DETROIT (AP) -- A Michigan Muslim organization said Thursday it has asked U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate complaints alleging the FBI is asking followers of the faith to spy on Islamic leaders and congregations.

The Council of Islamic Organizations of Michigan sent a letter last week to Holder after mosques and other groups reported members of the community have been approached to monitor people coming to mosques and donations they make.

Sandra Berchtold, a spokeswoman in the FBI's Detroit office, had no immediate comment.

Dawud Walid, executive director of the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said such complaints aren't new, but concerns grew after a recent revelation the FBI planted a spy in a Southern California mosque.

According to liberals if you paint all Muslims as being Osama bin Laden, you're a hater.

If you paint all blacks at Willie Horton, you're a racist.

But if you paint all conservatives as Timothy McVeigh, you're an enlightened liberal.

Liberals are the narrow minded bigots.

Thanks Civ!
