"If the Nation of Islam ties were too controversial for Michael Jackson, it should be too controversial for the NOPD. New Orleans is a very diverse community with strong ties to the Jewish and Catholic faiths. Hiring an individual who is affiliated with such a hate filled group that has a history of anti-White, anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic rhetoric is an insult to all such individuals on the police force and in New Orleans. Obviously, Chief Compass needs sensitivity training to realize the implications of his decision."
It may have already been said, but Compass did feel some heat and changed his mind about hiring him.
Does that really matter? The fact that Compass, 3-1/2 years after 9/11, and after DC sniper and NOI member John Muhammed's reign of terror -- after all the volumes written and spoken about NOI and Islam, and the recruitment of violent criminals by Islam in prisons -- after all that, Compass would consider using NOI to teach "sensitivity" to the police -- is mind-boggling.
So.. it didn't happen? NOPD DIDN'T hire NOI, afterall?
Very interesting. Very. Big news when it was a potential; but I read nothing about it when it didn't "happen". Curious.
