The Obama administration has once again caved into the demands of Islamic activists that have already strong-armed federal and local law enforcement agencies into purging anti-terrorism training material considered offensive to Muslims.
This week the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) suspended a new internet program aimed at preventing the radicalization of youth because Muslim and Arab rights groups determined that it discriminates against Muslims and will lead to bullying, bias and religious profiling of students. The interactive website ("Don't Be a Puppet") was created by the U.S. government as a tool for the nation's schools to prevent susceptible youth from getting recruited online by terrorists. The ultimate goal is to combat a growing epidemic of violent extremism by keeping youth from falling prey to online terrorists.
The new internet program was supposed to go live on Monday but, like a good lapdog, the FBI nixed it after Muslim rights groups whipped out the discrimination card. One of them, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, issued a victory statement saying the website improperly characterized Muslims as a suspect community with targeted focus and stereotypical depictions that could exasperate the problem by leading to bullying, bias and religious profiling. The group also fired off a follow-up letter, signed by other Muslim rights advocates, suggesting the FBI stay away from schools. The newly cancelled online initiative "creates a dangerous precedent of FBI overreach into sectors of our society that are best managed by experts, like teachers, curriculum developers, and other educators," according to the council and its allies.
Muslim rights groups, especially the terrorist front organization Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), have proven they wield tremendous power in the Obama administration. This is especially true when it comes to the way the nation's law enforcement agencies conduct anti-terrorism training. In fact, it was CAIR that got the FBI to purge anti-terrorism material determined to be offensive to Muslims. Judicial Watch uncovered that scandal a few years ago and obtained hundreds of pages of FBI documents with details of the arrangement. JW also published a special in-depth report on the subject.
CAIR and its allies also got several police departments in President Obama's home state of Illinois to cancel essential counterterrorism courses over accusations that the instructor was anti-Muslim. The course was called "Islamic Awareness as a Counter-Terrorist Strategy" and departments in Lombard, Elmhurst and Highland Park caved into CAIR's demands. The group responded with a statement commending officials for their "swift action in addressing the Muslim community's concerns." CAIR has flexed its muscle in a number of other cases during the Obama presidency, including blocking an FBI probe involving the radicalization of young Somali men in the U.S. and pressuring the government to file discrimination lawsuits against employers who don't accommodate Muslims in the workplace.
Last year Islamic activists took it a step further by demanding a complete overhaul in the way all law enforcement officers are trained in the United States. In a letter to Lisa O. Monaco, the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, the coalition of Muslim rights organizations request that the Obama administration implement a mandatory retraining program for all federal, state and local law enforcement officials who may have been subjected to materials they deem "biased and discriminatory" against Muslims. They also called for an audit of all federal law enforcement and intelligence gathering training and educational materials to identify and remove information that could exhibit bias against any race, ethnicity, religion or national origin.
Impeachment is more than warranted.
The ‘Don’t Be A Puppet’ FBI has decided to be a puppet of King 0bamatollah.. This story shows that the FBI will NOT indict Hillary because the King will tell them not to..
These people are not stupid. They know that PC is a crippling disability that the western world suffers from.
They use our unwavering worship of PC to their full advantage. They know what they are doing.
January 20th, 2017 can’t get here fast enough.
It would be nice if the Obama regime would put the same level of effort towards protecting the United States from foreign invasion as they do trying to make sure no muslim anywhere in the world is “offended” by anything which might be said, written or drawn here.
Amen...If they don’t like it here they can go back to the hell holes they came from.
Exactly! It'll be a day to celebrate.
I will probably shed real tears of joy, and I bet I won't be the only one.
“The Obama administration has once again caved into the demands of Islamic activists...” Caved to the demands of Islamic activists? The Obama administration is an Islamic activist organization.
unless Hillary wins.
Little will change.
“Impeachment is more than warranted. “

And that will NEVER happen.

Another thread for my tagline.
The Mohammed Factor
If you condemn murder you condemn Mohammed.
If you condemn thievery you condemn Mohammed.
If you condemn rape you condemn Mohammed.
If you condemn pedophilia you condemn Mohammed.
If you condemn terrorism you condemn Mohammed.
If you condemn Mohammed you condemn Islam.
Sorry you feel that way. I don't know how I'd go on living if I were that pessimistic.
If Hillary were to somehow win, we'd likely see this country go into a full-scale meltdown. I'm talking a division so deep that it would probably result in a breakup of the republic.
The country is like a powder keg as it is. Dems have lost over a thousand elections since 2010, precisely because Americans are sick to death of what the Democrats are doing to us. If the left thinks they can elect another Dem president and turn the tide back in their favor, they're more nuts than we think they are.
Under the current circumstances, it's tough to believe that any Dem can win the White House, let alone, a woman who's way past her sell-by date on the national stage, who's nearly a carbon copy of the current Resident, and who is distrusted by the vast majority of the people.
I don't see how they win, but if they somehow did, the push back from the people would rise to a whole new level.
Just keep voting, keep doing the same thing and tell yourself the outcome will be different.
Enormous despotic powers have accumulated in the executive branch. No election alone can restore the separation of powers on which our freedom depends.
The next president will be a despot, whose level of arbitrary power will far more resemble those of Hugo Chavez than George Washington.

I know where you're coming from, Jackie, and as bad as things are, we still have to keep that small flame of hope alive, or we die inside.
It's a testament to what a fine group of people Americans are, that we continue to try to fix things through the civil processes the Framers left to us, instead of burning the whole thing to the ground. I think it shows the level of belief and trust we have in our system, even though we're fully aware of how corrupted it's become.
Time will tell whether our faith is misplaced, or whether the system can work as envisioned, so long as the people do their part. Who knows what it will really take to restore our country? What I do know, is that the people have had enough, and that they're only barely keeping the thin veil of civility in place, at this time.
We can't be pushed much further than we have been, without a major dislocation of the civil order occurring. I think most Americans are willing to give it one last try before giving up and resorting to other means.
Instead of making the program “Don’t Be a Puppet” only applicable to school age Muslims, why not incorporate it into a program for all public schools from grade 7 and up so our children learn to think logically and not to be communist sheep or end up saluting the fascist leader as I saw in a picture posted here on FR today.
