Always screaming racisim, always claiming their rights are being violated, etc, etc, etc... Well, CAIR is up to it again.
The Los Angeles Police Department recently announced a program designed to gather information on Muslims living in the city. According to the article in Yahoo News:
“The LAPD's counterterrorism bureau plans to identify Muslim enclaves
in order to determine which might be likely to become isolated
and susceptible to "violent, ideologically based extremism …
we want to know where the Pakistanis, Iranians and Chechens
are so we can reach out to those communities.”
The department apparently plans to collect information with the goal of determining which Muslim communities may be susceptible to the call of Islamist terrorism. Given the significant number of Muslims in L.A., Anti-CAIR believes the Los Angeles Muslim community would be welcoming this plan with open arms. After all, what community, regardless of its racial, political, or religious background wants to have terrorists in its midst? Specifically, terrorists who hide behind a pseudo-religion -Wahhabism- and falsely claim a perverted mandate from a phony god that demands they terror-murder everyone who doesn’t agree with them in his name?
Apparently, the "Muslim community" represented by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) does.
This common-sense plan, which is apparently designed to thwart Islamist extremism, would seem to fit in nicely with CAIR’s supposed devotion to “peaceful” Islam. However, in a letter to the department, signed by CAIR and other so-called representative Islamic groups, along with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the following objection is raised:
"Singling out individuals for investigation, surveillance,
and data-gathering based on their religion constitutes
religious profiling that is just as unlawful, ill-advised
and deeply offensive as racial profiling.”
What is really offensive to North American Muslims, and all other peaceful North Americans, is the presence of terrorists in our communities. Why does CAIR continually fail to acknowledge this simple fact? Why does CAIR consistently side with those who oppose any efforts to reduce the threat of Islamic terrorism in North America?
