islam did not attack the World Trade Center — Al-Qaeda did. To implicate all of Islam for the actions of a few who twisted a great religion is unfair and un-American. Today we are not at war with Islam — we are at war with Al-Qaeda and other extremists who hate freedom.
We implicate because of the Celebrations seen throughout the Muslim world over the following days of 9/11 Douchbag !

US helps fund mosque, minaret restoration around the world as part of cultural outreach
The amount spent on mosque restoration projects is a fraction of the total in the 2010 Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, which also will fund projects to restore Christian and Buddhist sites as well as museums, forts and palaces.
O.k. so let me get it straight here ,
Since 2001 we have been paying for Mosque restorations around the World .
And only till recently money has started to trickle around to Non Muslim interests .
At ground zero some are more worried about Islamic feelings over the Park 51 Mosque being built so close to Ground Zero and way before anything else will be done (Including a Church that was actually Destroyed by one of the Muslim Piloted Planes )
Alright I think I get it , as far as Our government is concerned Muslim Interests Come First !
O.K. , We will also be treated as second class citizens because we protest against the Mosque !
Sounds wrong eh?
Don't worry though , just prepare your Handbasket the ride to Hell is Coming !
Foxnews
WASHINGTON – The good will tour of the Middle East by the imam behind the proposed mosque near ground zero is just part of the U.S. government's efforts to reach out to the Muslim world.
This year, the Obama administration will spend nearly $6 million to restore 63 historic and cultural sites, including mosques and minarets, in 55 nations, according to State Department documents.
Under a program established by Congress in 2001, the department will fund at least five projects in as many countries at a cost of more than $271,000.
The contributions include $76,135 for the 16th century Grand Mosque in Tongxin, China, and $67,500 for the 18th century Golden Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan. An additional $62,169 will be spent on restoring a 19th century minaret in Mauritania's ancient city of Tichitt; $50,437 for the Sundarwala Burj, a 16th century Islamic Monument in New Delhi, and $15,450 to restore the 18th century Gobarau Minaret in Katsina, Nigeria.
The amount spent on mosque restoration projects is a fraction of the total in the 2010 Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, which also will fund projects to restore Christian and Buddhist sites as well as museums, forts and palaces.

Pelosi Suggests Probe of Funding Sources Behind Opposition to Mosque Near Ground Zero
"There is no question that there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some,"
Oh really Nancy ! and you and all your liberal ass clowns in the Democratic Party are not ?
When you support what we do not , you are just on the other side , Get it ?
You are also taking a position so who is funding you ?
At the same time, we should also ask who is funding the attacks against the construction of the center,'"
Nancy with all due respect , you are way out of touch with reality on this one !
And if any one knows how and from who to get "Funding" From , please let us Know we sure are Missing out !
Foxnews
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is suggesting a coordinated effort is behind the opposition to a proposed mosque and community center near Ground Zero, saying the whole dispute has been "ginned up" for political purposes and she supports a probe into those opponents.
Commenting publicly for the first time on the Park 51 project, Pelosi said the issue was posing a distraction and that some organized force is behind it.
"There is no question that there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some," she said in remarks posted Tuesday in a video on the San Francisco Chronicle website. "And I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque (is) being funded."
On Wednesday, Pelosi's office clarified that the speaker is not calling for a "congressional inquiry," though she still supports looking into the funding of the mosque's opponents as well as its patrons.
"I support the statement made by the Interfaith Alliance that 'We agree with the (Anti-Defamation League) that there is a need for transparency about who is funding the effort to build this Islamic center. At the same time, we should also ask who is funding the attacks against the construction of the center,'" she said.

Two Afghan suicide bombers killed in premature explosion
Purely Awesome , and so damn Funny .
Allah will not be pleased , and these numbnuts will not receive their virgins .

Barack Obama defends plans for Ground Zero mosque
"As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practise their religion as everyone else in this country.
Mr Obama , I believe everyone agrees with you , Muslims have the same right to "PRACTICE" their Religion !
But Practicing that Religion so close to Ground zero ,the Spot where 19 Militant Islamic ,radical, extremist Nutbags Decided to prove their point in the Name of Allah And the Holy Koran , which resulted in the Murders of Nearly 3000 Innocent Americans , IS JUST NOT RIGHT !
You sir are Misguided , Practicing religion Does not give you the right to slap people in the Face with it , which is all they are trying to do !
This shithole will be built , I'm sure of that , The Liberal assclowns will see to that ! and you can bet that the day that it opens their will be celebrations throughout the Muslim world , They will have achieved one of their greatest Conquests !
The Guardian.co.uk
The US president, Barack Obama, has defended controversial plans to build a mosque near the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York, saying to oppose them would be un-American.
Prominent Republicans have led protests against the construction of an Islamic cultural centre and mosque two blocks from the site of the former World Trade Centre. The proposed building would not be visible from Ground Zero.
Obama acknowledged that "sensitivities" surrounded the 9/11 site, which he described as "hallowed ground", but he said Muslims had the same right to practise their religion "as anyone else".
In a speech at a White House dinner celebrating Ramadan, he said: "As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practise their religion as everyone else in this country.
"That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community centre on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances.
"This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable."

Across Nation, Mosque Projects Meet Opposition
In all of the recent conflicts, opponents have said their problem is Islam itself. They quote passages from the Koran and argue that even the most Americanized Muslim secretly wants to replace the Constitution with Islamic Shariah law.
It will never Happen !
Not that Muslims don't want to , because we as a People will not let it happen !
A new trend is starting in New York , Construction workers are refusing to work on Mosques , Muslims may have the right to build but that does not mean that we have to cooperate !
Four years ago , Faced with working or not working , I had to work At a Mosque , Excuse me , " A Community center " , it happened that it fell on Fourth of July weekend , Actually on the third , to make it easier , I saved up some Pork chop bones , Two nice bones with a bit of meat were placed in a zip lock bag with a note from myself sealed also in a bag ! they were placed dead center and at the East end of their Prayer room ! others were distributed throughout their Kitchen !
It is all about the Little things in life !
And seeing as how the Muslim Douchebags never paid for the Work , I gloat in Knowing that the Muslims that pray their are kneeling and praying on a Concrete floor riddled with Pork !
The New York Times
While a high-profile battle rages over a mosque near ground zero in Manhattan, heated confrontations have also broken out in communities across the country where mosques are proposed for far less hallowed locations.
In Murfreesboro, Tenn., Republican candidates have denounced plans for a large Muslim center proposed near a subdivision, and hundreds of protesters have turned out for a march and a county meeting.
In late June, in Temecula, Calif., members of a local Tea Party group took dogs and picket signs to Friday prayers at a mosque that is seeking to build a new worship center on a vacant lot nearby.
In Sheboygan, Wis., a few Christian ministers led a noisy fight against a Muslim group that sought permission to open a mosque in a former health food store bought by a Muslim doctor.
At one time, neighbors who did not want mosques in their backyards said their concerns were over traffic, parking and noise — the same reasons they might object to a church or a synagogue. But now the gloves are off.
In all of the recent conflicts, opponents have said their problem is Islam itself. They quote passages from the Koran and argue that even the most Americanized Muslim secretly wants to replace the Constitution with Islamic Shariah law.
These local skirmishes make clear that there is now widespread debate about whether the best way to uphold America’s democratic values is to allow Muslims the same religious freedom enjoyed by other Americans, or to pull away the welcome mat from a faith seen as a singular threat.
“What’s different is the heat, the volume, the level of hostility,” said Ihsan Bagby, associate professor of Islamic studies at the University of Kentucky. “It’s one thing to oppose a mosque because traffic might increase, but it’s different when you say these mosques are going to be nurturing terrorist bombers, that Islam is invading, that civilization is being undermined by Muslims.”

Muslims to Rebuild World Trade Center ?
WTF ? is going on in our country , Fox news puts out a report that Saudi Arabia And the United Arab Emirates are on the list of top Bidders to rebuild ground Zero !
Not Much is being said about this and hopefully it does not go unnoticed .
No Muslim involvement of any kind should be used to rebuild the World Trade Center (The Freedom Tower ) and there should be no Mosques built anywhere near Ground Zero !
Foxnews
Fox News reports exclusively that a company owned by the royal families of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates is bidding to help build One World Trade Center. The hijackers who pulled off the Sept. 11 attacks primarily came from these two countries, and each nation has been linked to Al Qaeda. Should this company be allowed to bid on the WTC project?
84% of 15,000 polled so far Say it is not a good idea
Here is a nice article last month on ONE of the Two Mosques planned for the area surrounding Ground Zero and the meaning behind the name Cordoba and what it stands for in the Muslim world And the United States.
From Memri
"In these days, the issue of the Muslim decision to build a mosque near the place where the crime of the cowardly September 11 terrorist attacks took place has come up. We must note that a hostile and provocative name [Cordoba] has been chosen for this mosque. It is well known that the first Cordoba Mosque was built by Muslims in a city in Spain, after they occupied this Christian country, killing its men and capturing its women to bring them to Arab countries as slaves and servants to serve their sexual pleasure. The Arabs and Muslims have never ceased to take pride and bask in the glory of this imperialist history, which they consider to be a symbol of their strength and power, and they are unashamed of the fact that the annals [of their history] are full of shameful crimes.
"Today, it seems as though some Muslims in America are enamored of the dream of bringing back this ugly imperialist Muslim history, which is based on occupying peaceful peoples, on trying to force them to change their religious beliefs by the sword, on killing the men, and on abducting the women from their homes and bringing them to their own countries. Choosing the name 'Cordoba House' for the mosque to be constructed in New York was not coincidental or random and innocent. It bears within it significance and dreams of expansion and invasion [into the territory] of the other, [while] striving to change his religion and to subjugate him…

WTC mosque approved
A NYC community board has approved, 29-1, a mosque to be built at the WTC site. Even though, the vote isn't binding, this is still a massive travesty.
Don't the board members know that ALL of the 9/11 hijackers were muslim. I suppose if there was a proposal to build a church or a temple on the WTC site there would be massive protests and such.
NY Post
After four hours of public debate, members of Community Board 1 finally voted 29-1 in support of the project. Nine members abstained, arguing that they wanted to table the issue and vote at a later date.
The board has no official say over whether the estimated $100 million mosque and community center gets built. But the panel's support, or lack of it, is considered important in influencing public opinion.
"I do have a problem with having a mosque on top of the site where [terrorists] can gloat about what they did," said Santora, with his wife, Maureen, by his side.

New York's fury at plans for Ground Zero mosque
And the First flag has been Raised !
outlined area is the Proposed Mosque , Just two blocks from Ground Zero.
Mailonline
Outraged protesters are planning a massive rally to try to block plans to build a giant mosque near New York's Ground Zero.
Angry relatives claim the move is an ‘insult’ to the victims of the World Trade Centre atrocity.
The mosque is part of a proposed 13-storey Muslim community centre, which will include a swimming pool, gym, theatre and sports facilities.
The building, which was damaged by the fuselage of one of the hijacked planes, is at 45 Park Place - just two blocks from Ground Zero.
It formerly housed a Burlington Coat Factory store. The store's two selling floors were destroyed when the landing gear from one of the planes tore through them during the attacks.
Construction is due to begin on September 11 next year – the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attack.
A massive rally protesting the plans has been scheduled for June 6 as anger grows.
Rosemary Cain, whose fireman son was killed, said: ‘I think it’s despicable. That’s sacred ground. It’s a slap in the face.

Muslims in NYC Planning to Build Second, Smaller Mosque Near Ground Zero
In fact, the website appealing for donations boldly states that it plans to “build the 'House of Allah' next to the World Trade Center. Help us raise the flag of 'LA ILLAH ILLA ALLAH' in downtown Manhattan."
We can raise our own Flags too !
Foxnews
As controversy surrounds the construction of a 13-story mosque just two blocks from Ground Zero, FOX News has learned that an effort to place a second mosque close to the hallowed site in New York City is in its advanced stages.
The Masjid Mosque has raised $8.5 million and is seeking an additional $2.5 million to begin construction. While it apparently has not settled on a final location, it has told donors it plans to build very close to where 3,000 people were killed in the September 11 terror attacks.
In fact, the website appealing for donations boldly states that it plans to “build the 'House of Allah' next to the World Trade Center. Help us raise the flag of 'LA ILLAH ILLA ALLAH' in downtown Manhattan."
One source said he believed the planners are considering a five-story building on 23 Park Place, closer to Ground Zero than the 13-story mosque the Cordoba Initiative is planning to build. But a tax record search shows that 23 Park Place is in private hands and has not changed owners since 2008.
Unlike the massive $100 million Cordoba House mosque, the Masjid Mosque is small – and it is no stranger to the neighborhood. Since 1970 it had been located at 12 Warren Street, about four blocks north of the World Trade Center, in a neat but nondescript industrial space that once housed a printing shop. It lost its lease in 2008 when the building was sold, and it was evicted from its second-floor prayer space on May 25 of that year. Since then it has been operating out a cramped basement space in a nearby building at 20 Warren Street.
