What a laugh....lets put Dracula in charge of the Blood bank and pedophiles in charge of Kindergartens, then the set will be complete.

Any one with a Middle Eastern name or origin should not even be seen buying a coffe within miles of the Homeland security offices let alone some one who had connections to some Muslims organization and be appointed by it....what an absolute Joke....

Think there should be an Investigation into Homeland Security, the entire organization. Security, what security when dingbats are installing moonbats to oversee nuclear stations
and oil refineries?? Are these people MAD! By now,
Al Quaeda probably has all the plans it needs. This is criminal stupidity and should be looked into AT ONCE.

ACLU SPLIT ON DECISION TO HIRE POSSIBLE TERRORISTS
Jul. 31, 2004 12:00 AM

The American Civil Liberties Union is in turmoil over a promise it made to the government that it will not knowingly hire people whose names appear on watch lists of suspected supporters of terrorism. Those lists are of the very type it has vehemently opposed in other contexts.

In April, for instance, the group filed suit to block the use of "no fly" lists of people barred from air travel or subject to heightened scrutiny, saying the lists were often inaccurate and violated the constitutional rights of some people. The group made the promise not to employ people it knew to be on similar terrorism lists so that it could continue participating in a program that allows federal employees to make charitable contributions through payroll deductions.

Not only should this Muslim be investigated but all Muslims applying for or holding any job on which the safety or health of ANY Non Muslim depends should be investigated.

We should also investigate every Mosque and Islamic Social club or Charity in this country including the basements and broom closets and the homes of the Imams and any prominent influential or radial member of that Mosque, Islamic Social club or Charity, and any storage facilities they may have rented since the investigations began.

We should also be investigating any and ALL Middle Eastern students and teachers at any and ALL Institutions of Higher Learning or those in teaching positions in any and all public schools.

ALL MUSLIMS in America or coming to America need to be scrutinized! Simple because THEY are Muslims... Look facts are facts and If middle aged white women of Irish ancestry were to become major world terrorists I would welcome scrutiny! Come on in officer, my home is your home! I have NOTHING TO HIDE! Hey Check out my Library records Check out my Internet websites! Anything I can do as a LOYAL American Citizen to make other citizens safer is just fine with me!

Hiring this muslim was about as prudent as hiring muslim interpreters to work for the FBI. They rejected Arabic speaking Jews; patriotic, life-long citizens of America. Why? They are far more trustworthy than any muslim.
Homeland Security? What a joke! Muslims are infiltrating our government from the bottom up, as well as the military, the schools and universities. How many more incidents of treason, murder, conspiracy, etc. are needed to raise a red flag? When are the politically correct morons who are supposed to be protecting America going to realize that muslims CANNOT BE TRUSTED? We wouldn't need a Department of Homeland Security if not for muslims!
Yeah, I feel real safe with people like Mr. Gill in charge. He violated the rules; he should be fired and then closely monitored.

Some people in government feel Islam is a religion of Peace.

Surely those in government that should be observing and investigating can't be as stupid and incompetent as they seem....

Some may believe the lies and the misinformation provided by apologists, some may just be bought off with petro-dollars, but surely there are others with a gut instinct that tells them that these so-called interpreters, scholars, diplomats, and others, are nothing but the first wave, the scouts, a vanguard for the attack.

Just to let you know the real dangers coming from North of the 49th paralell,a Canadian Judge ruled that refusing to allow non-Citizens to work in the Government around sensitive personal information about Canadians was a violation of the Charter of Rights. Canada isn't a direct target for terrorists unless we remove the access to security documents and high-paying Government jobs that employ Islamist immigrants that supply information to Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Ladin.
Employment laws must balance the safety of a Country and the rights of foreign worker,but allowing non-Citizens to have access to passports and visa'a is dangerous. There's a massive charge-card fraud and fake drivers license scam that help foreign Mafia's steal millions through bogus loans and mortgages.
The RCMP and CSIS spend way too much time on the crimes caused by the employment of a few shady characters. Maybe a Judge will be on a hijacked plane when it's about to slam into a office tower and he can tell the terrorist that he's violating his Charter of Rights to "Security of Person" .
Ya,like that will stop the hijacker.

This week another Judge ruled the Police can't search someones pockets unless there're an arrested alledged criminal. Well just watch how well that goes over at the Airport,criminals will put their wallets in a front pocket and then refuse to produce it to prove who they are. I doubt American Customs agents in Canadian Airports will be exempt for doing this on Canadian soil.

The security system in Canada is a joke,the RCMP was chastized for not making arrests in the AIR-India terrorist bombing of two planes from Canada which murdered almost 400 non-Sikhs.
Wire-taps showed a plan to blow up the planes but the Constitution didn't allow you to arrest
some one becuase they might commit a crime.
Last year 19 Pakistani's students were rounded up and questioned about forged documents and bogus
enrollment in a Mail-order school now defuncted.
Two men were taking flying lessons near a Nuclear Plant and all were Muslims. Screams of racism and Islamophobia came from CAIR and other Islamic org.s ,they demanded the RCMP press charges or let them loose.
These were the same smug Arabs and Muslims that said the American's were to blame for 9/11 because they allowed the hijackers to roam the Country without being arrested.The RCMP makes a pre-emptive move to stop a potential attack in Canada and they still bitch. I believe they want us dead and take both side of the issue to protect Islamists from being arrested.
The Air India trial is now in its 20th year and witnesses are growing old and some are being killed by Sikh extremist in B.C. to silence them from testifying. The trial so far has cost 80 Million dollars to the tax payers and doesn't appear to be reaching an end.
We now have a new layer of Government to keep us safe except they can't arrest a terrorist until they commit the crime.Since the 9/11/01 attack Canada has spend 7 billion dollars and yet we still have Al-Qaeda friendly families supporting Osama and suicide bombers. The Government is talking about another level of security forces equal to the Homeland Security bureau in the USA.

They don't get it,Muslim terrorists use democracies to protect their right to plan and execute mass slaughter of infidels. I expect more attacks and another layer of Government that is inept. Screw the Constitution,it was meant to be applied to freedom loving lawfully acting Citizens,I doubt the Forefathers visioned psychopaths flying planes in skyscrapers and
blaming it on Israel.
What do you think Muslims would do if a 747 was
flown into the grand Mosque during Haj,would they accept a hijacking by a fringe group from the USA.
Not a chance,Allah live inside the bricks and mortar and not in heaven,this idolatry has lead to many slaughterings by Muslims in the name of Islam.
