Monday afternoon, federal judge Cormac J. Carney decided he had completely had enough with the FBI’s repeated refusal to fork over the details of the surveillance of Muslim leaders and organizations that the Feds have been conducting since shortly after September 11.
The ACLU has been trying to get the files for the past three years, but they have been stonewalled. So U.S. District Judge Carney stepped in yesterday and ordered the FBI to turn over to him about 100 documents that detail the bureau’s surveillance of So Cal Muslims.
(One million Muslims live in California.)
Judge Carney further told the bureau to conduct an immediate search of all its offices nationwide for documents relating to the Council on American-Islamic Relations of Greater Los Angeles (CAIR) and its executive director.
Instead, the agency has provided redacted versions of reports that have heightened suspicions among the Muslim communities in LA and in Orange County that even the most apparently innocuous events are being monitored.
One would have hoped we were beyond all this J. Edgard Hoover crap. But one would be wrong.
It is common sense that when million of muslims were dancing in the street on 9-11 that some of those dancing were living in LA.
Liberals will wail and cry why didn’ you protect us when there are thousands of dead American including dead muslims who the vast majority are good neighbors and citizens.
Liberals won’t even admit that the terrorists who attacked us and continue to plot aainst us are Muslims. Why, they won’t even call them terrorists! Under Obama, terrorism has become “man made disasters.”
Liberals would rather thousands of Americans die rather than accept profiling of the obvious suspects to prevent attacks.
Even discussing Islam in connection with terror is a hate crime to liberals. From, of all things, an article by Liptak, which covers another article worth reading: Unlike Others, U.S. Defends Freedom to Offend in Speech
The presumption that the FBI is acting in good faith is itself taken in bad faith.
There are plenty of reasons to redact information from current investigations. While I realize that “profiling” is anathema to libs, it is a fact that Islam is currently the most dangerous ideology to us, and its teachings are currently interpreted by a large percentage of Muslims in ways that are:
-advocating violence
-misogynistic
-religiously intolerant
-strongly favoring a state religion of Muslim
-anti-Semitic
Hence it is appropriate for the FBI to keep an eye on Muslim populations and centers… not because most of them are a danger, but because a few of them are a very significant danger.
The ACLU is not known for its reasonableness in areas like this. Let’s see how Obama’s FBI handles this – will they cave in to political correctness, endangering all of us, or will they fight for our freedoms?

reg goes all over creation to link his posts at BH. reg, if people cared what you posted, you wouldn’t have to go for the free advertising.
Today, they’re ardent supporters of secret government surveillance of potentially dangerous persons. Yesterday, they arose, Spartacus-like, announcing, “We are all Right Wing Extremists,” (http://www.gmsplace.com/?p=1231) and you should be ashamed of yourselves for considering wackos like this guy (http://tinyurl.com/c7wlbg) dangerous. Just a reminder, fellas, you’re supposed to wait a few days before engaging in this level of hypocrisy. Gotta at least keep us on our toes.
