	II Journal: The Motives of Memory: Commercializing the Jewish Past in Poland
		Tired of the traditional Muhajir stand which has usually revolved around fundamentalist support for a strong center and army and staunch opposition to India, many saw the MQM as a means of solving local issues that had been ignored by previous governments.
		The Muhajir case illustrates the often paradoxical and imagined nature of socio-political identities, and casts light on the importance of contingency and historicity in the understanding of ethnic politics and emergent nationalisms.
		For Muhajirs of all classes the state is increasingly viewed as a corrupt and repressive institution representing the interests of a Punjabi-dominated army and a Punjabi-Sindhi feudal elite.

	4GW: What the Muhajir Case Tells Us
		Muhajir was in Pakistan and the Mideast since 1998, and could easily have been slipped back into the US ahead of September 11, 2001.
		Muhajir should be sent immediately with no knowledge of that sub-plan, then informed of the pick-up arrangements if it was successful.
		Either Muhajir is not considered a very bright bulb and so needed a skilled leader who wasn't available, or he is a bright bulb but didn't have a good group of followers waiting for him until now.

	Viewpoint: Muhajir deserves trial - Opinion
		On May 8, Abdullah al Muhajir was arrested at Chicago O'Hare International Airport on allegations that he was plotting to build a radiological dispersal device with the assistance of al-Qaida.
		Muhajir's first contact with the justice system came in 1985 when he and a friend stabbed a man to death in a botched robbery.
		Muhajir's situation is troubling not only because of the circumstances of his confinement, but because his possible disillusionment with the American way of life carries more validity than Lindh's.

		Muhajir had a lawyer in New York but his access to a lawyer probably will be severely restricted now that he is in military custody, Johnson said.
		Muhajir first met with Abu Zubaydah in Afghanistan in 2001, and traveled to Pakistan at Abu Zubaydah's request, the official said, adding that he was one of a group that traveled with Abu Zubaydah to several locations in Pakistan.
		Muhajir also was interested in plans to bomb hotel rooms and gas stations in the United States, the official said.

	washingtonpost.com: Al Qaeda Suspect Enters Legal Limbo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Abdullah al Muhajir, the alleged al Qaeda associate suspected of plotting to set off a radioactive bomb in the United States, has entered a legal Twilight Zone in which few precedents are available for guidance, experts said yesterday.
		Al Muhajir cannot be tried before the kind of military tribunal that President Bush contemplated in his presidential order in November.
		The case that most closely resembles al Muhajir's is that of Yaser Esam Hamdi, 21, a Saudi student who was captured in Afghanistan last year and taken to the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba.

		Zayyat confirmed that Muhajir was among the circle of people who knew Zarqawi well and who had worked with him closely since 2001.
		Sunnis would welcome someone like Muhajir, especially the Sunni tribes, which played an important role in expelling Zarqawi from his former hiding place in Anbar, forcing him to seek refugee in the remote village where he was tracked down and killed by the Americans.
		The appointment of an unknown such as Muhajir would also give bin Laden the opportunity to assert control of the Iraqi insurgency, which was forcefully captured from him by Zarqawi from 2003.

	MUHAJIR FRAME-UP HIDES REAL TERRORISTS: WASHINGTON'S DEPLETED URANIUM "DIRTY BOMBS"
		Abdullah al Muhajir, a Puerto Rican Muslim from Chicago formerly known as Jose Padilla, is being accused of planning to build a radioactive "dirty bomb" to attack a U.S. city.
		Muhajir is being held without charges under the legal category of "enemy combatant," despite the fact that Congress has not declared war.
		But the very charge that Muhajir may have discussed the idea of unleashing a radioactive bomb is so ominous that it has silenced the U.S. corporate media and many civil rights organizations.

		Abdullah al Muhajir, 31, a former street gang member born in Brooklyn as Jose Padilla, was transferred late Sunday to a naval brig in South Carolina after President Bush designated him an "enemy combatant," according to Attorney General John Ashcroft.
		Al Muhajir had been under surveillance overseas by the CIA and FBI and was arrested May 8 at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport after arriving on a flight from Pakistan, U.S. officials said.
		Al Muhajir, who was detained for Pakistani immigration violations, was released and tricked into boarding a plane for the United States, where CIA and FBI operatives were watching his movements, several sources said.

		Ashcroft said Al Muhajir, 31, would be treated as an "enemy combatant" of the United States, a move that means he has fewer legal rights than an ordinary defendant in a criminal case.
		Al Muhajir is being held at the Consolidated Naval Brig in Charleston, South Carolina, according to Pentagon officials.
		Al Muhajir did not appear in court and an arrest warrant was issued in December 1997.

		It would be Muhajir's first public statement since being named the new leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq.
		Some analysts say Muhajir may be a nom de guerre for Egyptian militant Abu Ayyub al-Masri, who trained in Afghanistan, formed al-Qaeda's first cell in Baghdad and is sought by the US military as a Zarqawi aide.
		Muhajir also addressed part of his statement to al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden saying: "We await your signal and follow your orders, and we give you the good tidings that morale is high among your soldiers".

	The Importance of Aqeedah to the Sufis in light of an essay by Imdadullah Muhajir Makki > Chapter 1: Overview and ...
		In this essay, Imdadullah Muhajir Makki comments upon the Milaad gatherings, which are held to commemorate the birth of Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam).
		This essay by Imdadullah Muhajir Makki is an open witness to this attitude and is apparent in both the examples (Milaad and music).
		Haji Imdadullah Muhajir Makki’s advice to his followers is that (1) Milaad, (2) the gatherings, (3) the standing to greet Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) and (4) the belief that even after death Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) can attend multiple gathering at the same time are not innovations in themselves.

		Pakistani authorities detained Al Muhajir and two Pakistanis for "passport irregularities" in April and notified the FBI in Islamabad.
		Because Al Muhajir was a known associate of a terror group, officials said, the CIA was able to follow his movements despite laws prohibiting espionage against U.S. citizens.

		To date, al Muhajir has not been charged, but is being held in a South Carolina military brig as an "enemy combatant." Officials believe he has information that could help in the war on terror.
		Al Muhajir's undoing came as a result of information that interrogators obtained from Zubaida, who was captured in Pakistan March 28.
		In February, Muhajir walked into the U.S. consulate in Karachi, a lawless city of 14 million, where, according to sources in Pakistan, he reported his passport stolen and sought a replacement at a window reserved for American citizens.

	U.S. unable to confirm Muhajir in Qaeda Iraq audio - Boston.com
		Muhajir, an Egyptian who is also known as Abu Ayub al-Masri, assumed the leadership of al Qaeda in Iraq after the death of Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in June.
		Al Qaeda in Iraq this month has released two audio messages, and a videotape said to show a masked Muhajir, in what U.S. officials describe as a propaganda effort to show the militant network as a leading force in the Iraq insurgency.
		On Thursday, a man identified as Muhajir called for the kidnapping of Westerners to swap for jailed Egyptian cleric Omar Abdel-Rahman, who was convicted over a decade ago of conspiracy to carry out attacks on U.S. targets including the 1993 bombing of New York's World Trade Center.

		Abdullah Al Muhajir (born Jose Padilla), 31, was working in Fort Lauderdale in late 1992 when he asked his boss, Mohammad Javed Qureshi, about area mosques and Islam, Qureshi recalled Wednesday.
		Qureshi said company policy prohibited him from discussing religion in the workplace, so he told al Muhajir, a former Chicago gang member who was raised Roman Catholic, to consult the Yellow Pages to find a mosque.
		After his release, al Muhajir began using the name "Ibrahim" and studying the Quran at a mosque in Pembroke Pines from 1995 to 1997, said Maulana Shafayat Mohamed, the mosque's prayer leader.

		Attorney Donna Newman, who has been denied access to Al Muhajir since he was turned over to military custody and listed as "an unlawful combatant" on Sunday, said her former client is a U.S. citizen, with the right to counsel and the right to be charged by a grand jury.
		Al Muhajir is not considered a prisoner of war or entitled to legal protections under the Geneva Convention, unlike the U.S. treatment of uniformed enemy soldiers, government lawyers said.
		Al Muhajir's American citizenship was his greatest asset to al-Qaida, the officials say, adding that leaders of the terrorist network believed it would allow him to travel freely within the United States unnoticed.

	A military tribunal for al Muhajir? - Salon
		Al Muhajir, who was arrested May 8 and then held in secret, stands accused by the Justice Department of planning to build and detonate a "dirty" radioactive bomb at the behest of al-Qaida.
		Although the arrest and military detention of al Muhajir has civil libertarians concerned, not all constitutional law experts are as alarmed as Ratner.
		It's possible that the decision to hand al Muhajir over to the military may be a way to give interrogators more time with him: Even if he doesn't wind up before a military tribunal, designating him a "military combatant" could postpone his progress through the U.S. court system.

	TIME.com: The 'Dirty Bomb' Suspect: Lots of Questions, Few Answers -- Page 1
		Attorney General John Ashcroft announced al Muhajir had been captured a month ago, and was now being transferred out of the criminal justice system and into military detention — a move that raised legal eyebrows, since al Mujahir was an American citizen, born Jose Padillo in Brooklyn, NY, and was raised in Chicago.
		Officials suggest al Muhajir had approached Abu Zubaydah and other senior al-Qaeda leaders in Pakistan last December and suggested a dirty bomb attack in the U.S. They liked the fact that al Muhajir had a U.S. passport, and trained him in wiring explosives, while he did research on the Internet into radiological dispersion.
		An alternative explanation might be that they already knew al Muhajir was not the tip of some organizational iceberg, but rather a solo volunteer, like shoe-bomber Reid, sent on a mission al-Qaeda could claim if it succeeded but that would cause minimal organizational damage if he was captured.

	Phares on CTB: "al-Muhajir's audiotape: an important salad bowl"
		Yes indeed, the most striking part was al Muhajir's statements about the results of the midterms elections in the US, and his direct threat against the White House.
		al Muhajir praises the choices by the voters of the enemy to "defeat Bush." More interestingly, he uses and American vocabulary by calling the War "stupid." Usually Jihadists calls it evil or infidel and rarely qualify it in secular "electoral" terms.
		So, the Emir of al Qaeda in Iraq has pledged support to a regional "emir." Hence, the experts should be paying attention to the matter and watch for a transnational "Jihad chief" in the whole region.
