Fearing charges of religious persecution, the FBI for years has hesitated to investigate radical Islamic clerics in the United States despite evidence that their mosques have been used to recruit and fund suspected terrorists, present and former law enforcement officials said.

Even after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, "the veil of religion that has been draped over mosques . . . will be tough to move off," an FBI official said last week. "The Arab American community can become enraged and beat on the FBI."

Why do the good people of FR, with keen minds and vast experience with the press, believe this article? Who's the Clinton FBI mole who keeps spreading such bilge. As Donald Rumsfeld would say ...the journalist and the "source" are both thumbsuckers.

It's all a lie. They went after the blind Sheikh Rahman in 1992-93, attempting to set him up in bombing plot stings. The FBI has investigated these weirdos in the past, and even arrested, tried, convicted and incarcerated Rahman. When they claim they are "afraid" of investigating these clerics, they are just LYING.

Seems like everyone except the FBI knows that the muslin "religion" is a CULT. We will have to get Janet Reno back and tell her they are just like Branch Davidians and to do her stuff.

That's exactly why we need a fearless leader to do what's right, no matter what... I believe GW is that man, and I will support him no matter what the rest of the handwringers quibble about!!
