Islamic fundamentalists have poured money into America's
black communities in an effort that has brought more than a million
U.S. African Americans over to the one true faith.66    While  most  of
these converts remain peaceful, Al-Fuqra, a predominantly African-
American Islamic group under the leadership of Pakistani Sheikh
Mubarak Ali Jilani Hashemi, has declared a jihad in North America,
and, according to law enforcement agencies, has been involved in
bombings, murders and other forms of bloodshed in Colorado,
Arizona, Pennsylvania and Canada.  It has been reported that Al-Fuqra
also had a hand in the 1993 effort to blow up New York's United
Nations building, the city's FBI headquarters, and its Holland and
Lincoln Tunnels.67
When the Iranians declared a death-sentence on British author
Salman Rushdie, black American imams everywhere from Brooklyn to
Los Angeles enthusiastically supported the move.  (So did the Moslem
head of UCLA's Middle Eastern Studies Department.)  Even a loyal
African-American Gulf War veteran, won over to Allah in 1991, stated
after his change in faith that "soon it [Islam] will take over all of
America, then the world."68
The U.S. African-American community is only a beachhead.

point of view.  The Saudis and America's Christian fundamentalists
battled in the early '90s for the right to purchase America's second
largest wire service, UPI.  Ultimately, the Arabs won.  In addition,
Amal Adam, the former head of Saudi Arabia's equivalent of the CIA,
was the primary backer of a British-based firm called Capcom, whose
chief officers were the heads of TCI (Telecommunications
Incorporated), America's largest player in the cable television game.  In
1993, TCI made headlines when it came within a hair's breadth of
merging with Bell/Atlantic.  Had the effort succeeded, it would have
formed what financial analysts universally heralded as one of the
  eeping elections, manipulating generals, funding insurrections,
