NYPD Rewords Report That Some Say Insulted Muslims
Foxnews ^ | 9/9/2009 | Staff

Posted on 09/09/2009 5:53:10 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

NEW YORK — The New York Police Department revised a highly touted report on the threat of homegrown terrorism in response to complaints that it was an insult to law-abiding, observant Muslims.

A coalition of Muslim groups on Wednesday applauded the two-page clarification tucked into "Radicalization in the West: The Homegrown Threat" — a study first circulated in law enforcement circles and on the Internet in 2007. The new wording says the NYPD "understands that it is a tiny minority of Muslims who subscribe to al-Qaida's ideology of war and terror."

The clarification also calls the city's Muslim community "our ally," and "as such, the NYPD report should not be read to characterize Muslims as intrinsically dangerous or intrinsically linked to terrorism, and that it cannot be a license for racial, religious, or ethnic profiling."

The report warns that potential terrorists “are not on the law enforcement radar.” They “look, act, talk and walk like everyone around them,” it adds.


Sad that we are now kowtowing to Islam, eh? The report couldn’t use the word Muslim terrorists....let me guess, per Obama, eh?

They lie in wait....

ISLAM AS A SYSTEM

Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.

Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components.
Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called “religious rights.”
When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to “the reasonable” Muslim demands for their
“religious rights,” they also get the other components under the table. Here’s how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007).

As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

United States — Muslim 1.0%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1%-2%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply.

France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — Muslim 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris — car burnings, etc.). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam — Mohammed cartoons).

Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 10-15%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:

Gee, would hate to insult Muslims.

Mohammed was a pedophile.

Just sticking to the facts as reported by the Koran.

Anyone have contact info for NYPD? We need to let them hear from us, in a calm but forceful way.

"The new wording says the NYPD "understands that it is a tiny minority of Muslims who subscribe to al-Qaida's ideology of war and terror."

I hope they included a footnote clarifying that the rest of the Muslims prefer a more gradual "peaceful" route to Islamic domination, a la Europe.

SNIPPET from the article link (AP via FOX NEWS.com) in post no. 1:


"Despite welcoming the changes, the New York-based Muslim American Civil Liberties Coalition accused the NYPD of not doing enough to publicize them. Also, the study still has passages that "criminalize religious behaviors," said Aliya Latif of the New York office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a coalition member."

The weird thing is the Muslims in Italy tend to intermarry and have non-Muslim children.

1-646-610-5000. That is the main switchboard number. The anti-terrorism hotline is 1-888-NYC-SAFE.

US police report blasted for marginalising Muslims
The Muslim ^ | August 25, 2007 | Rana Ghayyour
Posted on August 24, 2007 10:54:15 PM PDT by Ghayyour

The main US Muslim advocacy group and rights organisations have blasted a New York Police Department report suggesting that young American Muslims are particularly vulnerable to be recruited as terrorists.

“Whatever one thinks of the analysis contained in the report, its sweeping generalisations and mixing of unrelated elements may serve to cast a pall of suspicion over the entire American Muslim community,” said Parvez Ahmed, Board Chairman of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

IOL reported that the NYPD suggested that Muslims aged 15-35 are particularly vulnerable to radicalisation.

The 90-page report suggested a four-phased process of radicalisation during which personal crises such as losing a job or suffering from racism can serve as a catalyst.

The report argued that a Muslim can pivot quickly toward violence within two or three years.

“The culmination of this process is a terrorist attack.”

CAIR ridiculed the report’s suggestions that positive changes in personal behavior such as giving up smoking, drinking and gambling are signs of radicalisation: “Is Islamic attire or giving up bad habits, which is something recommended by leaders of all faiths, now to be regarded as suspicious behavior?”

The rights advocacy group also complained that the report listed sites that are likely to be visited by any American Muslim as radicalisation “incubators”. The sites listed include mosques, cafes, cab driver hangouts, student associations, nongovernmental organisations, butcher shops, and book stores.

Ahmed added: “While labeling almost every American Muslim as a potential terrorist, the report’s authors admit that their findings offer no useful way to identify real terror suspects.”

He warned of the report backlash: “By promoting stereotypes and unwarranted suspicions, the report’s authors encourage marginalisation of and hostility toward the American Muslim community.”

In its 2006 annual report, CAIR documented a surge of almost 25 per cent in discrimination and hate crimes against American Muslims.

It recently urged Muslims nationwide to review security procedures to protect their places of worship, citing an increase in incidents involving vandalism of mosques and several physical attacks.

It has circulated a set of guidelines designed to protect mosques and their worshippers which includes building good relationships with neighbors, having people attend the mosque regularly and consulting with the community relations officer of the local police department.

Christopher Dunn, of the New York Civil Liberties Union, said the report risks turning law-abiding Muslims away from cooperating with the authorities: “While aggressive counterterrorism policies are to be commended, this report appears to treat all young Muslims as suspects and to lay the groundwork for wholesale surveillance of Muslim communities without there being any sign of unlawful conduct.”

“To target Muslims in this way would mark a dangerous and unlawful erosion of the line separating the police from lawful religious activity,” he cautioned.

The Executive Director of The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Kareem W. Shora, said the police report was stigmatising the whole Muslim community: “The report is at odds with federal law enforcement findings, including those of the recently released National Intelligence Estimate, and uses unfortunate stereotyping of entire communities.”

Since the 9/11 attacks, American Muslims have become sensitised to an erosion of their civil rights, with a prevailing belief that America was targeting their faith

The report has been delivered to the White House, the CIA, the FBI and the Homeland Security Department.

“Law abiding Muslims” where? They are liars, thieves and murderers. There is no redeeming values in any of them. Do not be fooled!

I’ve seen the numbers and claims before, and watched supporting evidence accumulate. 1% is about 3M. Would any leave if offered the opportunity? We’d have to find room for the rest....

You’re wrong.

You’re wrong because you’re painting them as all being the same.

They aren’t.

Period.

Now, for review...this is a true statement as of this post/date/time: Most terrorists are muslims. Most muslims are not terrorists.
