Remember: Yusufi Vali is saying this about the Countering Violent Extremism program, which Barack Obama has taken great pains to ensure is not “founded on the premise that your faith determines your propensity towards violence.” If even that weak, fantasy-based, toothless program is too much for Yusufi Vali, one has to wonder what counter-terror measures, if any, would be acceptable to him. Then recall that Yusufi Vali is affiliated with the Islamic Society of Boston, which has numerous ties to jihad terrorists.
Anyway, what with Islamic jihadists exclusively targeting the non-Muslim (and “heretical” Muslim) community, this focus, such as it is, seems reasonable.
“Islamic leader says US officials unfairly target Muslims,” by Bryan Bender, Boston Globe, February 18, 2015 (thanks to Tarn):
WASHINGTON — A top leader of Boston’s Muslim community on Wednesday strenuously objected to a new Justice Department strategy to prevent disaffected youth from taking up terrorism, complaining that the effort is “exclusively targeting the American Muslim community.”
In a strongly worded protest to a report that US Attorney Carmen Ortiz delivered to a White House summit on Wednesday, Yusufi Vali said he could not support the framework because the programs “are founded on the premise that your faith determines your propensity towards violence.”
The comments by Vali, executive director of the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, demonstrate the difficulty the Obama administration faces in taking preemptive action to prevent troubled youths from becoming violent extremists, while not trampling on individual rights or singling out particular communities for scrutiny.
Last fall, Boston was chosen along with Los Angeles and Minneapolis to spearhead a Justice Department effort known as “Countering Violent Extremism.”
Vali has been one of the local participants, and the Boston experience was the subject of a 28-page report released at the White House summit.
“It clearly appears that the CVE initiative is exclusively targeting the American-Muslim community, in spite of the best efforts of the local US attorney to redefine it expansively,” Vali wrote, using the acronym for the administration effort.
Ortiz did not respond to requests to comment directly on Vali’s charge, and some other members of the local Muslim community said the emerging outreach effort seemed to be working.
President Obama, in remarks to the attendees on Wednesday, insisted that the effort would not single out Muslims for their religion.
“Nobody should be profiled or put under a cloud of suspicion simply because of their faith,” he said, pledging that outreach to the Muslim community would not be a “cloak for surveillance.”…

Common sense must never be used. It sets a dangerous precedent of possibly getting things accomplished in an honest and straightforward way.
The final fuck you the American people will be when Obama “converts” to Islam in the months after he leaves office.
2016, No more Muslim Sympathizer Presidents

What is the Islamic Society of Boston hiding? (Tsarnaevs, etc.)

I’m sure there is a lot of crime in Boston, as there is in many large cities, but they are not terror crimes. The terror crimes are being cone by muslims. Seems no one in authority can get that.

A wolf in sheep’s clothing…and a Trojan horse. Thy name is Yusuf Vali.
A professional disinformationist.

“It clearly appears that the CVE initiative is exclusively targeting the American-Muslim community . . .”
Oh, it’s not that Obama and his DOJ haven’t looked, and looked, and looked even more, for terrorism tendencies in others. It’s just that they keep coming up empty.
On the other hand Muslims and violence and the tendency toward violence are,as they say, target-rich environments. And that’s easily explained. All those “holy” books of Islam keep telling Muslims to terrorize non-Muslims.
mariam rove says
Are these people in cloud 9? It is mind boggling what their statements are. 100% of terrorism are done by Muslims. So whose faith should they be profiling? Militant Catholics? M
Dave J says
They all read the same evil book, they all have the same evil look.
They all protest far too much, they all want to eat you for lunch.
A scruffy beard and eyes like a shark,
They all want to kill you, just for a lark.
Five times a day, with asses in air,
Lost in their hate, lost in their prayer.
Just pay our tax, just wear our veil,
Just stand aside as we pound in the nail.
For we are the victims, not Christians or Jews,
It’s a religion of peace, just read the news.
For we are the best, we don’t mean to gloat,
Now pass me a virgin, are you done with that goat?
EYESOPEN says
Love the humor. Sometimes it’s just what the doctor ordered.
Lee Hicks says
100% of terror attacks come from Islam, but the deceivers who serve Allah want to pretend that it isn’t so. Know the evil nature of Islam, and the followers of Allah who have chosen to be our enemies.

This has been CNN’s lead story all morning. And one of its prime sources is the Southern Poverty Law Center, which the network continues to treat as a respected source even after its profile of the neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson so discredited its propaganda goons that they had to make a public apology for it.

He’s got a point. Those rowdy Amish keep killing people and blowing up sh**, all around the world, day after day. The FBI needs to keep an eye on them.

“Nobody should be profiled or put under a cloud of suspicion simply because of their faith.” Anybody who says THAT sort of thing clearly hasn’t thought the matter through or has an issue. Either way, they would need some education (are you reading this, Yusufi Vali?). If someone professes a certain belief-system, you would logically expect them to reflect it in what they think, say and do, otherwise you’d dismiss them as a fraud. So a professed Buddhist might be expected to be highly contemplative, pacifist, and respectful. What if the founder of your belief system, and the person you are obliged to model yourself upon, spent his life in a career of what we would regard as crime, including murder, mutilation, carnage, rape, theft, deception, and these all found their way his ‘holy writ’ as guidelines for YOUR life? Do you not think it reasonable that you should be viewed with some suspicion, especially as your belief system has a long track-record of adherents who emulate their ‘hero’ to the last severed limb and abused female?
EYESOPEN says
Well put.
jayell says
Thanks, eyesopen. I wonder if Mr. Vali has read my oh-so-incredibly perceptive post yet? Because I’d like to see his response. Talking about responses, it’s interesting to see the responses of muslims to the infuriatingly tedious (if not downright humiliating) security procedures at airports necessitated by atrocious criminal activities of – guess who – of course – muslims. Here in the UK the authorities were, for some strange reason, accused of targeting Islamic-looking passengers for more rigorous checks. What an outrage! How dare they! Causing such offence!!! So, to appear even-handed, they targeted everyone, apparently selecting victims on some kind of ‘rota’, with the result that, on one occasion, a little old white-haired English lady (a ‘Hell’s Granny’?) got ‘given the treatment’, whilst, some time little later, one of these middle-eastern walking tents with full-face covering was more or less just waived through! Monty Python stuff again, one thinks, but wouldn’t your Mr Vali just have LOVED that one! And then we had the body-scanners, designed to see through clothing to counteract the threat of Islamic terrorists with explosives under their clothing. Guess who went ballistic with righteous indignation and forced their withdrawal? More likely, they didn’t want to get caught out! Another victory for Mr. Valli’s ilk.
Prinz Eugen says
Moslem leader of Boston? is that like an imam or a Gauleiter? That clown can go to hell, where his ilk belong
mortimer says
Yusufi Vali may have known the Tsarnaev brothers!
mortimer says
I totally agree with you, juancolina !
That is my observation. I think Muslims around the world are realizing the jig is up for Islam. The world has discovered…and Muslims have realized…that this evil Death Cult is what it is.
mortimer says
Yusufi Vali objects that the programs “are founded on the premise that your faith determines your propensity towards violence.”
We know that the following verse have nothing to do with Islam and that no jihadists interpret them literally:
-Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Abi Aufa: Allah’s Apostle said, “Know that Paradise is under the shades of swords.” Bukhari Vol. 4, Book 52, Num. 73.
-“And slay them wherever ye catch them.” Qur’an 2:191.
-“Soon shall we cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with God, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers!” Qur’an 3:151 also 8:59-60 and 59:13.
-“I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.” Qur’an 8:12.
-“Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame….” Qur’an 9:14.
-“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” Qur’an 9:29.
-“Unless ye go forth, (for Jihad). He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least.” Qur’an 9:39.

Jay Boo says
Target — ????
This A-hole has no idea what it is to be a target.
Let him become a vocal apostate to Islam.
What other religion beside Islam is so hopelessly pathetically and worthless that it would feel a need to insist on killing those who wish to explore other options?
That is like someone being put on a hit list for wishing to trade in an old beat up Yugo for a new BMW.
Muslims of the world DUH???
Target — ??? Imagine if Muslim leaders were on a target list like the victims in Paris.
You can bet they would be just a bit more contrite.
biff says
If the authorities properly targeted Muslims the problem would be a tenth of the size it is now.
99% of terrorists read and observe the Koran as their most important document. Ergo all terrorists are to be found in amongst Muslims.
Are all Muslims terrorists, of course not. Most Moslems are apostates that would be unwilling to leave their welfare apartment to bother with raising a sword.
As long as the Kafir is stupid enough to pay a monthly stipend. Reverse Jizra.
Jimbo says
What an outrage America is !@!!! How dare you infidels target muslims. Vaili your perfectly and exactly right. WHY target muslims ??????? How dare anyone target Muslims. they are peace-loving, honest, and most accepting of all the religions out there.

Throw Yusufi Vali out of your country. His added value is none. On the contrary.
