And i can never. Reach you is a really tight knit neighborhood Everybody Knows everybody else are doing documentary i. Couldnt move that started in the ninetys till now so in the side of the army we need to do that in oregon it has been my children. I thought a lot of people in my neighborhood have stories about being watched but most of them are afraid to talk out loud about it especially when theres a camera around ok no worries i think if i want to talk to you know. We got some bread you know interview. Come this way if you think it an angel a little bit more but a bit more yeah right there and the damn car is always right there. Its like how you see in the movie as i post peeps a fan that are just sitting staked out from your house when you pass the van by like they pull up of most or have bags they act like theyre not in the car but we can see them you know. They would take on an aisle at the corner so they watch all the area. So what coder steps right next to go to the computer and going through it. Should do a movie due respect their home is in grave good. No spot on it. Was time he saw a car bomb it was before with me. Every time i went for the groceries i saw the car i would have top of the kid this other car and be kind of thought that the house was but to the somebody was looking into the house all the time you could. Feel like someone stressed invading your life you know. I have the feeling that there is a camera there is something watching you dont feel free you dont feel safe. But i remember how it felt to just know that im free my home this is my home its just starts at a house but to me. Its become to the point where i would call the labor cross the street of her support the learn to say this or that over the car like that. Its not your home its crazy do you think youre paranoid no the. No im not im not not i dont know i just think everything is its happening its going on and its its in real life its not an imagination is not paranoia be. Be. Rich you mosque leaders have been under surveillance for years indictments may be forthcoming. The f. B. I. Has had problems going into the mosque during the week they have people out on the corners doing countersurveillance its a very insular community. A decade old federal investigation. So since 93. 00 b. The. Federal authorities are investigating the Mosque Foundation in bridgeview and its leaders for possible involvement and terribly did move on to the house of worship one of the largest Islamic Centers in chicago has been under f. B. I. Surveillance for years. When we found this article it was one of the 1st confirmations for me at least that there was this surveillance that was going on for 911 you know nobody thought anyone was building bombs in the basement but what they did thing was that there was money being funneled through supposedly legitimate charities. 2 hamas 2 has for the most part almost all of these investigations and without any indictments and the ones that did result in indictments were for things like tax fraud so you were getting a lot of wall when you were trying to guess because obviously as a journalist you want to know ok well guessing these things well then why what is right why what is it based on and time and again the actual legal argument that was presented was to even discuss the reasons for doing what we are doing would violate National Security. Since august of 9099 ive been working to legally expose the very real forseeable middle eastern terrorist threats to american citizens at home and abroad. The successful investigation which was told me vulgar betrayal vu l. G. A. Our betrayal. To the 998. 00 seizure of 1400000. 00 of middle eastern terrorists funding. d the goals of this investigation include identifying organizations involved in the Money Laundering conspiracy and tax from. The lowest is here and these are the major muslim organizations in America Today so basically they thought all these mosques and charities for just one big front cover for terrorism. I mean with such justification for this. This is the order saying in june of 98. 00 were going to seize that assets of an organization and a person and one of the things they seize was the house i lived at so thats whats wanted out here. Syrias neighbor was the 1st american citizen ever designated a terrorist and we were neighbors living downstairs from him at the time. In a middle class suburb of Chicago Living in this house a man the u. S. Government calls a designated global terrorist his name Mohammad Salaam and b c news caught him purine out the window this weekend. That guy peering out the window of his own house. Thats how much. Hes publicly known as the 1st american citizen ever put on the terrorist watch list but i knew him best as im a dad my big hearted upstairs neighbor. Was a trusted man in our community when there was a humanitarian crisis in palestine in the ninetys our mosque sent him to the west bank with thousands of dollars in donations in the Israeli Occupied west bank today 2 american citizens of palestinian descent are being held without charge in any Israeli Military prison while the government here describes the 2 chicagoans as agents for the fundamentalist group hamas they have not been charged with a crime nor have they been allowed to see you know turney when he was arrested by the israelis accused of collecting money for terrorism our community took to the streets to protest his arrest. While in israeli the tension meant to us tortured and forced to sign a confession in hebrew a language he didnt speak. The information collected by israeli agents during interrogation was sent to f. B. I. Agents in chicago and became one of the foundations for the vulgar betrayal investigation so law a naturalized u. S. Citizen was convicted in israel but after 5 years in prison there he was allowed to return to the u. S. Despite protests from the lead f. B. I. Agent on the case who says so law remains a threat he and a number of others should have been arrested should be behind bars should have their citizenship stripped should have been defected from this country here you see the old saw about a shoulder. Yes to it that guilty verdict of being a chair restore going to say it didnt matter that abu ahmed was found not guilty in court it didnt matter that the government eventually removed his name from the terrorist watch list once youre labeled a terrorist that red paint never really comes off. Can you talk to me a little bit about the investigation that you worked on that the very large one the name of the state was called polgar betrayal there was a. Individual who was targeted that mohammad salada he was ultimately convicted of a very very minor offenses and i didnt try to tease that or you up thats right you left there 2000 yeah ok and do you think that this long investigation was justified. If there are had been crimes uncovered ah or crimes prosecuted that would have been justified. If the reason nothing ever came of the investigation because there was indeed nothing they are then i mean its not a matter be justified the f. B. I. Declines cases all the time of your stretch of squads because all the times are just out of evidence. But if youre i think your person would. Want to go deeper in that you are you trying to say you think the investigation you know was as a result of. Islamophobia or prejudice. Susan i do not think that certainly was not my world view certainly certainly is not. And had i ever thought that that was what was happening i would have not been part of it because that is not obviously who i am maybe not so obvious with his new idea of i mean even if its a bigger question here which it is or is are. Islamic for we are in this country of course the murders its really f. B. I. Well i cant see very much. Justice these are documents so i found a 1000 pages of declassified f. B. I. Documents. About an investigation they were doing in chicago in the ninetys called operation while going to try out one of the most interesting documents on june 9th 1008. 00 the assets of blink were 50 percent to warrants based on civil forfeiture complaint filed in the United States court rather than district of 09 so im june 9th 1908 we lived in that house that was seized by the f. B. I. So mama gotta tell your story well let us take shopping Something Like this when we came and we always saw this bunch of woman in men in suits or in the car with you i think yeah i was whats going on like i wasnt aware and i was just so your father was on the b. A and b i there were just 4 seemed dollars Something Like these are part of the breeding i was so what they are doing said the attic people over the. City out of the. Your father told me he said always thought of maybe would be. Without home life without a home in this so we have to think about having the and all the apartment of this and that which is documented in these f. B. I. Documents basically led to us living in this house. The. I want to find out everywhere that our name is on a list and theres a way to do that you can find a privacy waiver and i can submit it to the f. B. I. And tell them anywhere your names exist to release. If. You will think. It was. The real. Dear mr know a this is in response here remember racial progress basement mission or provided we conducted a search of the records system we were unable to identify main file records responsive to the for you know be linear acknowledgment of such records existence or nonexistence wouldnt of itself trigger harm to National Security be please be advised that unusual circumstances applied to the processing of your requests to be heard by is that their records were not in their expected location i could not be located after a reasonable search. Therefore we are closing your custom and strictly. To be exact how many different ways they have sent me rejection letters they dont have things that i know exist that i know where they are. The. Sort 2 days ago. I got a letter from the f. B. I. You know like these letters that weve been getting lately. Dearman spandau a this is in reference here freedom of information act requests on operation of all can be trailed the federal bureau of investigation has located approximately 33120 pages of records. 33120 pages of record. Just the amount of information you have to collect about people to get to 33000 is enormous and knowing like the end result knowing that these 33000 pages of records never resulted in convicting anyone of terrorism. Its shocking just the number i can imagine within the. Theres a Mosque Foundation bridge we have to see it see 1st thing that he was throwing his cigar go yeah wow what a shock and fear already know much enough when we get into the most how does you know talk a mosque your dad was eager to be thought of me when i can he was you know will continue on expecting about it a holistic ph the towel to theres no desire yet like it was a temporary thing yeah. I was having because i was close to the last and you know i have a lot of. Problems. In 1980 when my little brother and the 5th kid in our family was born my father decided that we should move to a bigger house and bridge view. While the new house was being built and my dad was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. And a few months after we moved in he was gone. I remember for weeks after he died my house was full of Family Friends and neighbors cooking and cleaning and keeping my mother company. At my fathers funeral hundreds of people from around chicago came to the mosque the community to make a donation in memory of my father to help pay off the remainder of our mortgage. In less than an hour the community donated more than 200000. 00. We paid off our home and 1000 years later were still here. Its really easy for me to talk about my family in my community but its a lot harder to talk about myself. I feel like i cant even begin to tell you who i am without getting into who i am not. I was 10 years old when i became aware that everyone looks at us like were all a bunch of terrorists. It started with cartoons all the bad guys in the movies had accents like my parents i had to diffuse but i got we kids were constantly bombarded with images of arabs and muslims as radical backwards violence villains. And so i became aware of how others see me and i learned how not to come off to people not a terrorist not an alien not a traitor. Dont talk too loud in arabic at the mall dont argue with your parents in public dont talk with an accent dont fail in school dont ever break t
