Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Muslim groups demand mandatory retraining of all federal, state, local law enforcement officials who may have learned truth about jihad

Aug 27, 2014 4:26 am By Robert Spencer

ibrahim-hooper-mahdi-bray-nihad-awad-2009-12-10-10-10-18They got the FBI and other federal agencies in 2011 to remove all mention of Islam and jihad in connection with terrorism from counter-terror training materials, and to fire counter-terror trainers (including me) who spoke the truth about how Islamic jihadists used the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and make recruits. Now, flush with that victory, they’re moving in for the kill: any law enforcement official who may have heard the truth must be reeducated. Chairman Mao would be dead chuffed, but the fact is that even if Obama accepts and implements this demand, and he probably will, the truth will out: even Hamas-linked CAIR cannot prevent federal, state, and local law enforcement personnel from having open eyes and watching jihad activity in the U.S. and around the world, and drawing the obvious conclusions.

“Muslim Activists Demand Overhaul of All U.S. Law Enforcement Training,” Judicial Watch, August 26, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Islamic activists that strong-armed the FBI to purge anti-terrorism training material considered “offensive” to Muslims have made their next wave of demands, which include an overhaul in the way all law enforcement officers are trained in the United States.

The coalition of influential and politically-connected Muslim rights groups is demanding that the Obama administration implement a mandatory retraining program for all federal, state and local law enforcement officials who may have been subjected to materials they deem “biased and discriminatory” against Muslims. There must also be an audit of all federal law enforcement and intelligence gathering training and educational materials to identify and remove information that could exhibit bias against any race, ethnicity, religion or national origin, the groups demand.

Additionally, the administration must pursue disciplinary action against agents and officials who engage in discriminatory conduct as well as those responsible for the anti-Muslim training materials. Finally, the coalition insists that all federal funding to local and state law enforcement agencies be withheld unless they ban all training materials considered to be biased against race, ethnicity, religion or national origin. In short, these empowered Muslim activists want to dictate how our nation’s law enforcement agencies operate at every level.

The outrageous demands were made this month in a letter to Lisa O. Monaco, the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism. Among the signatories is the terrorist front organization Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has repeatedly proven that it wields tremendous power in the Obama administration. Founded in 1994 by three Middle Eastern extremists, CAIR got the FBI to purge anti-terrorism material determined to be offensive to Muslims. Judicial Watch uncovered that scandal last summer and obtained hundreds of pages of FBI documents with details of the arrangement. JW also published a special in-depth report on the subject in December.

CAIR also got several police departments in President Obama’s home state of Illinois to cancel essential counterterrorism courses over accusations that the instructor was anti-Muslim. The course was called “Islamic Awareness as a Counter-Terrorist Strategy” and departments in Lombard, Elmhurst and Highland Park caved into CAIR’s demands. The group responded with a statement commending officials for their “swift action in addressing the Muslim community’s concerns.” CAIR has wielded its power in a number of other cases during the Obama presidency, including blocking an FBI probe involving the radicalization of young Somali men in the U.S. and pressuring the government to file discrimination lawsuits against employers who don’t accommodate Muslims in the workplace.

Other signatories include the powerful open borders group Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), Muslim Advocates, the Sikh Coalition, Women in Islam Inc., the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), to name a few. The group’s claim that recent administration directives to promote multicultural and diversity sensitivity training in law enforcement aren’t enough because they don’t specifically address anti-Muslim materials.

“Without executive branch actions, including those we recommend below, trainings that perpetuate gross stereotypes and false information about Islam and Muslims will continue to proliferate at the state and local level,” the letter says. It continues: “The use of anti-Muslim trainers and materials is not only highly offensive, disparaging the faith of millions of Americans, but leads to biased policing that targets individuals and communities based on religion, not evidence of wrongdoing.” This will foster fear and suspicion of Muslims and will lead to an increase in discrimination, bullying, harassment and anti-Muslim violence, the letter asserts.

    When the first in a series of future dirty bombs go off in New York and London, Saudi Arabia and Iran will have done their homework to insure Western Intel “knows” the leaders of ISIS are the “bastards.” Troops will invade ISIS. Bombings. But Saudi Arabia and Iran will not be touched, … or so they like to think as they today make their plans for the destruction of the West.

    People today need to be informed of the intentions of the educated, wealthy, devout Muslim leaders of nations such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, Malaysia, etc. With the masses at least with an understanding what the thinking is behind the assaults that will occur to ISIS and their religious co-conspirators within the other nations of Islam.

    ISIS was planned for and created during a past conference of leaders of Islamist nations. ISIS will be their buffer to the backlash from the West after the dirty bombs cripple several major Western cities.

    The people need to be informed of the objective of a Muslim as spelled out in the Qur’an, and what the Qur’an requires of the leaders of Islamist nations with resources. Why ISIS was created as a means to further the objective. And why Western nations didn’t wait for the crippling Muslim strike before simultaneously attacking the top five, ten Islamist nations.

    Islamists want war. The West …?

      Saudi Arabia is very lucky that the U.S. didn’t invade them after 9/11. There was actually a scathing commentary that came out a few months after 9/11 (I think several Congressional members composed it): it called Saudi Arabia “the kernel of evil” behind most if not all global Islamist terrorism, and even suggested that the Saudis could be invaded and their oil fields seized if the U.S. were to get hit again by something on the level of 9/11 or greater. The heading of the article which reported the statement was, “Strong Sauce for the Saudis.”

      But for a few real men like Allen West & Reuben James, I admit the future seems hopeless for the infidel… but I would submit that for all the bluster you read by keyboard killers: the jihadist, to a man, will be beheaded along with their PCMC enablers by the unrepresented & forgotten American savage.

      BEAR UP.

    Worlds problem today is due to the liberation given to muslim. Countries must understand it is not a religion that can co-exsist with others its radical in its teaching and encourages violence over others. No matter how many rounds of peace talk it come back to the same point. Sad to say only way is send the muslims back to their holy land and the rest of the world should turn their backs on them.

    Thanks to the internet, and people like Spencer, the horse is already out of the barn. The forces of darkness are just attacking free speech…again…The Feds can decide to follow CAIR’s orders, but the local county sheriff does not have to do it, he does not work for the Feds, and he is not going to go for any of his deputies being retrained or punished simply because they know too much. If any sheriff falls into compliance, they should be reminded that they work for the people who elected him, and not CAIR or the Fed..

      The 21st century war of propaganda via the internet.
      My ex dropped by and her first words were ” thank god those Jews have stopped bombing Gaza” ?
      I Googled Gaza and the first story read ” armed gaza children celebrate their win”.
      I asked her ” you know why Israel had to build the walls don’t you ?”
      Her answer was” whatever they are crazy anyway shooting everyone”.
      I asked her ” you know that few people in Israel can carry firearms don’t you ?”
      She started” well if i was made a prisoner”…. I stopped the conversation right there.
      Apparently she got her version from following famous peoples twitter.
      The internet has given propaganda a speed that we are yet to come to grips with.

      Swami have enjoyed your knowledgeable posts for many a year, You bring up a point that I have pondered for some time, which is, how do local laweforcement agencies become sharia enforcers? This post by Mr. Spencer has helped me see the way it starts. Your post about local sheriff’s not bound the feds, caused me to google, Lee Baca Los Angeles County Sheriff and moslem supporters. Just wonder how many sheriffs, like him, are out there? Are local lawenforcement agencies really any protection against the spread of unconstitutional sharia law? Your take? Thanks.

      • duh_swami says

        Aug 27, 2014 at 4:32 pm

        The Sheriff of my county is the President of the State Sheriffs association…He has come out for the Constitution as have many Sheriffs…Baca should be replaced by the voters, it is their call. How well do you think this idea will go over with Sheriff Joe of Maricopa County AZ?

    Non-muslims have access to the Quran, the Hadith and biographies of Mohammed, such as Robert Spencer’s book.

    Non-muslims can make up their OWN MINDS about Islam.

      “Non-muslims can make up their OWN MINDS about Islam.”

      Muslims too are starting to make up their own minds about their religion.
      They are starting to ask tough questions and publicly confronting the most powerful Islamic institution: Al Azhar.

    When there ceases to be a correlation between the violent passages of the Islamic texts and the violent actions of Muslims, there will be no need to teach people about Islamic texts, but not before then.

    Open Islamist War against the west is being waged openly and unchallenged on the battlefield and in our own courtrooms without any widespread complaint. Incredible.

    Multiculturalism has resulted in brainwashing and the imposition of magical thinking on the populace equal to any totalitarian system in history.

In fact that makes me angrier than Islam itself usually, because it is so so like living the thought crime scenario of 1984. Any suggestions what can be done?

    CAIR objects to:
    “trainings that perpetuate gross stereotypes and false information … that targets … communities based on religion”.
    To be consistent this objection also has to cover material which, based solely on religion, characterises Jews and Christians as “apes and pigs …filth”, and can be directly linked to “discrimination, bullying, harassment and …. violence.”
    Obviously, to show themselves not to be “biased”, CAIR will have to act against that too, or they will reveal themselves to be “highly offensive”.

    It is amazing that a Sikh Coalition group is part of this CAIR’s abhorrent demands. This group has forgotten that that their two Gurus were publicly beheaded by Mogul emperors in India. The father of last Guru Gobind Singh was beheaded in Delhi by Auranzeb and that is where Gurudwara Shish Ganj is built and is place of pilgrimage to Sikhs all over the world. The fifth Guru Arjan Dev was killed by Jehangir(who was a son of Hindu mother).

    It is really painful to see that this Sikh group has forgotten the history of Muslim atrocities on their ancestors and joined hands with the killers of their gurus!!

      If I recall correctly, ACT for America is already on the case with their “thin blue line” project.

      They are also hard at work identifying and challenging the Islamised textbooks in schools.

      All US jihadwatchers should be members of ACT for America, forming local chapters to educate and lobby locally (from the PTA and the Sheriff and Mayor and Town Council, on up).

    I posted the following part of an interview Laura Ingraham did in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings on R. Spencer’s Frontpagemag piece this morning. Spencer did not challenge Ingraham on this (below) and if he did challenge her it would probably be the last time he would be a guest on her show. I am not sure he’s been a back anyway because I’ve not heard him. Ingraham’s focus is immigration anyhow.

    Are we winning?

    Laura Ingraham re: Tsarnaev jihad Boston Marathon terror attacks. Here she interviews author and scholar on Islam, Robert Spencer

    http://mp3play.noxsolutions.com/laura/mp3/041913_free.mp3

    “We need to be very careful how we speak about this….”

    “Well a friend of mine who uhm who I know from Nigeria I was talking to this morning and he said, he just shook his head and he said, ‘Laura I know what people are going to think about me and my faith but that — I mean I have known him for I don’t know, 18 years, he said — this is not who I am; this is not what my family believes; this is not what we are about’. And so, have to be very careful about demonizing an entire religion, an entire group of people, many of whom do not buy into this, many of whom do not want this, many of whom were in fear of this being another radicalized Muslim on American soil…”

    • voegelinian says

      Aug 27, 2014 at 2:05 pm

      Laura Ingraham’s anecdotally based anxiety not to tar all Muslims with a broad brush is quite alive and kicking inside the Counter-Jihad, including among some Jihad Watchers. And yet, whenever these Jihad Watchers display their Ingrahamesque anxiety, other Jihad Watchers whom one otherwise assumes are not so compromised by residues of PC MC fail to take them to task and school them. I continue to find that most puzzling.

      • voegelinian says

        Aug 27, 2014 at 2:17 pm

        One tempting, albeit tentative, theory in this regard has been the unfortunate conclusion that the vast majority of Jihad Watchers basically share the Ingrahamesque anxiety about tarring all Muslims with the same brush — despite their shows of jingoistic bravado and chest-thumping about “them Muzzies”.

        • voegelinian says

          Aug 27, 2014 at 2:19 pm

          And by “share” I don’t mean they have exactly the same degree of anxiety Laura Ingraham types do (for that’s another way for some to try to wiggle out of their responsibility for their assumptions: to take specious and fallacious comfort in a difference in degree, while otherwise continuing to promote the same shit in quality).

          Their journey bought by the blood of the warrior and scholar and scientist whose efforts were spent in the furtherance of human evolution.

          Existence, History, has a current… and I cannot explain it.

          But freedom will live, and it will be bought by the blood of the poor man & woman whose heart is full of love for the simplest things, AS IT ALWAYS IS.

          But this constant throughout history, the balance of the bubble between freedom and slavery…
