Obama Cracks Down On Islamic Mosques?
In a surprising move that provoked anger and outrage in the Muslim community, the Feds (on orders of the Obama administration) raided and seized four U.S. mosques and a Fifth Avenue skyscraper owned by a nonprofit Muslim organization long suspected of being secretly controlled by the Iranian government on Thursday [link].
The feds also seized a building that houses the Islamic Education Center of Houston. The news sparked outrage among Houston’s Shia Muslims, who worshiped there and sent their children to an Islamic school in the building.
This action comes one week after a home grown Islamic terrorist opened fire on Fort Hood soldiers killing 13 and wounding 48. The federal seizures seem out of character for terrorist sympathizer Barack Obama who made it known from his first day in office whose side he was on.
According to the AP, it is extremely rare for U.S. law enforcement authorities to seize a house of worship, as such action might violate the First Amendment right to freedom of religion. Federal prosecutors filed a civil complaint in federal court against the Alavi Foundation, seeking the forfeiture of more than $500 million in assets.

Do they have buddhist Mosques? I’m just asking?
lol @ dblaq!
Thank You Sandra for speaking for the muslim community
as a muslim am I angered by this? um…no am I outraged by this…um…no.
I briefly read (which means that I haven’t investigated further) that the White House has classified information on the Ft. Hood attack that prompted that action.
Sandra, as you have always asserted — it appears that Hasan hasn’t just an unhinged soldier.
They have been monitoring this particular TOWER and the Alavi group for over a year about their alleged ties with Iran…I don’t think it has anything to do with Hasan…
Besides, I know you’re not really aware of what Islam is about and all but this is a Shia organization Sandra…
