ACLU Advice for Muslims Under Surveillance
Infidel Bloggers Alliance points us to some excerpts from the LA Times.
A report that mosques in Los Angeles and San Diego are under federal surveillance has resurrected fears in the Muslim community about government monitoring and led two civil rights groups Wednesday to call for congressional hearings.
[...]
Corey Saylor, Washington spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said the article in the San Diego Union-Tribune “has again raised concerns that our community is being watched.”
[...]
ACLU lawyers regularly go to mosques to advise worshipers that they do not have to answer questions from FBI agents about how long they have been in the United States, how often they attend services and what they get out of the sermons…
amazing: the aclu actually has an outreach program to teach disobedience and obfuscation to potential enemies.
this is treason.
at the very least, this is like a mob lawyer who advise his mafia clients on how to set up rackets in advance of doing crime.
lawyers are then not representing clients, but part of the criminal enterprise.
lawyers have done time for this, and the aclu should be busted for this.
it impedes investigations.
Indeed.

Um no.
This is not teaching of “disobedience and obfuscation to potential enemies.” That’s about the silliest thing I’ve ever heard. Informing someone what their rights are – that they do not have to answer questions – and they do not, unless subpoenaed, is not teaching “disobedience.” It is teaching of obedience to the law.
It is not like a mafia “lawyer.” Giving advice as to how to set up “rackets” is clearly illegal. Giving advice as to how to commit a crime is conspiracy to commit a crime. Giving advice as to how to do something in a way in which you do not commit a crime is the job of a lawyer. You’ve been watching The Godfather a little too much.
Again, not answering questions is within your rights. Even if you arrested. Surely, you’ve heard Miranda rights being read on a million television shows.
For FBI Agents to start asking questions about the content of sermons, well then that raises all sorts of questions implicating the free exercise of religion – something I’d think you conservatives were quite keen on.
Thing is, we at the ACLU are for protecting everyone’s rights, all the time. Pro-Life, Pro-Choice, Christian, Muslim, even Fred-Phelps and the American Nazis.
Probably you’re correct that most Americans don’t support these things – and to be honest, neither do we – we’re interested in the law and we have the law on our side.
You know this makes me sick to my stomach because these terrorists are trying to obtain a WMD to detonate in the United States and he we have the ACLU giving them comfort again. How nice of them. The terrorists just put out a warning about getting a WMD and using it in one or many American cities. But the ACLU still keeps helping them out. I wonder if the ACLU had anything to do with 9/11?
I guess a few million American lives do not matter to the Liberals anymore. Its all about protecting the terrorists and keeping there pockets full. Because all they are doing is helping them do what the want to do to Americans and that is kill us anyway they can.
“For FBI Agents to start asking questions about the content of sermons, well then that raises all sorts of questions implicating the free exercise of religion – something I’d think you conservatives were quite keen on.” Pardon, but what part of Islam do you not understand? It is not a religion only, it contains a religion, but it is also a political system, a legal system, and many other things. While the establishment clause permits people to choose their religion, the first amendment does not permit speech that calls for the violent overthrow of the government and the installation of an alternative.
Nobody need say anything unless they have been subject to a action by the court and at that point may decline to respond if the testimony implicates them in a crime. We are agreed on that. Further lying to a federal official is an offense even if you are not under oath, so perhaps it is always wise not to say anything. Sadly, the reverse is not true, but that is a different matter.
It is an “inconvenient truth” that jihad is not being waged or urged by your local friendly aged nun at the Convent of the Perpetual Perplexity. To monitor the content of a movement that advocates the violent overthrow of the present government is quite within the responsibility of the FBI. It is also true that many Imams do not urge such behaviour. Unfortunately, some do.
