I'm not so sure. 'He' had been working with Grover Norquist to recruit the Religion of Peace faction as a GOP voting block. The RoP had been complaining that they were being watched by the FBI and they wanted it to stop. 'He' had been scheduled to sign an order to that effect, and in fact was going to meet with the RoP in the rose garden on the afternoon of September 11, 2001. But then something intervened. However, 'he' did meet with them shortly afterwards in a photo op where 'he' made some statment about them being... A Religion of Peace. He at least wasn't worried about them until he got a lesson only Norquist has managed to ignore.
