OC Muslims say FBI surveillance has a chilling effect

Use of an informant in Orange County leads some to avoid mosques and cut charitable giving.

Terrorists and jew haters hardest hit.

[xcamel]

ummm..

GOOD.

[Retired Greyhound]

They should be paranoid.

I ease drop on their services all the time (or do I?)

[randomhero97]

If you don’t like it go back to whatever shithole you came from. This is our country.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Fortunately, so many of the Muslims who regularly attended that mosque were willing to come forward and identify those who advocated criminal acts, that the surveillance was unnecessary.

SNIPPET from the link at post no.1:

"And some mosques have asked speakers to refrain from political messages in their sermons, such as criticism of U.S. foreign policy, said Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Anaheim."

I feel sorry for the informant who had to put up with tons of anti-USA rhetoric. I a sure he wanted t slap a couple of people silly.

Now if the FBI could infiltrate the Housewives of Orange County, THAT would be a coup.

[freedumb2003]

So the fact the FBI found that Mosques are hiding anti-American terrorist planning and/or support means those activities go away if the FBI stops surveillance?

This is most excellent!! Finally some good news today!

[LiteKeeper]

I sure hope it has a chilling effect!!! What is it they are afraid of having known?

[doorgunner69]

So what is the problem? Don’t like it, go practice your wailing and thrashing in a muzzie country. There is a damn good reason you are being watched fool..............

[RobRoy]

One word.

Good.

I literally see them as the modern equivalent of the German American Bund.

[RobRoy]

This would not have a “chilling” affect on my church. We would welcome it.

[jusduat]

That’s so kind of you. I view them as a cancer on humanity

[starlifter]

If they're cold then they can go back to Saudia Arabia. It's warmer there.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The revelations dismayed mosque members like Omar Turbi, 50, and his 27-year-old son who shares his name.

Were they dismayed at the fact their mosque attracted a terrorist or that the FBI was following him?

[RobRoy]

You missed my point. My point was that we would have nothing to hide and they may even find Jesus if they did it to our church.

[jusduat]

Yes, I did miss that. I hope that we will always have
nothing to hide in being Christians.
