The unindicted co-conspirator CAIR tries to stop a police training course that sounds more realistic than most. "But Solomon Bradman, CEO of Security Solutions International, which is conducting the program, said, 'I can't take the responsibility of my course linking their religion to terrorism. I think their religion got linked to terrorism a long time ago.'"
Solomon Bradman is a clear-sighted and honest man.
"Does course on Islam give law enforcers wrong idea?," by Janet I. Tu for the Seattle Times, May 23 (thanks to all who sent this in):
Some local Muslim community members are upset about a training course for local law enforcement, saying it could promote stereotypes and ethnic and religious profiling.The program, called "The Threat of Islamic Jihadists to the World" and conducted by a Miami-based company, began Thursday and continues today at the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission campus in Burien.
It is billed as providing insight into the formative phases of Islam, the religion's different branches, radical Islam and how to respond to terrorist acts.
But Arsalan Bukhari, president of the Washington state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said the program appears to be linking an entire religion to terrorism.
"Most police officers don't have a basic grounding in Islam, so before you teach them about Islam, how can you teach them about radical Islam?" he asked. "It just makes you nervous because when a law-enforcement person pulls someone over, when they see a Muslim person or someone who appears Muslim to them — all this information they just learned kicks in."
See? If you inform police about the violent teachings of Islam, they will end up victimizing innocent people!
It's a canny charge. He is trying to push the victim buttons that have always worked so well for CAIR. But on what is it based? Absolutely nothing.
Bukhari believes the need for police training on issues of profiling and bias was highlighted by an incident last summer in which the FBI launched an international search for two men who took photos below deck on a Washington state ferry. The FBI announced earlier this month that the men were tourists, not terrorists.
Even if that is true, it has nothing to do with what they have learned or not learned about Islam. According to reports at the time, these two men "had more than the average interest in the working parts of the ferry, the layout of the ferry, the size of it -- more than you would see in normal passenger."
If Islam is a religion of peace, are we supposed to be not concerned about Muslims acting suspiciously, even if an investigation shows that there was nothing untoward going on?
Bukhari said law-enforcement agencies need to learn about Islam, but not just in the context of terrorism.But Solomon Bradman, CEO of Security Solutions International, which is conducting the program, said, "I can't take the responsibility of my course linking their religion to terrorism. I think their religion got linked to terrorism a long time ago."
The purpose of the course, Bradman said, is to teach officers how to protect people from terrorism. His company has provided training to hundreds of agencies, including the FBI, the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security.
The two-day program covers some of the history of Islam to provide an "understanding of the terror mind-set and reasons for global jihad," Bradman said. It's not intended to be an all-inclusive course on Islam.
There are other organizations, such as CAIR, that have worked with law-enforcement agencies to provide that broader training, he said....
Quite so.
Somebody hear any politically correct wailing about Solomon Bradman's misunderstanding of a peaceful religion?
You are correct Mr. Bradman, "Most police officers don't have a basic grounding in Islam, so before you teach them about Islam, how can you teach them about radical Islam?" But, and here is the but, all Islam is radical if you follow the Koran.
Well Islam is a terrorist religion. It promote violence against non Muslims to the highest degree, so the link is accurate. It is a dangerous ideology.
"But Arsalan Bukhari, president of the Washington state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said the program appears to be linking an entire religion to terrorism"
maybe he should get with the Muslims terrorists and tell them to stop killing everyone.
"the program appears to be linking an entire religion to terrorism"
Bingo!
"WORLD PEACE" not "TERRORISM". It's all in the wording, ISLAM has NOTHING to do with TERRORISM, it is about WORLD PEACE, it is only your infidel mind that decides to replace the phrase WORLD PEACE with TERRORISM and speaks to your corrupt beliefs which make you fear ISLAM. George Bush is not fighting a war against Terrorism, he is fighting a war against WORLD PEACE, see how that works.....Islam is spreading WORLD PEACE, just keep repeating it over and over.
CAIR is afraid the truth of their totalitarian ideology is getting out! After all the corrupt influence they've effected upon our government, some of the kafir STILL aren't cooperating!
The basic truth is that islam is no more a "religion" than communism or fascism are! It no more deserves the arbitrary Constitutional protections than these other two ideologies do!
"Bad muslims" may not be an immediate threat, but "faithful" muslims ARE!!! Whether they actively participate, thru terrorist acts or financing, or just qietly sit by and refuse to condemn barbaric acts, they ARE the enemy of civilization! Radar `73-`75
"Bukhari said law-enforcement agencies need to learn about Islam, but not just in the context of terrorism"
but when you read the Qur'an and Islam, you discover it is all about terrorism...
"the program appears to be linking an entire religion to terrorism"
Right-On!
We need this information to trickle up towards the politicians and other elites!
CAIR's Bukhari says:
"Bukhari said law-enforcement agencies need to learn about Islam, but not just in the context of terrorism."
Why do we need to learn about Islam without terrorism? We don't seem to find it necessary to teach Christianity "without terrorism". I haven't noticed Christianity coming in that flavor.
This CAIR crap "dialogue" only seems to continue alienating Islam from Christianity by singularly promoting Islam as something we "need to learn" - and based on CAIR's value system, the infidel ummah has a lot to learn.
I think I've learned all I "cair" to. I learn more of Islam every day in the news. And none of it is good.
This is one of the chinks in the islamic armor.
The media publish only bad news. A lot of it is linked with Islam wheather the Islamicists like it or not. The more published, the more they are shown for what they are. Keep up the good work!
Yes, you don't want Infidels learning about Islam, do you?
That can be dangerous. They might start thinking for themselves, then they'll get ideas about self-defense and ending jizya. Who knows where it might end?
Remember what Omer Subhani says - Terror is not Terrorism.
Feel any safer?
Seems to me that Mr Solomon Bradman and the people in charge of 'Security Solutions International' should be receiving brief, clearly-worded letters of congratulation and encouragement from USA jihadwatchers, thanking them for the work they are doing to keep Americans safer in the face of the threat from the Third Jihad.
Mr Spencer - unless you already know Mr Bradman and the firm he works for, *your* letter to them should be on its way, as should letters from Mr Bostom and Mr Fitzgerald. You should perhaps be asking about their course outline and reading list.
They need to know that intelligent, well-informed citizens are barracking for them.
Shoutout - does anyone from Seattle or Washington state, reading this, know someone in the Force who is attending the training course under discussion? Anyone reading this, who is actually doing the course?
And now, for the benefit of any Infidel police officer, now or in the future, who may come across this discussion via google or somesuch, I will post a link to a classic article by an Australian policeman, Tim Priest, now retired, describing what happened in a major Australian city once the population of Muslims reached a certain level.
It was published in QUADRANT Volume XLVIII Number 1 - January-February 2004, and it's called "The Rise of Middle Eastern Crime in Australia" {it should more properly have been called "the rise of Muslim crime in Australia", or, even, "the beginnings of Jihad in Australia"}.
Mr Priest slips regularly between 'middle eastern' and 'Muslim'; I do not think he has entirely grasped that what was wrong with the Lebanese Muslims (and, I suspect, other Muslims in the same area) was not RACE but IDEOLOGY, memetic rather than genetic (he fails to remark, for example, on the fact that we Australians only started to see Lebanese gangs involved in serious, systematic, expanding ultraviolent organised crime, from the 1980s, after we got a huge influx of Lebanese MUSLIMS. We have had a substantial CHRISTIAN Lebanese population in Australia, mostly devout Maronite Catholics fleeing dhimmitude and persecution, since the late 19th century, and they have really been no trouble at all; one of our prizewinning writers, David Malouf, is from a Lebanese Christian background).
Anyway, here's the link.

If, every time Priest says 'middle eastern' or 'Lebanese' one inserts the word 'Muslim' one starts to realize that he is describing the very beginnings of a classic Jihad process.
