Muslims inside FBI describe culture of suspicion and fear: 'It is cancer'
The Guardian ^ | 22 March 2017 | Spencer Ackerman

Posted on 03/22/2017 3:53:51 PM PDT by detective

Muslim special agents and intelligence analysts at the FBI are reporting a climate of fear inside the agency coinciding with the political ascendance of Donald Trump, the Guardian has learned.

FBI officials from Muslim-majority countries, a minority in a predominantly white bureau, say they are subject to an organizational culture of suspicion and hostility that leadership has done little to reform. At least one decorated intelligence analyst has been fired this year after a long ordeal which began with a routine foreign visit to see his family.

His case and others in which Muslim agents have reported a workplace culture that includes open-ended investigations predicated on their backgrounds were brought to the personal attention of the FBI’s director, James Comey, throughout 2016.

The first question is why are Muslims in the FBI at all.

Their loyalty is to Islam, not to the United States.

The FBI Director "Comey has publicly described the bureau’s overwhelming whiteness as a problem for the bureau." That is right in the article.

Something is very wrong here.

Yes, Islam is a cancer, in whatever body is its host.

“Muslim special agents and intelligence analysts at the FBI are reporting a climate of fear inside the agency...”

Only Islamic Extremists would be worried that they can no longer ply their trade in the protected manner they are use to.

Muslims should NOT be in FBI nor USA nor UK.
(that they gravitate to security and defense and intelligence agencies...is part of the invasion plan)

pray DJT starts repatriating them as soon and quickly as possible!

pray for America (And UK, and Belgium, and France, and Germany, and Italy, and Israel, and Sweden, and now Canada that we all can repel the Moslem invasion and return them to their own countries this year!)

Trust a muslim? You’ve got to be kidding me.

Islam is the cancer. Not suspicion of it.

Not quite as bad, though, as being a Christian in a Muslim country.

The first question is why are Muslims in the FBI at all.

They do need translators, interpreters, undercover agents, and people confidential informants can trust.

I'm suspicious of the story, though. If this was going on at all, it was going on before Trump was elected. It's too convenient to blame it all on the new president.

When you have people who are hired and paid to be suspicious and people in suspicious situations with suspicious connections, you have "a culture of suspicion." Isn't that inevitable?

A little suspicion of the Irish guy in the Boston bureau would have brought Whitey Bulger in 20 or 30 years before they finally caught him.

A culture of suspicion and fear?
Isn’t that part of the job?
Sounds like they need new employment
