So now Muslims plotting to commit jihad terror are not to be touched because it’s islamophobic?

“FBI questions several North Texas Muslims about terror plot,” FOX4News.com, Nov 07 2016:
DALLAS – The FBI reportedly interviewed numerous North Texas Muslims after warning about a terrorist plot ahead of the election.
The online chatter on terrorist websites mentioned attacks Monday in Texas, New York and Virginia.
The DFW Council on American-Islamic relations says at least 14 local Muslims have been contacted by FBI agents. CAIR claims the Muslims are being asked questioned related to that possible threat.
CAIR’s local executive director says the phone calls and in-person visits from FBI agents, have put the Muslim community in North Texas on edge. It prompted her to create a PSA of sorts on social media. That video has since gone viral.
“The FBI agent informed them that they were doing a broad sweep across the country that they had a couple hundred names and wanted to talk to them about what they might possibly know,” Alia Salem, CAIR DFW Executive Director.
The Dallas FBI office would not comment on the claims.
Salem says her organization became aware of the questioning on Saturday, when a North Texas Muslim called CAIR, asking for advice — after speaking to an FBI agent.
“The approach of coming to the community and kind of cold calling like this it unnerves people, they don’t understand what’s happening. They’re just everyday citizens going about their lives,” Salem said.
Salem says the local Muslims being contacted are mostly of Pakistani and Afghan descent, some — she says — are doctors. At a news conference in New York City talking about election security on Monday, the chief of the counterterrorism unit mentioned the threat but nothing about the questioning.
“The threat by al-Qaeda. It lacks specificity and currently the credibility and sourcing of that information is under investigation and on-going with no information just last week,” said Chief Jim Waters, NYC Counterterrorism Unit.
Salem says she understands law enforcement has an obligation to act on that information, but feels Muslim Americans are being unfairly targeted in the process.
“We want them to do their job but we want the community to cooperate with their rights in place,” Salem said.
Salem says those rights include being questioned in the presence of an attorney. CAIR DFW is willing to provide a lawyer for any local Muslim Americans who have been contacted by an FBI agent, free of charge.

“some are doctors”, well boo freaking ho. Since when have doctors become exempt from being a jihadi? Muslims need to wake up and get their heads out of their ideology before the people get really angry and take serious action to curb their activities.

Telegraph July 5th, 2007
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1556553/45-Muslim-doctors-planned-US-terror-raids.html
A group of 45 Muslim doctors threatened to use car bombs and rocket grenades in terrorist attacks in the United States during discussions on an extremist internet chat site.
Police found details of the discussions on a site run by one of a three-strong “cyber-terrorist” gang.
They were discovered at the home of Younis Tsouli, 23, Woolwich Crown Court in south-east London heard.
One message read: “We are 45 doctors and we are determined to undertake jihad and take the battle inside America.
Investigators have found no link between the Tsouli chat room and the group of doctors and medics currently in custody over attempted car bomb attacks in London and Glasgow.
However, sources said it was “definitely spooky” that the use of doctors for terrorist purposes was being discussed in jihadi terrorist circles up to three years ago.
Part of the inquiry into the London and Glasgow incidents will focus on whether al-Qa’eda has recruited doctors or other medical professionals because they are less likely to attract suspicion and can move easily around the western world..

It is long overdue to use the RICO statutes on Islam. It is a criminal organization. And needs to be shut down as such.
Shut down ALL the mosques and arrest ALL the mullahs. Confiscate ALL monies.
That is a good start and it will get their attention.

The Dallas area spox for CAIR is especially confrontational and strident. She seeks every opportunity to get in front of a camera.

Salem needs to have her bluff called. These 70 plus jihadis are on the radar screen at the FBI for good reason. The FBI, despite its wretched PCness made the call – to prevent any terror attack, they would do a doorknock and make clear that these jihadis are being spied on 24×7. So Salem, since you and the 70 plus jihadis are so innocent, bring them forward, announce the poor dears and let’s hear from them. Go ahead Salem, do it. Let’s see these 70 jihadis, let’s hear their names.

Where is the money that cair is using to pay the lawyers coming from? Since muslims are making the threats, it is reasonable to investigate them. As muslims are on the leading edge of terrorism, they should be used to being on the edge of suspicion as well.

I guess nobody is concerned about the rest of the country, who is “on edge” about being shot, stabbed, blown up, or run down by a car, just to name a few.
Screw this garbage. If they don’t like it, they don’t have to be here, and if it is such a big problem in the community, then maybe some better self policing is in order. Turn in the terrorists.

I like the idea from Gavin McInnes. If someone gets deported for anything terror related-deport their whole family. If 20 people have to worry about getting kicked out because of 1 knucklehead, they’ll talk. Besides that, these communities are pretty close knit, they have an idea when ahhkmud is doing some shady terror stuff.

And they actually expect us to believe that ‘they don’t understand what’s going on?’. What, have they been living under a rock for the past two years? Muslims here have more access to media here than anywhere else in the whole world, well, unless a head muslim tells them they can’t use it or they’ll have their eyes torn out or something. I agree with Gavin McInnes, if a muslim gets deported from the U.S. for doing anything terror related-toss the whole family. Bet you get more cooperation then.

muslims are liars, they repeat the same absurdities and outright lies constantly, until the gullible and naive start to believe them. muslims are good at exploiting democrats and socialists as they are easy marks and targets for bigotry and prejudice accusations, which they eschew, for it is ever so un-progressive.

Why would the FBI be questioning member of the religion of peace and tolerance? 1400 years of Islamic jihad, murder, rape and slavery is ancient history. And it’s been more that 5 minutes since the last jihadi blew himself up. At this point what does it matter? Anyway, we should all get use to it since Hillary will be mass importing lovable Muslims by the boatload.

The more on edge the better. Maybe they will get the hint that they are not really welcome in the USA, or CANADA for that matter.

Horse crap “ordinary citizens going about their lives”. The muzzies have taken the Mafia code of silence or “omerta” to an art form as evidenced by leaflets distibuted to their neighborhoods. And that is the problem with muzzie neighborhoods, too many hoods and not enough neighbors. As far as doctors having some misplaced sense of esteem, just remember bin Laden’s sidekick al-Zarwahiri is an Egyptian dentist. CAIR = Council on American Islamic Rancor.

Muslim brotherhood and all associates will soon be exiting the political scene , I expect many of them will be exiting to the middle east.
