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.

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

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!
