Why are Muslim and Arab "civil rights" groups the only ones protesting new FBI rules to fight terrorism?
Why aren't mainstream Christian and Jewish groups protesting the new guidelines handed down by Attorney General John Ashcroft and his Justice Department? Or Hispanic groups?
Maybe because Muslim, mostly Arab, terrorists including at least two 9/11 hijackers deliberately used U.S. mosques to fundraise for and plan terrorist attacks. Maybe because they knew that, under the old rules, it had been difficult for FBI counterterrorism operatives to surveil terrorists once they stepped into the mosques. And they, the terrorists and many Muslim allies in the U.S. took advantage of this.
