“The January report concluded that 73 percent of the 549 people convicted of international terrorism between 2001 and 2016 were foreign born.”
Is that true, or false? There is nothing — in this article at least — that indicates that it’s false. The problem with it is just that Muslim Advocates doesn’t like the policy recommendations that are based upon it.
Remember also: back in 2011, Muslim Advocates was the group that prevailed upon the Obama administration to erase all mention of jihad and Islam from counterterror training.
“Muslim group sues to block Trump terrorism report,” by Stephen Dinan, Washington Times, April 10, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Two anti-Trump organizations filed a lawsuit Monday arguing that a government report earlier this year linking immigrants to most of the country’s terrorism cases since 2001 is so misleading that it violates federal law.
The request seeks to recruit federal judges to police the accuracy of the administration, in what — if it’s successful — could become a model for anti-Trump groups to push back on a president they see as having a tenuous connection to the truth.
The January report concluded that 73 percent of the 549 people convicted of international terrorism between 2001 and 2016 were foreign born.
Activists were infuriated by the report at the time, and now two groups — Muslim Advocates and Democracy Forward — have sued, saying the investigation “misleadingly inflates the threat they pose to the United States,” and “inaccurately” focuses on Muslims.
“The report perpetuates the ongoing stigmatization of immigrants and Muslims by the administration,” the groups said. “For example, the Trump administration has used the report to justify its sweeping ban on the entry of nationals from six Muslim-majority countries into the United States. It has also specifically tied the report’s findings to its calls for an end to the issuance of diversity and family reunification visas, which would have a significant negative impact on Muslim immigrants.”
At stake is the Information Quality Act, which lays out the goal of government information being accurate, and creates a process for the public to demand corrections, with the agencies required to respond to those requests within 60 days.
Neither the Justice Department nor Homeland Security, which co-authored the report, responded to the groups’ requests, they said.
The groups want the courts to declare the report inaccurate and issue an order banning them from disseminating it….
penelope says
when it is a spade you call it a spade; since it is MUSLIM terrorism that is what you call it. it would be impossible to debrainswash muslims to not be terrorists since it is one of their “pillars” in order to gain control. Wake up folks; islam is an alarming terrorist belief which is the no. one enemy of the world along with soros/alinsky/obama

“The groups want the courts to declare the report inaccurate and issue an order banning them from disseminating it….”
Isn’t this prior restraint?
Bill says
Yes if the government acts to prevent the speech, but the Constitution seems to matter little to government elites and the minions in the judiciary.
JOHN HARRIS says
Islam is seditious and treasonous to America and Our Constitution.
WPM says
The court wants protect some groups from” hurt feelings” over the cost of other people losing their lives. Facts do not matter they must be suppress to protect hurting feelings .
Keys says
Now to find a liberal judge/court.
Lawfare jihad in action all at taxpayer expense.
How can this be stopped, legal experts ?
Keys says
How about asking the judge to dismiss the suit, and asking for court and attorney’s fees ? Is that possible, or have a chance of working, in our legal system ?
boakai ngombu says
perhaps the report could be leaked

Why has izlaam not yet been declared a terrorist philosophy? It is a 7th century evil death cult, nothing less.
Ren says
Muslim group sues to ban government from distributing report showing Muslim migrant involvement in terrorism.
Muslim group will claim that distributing such report will target muslim community. Muslim group won’t admit that Muhammad the founder of islam was a terrorist.
shortfattexan says
It is difficult to determine whether Islam, or Leftism, is the greater threat.
On the one hand, Leftists rarely kill people. They have been known to do so on occasion, but it doesn’t happen all that often.
On the other hand, even though Muslims kill people all the time, it’s also true that, if it weren’t for Leftists, we would not be nearly as vulnerable to the Muslim threat.
It’s the combination of the two that has become so deadly.
Jayell says
So they want to ban the report before the statutory 60 days is up for the accuracy to be investigated? Do they perhaps think that what’s likely to come up in any investigation won’t suit their convenience? Why might they think that?
HugoHackenbush says
How in the world can they have any standing to sue? And on what basis? Can I sue because I think an upcoming government farm report on soybean yields is “untrue” and so might, possibly, maybe, could, hurt my soybean business? This is insane. Hopefully there will be a summary judgement and the case tossed.

Jay Boo, Please refrain from the use of “McCarthyism” as a descriptive those who oppose the cult. There is little difference between those of us who argue against the cult and the senator from Wisconsin. The treat from Stalin and the infiltrators that were in the Federal Government like the State Dept. and the Treasury were just as dangerous as the members of the cult today. Everyone on the senator’s list was proven to be a Soviet saboteur as the Venona List proved. M. Stanton Evans’ book, “Black Listed by History,” explains in detail what Mr. McCarthy was fighting against and just like Mr. Spencer and Ms. Pam Geller, he was crucified by the left leaning media who did not know the difference between the Senate and the House of Representatives. The outrageous attacks upon the senator for the House on UnAmerican Activities Committee’s attempt to highlight the Stalinists’ influence in Hollywood was insane since he was concerned with the infiltration of saboteurs within the defense contractors such as Burroughs and other electronics companies working to increase the strength of America’s ability to protect critical classified information by the use of encryption and details of new aircraft and naval development. The other facet of his endeavor was to prevent the ability of someone who comes under investigation by one federal agency, say State, from resigning and applying to another agency like the Defense Department. If one is under investigation by an agency and the individual resigns, the investigation is closed and in most cases sealed which leaves the person the ability to apply to another agency without the new one knowing anything about the previous actions of the individual; this is still pretty much in effect today. I know of one individual forced to resign from the State Department for bad conduct while assigned to an African post who applied for an position as an IT supervisor for the Treasury Department and was hired because when he resigned from State, his file was closed.
I know that I am off track regarding the original article about the cult trying to prevent the disclosure of their activities and their propensity to use terror as a tool for subjugation of the West but it really hits a nerve when someone maligns the conservative Senator from Wisconsin. I do totally agree with your statement about Obama and his attack upon Christianity such as blaming the Crusades upon the Christians and his love for the sound of the muezzin. CAIR and other seditious groups are trying to prevent the American people from seeing information like “73 percent of the 549 people convicted of international terrorism between 2001 and 2016 were foreign born” in an attempt to blind western civilization to the dangers of these cretins.

…………………….
Muslims are desperate that Infidels not learn the truth.
Mark Swan says
Imagine to gall to try and prevent a report that offers to allow the public a better informed
source of what is to be expected with Islam’s connection to violent coercion .
Still more proof of a concerted effort to keep the public from knowing what those who oppose
this report already know—Islam’s usage of any and all tools to spread, take root and with anonymity.
mary says
This article proves beyond the shadow of a doubt WHY it is that we need to pray for our governments, that they will do what is right in the Lord’s eyes. The temptation to do wrong, sometimes cash for same, intimidation, blackmail and the like… seems to be the sorts of things that politicians face everyday.
Save Europe says
They’re increasingly attempting to silence everyone in Western countries. How about they have marches saying – not in my name! – against ISIS? Oh, no….wait! Not going to happen….
Not Dumb Enough says
FACT: Islam and Sharia Law are 180° opposite from American values, traditions and our Constitution.
FACT: Sharia is the religious law governing the members of the Islamic faith.
FACT: Sharia Law demands that it be the only law.
FACT: Sharia Law requires the elimination of our Constitution and all federal, state and local laws.
FACT: Sharia Law requires the elimination of all non-Muslims unless they convert to Islam.
FACT: Sharia Law is treasonous and seditious under our Constitution and laws.
• Our demise will come because of our own stupidity, ignorance and laziness.

Classic case of Muslims MISUSING the freedom and democratic laws of the host infidel nation.. a classic Trojan Parasite that uses the host mechanism to its own end with the final destruction of the host.. Use the same democracy that Sharia hates and wants to destroy.
Firefoxhits says
Relativism, the liberal blue pill poisoning minds. Islam is just another religion, but should be tolerated cuz it isn’t Christianity. Moslems are so easily offended, so don’t question Islam. Forget nationalism. Patriotism is unnecessary. Borders are offensive. Freedom of speech is unsafe and Zuckerburg doesn’t like it. Let’s give up our freedom and liberty so snowflakes can feel safe.
Simo Hayha says
But, but, but, to tell THE TRUTH, based on careful research and analysis could cause muslims to be “offended.” And if dread fear of being disrespected! And looked down upon. And wondering if EVERYTHING muslims say is a friggin LIE! And 98% of ALL terrorist attacks world-wide have been perpetrated BY MUSLIMS bent on going to aloha’s personal “heaven” to bang 72 virgins, PLUS “Little Boys Scattered Before You Like Pearls!” Well, it doesn’t say those 72 virgins will be human females. It doesn’t even say they will be females. It doesn’t say they will not be goats, sheep, or camels!
J D S says
Of course Muslims don’t want any more bad light shown on them and they will do everything they can to obliterate anything that shows them in a bad light….but a light has been shown on them so God forbid that any law enforcement, judge or anyone else would see them any other way than what Muslim terrorist are. Muslim Terrorist and Their numbers are climbing every day.

Designate the Muslim Brotherhood the terrorist organization that it is. Start deporting the traitors NOW.

Muslims should simply leave western countries if they fear Islamophobia so much.

From a Muslim perspective, its quite reasonable to expect dhimmis to lie for Allah?
Ezra says
As I am outside the religion of peace I expect all truth that I state about the true God of the Universe will be the called a lie by those who follow the false prophet and his allah. Everything I am told by moslems is by definition a lie they tell to advance their cause.
