ACLU Seeks FBI Surveillance Data on California Mosques

Posted on May 16, 2006

I have a question regarding this. Who will pay?

Behind the rhetoric, grandstanding and whining from the ACLU and CAIR’s demand for the FBI to release documents regarding any post-Sept. 11 surveillance of Southern California mosques and Muslims lies the question of who will pay?

Who will pay for the damage of a terrorist attack perpetrated by Muslim extremists the next time we get hit?

When the terrorists next hit us, and it is found out that they were living here (as they certainly are) and that they were regular attendees of the First Mosque of the Holy Smoking Hole and that IF monitoring had been done someone with a badge and a bit of authority could have stopped the attack, WHO WILL PAY?

CAIR????

Not likely. The “Muslim Civil Rights Group” that refuses to truly fight terrorists and wants to make this country into some mooj paradise will hide their heads in the sand (an action that reminds them of home you know) until the smoke clears and Americans stop waving flags and demanding hajji blood, then stand up and meekly state “we don’t agree with the methods of the people that did this” while continuing behind the scenes to undermine our country and place us in even more danger.

The ACLU????

Nope….they’ll jump up and say “Wow, that sucks dude, but you can’t monitor me or anyone else because we should be free to plot against you.”

I am spitting mad that these groups stand with a straight face and actually hope that people believe their claptrap.

The ACLU filed the request under the federal Freedom of Information Act on behalf of individual Muslims and six Islamic groups, including the Shura Council, an Anaheim-based federation of more than 60 mosques, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim civil rights group whose Southern California chapter is also in Anaheim.
In January, the FBI acknowledged that agents monitored mosques, Muslim-owned businesses and homes throughout the country for radiation levels.
After the radiation monitoring was disclosed in December 2005, FBI officials met with angry Muslim and Arab-American leaders in Washington to explain the surveillance program.
Syed of the Shura Council said he hoped the Freedom of Information Act request would lead to a similar meeting in Los Angeles with local FBI officials.

‘The problem is that we don’t know the extent of the surveillance,’ Syed said.

No, Syed, the problem is that is it none of your business!!!!
The ACLU and CAIR, and all of the other “civil rights groups” that demand we reveal the tactics and results of our monitoring programs that are in place in furtherance of national security have proven by their actions that they stand against this country, our government and, at the end of the day, Freedom.

Perhaps the national dialogue is debating about deporting the wrong people.

In an e-mail, FBI officials said they would ‘address’ the ACLU’s request but did not say whether records would be turned over. ‘The FBI does not investigate anyone based on their lawful activities, religious or political beliefs,’ said Assistant Director J. Stephen Tidwell of the L.A. office.

He added that FBI officials met with members of several local Middle Eastern communities, including Muslims, last month to address their concerns at an agency-sponsored town hall meeting in Los Angeles.

Tidwell said ‘open, honest and continuous dialogue is the only way to build and maintain trust and confidence’ between the communities and the FBI.

But Syed said the FBI had a ‘practice of coming in through the back door to question people based only on the premise of suspicion.’

Imagine that!!! The FBI questioning people on the BASIS OF SUSPICION!!!!

Now, maybe the FBI changed while I wasn’t looking, but I always thought they were a LAW ENFORCEMENT GROUP and that groups such as that made it a habit to question people when they harbored a suspicion about them.

I could be wrong.

Mathieu Deflem, a University of South Carolina professor who studies law enforcement’s role in combating terrorism, said the FBI’s role in preventing another attack often puts the agency at odds with the Muslim community. ‘The relationship with the religion is very delicate,’ he added.

But Deflem said the FBI was justified in monitoring mosques because extremists may try to blend in among worshippers.

For instance, Nawaf Alhazmi and Khalid Almihdhar, who were in the plane that crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11, were virtual unknowns in their community even though they worshiped at a mosque near San Diego.

‘The relationship with the religion is very delicate,’ …..

Well for the life of me I don’t know why the FBI and Muslims have such a delicate relationship. Could it have something to do with the fact that we are at war with muslim extremists all over the world (or so it seems) and the most logical place to look for a muslim extremist is in a MOSQUE!!!!

Nope…that can’t be it.

It must be that the FBI is full of racists that hate Muslims.

Yeah…that’s it.

More on the cozy, “I got your back” relationship between CAIR and the ACLU at Atlass Shrugs. It seems CAIR wants to stop the NSA surveillance too. I can’t help having the question pop in my head…what are they hiding?

ACLU cozying up to CAIR - there’s a marriage made in hell.
The mosques are the only certain places in America where terrorists can be found. Watching these people in no way should effect their ability to worship. On the other hand, not watching them can most definitely effect our ability to survive.
Why does the Left have such an inability to grasp the concept that we are at war, and the enemy are Muslims?
