Police in Buenos Aires investigate Jaamat Tabligh

The Washington Times reports that police in Buenos Aires, Argentina, had briefly detained some Muslim missionaries of the Jaamat Tabligh for questioning. Here's what's facinating about the sect:
The sect, founded in India in the 1920s, preaches nonviolence and rejects all political involvement.

However, it advocates an ascetic lifestyle mimicking that of the prophet Muhammad in 7th century Arabia -- a similarity with al Qaeda and other Muslim terrorist groups.

It sends missionaries all over the world, and some Western-born militants -- such as American John Walker Lindh, who was captured by American troops in Afghanistan -- are said to have received their introduction to Islam from Jamaat Tabligh.
Very interesting. I doubt you'd see this being told in a paper like the NY Times. And that's one of the reasons why the Jaamat Tabligh shouldn't be underestimated when investigating the causes for terrorism. They may claim one thing, but they do quite the opposite.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
