CAIR Asks Secs. Napolitano, Gates to Drop Muslim-Bashers as Trainers

Dec 28 03:01 PM US/Eastern

WASHINGTON, 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."

CAIR made its requests in letters to DHS Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Last week, the Washington-based Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization sent a similar request to Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.

The Post's report cited cases of individuals who lack formal training "teaching classes on terrorism and Islam to law enforcement officers all over the country."

The Post also noted that the Center for Security Policy, an extremist right-wing think tank – headed by Frank Gaffney Jr. -- that recently published an inflammatory report targeting American Muslims, has spoken to many law enforcement forums.

According to the Post: "Government terrorism experts call the views expressed in the center's book inaccurate and counterproductive."

"It is important that the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security have access to accurate and balanced information about Islam and Muslims," said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad.

Awad added that a coalition of Muslim, Sikh, Asian-American, and other civil liberties groups recently called on FBI Director Robert Mueller to explain why Robert Spencer, a leader of an anti-Islam hate group, was invited to train state and federal law enforcement officers.

Earlier this year, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) acknowledged that an anti-Islam film should not have been used in training offered to security personnel by that military law enforcement agency.

CAIR contacted NCIS after receiving a report that a three-day NCIS surveillance detection course at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., included the viewing of a propagandistic anti-Islam film.

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.

 

[Sandra Lee Smith]

Yes, they did, but way too late in the game, after allowing their organization to be heavily infiltrated by CAIR approved agents!

what can we expect when this country has lost its backbone and faith in god. i wonder will the gays stand and fight against the muslims or will they slither back in the closet and hide and let the real soldiers fight. face it this countrys ruling elite has a fatal case of the P.C.. i have been studying up on history. the communists were smart. they had great purges following their revolutions. i am not saying its right but it sure makes sense.

[Sandra Lee Smith]

Yes, and WE would all be among the first purgees, should that happen in the US.
