ACLU, Muslim Groups Resist Anti-terror Measures Again

[b]The Los Angeles Police Department announced plans Thursday to map Muslim communities, hoping to identify people who might be liable to succumb to -- as Deputy Chief Michael P. Downing put it -- “violent, ideologically based extremism.â€

If American Muslim groups were genuinely concerned about the unfair targeting of Muslims, they could direct their efforts to making concerted efforts to work with law enforcement officials to identify and apprehend jihadists in the United States, and to turn Muslims in America away from the jihad ideology and Islamic supremacism.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was muslim islam extremists that flew jets into the twin towers, was it not?

And the author is right on the nose with this statement. If the peaceful muslims are truly concerned about this, they should be reporting any suspected jihad activists.

[quote]The ACLU of Southern California, an association of Muslim lawyers called Muslim Advocates, the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California and the Council on American Islamic Relations wrote to Downing that “singling out individuals for investigation, surveillance, and data-gathering based on their religion constitutes religious profiling that is just as unlawful, ill-advised and deeply offensive as racial profiling.â€
