ABSTRACT
In 2009, Imam Luqman Amin Abdullah was shot 20 times by FBI agents and mauled by their dog in Detroit. Abdullah was the imam of Masjid al-Haqq. Spied on for years for his activism in Masjid al-Haqq, the FBI alleged that Abdallah was a “radical, fundamentalist,” who was a member of al-Amin's National Umma. The state murder of Imam Luqman remains covered up with the collusion of the judicial system, which denied a series of requests for inquiries and investigations. Scholar-activists such as Angela Davis, Mark Neocleaous, Mariame Kaba, and Geo Maher show us that social and ideological systems protect white supremacist racial hierarchy, state power, the ruling classes, and capital accumulation and private property. Islamophobic pretexts permit anti-black racism to incubate, infiltrate and spread during a time that explicitly anti-black racism may be in violation of civil rights laws or the remaining legal provisions that prohibit arbitrary surveillance, or rules that violate the bar of admissible evidence.
