US Muslim group demands FBI cancel counter-terror program

Mar 27, 2016 10:07 am By Robert Spencer

“Foremost, the SRC is problematic as it continues to target Arabs and Muslims, and turns our religious leaders, mental health professionals, teachers and dedicated community members into informants for the FBI.” If they were loyal to the U.S. and against jihad terror, they would be willing informants.

ADC

“US Muslim Anti-Discrimination Group ‘Demands’ FBI Cancel Informant Program,” by Ron Brynaert, Daily Caller, March 26, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

In an email sent to supporters, a prominent US anti-discrimination Muslim group announced that it’s “requesting a meeting with FBI Director James Comey” and is “demanding” that it cancel an informant program reportedly set to “be formally introduced next week.”

“The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee demands that the FBI cancel the launch of its controversial ‘Shared Responsibility Committee’ program,” the email states. “Since learning about the program last fall, ADC has frequently expressed serious concerns about the initiative, which is part of the government’s Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) program.”

Last November, the Washington Post reported, “The FBI has designed an unusual game-style Web site about extremism meant to be used by teachers and students to help the agency spot and prevent radicalization of youth, say Muslim and Arab advocacy groups who were briefed by the FBI on the program and fear it will foment discrimination against Muslims.”

The “Don’t Be A Puppet” website — aimed at schools to help “keep youth from falling prey to online recruiting by terrorists” — was put on hold after the ADC and other “members of the Muslim and Arab advocacy groups invited to preview the effort complained that despite being described as combatting ‘violent extremism,’ it frames the topic heavily through the lens of Islam and will lead to profiling of Muslim youth.”

The “Shared Responsibility Committees” (SRCs) were also referred to at an FBI meeting last November, “which the Muslim and Arab participants said are proposed groups of community leaders and FBI representatives who could discuss cases of specific youths.”

In the email, which was sent Friday, the ADC claims “it raises numerous civil rights and civil liberties concerns and has been planned in secrecy. Foremost, the SRC is problematic as it continues to target Arabs and Muslims, and turns our religious leaders, mental health professionals, teachers and dedicated community members into informants for the FBI.”

It continues: “The FBI and other government agencies have failed to be transparent and forthcoming with details about the program, which the FBI packages as a form of community engagement. The SRCs expand the FBI’s surveillance powers, under the guise of an ‘interventionist’ program. Similar programs were implemented in Europe, and they failed miserably. In implementing the program, the FBI has ignored history and the concerns raised by community members. Instead the FBI has relied on fringe groups from within the community. These groups are recipients of government grants used to implement such programs and do not work in the best interest of the community.”

Former CIA officer Clare M. Lopez — who is now the Vice President for Research and Analysis at the Center for Security Policy, and a foreign policy adviser for Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz — recently complained that the FBI was the “real puppet” being led by a “Muslim Brotherhood puppeteer.”…

    They have nothing to worry about if they have nothing to do with Islamic terror!! Or only guilty will oppose it!!

    The truth can be very painful, but it must be faced. There is something terribly wrong in the Islamic world.

    “it raises numerous civil rights and civil liberties concerns and has been planned in secrecy.”

    A muslim group concerned about civil rights and liberties? Since when? Imagine if Americans started migrating to Iran, posting our flag, preaching religious freedom, human rights above sharia…would they feel the need to accommodate such actions? I think not. Muslims come from those M.E. countries with the same religio-political mindset, sharia, infidel hatred, religious bigotry and supremacy, but we’re not supposed to question their motives, or be concerned about their militant goals against us.

    “The unseen enemy is always the most fearsome.” ~George Martin

    If we don’t start seeing this enemy we’re going to lose the freedoms and peace muslim nations have already lost. Time to remove the blindfold. It’s not a religion of peace and no muslim should be lecturing us about “civil rights and liberties.”

      If Islam really wanted ‘peace’ – shouldn’t it have been achieved by now?

      It has only been 1300 years!!

      They don’t want ‘peace’ they want power – and wish everyone were subjected to it.

        Very good point, if it was the ‘religion of peace’ and we know that is incorrect, they have done little or nothing to achieve it in 1300 years. That of course is all the fault of Western aggression
        against Islam. If we had just rolled over like puppy dogs everything would be be perfect under Islam now. It is Allah’s will and that cannot be argued against, so Muslims are always in the right.

      I have read the U.S. wrote sharia based constitutions for Iraq and Afghanistan. so you don’t have to worry about the U.S., they accommodate sharia based jihad such as Isis. Now the isis wants Syria to conform and remove Assad.

    • Sandra Lee Smith says

      Mar 28, 2016 at 9:41 pm

      Only to the extent that those activities interfere with them and their plans! Otherwise they could care less about civil liberties!

    If a Muslim is blowing people up and attacking people then I am hardly going to be searching for Mrs Grady old lady am I? When Muslims stop causing murder and mayhem then maybe they won’t be placed under such scrutiny, but until then they will be targeted for investigation regardless of ethnicity.

    Muslims whine about being victims every time innocent non Muslims are murdered by their barbaric Muslim brethren. Nobody is falling for the lies of Muslims or our weak cowardly political class EVERYBODY knows that Islam does NOT mean peace, and everytime our political class repeat the lie it just makes people less inclined to believe them about anything else

    Muslims complaining about counter-terrorism programs? Gee, what a surprise… Anyway, this might be a good thing – the program would end up being a waste of taxpayer’s money. Expecting muslims to denounce other muslims? What were they smoking when they came up with that idea?…

    Discriminate does not equal prejudice. Prejudice is making a decision or opinion on incorrect information or lack of.

    Discriminate is making a choice or opinion based on facts or knowledge.

    To hold a prejudice that a doctrine is good, when with factual information about a doctrine show it is not good, uses misdirection and is motivation for actions that uses terror, it is a wise choice to discriminate. They have to know the doctrine to make decisions, it has been forbidden to know for far too long. Although I suspect they took a peek.

    And what is the betting that they’ll get their way? Political correctness has taken too deep roots in the US, just like in the rest of the West.

    What they practice is called taqiyya alias deception which is allowed in Islam to deceive the non Muslim kafirs ( beggars) to ensure the kafirs destruction

    Let’s see if FBI director James Comey grants these whiny little spastics their meeting. Then let’s see if he caves in to their demands. I hope he tells them to go sh*t in a hijab.

    If there is so much as a tiny trace of justice…. each and every one of these criminals, who know full well what a vile and filthy crime islam really is, a crime they wish to inflict on the entire planet and their enablers and boot lickers in the media, government and schools, will be dragged into court, and ultimately face the ultimate penalty for their acts of treason against all of humanity.

    This is the whole argument against Trump and Cruz – which is that the ‘tone’ they take with Islam risks alienating Muslims and can be used as a recruitment tool for terror.

    And that we need to work with the ‘moderate’ [read: non-violent] Muslims in the community to rout out the jihadist types among them.

    Oh well, there goes the common defense argument!! The Muslim community or at least this Islamic ‘civil rights’ group and groups like CAIR see no point in cooperating with the FBI on its counter terrorism initiatives.

    ::

    I think Hillary has based her entire presidential campaign on that argument – calling Trump and Cruz’s proposals ‘dangerous’.
    But listen to what a certain Senator Hillary Clinton had to say about Muslim profiling several years ago.
    [Strangely, she even says she wants to make America ‘great’]

      We don’t have time to be politically correct, diversity orientated, think that Islam is a doctrine of peace, while gathering thousands as refugees and visas imports potential islamic terrorist, who are acting on and will act on their doctrine to terrorize, to seize the U.S. for a caliphate thru misdirection of the Professional terrorists in suits, denying the doctrine and calling the potential victims who know some facts racist.

    All of these moslim brotherhood groups *demand* what they want….money, support, don’t look at them, don’t question them, don’t ask them to obey laws, don’t ask them to stop their *hate* speech against Christians and Jews, etc.
    Demanding that they not be questioned, demanding that they not be watched even when acting suspiciously, etc.
    So what would happen if non moslims began demanding that moslim groups be watched, questioned, put under surveillance, and demanded that they be profiled at airports, bus stations, schools, and other public places; what about demanding that no more be allowed in or to build more barracks or to form any more front groups for the brotherhood?

    This beast from satan demands and because satan has given it some of his *authority and power*…those demands are honored and obeyed.
    But this beast of islam has a limited life span. It will be a joyous day when that life span ends.

    (Revelation, chapters 13 through 21)

    Has there ever been a truely “lone wolf” Muslim terrorist that was unknown by someone who knew he was likely to commit some violent act? Somehow, others are always found connected to this terrorist, both exremists and non-extremists, and the non-extremists ALWAYS say they had no idea.

    Then our “leaders” tell us that we should not be wary of the followers of a book that tells them that Allah hates unbelievers and has 139 verses declaring inequality between believers and unbelievers; even declaring eternal, extremely sadistic punishments for the unbeliever.

    Christianity and Democracy offer equality under religious and civil law for everyone. Islam is a toxic hate system that divides the world into two camps and then goes on to plant discord in its own; killing over who is a “real” Muslim. Who can trust such a system?

    It isn’t ‘conspiracy’ when Muslims do it.

      It’s still conspiracy, but theirs are considered okay by the PTB!

    One has to read the book ` slavery, terrorism and islam’ written by Peter Hammond and the research done by Nicolai Sennels about the truth regarding Islam. Peace is but a camouflage used by Islam to entrench the core anti-human actions of Islamic cult. The liberals, pseudo seculars pave way for its accomplishment. According to the muslims , these liberals etc.are `useful Idiots’ who pave way for the satanic cult to be established but who will be its first victim upon establishing the cult . In India, these fanatics team with unwise Christian missionaries along with the pseudo seculars(liberals of India), communists to suppress Hindus ( who were resisting this cult fairly well for the last 1000 years). The actual safe haven for Christians in future is Goa which has almost no muslim population and majority Hindu population !
