One of America’s most radical homegrown Islamist groups has opened two new centers focused on the “Zionist American” threat, a thinly-veiled reference to the group’s anti-Semitic and anti-American message. Under the leadership of extremist Abdul Alim Musa, the Sabiqun organization has tried to blur the line between attacking Jews and criticizing Israel, as well as striking out against America.
“For 30 years, Masjid Al-Islam [Sabiqun’s mosque] has been carrying on a direct, face-to-face struggle against the monolithic Zionist American regime,” Abdul Alim Musa said in an “Urgent Appeal” to support the new “Islamic Institute of Counter Zionist American Psychological Warfare (IICZAPW).”
“We are an anti-Zionist American psycho-guerrilla warfare movement, the appeal said. “We use all available tools found in our environment in exposing the anti-Islamic, anti-human policies of this Zionist American system.”
Other flyers explain that the IICZAPW’s primary goal is “to counter the concerted efforts of the enemies of Islam to sustain a false characterization of Islam and Muslims as a dangerous threat to global stability and tranquility.” That mission has already led Sabiqun to deny the involvement of Islamist terrorists in 9/11 and to characterize the acts of Hamas and Hizballah as a justified war on Jews. The Institute is the group’s primary project to keep its movement going, after the loss of several branches in California.
As part of its ideology, Sabiqun and the IICZAPW are also actively preparing for the death of the United States. Sabiqun, which currently runs two active mosques in D.C. and Oakland, espouses a self-reliant and anti-assimilation ideology that appeals to its community of poor African-American converts.
“It seems that the once all-powerful USA could suffer a global stroke sometime during the 2020s or even sooner,” said a flyer promoting an IICZAPW event called “The Decline and Fall of the American Empire” Sunday in Washington.
“We view America’s decline as a global power as a present reality,” it reads. “Should we not prepare for its fall?”
The flyer shows much of Sabiqun’s core ideology. The beginning of America’s fall didn’t start with George Bush, the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan, or the 2003 war in Iraq. Rather, the group believes the rise of Iran in the 1979 revolution illustrates the ability of a dedicated group of “Islamic workers” to collapse non-Muslim governments.
The new centers in Washington and Oakland are designed to raise the group’s profile and counter its decline. The goal is to train a new generation of the movement’s ideologues and expand the group’s presence, “to analyze the Zionist grip on humanity established via the media and economics.”
