FBI Readies Census of Muslims and Mosques

Agents in the FBI's 56 field offices will begin taking their own census of Muslims and their places of worship as part of the nation's anti-terrorism effort -- a mandate that has ratcheted up the fear level in the Muslim community.

''The impression it gives to the public is that you should be suspicious of every mosque you see because something bad could be going on there,'' said Omar Dajani,

welllllll.....I say DUH!

[Sacajaweau]

Atta's "WILL" pretty much said it all!!

[JustPiper]

What rights do they have if they are not U.S. citizens?
I'm sure we are not targeting black mosques! I have one mosque near me that is always protected by the 17th police district in Chicago, they garner 24 police protection?! Me and many other victims could never get police protection like that, we'd have to hire bodyguards! These people going into this mosque don't look like good muslims I tellya!

If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.

I feel their pain...let them eat cake.

Allah Akbar!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

They should publish the list, in case WE The People need it later...

''Such religious profiling would not be contemplated for any other religious minority in the United States, and would be soundly and instantly condemned by all leaders,''

I can't think of any other religious minority (other than socialists) who have declared a holy war against the US.

[RCW2001]

The FBI said mosques are included in the survey to protect the Muslim community from hate crimes...

"We are from the Government, we are here to help"... ;)

'We will do everything legally possible to prevent an act of terrorism,'' said Paul Bresson, an FBI spokesman. 'And we hope to foster dialogue and build a better bridge with the Arabic community.'

"Bridge"??

Wouldn't it be better to build a moat?

As noted here, the Muslims don't have a legal leg to stand on. Megan's Law has already established the precedent that the government can require anyone to register with the police. The FBI plan falls far short of that (though if that fails, we just register all Muslims).

I'm in Jacksonville Fl and we have a pretty big mosque here ( looks big to m, anyway) and they are across the street from a nondenominational church. Well anyway I've seen cops directing the traffic for them to cross the street....don't know about any other protection but they probably do have some.

[tutstar]

yeah really, we weren't attacked by Catholics were we?

[Johnny Crab]

And we ain't seen any church deacons blow themselves up recently in any part of the world either!

[goodnesswins]

So, would the Muslims rather the American public take the census? (Bet there would be a lot of volunteers!)

I have a very good friend who is a Jordanian Christian. He is also a black belt and strong as an ox. I don't know if you could beat him up or if you would want to, but he feels the same way about iSLAM as you do. I think it would be good to try to distinguish between good Arab Americans and Muslims (American, Arab or otherwise).

Anyway, these are my million dollar questions. Nobody seems to be able to answer them. George Bush tries repeatedly to reassure us about the “religion of peace”, but:


Why is the religion of peace directly responsible for 28 out of the 30 violent conflicts raging in the world today?

Why is the religion of peace responsible for the vast majority of chattel slavery in the world today?

Why is the religion of peace responsible for the vast majority of terrorism in the 20th and 21st Centuries?

Why are the practitioners of the religion of peace routinely slaughtering unarmed practitioners of every other religion wherever they can get away with it?

Why does the religion of peace call for the murder of anyone who converts from the religion of peace to another religion?

Why do so many of the believers of the religion of peace look forward to the opportunity to rape 72 virgins in heaven if they die while killing innocent women and children of other religions? Is it a god they worship, or just sex? If a god, then shouldn’t heaven have more to do with him than their libidos?

Why do the leaders of the religion of peace routinely issue fatwas (death warrants) for anybody who questions their holy book of peace and their holy prophet of peace?

Why is the religion of peace responsible for the sexual mutilation of millions of little girls and the savage oppression of women?

Why did millions of the practitioners of the religion of peace laugh, cheer and dance in the street because 3,000 innocent men, women and children were murdered by seventeen men who supposedly “hijacked” the religion of peace? And why don’t the real practitioners of the religion of peace condemn the supposed “hijackers” of their religion? Why the deafening silence? Why the smiles? Why the cheers and high fives?

Hmmmm?

Perhaps I just don’t understand this whole PEACE thing. Did the definition of the word change, or is somebody just blowing a lot of smoke?

[RIGHT IN SEATTLE]

I think it is about time that the Muslims were lent a helping hand.............

(thank Jesus that they are out of my pocket)

[harbingr]

The Religion of Peace is anything but...it is doctrinely opposed to freedom, democracy, Christianity and Judaism - it was born of Satanic hate and vengeance...

Evil Islam and the False Prophet Mohammed

let the loud whining and breast-thumping commence.
