Some Muslims rethink close ties to law enforcement

(AP) — NEWARK, N.J. - Mohammad Qatanani's mosque was full of FBI agents the night before he was to find out if he would be deported.

But even though the federal government was trying to link Qatanani to foreign extremists, the agents weren't there to keep an eye on him. They wanted to show their support for a Muslim leader they considered a valued ally for the relationships he helped forge between the FBI and Muslims in the wake of 9/11.

Across the nation, such grass-roots relationships between Muslims and the federal government are in jeopardy. A coalition of Muslim groups is calling for Muslims to stop cooperating with the FBI-not on national security or safety issues but on community outreach.

They do not want us to hear anything the Muslims might say that is supportive of terrorism, so of course they do not want us to listen, in the Mosques.

The government should not follow around one armed Swedish grandmothers. That profile has not been very dangerous.

Muslims DESERVE To be profiled and watched, as they are the root of much of our terrorism problem.

The Muslims and Mosques that will not co-operate should be the ones watched and listened to, extremely closely. I have no doubt in my mind that many Mosques in America are being infiltrated and I support it fully. Good post.

They lose any cover in claiming they are not in support of Islamic terrorism, that such terrorist act independent of Islam, when they refuse to “out” the extremists they claim are acting counter to their beliefs.
