Muslims angered by FBI radiation checks at mosques [Right to bear nuclear bombs under attack]

WASHINGTON — Federal law-enforcement officials said Friday that FBI agents have secretly monitored radiation levels at Islamic mosques, businesses and homes for several years in large cities to determine whether nuclear or chemical bombs were being assembled.

The officials said no suspicious radiation levels have been found.

The disclosure, after the revelation last week that the government has secretly spied on U.S. citizens without court permission, angered a number of U.S. Muslim leaders. They cited a Supreme Court ruling three months before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in which the justices rejected such government monitoring.

"All Americans should be concerned about the apparent trend toward a two-tiered system of justice, with full rights for most citizens and another diminished set for Muslims," said Nihad Award, an official of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nation's largest Muslim civil-liberties group.

But Justice Department officials said the monitoring was lawful. They said that investigators used special equipment to gauge radiation levels at homes, warehouses and religious centers of Muslim groups, and that the testing was done in or near parking lots and driveways, areas the government views as public property.

They said the testing was still taking place. It was first reported Friday by U.S. News & World Report...

The testing took place on public property, and is clearly legal. The Rats' reaction to all this just shows what we've all known since 911, which is that they don't really believe 911 changed anything, despite the 5 years of lying they've done. Now they make no pretense of their contempt for efforts to prevent another 911.

Yes, we must prove our tolerance toward our islamist invaders by giving them the first nuke attack free.

This map is a bit outdated.  More Mosque's have sprung up across the US since this map was published.

I see the liberal media is still quoting CAIR, which is funded by Hamas.

So secret that it's broadcast all over the place?

We must show our tolerance of this by approving a three mile radius around every mosque and mulsim home denoting that there is an intelligence gathering free zone within that radius.

They must be assured that no watching orlistening can be done in any way shape or form so that they may go about their Jihad in peace and prosperity.

Federal law enforcement officials said this? I'd like to know who, specifically, so that we can arrange their firing.

The RATs should come up with legislation that makes it illegal to test for radiation.

Good. And I want the stinking RATS to publicly state that when they regain the House and the Senate that they will cease all monitoring for nuclear materials at Islamic locations. I DARE them to say it!

If some rogue Islamists had stockpiled radioisotopes (for a dirty
bomb) in a mosque, thus harming some innocent Muslims, CAIR and
every USA lefty would be crying:

WHY DIDN'T BUSH PROTECT OUR VULNERABLE MUSLIM CITIZENS?

As far as I'm concerned the following freeper slogan sums up the fact
that Dubya has done the right things and thus prevented any more
terrorist attacks in the USA:

BUSH SPYED, NOBODY DIED

While the news as reported attempts to argue racial profiling [religion is not a race], the MSM profiles just as much or more, and as an institution of the state ought to not receive special dispensation.

This story is related to a book promotion by the NYTimes.

Never, ever trust a muslim. Lying and deceit are promoted in their effect to murder innocent civilian men, women and children.

So Clinton could spy on white supremist groups in the wake of Oklahoma City but Bush can't spy on Muslims in the wake of 9/11. Do I have that right?

Since abnormal levels of radiation can cause cancer, you'd think the ingrate Muslims would be glad the Feds are doing this, at taxpayer expense.

It's just a misunderstanding. CAIR and the media tools have confused the American right to privacy with the Islamic right to piracy. In the meantime, Iran is actually building a nuclear bomb in the face of major hand-wringing from the EUnuchs but as long as the FBI isn't doing radiation checks on their UN mission or their PR firm, I guess our freedoms are safe.
