The leader of an Islamofascist terrorist cell in Detroit whose goal is to establish an Islamic state inside the United States was shot and killed when he fired at FBI agents during a raid this afternoon. Unfortunately, an FBI police dog was also shot and killed (hat tip – garycooper),
The Detroit leader of a nationwide fundamentalist Islamic group was fatally shot during a series of FBI raids Wednesday afternoon.
The FBI arrested 10 people who have ties to the group called the Ummah, which translates to “the brotherhood.”
The group’s primary mission is to establish a separate sovereign Islamic state governed by Sunni law, according to FBI charging documents. Luqman Ameen Abdullah, 53, called his followers to an offensive jihad, rather than a defensive jihad.
During the raid, Abdullah, aka Christopher Thomas, fired his weapon, said the FBI in a release. An FBI police dog was shot during the gunfire.
The dog was transported via helicopter to an animal hospital in Madison Heights, but despite the rescue efforts, the dog died.

The nationwide leader is believed to be Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rapp Brown. He is currently serving a life sentence in prison for the murder of two police officers in Georgia.
Abdullah Al-Amin preaches violence against law enforcement officials and has trained members of the Ummah inside of a mosque located on Joy Road how to use firearms, martial arts, sword fighting and other types of self defense in anticipation of government violence, according to the FBI.
Undercover agents in the organization have told the FBI that Abdullah used to discipline its members starting at an early age by beating them with sticks on their hands, knees and legs and once he beat a little boy so badly that the child was unable to walk for several days.
In October of 2008, a source the FBI called “credible” recorded statements by Abdullah at a mosque during prayer where he said that Muslims need to cut ties with Christians, Jews, and Kuffars, which the FBI said means all non-muslims.
“Obama is a Kafir. McCain is a Kafir, all the rest of them Kuffars, are Kuffars…. The worst Muslim is better than the best Kafir,” said FBI documents.
It’s a shame about the FBI dog, but at least no humans were hurt.
The story notes that these guys are converts who took the plunge while in prison. I don’t know about you, but this sort of shakes my boundless confidence in the peacefulness and tolerance of Islam.
Najibullah Zazi, the Denver man believed to be the central figure in a terror plot against the New York City transit system, has officially been indicted on charges of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction against persons or property in the United States, CBS 2 has learned.
