no freedom for Freedom
The FBI has a new target — the Filipino Community. There are Al-Qaeda-linked terrorist cells in the Philippines, which isn’t news, but the feds are now targeting Filipino activists in northwestern US as supspected terrorists.
On October 4, Freedom Allah Siyam, a Seattle Filipino activist changed his name from Gotcho Cupp in 1998, had feds come to his house and question his mom with a long list of names of suspected terrorists. The wife of political emcee Geologic of the Blue Scholars was also on the list. Siyam isn’t even Muslim; he put Allah in his new name because it’s Arabic for God and he wanted to “keep God to [his] goals and aspirations.”
According to the news report:
In 2005, a family friend told Siyam that he’d been questioned by Homeland Security agents who’d asked whether Siyam was leading troops of youths into the Philippines to convert them into anti-American Muslims.
