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...

Spot on!
Call Elliot Nest?
Should be happy that they have NOT been interned (yet?).
This is a change of policy, because after the Japs attacked, they WERE interned.
Alternate Headline: "Muslims Not Interned, Should Be Grateful"
Merry Christmas to you too!
I would have to say they are.... from feedback I get here and there. But....if you knew for sure... so would "they". :)
Who said their rights are DIMINISHED? I'm sensing that they have more rights than the rest of us.
Don't forget the "Jersey Girls".
"In that case, what does it have to do with a warrant? If you need a warrant, then you need a warrant irrespective whether you do it randomly or not."
Why silly goose, only republican president's need a warrant. I thought you knew that.
All that's needed is for Denny Hastert to call for a House Resolution to abandon testing, based on Rat complaints, and put it to a full vote.
Gee...would that be anything like Sharia Law...where non-Islamazis cannot testify as to any crimes by an Islamazi? Where the word of a terrorist is taken over anyone elses? Where a woman needs the testimony of 4 male witnesses to a rape in order to charge an Islamazi with rape...otherwise she's accused of adultery and stoned to death? I guess the Islamazis don't like Dhimmi-tude when THEY are the Dhimmis (rightly so here!).

Hmm...so any smoker gets fined if cigarette smoke is detected external to their home...restaraunts are fined if you can smell their food cooking in the streets...hospitals and DR/DDs offices are scanned for x-ray leakage and fined if any is detected...but when ionizing Radiation (Gamma/x ray) is detected/looked for external to an Islamazi Klavern (Mosque) it's a violation of their "Freedoms"? What freedom is this one...the freedom to kill/irradiate the infidels?
Pound sand Islamazis and your quisling Ilk in the Marxiststream Mediots! Cry me a river, you dirty camel shaggers!
IOW...die and get the "F" out of my Country!
When they die, bury them in pig entrails.
They are taking us over, bit by bit.
extremely well put, PB. Yer right, for anyone to make this argument with a straight face can only mean they need a straight jacket!
Could care less if they are angry or their feelings are hurt. We haven't had another 9/11 and I don't think that's all because of being lucky.
Now that the secret is out they'll have to store their nukes in the basement of the DNC building. Better put radiation badges on all the dems.
Those muslims who feel they have a right to a multicultural existence don't. It is written nowhere in the constitution. It is plain now that it does not work!
Replace the word Muslim with Terrorist and it is probably closer to the truth.
I would think that they would want to be protected from harm as other "Americans" are.
Aren't most of those suppose to be blue states?
There is a small possibility that this was leaked to get the bad guys to move something or some one.
