US police say 11 children rescued from ‘extremist’ men at ‘filthy’ hideout

AFP5 Aug 20182Los Angeles (AFP) – Police say 11 children ages one to 15 were rescued in the US state of New Mexico after officers raided a dilapidated compound occupied by armed men of “extremist” belief.


Two men were arrested after police found them and the children in what one officer called “the saddest living conditions and poverty I have seen,” as part of the operation connected to a months-long search for an abducted three-year-old, according to New Mexico’s Taos County sheriff’s office.


The investigation kicked off late last year on the opposite side of the country in Jonesboro, Georgia, where 39-year-old Siraj Wahhaj of the state’s Clayton County was accused of kidnapping his toddler — who was ultimately not found.


The boy’s mother told police her child, who she said suffered from seizures along with developmental and cognitive delays, went to the park with his father Wahhaj last December and never returned.


On August 2, Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe of Taos County in New Mexico issued a search warrant describing “a makeshift compound surrounded by tires and an earthen berm” in a subdivision in the rural community of Amalia, where Wahhaj along with adult Lucas Morten were thought to be in hiding.


The FBI had provided information and surveillance on the spot but “didn’t feel there was enough probable cause to get on the property,” Hogrefe said.


“That all changed for me when a message was forwarded to us from a Georgia Detective that we reasonably believed came from someone at the compound — the message sent to a third party simply said in part ‘we are starving and need food and water,’” the sheriff said in a statement.


“I absolutely knew that we couldn’t wait on another agency to step up and we had to go check this out as soon as possible.”


The sheriff described planning “a tactical approach for our own safety because we had learned the occupants were most likely heavily armed and considered extremist of the Muslim belief.”


– ‘Heartbreaking’ –


On the morning of August 3, a dozen officers kicked off the “all day” operation, discovering hidden beneath New Mexico’s scrubland the two men with an AR-15 rifle, five loaded 30-round magazines and four loaded pistols, including one in Wahhaj’s pocket.


The men had refused to follow verbal direction, police said, who added the raid went without major incident or injuries even as Wahhaj needed to be “taken down.”


Police found many more ammo rounds in the ramshackle hideout, they said, which they described as “a small travel trailer buried in the ground covered by plastic with no water, plumbing, or electricity.”


“The only food we saw were a few potatoes and a box of rice in the filthy trailer,” Hogrefe said. “But what was most surprising, and heartbreaking was when the team located a total of five adults and 11 children that looked like third world country refugees.”


“Not only with no food or fresh water, but with no shoes, personal hygiene and basically dirty rags for clothing.”


Morten was charged with harboring a fugitive and Wahhaj was booked without bond on his Georgia warrant for child abduction.


Three women thought to be parents of the children — who are now in protective custody — were also detained for questioning. They were released pending further investigation.

Good job Sheriff. Who are these people?

Kids found in rags in New Mexico amid tale of guns, exorcism

The Associated Press6 Aug 2018ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A raid on a New Mexico desert compound turned up 11 children wearing rags and living in filth, and also broke open a bizarre tale of guns, exorcismsand a search for a missing young boy who suffers from seizures and is nowhere to be found.



The boy’s father was among five people arrested after the raid near the border with Colorado, and documents made public in a court filing Monday said the father told the boy’s mother before fleeing Georgia that he wanted to perform an exorcism on the child because he believed he was possessed by the devil.


Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe said deputies arrested the father, Siraj Ibn Wahhajm, and four other adults on child abuse charges after also finding the 11 children inside a filthy makeshift compound in the tiny community of Amalia littered with “odorous trash” and lacking clean water.


Washaj’s son Abdu-ghani, who was 3 when he disappeared last December, was not among the children found but Hogrefe said authorities have reason to believe the boy was at the compound several weeks ago.


Hogrefe’s deputies are searching for the child, along with the FBI and Georgia authorities in Clayton County, where officials say the boy was living before his father took him around Dec. 1, 2017.


The boy’s mother told authorities the boy suffers from seizures, cannot walk to due to severe medical issues, and requires constant attention.


She told police in December that Wahhaj had taken the boy for a trip to a park and never returned.


Clayton County police said in a missing persons bulletin that Wahhaj and his son were last seen Dec. 13 in Alabama, traveling with five other children and two adults.


Georgia authorities said Wahhaj was traveling through Chilton County Dec. 13 with seven children and another adult when their car overturned. Wahhaj told police the group was traveling from Georgia to New Mexico to go camping.


The trooper who wrote the report said he found no camping equipment in or near the vehicle but that Wahhaj was in possession of three handguns, two rifles, a bag of ammunition and a bulletproof vest.


It was not immediately known Monday whether Wahhaj and the others charged in the child abuse case in New Mexico —another man and three women believed to be the mother of the 11 children — had retained attorneys. The public defender’s office in Taos County did not immediately return telephone message from The Associated Press seeking comment.


The Taos County sheriff identified the women facing charges as Jany Leveille, 38-year-old Hujrah Wahhaj and 35-year-old Subhannah Wahha. They were arrested in the town of Taos and booked into jail.


A message that people were starving, believed sent by someone inside the compound, led to the discovery of the children ranging in age from 1 to 15. They were removed from the compound and turned over to state child-welfare workers.


The search at the compound came amid a two-month investigation in collaboration with Clayton County authorities and the FBI, according to Hogrefe.


He said FBI agents surveilled the area a few weeks ago but did not find probable cause to search the property.


That changed when Georgia detectives forwarded a message to Hogrefe’s office that initially had been sent to a third party, saying: “We are starving and need food and water.”


What authorities found was what Hogrefe called “the saddest living conditions and poverty” he has seen in 30 years on the job.


Other than a few potatoes and a box of rice, there was little food in the compound, which Hogrefe said consisted of a small travel trailer buried in the ground and covered by plastic with no water, plumbing and electricity.


Hogrefe said the adults and children had no shoes, wore dirty rags for clothing and “looked like Third World country refugees.”

TAOS, N.M. — The Latest on 11 children found living in a filthy makeshift compound in New Mexico (all times local):
2:45 p.m.
The grandfather of a missing Georgia boy has issued a plea for help.


Imam Siraj Wahhaj of Brooklyn, New York, posted a message on Facebook asking for help in finding his grandson, Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj.


Authorities in New Mexico arrested the boy's father, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, on Friday.


He is one of five adults taken into custody on child abuse charges after authorities found them at a dilapidated compound with 11 children who were hungry and living in filthy conditions. Abdul-Ghani was not among them.


Police say the child was reported missing from Georgia on Dec. 10. The boy's mother told police he left with his father for a trip to a park and never returned.


In a federal court filing in 2006, Wahhaj claimed he was harassed on his way to and from Morocco by customs agents at JFK Airport in New York because he is "the son of the famous Muslim Imam Siraj Wahhaj."


http://www.startribune.com/the-lates...ama/490161121/

But why is having Siraj Wahhaj as a “mentor” controversial?


It is controversial because Wahhaj appeared on a list of unindicted co-conspirators in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings.


A report on Wahhaj by The Investigate Project on Terrorism notes:

“Wahhaj provided testimony during the trial to defend the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel-Rahman, the former leader of the Egyptian terrorist organization, Gama’a al-Islamiyya. Rahman was found guilty of “conspiracy to murder President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt,” “solicitation to attack a military installation,” and of bombing conspiracy related to a plot to bomb the New York FBI headquarters along with tunnels and other landmarks. During Wahhaj’s testimony, he called the Sheik a “respected scholar,” also calling him “bold, as a strong preacher of Islam.”
In addition to these ties, Wahhaj has made extremist statements while lecturing at the Islamic Association of Northern Texas. In November of 1991, Wahhaj advocated the establishment of an Islamic State in the U.S.”

Following the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles, Wahhaj gave a sermon in which he advocatedfor armed Jihad in streets for the benefit of Islam.

“We don’t need to arm the people with 9mms and Uzis. You need to arm them with righteousness first. And once you arm them with righteousness first, then you can arm them (with weapons).”


“Even if we go to war, brothers and sisters — one day we will, believe me — that’s why you’re commanded (to fight in) jihad.”

Wahhaj has also stated that Muslims should “get involved in politics because politics are a weapon to use in the cause of Islam.”


We can see now that Sarsour has been a glowing mentee. Sarsour, who is being groomed as a leader of the Democratic Party, has worked hard to promote Islam and Sharia law in America.
Sarousr has describing Sharia as “reasonable” and uses utopian terms to promote Sharia.

Siraj Wahhaj on non-Muslims, Adultery and Theft

Posted on February 11, 2017
Islamist Watch, by David M. Swindle • Feb 11, 2017
We have recently published two compilations of sermons by the Islamist cleric Siraj Wahhaj, one of the most popular preachers at some of American Islam’s biggest conferences.


One features his views on jihad, which can be found here; and another exhibits his hatred of homosexuality, which can be found here.


Now, we have put together a compilation of his sermons on adultery, theft and hatred of non-Muslims. He is frank about his views: stone to death adulterers; chop off the hands of thieves; lashes for people who drink; do not be intimate with “those outside your race”; and non-muslims are “foul and corrupting.”


The sermons illustrate, once again, the extremism of the Islamist clerics preaching to thousands all across America.

Do you understand what they’re doing, brothers and sisters? Do you understand what these devils who control the media are doing? Enticing you, exciting you? Exciting your children, your boys and your girls? So, by the time they go to junior high school, everything is all showing, and they want to get involved because everywhere you look in this society they encourage you to do zina [fornication or adultery]. Why? Because they’re being controlled by Shaytan [Satan]. This society, America, wallahi azeem. America is controlled by Shaytan. American government is controlled by Shaytan. American way of life is controlled by Shaytan. It is. Oh yes, it is. Definitely. No doubt about it.


…
The word in Qu’ran, zina, means either fornication or adultery. If you commit zina and you’re single, the punishment in Islam is 100 lashes. If you commit zina and you’re married, the punishment is death by stoning—capital punishment. What you read in Qu’ran is the punishment for fornication, but the punishment for married and committing zina is death by stoning. You know how angry Allah is by the degree of his punishment for breaking a law. Allah is angry at you when you steal. He sees you. Punishment, chop off the hand. He’s angry. When you drink, Brother, punishment? Lashes. You take drugs? Punishment? Lashes.
…
So, Allah is angry. Punishment for adultery, zina, brother? Serious. Death by stoning.

Woe to the Muslims who pick kafirs [non-Muslims] for friends. Woe, woe, woe to the Muslims who take kafirs as friends. Kafir will take you away from the remembrance of Allah.
…
Take not into your intimacy those outside of your race. They will not fail to corrupt you. Don’t you know our children are surrounded by kafirs. I’m telling you, making the hearts of our children corrupt, dirty, foul. It’s clear, the principles are clear. Birds of a feather, they say, flock together. And so, when our Muslims hang out with the non-Muslim, you become just like them. You talk just like them. You do what they do, you dress the way they dress, you act the way they act, you want to be just like them, because their hearts are corrupt, and now they’re corrupting your heart.

The thief, the one who steals, man or woman, male or female, chop off their hands. If they steal, chop off their hands. This is a commandment of Allah, subhanahu wa ta’ala.
…
And you know what, believe me, you chop off enough hands, all the people will get the example. And the people say, well, I’d better not do that, if I don’t feel like getting my hands chopped off. This is an example from Allah, subhanahu wa ta’ala. He is – Al Aziz, Al Ḥakim – powerful and he is wise.
