The FBI arrested some men in Miami who were considering an assault on the Sears Tower.
Why would people in Miami want to blow something up in Chicago? Don't they have anything of their own to blow up?
But one of the men is from Chicago. And the kooky religion they claim to practice, the Moorish Science Temple of America, is headquartered here too. It's little known, but it's a direct forerunner of the the Black Muslim movement. Moorish Science has a militant side and emphasizes the learning of martial arts.
Some Muslims in the news today were denouncing them as cult members.
You know, "cult" used to just mean "religious practice." But somehow in the sixties it started to mean "dangerous kooky brainwashing religion."
So now if you want to insult
A religion, you call it a cult.
