Justice Dept to Strip Islam from Terror Insvestigations?

Listen to an audio version of this column
On Monday, I stumbled across a column published last
month at Investors.com claiming that Attorney
General Eric Holder intends to ban consideration of
"religion" in terror investigations. By "religion,"
we understand he means Islam. Let's take a look at
part of
the story:
According to NBC News, the Justice Department
will soon prohibit religious profiling in terror
cases. The move, if true, would completely blind
federal law enforcement to the threat from Islamic
extremism.
Already, the department has forced the FBI to bleach
references to "Islam" and "jihad" from its
counterterrorism training materials. It's also made
it harder for agents to infiltrate radical mosques.
But Attorney General Eric Holder reportedly now
wants to make it illegal for agents to even consider
religion in their investigations.
Democrats on the Hill are cheering the changes,
along with the ACLU and radical Muslim Brotherhood
front groups, who have all lobbied the
administration for them. The Council on
American-Islamic Relations, which has seen several
of its officials jailed on terror-related charges,
calls it "a step in the right direction."
There was no author listed for the column, and no
link to any NBC news story or other original source
was provided. So, I began to scour the Internet
looking for corroboration of the report. Other than
numerous websites that re-posted the same column
verbatim, I just found one
Bloomberg story that was short on specifics,
other than to say:
The Justice Department under Attorney General
Eric Holder has been reviewing the guidelines for
federal investigations for several years, according
to the official, and is planning to expand the
definition to prohibit profiling based on religion,
national origin, sexual orientation and gender.
... While the scope of the changes that will be
proposed by Holder wasn't immediately available and
the timing of any announcement unclear, the possible
changes were discussed in a meeting yesterday
between Holder and New York City Mayor Bill De
Blasio at City Hall, the official said.
Whatever the details of this story may be, this is
something we would easily expect from this lawless
"Justice" Department working in concert with Barack
Obama (or whatever his name is) and his deep love
for all things Islam (and "sexual
orientation"-related, of course). We have watched in
horror as Obama and his administration have
repeatedly bowed to Muslim Brotherhood interests. We
have seen reports of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration
of the administration, the State Department,
Homeland Security and other departments. This
Islamic infiltration did not start under Obama's
reign, but it has certainly reached warp speed since
he was installed in our presidency. We also learned
last week of yet another extra-congressional
Obama
dictate, allowing people with terror ties to
seek asylum in the United States. Brilliant move,
Sparky!
Bob Unruh, writing at WorldNetDaily,
reported last month on the existence of Muslim
Brotherhood operatives inside the Obama
administration. In his column, he cites Claire
Lopez, an expert on Islamic supremacism, from her
excellent Gatestone Institute report, "History
of the Muslim Brotherhood Penetration of the U.S.
Government." In the conclusion of her paper, Ms.
Lopez writes:
As we can see, as early as the George W. Bush
administration period, the Muslim Brotherhood
already had achieved an information dominance that,
in coming years, would only intensify. Not only did
figures associated and identified with the Muslim
Brotherhood achieve broad penetration at senior
levels of U.S. policymaking, but voices that warned
of their true agenda (such as Stephen Coughlin's)
were actively excluded. That information dominance
has contributed to startling consequences, most
evident in the U.S. policy towards the al-Qa'eda and
Muslim Brotherhood-dominated revolutions that many
call the "Arab Spring," but which in fact are more
accurately termed an "Islamic Awakening." Under the
Muslim Brotherhood-influenced Obama administration,
U.S. policy has undergone such a drastic shift in
the direction of outright support for these jihadist
movements – from al-Qa'eda militias in Libya, to the
Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and both al-Qa'eda and
Muslim Brotherhood-linked rebels in Syria – that it
is scarcely recognizable as American any more. The
infiltration of individuals such as Magid, Hussain,
and Abedin, to name just a few, with such close
Muslim Brotherhood identifications, to positions of
influence at the highest levels of U.S. policymaking
must be considered, at a minimum, a contributing
factor.
In June 2012, five courageous U.S. Congressional
representatives (Michele Bachmann, Trent Franks,
Louie Gohmert, Tom Rooney, and Lynn Westmoreland)
sent letters to the Inspectors General of the
Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice,
and State as well as the Office of the Director of
National Security, requesting an investigation of
Muslim Brotherhood influence within those agencies.
That their patriotic initiative in defense of the
security of U.S. policymaking should have been met
only with an overwhelming barrage of criticism is
tragic testament to the extent of success the Muslim
Brotherhood has achieved in suppressing even the
duty to counterintelligence awareness that is the
first defense of a free people.[94]
Given the long history of Muslim Brotherhood
activity in this country, its declared objective to
"destroy the Western civilization from within," and
the extensive evidence of successful influence
operations at the highest levels of the U.S.
government, it is urgent that we recognize this
clear and present danger that threatens not only our
Republic but the values of Western civilization.
To anyone willing to see, it is clear that the
Islamists are self-sworn enemies of the United
States. Therefore, Obama's behavior in allowing
these people into high levels of our government and
supporting their terror groups around the world is
adhering to, and giving aid and comfort to our
enemies, which is treason. Obama and his
administration are enemies of America.
The Investors.com report on Eric Holder moving to
strip consideration if Islam from terror
investigations, if true, is yet another in the
myriad examples of what you get when enemies within
take over your government. This administration is a
vile cancer in the body of our nation, and if it's
not somehow stopped, it may be fatal to the United
States of America.
