Predawn Raids Target Troubled Oakland Bakery

OAKLAND -- Police conducted a series of raids Friday at a bakery linked to a black Muslim group, part of a yearlong investigation into several violent crimes.

The bakery had been the subject of a story being written, according to colleagues, by a veteran journalist who was ambushed and slain in downtown Oakland Thursday, but authorities said there was nothing to connect bakery employees with the killing.

Nineteen people were detained in the raids at Your Black Muslim Bakery and three other locations, said Oakland Deputy Police Chief Howard Jordan, who did not identify the other locations.

Jordan would not say whether the raids were related to Thursday's shooting of Oakland Post editor Chauncey Bailey near the Alameda County courthouse in downtown Oakland. But The Oakland Tribune reported Friday that authorities said there wasn't a connection between bakery employees and Bailey's killing.

The newspaper said police would not give specific details about the cases they believe are linked to the people associated with the bakery, but said some were committed last year and earlier this year.

Bailey had been working on a story about Your Black Muslim Bakery, according to Joseph Debro, an Oakland businessman who writes a column for the Post. Debro said Bailey had recently asked him for information about bankruptcy proceedings for a story about the bakery.

"To him it was just another story," Debro said. "He wasn't apprehensive or anxious about it at all. He said he was working on a bunch of stories and this was one."

The Black Muslim Bakery was founded in 1968 by the late Yusuf Bey as a haven for struggling urban families. It sells natural baked goods alongside books by Malcolm X and other black leaders.

Bailey was a longtime reporter for the Oakland Tribune before becoming editor of the Post, a weekly newspaper geared toward the Bay Area black community, earlier this year.

He had written stories for the Tribune about the bakery and its founder when Bey was facing rape charges in Alameda County. Most of those charges were later dropped, although one was still pending when Bey died in 2003.

Bey's son, Yusuf Bey IV, took control of the original bakery and several franchises. In 2005, he was accused by police of being the ringleader in a group of black Muslims who smashed liquor bottles in Oakland corner stores and berated the Muslim owners for selling alcohol to the black community, because alcohol is forbidden by Islam.

In 2006, Bey was charged with assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly trying to use his BMW to run down several bouncers after being thrown out of a San Francisco strip club. He also faced felony charges in Solano County for allegedly fraudulently using false identification to buy a car.

Your Black Muslim bakery has been plagued with financial problems for several years, culminating in a bankruptcy filing last October.

In a declaration filed with the bankruptcy court on June 29, Yusuf Bey IV conceded he was "inexperienced in the business world," and had "received advice and consultation from those who had proven to me they did not have my best interests at heart."

What does a black Muslim bakery produce? Camel-turd pies? Infant-clitoris bread? The very notion that such an institution exists is enough to make me lose my lunch and not want to eat for a week. Bleeech!

Even this guy's failures are someone else's fault! How typical!!

You know they're black muslims when they have names like Mohammad Adbul-Washington or Mustafa Jenkins.

I was just going to post this.

I used to drive past there and I've seen that place...They had this big schoolbus painted black outside.

They are the some of the worst people in the community and they extort store owners.

I saw something like this coming.

[Ehud]

Your Black Muslim bakery?  How retarded is that.  Any organization run by black muslims is bound to be involved in crime and eventually go bankrupt.

I'd love to walk in there with a heavy Yiddish accent and ask if they have bagels.

I don't even want to think about what went on inside that "schoolbus", much less what probably happened to children inside of it. (Even though I suspect that its real purpose was an orgy room for these monkey imams.)

I bet they have great sales techniques in a black muslim store...........

" Buy sumpin', b*tch or we gonna pop a cap in yo' @ss"

[Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks]

That probably is their exact sales pitch. And the darkies are all too happy to plop down some welfare bucks and oblige.
