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."

"It is unfortunate you have obtained these documents," said one upset FBI agent who added, "it makes us look bad."

Unfortunately, keeping the Bureau from "looking bad" seems to be the FBI's top priority.

Yeah, our Republic is finished. Nothing seems to be going correctly anymore. There is no way these FBI jerks will be fired or diciplined.

"Don't have a clue," huh? Aren't there INS or customs records of American citizens who have recently visited Pakistan or neighboring countries?

Suggestion...the first place that I would look would be in Hillary's closet.

It sounds as though all the government law enforcement agencies have been recruiting from Cracker Jack boxes and Iraq. They, from GWB on down, need to learn what Islam truly is. There ARE experts, but they are either completely mystified at the sheer evil of it, or they honestly do not recognize it. They had better get a clue, and I mean NOW!!!!

:: DOES ISLAM MEAN PEACE? "Salaam" is "peace" in Arabic. "Islam" means something entirely different. According to the "Hans Wehr Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic", the dictionary of choice for the Arabic Studies Department at several well-known universities, Islam is defined as "submission, resignation." Other forms of the word, "taslim" and "istislam," mean "handing over, submission, surrender, capitulation, unreckoning approval, resignation."

Tell the UCF President that the bigot, Prof Alarian, profiled on NBC last night must go!!!!

I think this is the Al-Alarian you're after.  He's at USF, not UCF.

Are our FBIs just plain afraid of real criminals?

Or maybe the Muslim moles are there too?

Rita Cosby did an interview with Ibrahim Hooper, for heaven's sake, the chairman of CAIR, and he had the cajones to say that HIS association had never said anything anti-American, while insisting that the bombing should stop on RamaLamaDingDongen. Rita played him a tape of his own assistant, and he still wormed his way 'round it.
Muszis.
OMG they are so evil!

One and the same. Thanks to O'Reilly, he isn't teaching anymore, but it was HIS nephew who was taken forcefully from the WhiteHouse when they had that stink about Bush being anti-Arab. The guy still works for David Bonier, if I remember right.
