'Imminent threat' issued after chaplain's report of religious extremists

Filed · 1540

FORT JACKSON, S.C. — The National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) has issued an “Imminent Threat Alert” after an FBI raid against religious extremists at the Chaplain Basic Officer Leadership Course (CBOLC) at Fort Jackson earlier today.

The raid was the culmination of a week-long investigation of the US Army Chaplaincy Center. Authorities were tipped off by 2nd Lt. Tawfiq Krayshan, a Senegalese Sufi immigrant in the Chaplain Candidate Program. Krayshan reported that class members with black ashes on their heads would attempt to raise the Islamic prophet Isa Ibn Maryam from the dead, effectively bringing about the “end of days.”

In an exclusive interview with Duffel Blog, Krayshan — who has never been exposed to any religion other than Sufism and mainstream Islam in his native Senegal — details how his diligence and reverence to The Inspirer of Faith helped thwart a “major infiltration of heretics.”
