France: Black Muslim Influenced Group "Tribu Ka" Is Banned
News from Agence France Presse via Expatica reports that the group calling itself Tribu Ka (K Tribe) has been banned by the French government.
As we reported on May 30 the group had intimidated Jewish groups and had held a rally in the Jewish district of Marais, in which anti-semitic slogans were called.
Though the group claims to have ancient Egyptian philosophy, its leader Kemi Saba (pictured) derived his views from the US Nation of Islam, and the crackpot theories of Elijah Mohammed and Fard Mohammad. He had experienced a racially-inspired "epiphany" in a Nation of Islam mosque in Los Angeles, where a sermon was being preached by Tony Muhammad.
In Paris, Kemi Saba had joined a French branch of the Nation of Islam, before founding Tribu Ka. During the time that Youssef Fofana, the leader of the black Muslim gang the "Barbarians", was on the run after the murder of Ilan Halimi, a young Jewish man, Tribu Ka had sent threatening letters to Jewish groups.
The group had also invaded a Jewish self defense gymnasium, and physically threatened its members.
Today, the French Interior Minister Ncolas Sarkozy announced the ban on the group, saying that "Their anti-Semitism is no longer to be established and the Republic cannot tolerate such action and behaviour."
Sarkozy said that he would not be "tolerating people that threaten, intimidate, injure or behave in the way that they behaved."
Kemi Saba said that his group would ignore the ban: "During the time of slavery, we asked slaves not to meet up after a certain time ... If slaves had taken this into account there would not have been the abolition of slavery."
He claimed that after the group's march in Marais, membership of the K Tribe had tripled.
