On Thursday, July 22, 2010 the police in London, England in the African community of Brixton, in broad daylight raided the Mosque of the Nation Of Islam.

This is the excuse, a search for a "marijuana farm", the police used in this attack on the NOI in Brixton in an attempt to criminalize any organizational effort for black freedom.

But the U.S. and Britain are the real terrorist. HANDS OFF!! NOI-BRITAIN!
