US charges six with aiding Pakistani Taliban

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?

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.

Imam entangled in terrorism case deported

Takiyya means "caution, fear, or disguise." It permits the suspension, as the need arises, of almost any or all religious requirements--including a total denial of faith--when fearing threat, injury or compulsion of any kind in a non-Muslim society, or even in a Muslim society.

Muhammad said: "Lying is wrong, except in three things: the lie of a man to his wife to make her content with him; a lie to an enemy, for war is deception; or a lie to settle trouble between people" [Ahmad, 6.459. H]

"If you [Muslims] are under their [infidels'] authority, fearing for yourselves, behave loyally to them, with your tongue, while harboring inner animosity for them. … Allah has forbidden believers from being friendly or on intimate terms with the infidels in place of believers — except when infidels are above them [in authority]. In such a scenario, let them act friendly towards them." Regarding 3:28,

NEW YORK - An imam who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI during the investigation into a suicide bomb plot against New York City subway stations has been deported.

The lawyer for Ahmad Afzali (AKH'-mahd ahf-ZAH'-lee) says Afzali and his wife left on a Saudi Arabian Airlines flight to Jeddah on Monday afternoon. Two immigration agents accompanied him to the plane to ensure he got on. Afzali's lawyer says some of Afzali's last words on U.S. ground were: God bless America.'

Afzali's wife Fatima got a position teaching English in Saudi Arabia. Afzali isn't quite sure what he's going to do there. The Afghanistan-born imam has lived most of his life in Queens.

He was sentenced April 15 to time served and deportation. Najibullah Zazi pleaded guilty in plot disrupted by federal and NYPD officials.
