Faith of choice of the Miami terrorists, the Moorish Science Temple is the forerunner of the Nation of Islam. Its central tenant is the belief that all blacks were originally Muslim. Its founder, Noble Drew Ali, had as disciples Wallace Fard Muhammad, founder of the Nation of Islam, and Fard's successor in the NOI, Elijah Muhammad. Elijah Muhammad employed Malcolm X as the NOI's spokesman.
If the Miami terrorists are convicted, they will likely go to the Supermax, where they find another of their brethren awaiting them: big-boy terrorist Clement Rodney Hampton-el, also known as Dr. Rashid.
Luckily for them, Timothy McVeigh is the gold standard in homegrown terrorism. "Fools" taking oaths to al Qaeda doesn't impress local newspapers.
I wonder what the papers would have made of McVeigh if he'd been caught during the planning stage of the Oklahoma City bombing. This is the guy, after all, who thought the government had planted a microchip in his buttcheek under guise of giving him a gamma globulin shot. I think the media has already decided these men are harmless kooks entrapped in a sting.

UPDATE:
Some freckle-faced kooks stung.
Typical socialist stance. Poor pitiful underlings - never got their chance in the sun - OF COURSE - the MSM is REQUIRED to have them entrapped!

I can't wait for "Law & Order" to do an episode on them. They'll be neo-Nazis by then.
Poor southern woman on the net. They could not and are not active members of the Moorish Science Temple. They are the Seeds of David which is a direct contradiction to Moorish Science. Studying Al Islam which is a direct contradiction to Moorish Science. They have affiliated themselves to Hislam which is a direct contradiction to moorish science. Ch 8 of the Moorish Koran When man honors man he honors Allah, what man does for man he does for allah andyou must bear in mond that when man harms another man in word, thought or deed he does a wrong to Allah, Assist the poor help the weak do harm to know and covet what is not yours and with your tongue the holy one will speak he will smile behind your tears.
