I have a feeling that some people are going to have a problem with this. Via Wired
The FBI is teaching its counterterrorism agents that “main stream†[sic] American Muslims are likely to be terrorist sympathizers; that the Prophet Mohammed was a “cult leaderâ€; and that the Islamic practice of giving charity is no more than a “funding mechanism for combat.
†At the Bureau’s training ground in Quantico, Virginia, agents are shown a chart contending that the more “devout†a Muslim, the more likely he is to be “violent.†Those destructive tendencies cannot be reversed, an FBI instructional presentation adds: “Any war against non-believers is justified†under Muslim law; a “moderating process cannot happen if the Koran continues to be regarded as the unalterable word of Allah.†(many documents obtained by Wired follow this paragraph).
These are excerpts from dozens of pages of recent FBI training material on Islam that Danger Room has acquired. In them, the Constitutionally protected religious faith of millions of Americans is portrayed as an indicator of terrorist activity.
Obviously, pointing out the inherent violence in the religion is not politically correct, nor is saying that mainstream Muslims, who almost never actually denounce Islamic terrorism, might be Islamic terrorism sympathizers. Interestingly, the Wired story, which reads almost like something on the ACLU’s website, fails to actually, you know, debunk anything in the first paragraph. At least they didn’t mention that Mohammed was an illiterate pedophile.
The other day I was flipping the car radio station, and stopped on 88.1, NCSU’s campus station, which featured a bunch of Muslims talking about how 9/11 affected them in a variety of manners. Know what I never heard? A denunciation of Islamic terrorism. That’s what we rarely ever hear. Yet, the majority of worldwide terrorist acts are perpatrated in the name of Islam.
