CAIR Asks Secs. Napolitano, Gates to Drop Muslim-Bashers as TrainersDec 28 03:01 PM US/EasternWASHINGTON, Dec. 28, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A prominent national Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization is urging the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Defense Department (DoD) not to use anti-Muslim extremists to train counterterrorism officials.That request by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) comes following a Washington Post investigative report on post-9/11 government surveillance, which stated: "Seeking to learn more about Islam and terrorism, some law enforcement agencies have hired as trainers self-described experts whose extremist views on Islam and terrorism are considered inaccurate and counterproductive by the FBI and U.S. intelligence agencies."SEE: Monitoring America (Wash.

    I have talked to one of them on the (ham) radio and talking about the dislike and hatred in their voice. They where talking like this country was already under their control and as if they already owned it.

    Something has got to be done to nip this in the butt before violence breaks out not what I want to see happen

  • I have a English version of the Quran, ther is nothing peaceful about the muslim faith.
  • despicable morons. Look at England and France.We are all with you Twana.God bless you for your work and caring and reporting to everyone. What a horror.
    • Do you have questions about the terrorist attacks of 911?

      If you do, maybe I can help you.

    • Tom

      that is a good point you have there.

  • I have 4 pages about these sand spooks and their religion on my website

    my site

  • CAIR has been "running" DHS, the FBI, and other law enforcement training for about a decade now.  Read Muslim Mafia if you have ANY doubts about this; they're also heavily influencing our Congress, via aides and other workers behind the scenes there, and have been for a long time.
    • I would not be surprised about that at all. Even the local law enforcement out here has maslams working for them.
  • If I am mistaken, please correct me, but didn't the FBI declare CAIR a terrorist org. since they are a arm of the Muslim Brotherhood?

    • I think you are right about that, so why does everyone listen to them, because if they don't somemight get their head cut off. You know how the maslams are they just love nothing more than to whack a persons head from it's shoulders.
