Most Muslim extremists first radicalize their youth via sermon and brainwashing. One group, however, is skipping those steps and is taking the youngest of children right to the paramilitary route. But this group is not in Afghanistan or Iraq. No, it’s in Philadelphia, the so-called ‘City of Brotherly Love.’
The United Muslim Movement (UMM) was incorporated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in June 1994, with the goal of creating a central mosque in the city along with an organization that would be able to “respond to the social, economical, political, educational, and religious needs facing our [UMM’s] communities.” Less than four months later, in October 1994, its first mosque, the United Muslim Masjid, was opened.
The owner of the mosque property and the face behind UMM is music and real estate magnate Kenneth Gamble, a.k.a. Luqman Abdul Haqq.
In the mid-1970s, following a nervous breakdown over personal and professional troubles, Gamble began to turn to the Islamic religion, getting involved with such groups as the Nation of Islam (NOI). At the time, NOI was moving towards the leadership of Louis Farrakhan, a combative personality most known for his anti-white and anti-Jewish statements.
Today, Gamble is a member of the Board of Directors (Majlis ash-Shura) of the Muslim Alliance in North America (MANA), a Muslim Brotherhood-related group headed by Siraj Wahhaj, an “unindicted co-conspirator” of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Gamble has been involved with MANA’s leadership since the group was initially established as a national organization in April 2001, at the UMM mosque.
UMM has interests beyond the building of mosques. One of them deals with children’s activities – violence-based children’s activities.
Jawala Scouts or the Jawala Scout Youth Leadership Program, an Islamic paramilitary boys group, was incorporated in Philadelphia in August 2005. It was founded a short time before that.
The children joining Jawala Scouts are as young as seven years of age. This is disconcerting, when considering some of the activities of the group, which include hand-to-hand combat, firearms training and survival tactics. Photographs from the group’s official website show the kids dressed in military fatigues, hiking through the woods, and engaged in wrestling.
What makes things worse are the type of individuals linked to Jawala Scouts. One is Carlin Saafir, the Legal Officer and 1st Lieutenant of the scouts. Saafir is also the President of UMM, a member of the UMM Masjid’s Board of Directors (General Council), and the Joint Community Outreach Chair of the Philadelphia office of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), an entity affiliated with the terrorist organization Hamas.
The Registrant, Administrator and Technical Contact of Jawala’s site is Curtis De Veaux. In February 2005, De Veaux was suspended without pay from his job as a Philadelphia firefighter for refusing to shave his beard – deemed a security hazard – arguing that it was part of his being a devout Muslim.
The e-mail contact associated with the Jawala site, haqqone@hotmail.com, appears to be that of Kenneth Gamble. That would make sense, as the group registered its corporation using the same physical address as UMM, 800 S. 15th Street.
Another organization associated with Jawala Scouts is the Sankore’ Institute of Islamic-African Studies International (SIIASI), an anti-Western preservation society for rare African Muslim manuscripts. According to the Pittsburgh City Paper, SIIASI “started” the scout program.

Our government is weak and effete – we murder our boy babies with abortion/murder and call it "abortion", a good medical procedure that saves many lives. So we sit here and wait to be eaten by low savages who keep their babies – helpless, begging to be 'understood'. Oh if only those Catholic Crusaders who many times in history have saved us from the Muslims would return and take the matter of survival of civilization in hand again!
Henry, I for one, as a woman and a non-Christian, do not wish for crusaders or any religious army to take arms.
I wish for an army based on judeo-christian values to unite. Not religious, as I envision it is open to members of all religions, to unite and take arms against this death cult named Islam.
It's scary to think we could lose our freedom. It's even scarier to think of what this Muslim indoctrination is doing to the minds of young children, especially young American children. God help us to help ourselves and our children.
Sounds a lot like the boy scouts if you ask me.
Add this "boy scout" training to a hateful ideology, and voila! you have something entirely different.
It's extremely similar. The claims of teaching "hate" and "racism" and "anti-americanism" are all propaganda.
Who's afraid of the Boogaloo Scouts?
Are these kids supposed to run the Jews out of America? Ha, ha. Good LUCK.
No.
Look what I posted up there! why the hell doen't anyone comment on it? Do you like blabbering about almost nothing? Read it again and say some damn thing! Our government is weak and effete – we murder our boy babies with abortion/murder and call it "abortion", a good medical procedure that saves many lives. So we sit here and wait to be eaten by low savages who keep their babies – helpless, begging to be 'understood'.

I've worked with the Jawala scouts and it's leaders and have been in the community with them for years now. They aren't commiting terrorist acts of any kinds(and have not, ever), and they are teaching the children combat for self defense and discipline. The organization is also completely against terrorist acts. One thing I find interesting is the fact that when the american has a gun, he's ready to defend his country, "freedom", and "democracy". But when a muslim has a gun, he's automatically a terrorist. This article is a result of pure propaganda.
You are the same people who killed off thousands of Indians calling them savages, bombed Japan,recognized the kkk as a legitimate social group, make movies to glorify Al Capone and Billy the Kid. Look at the social and ecconomic condition of the USA WE HAVE FALLEN FROM GRACE NOT FROM THE HANDS OF ANYONE ELSE, WE ARE CAUSING OUR OWN DISTRUCTION BECAUSE WE COMPRIMISE VALUES FOR WEALTH.
You white people are crazy.
No one knows how many muslims are in the US but estimates from credible sources range from 2 to 7 million and over 1800 mosques many supposedly financed by Saudi Arabia. America is already over-populated and we surely don't need any more muslims. I agree fully with Ann Coulter that muslim immigrants do not assimilate into our culture but are attempting, with some success, inflicting their culture and sharia law upon America.
