NYPD secretly labeled mosques as terror groups (The Horror!)
Salon / The Associated Press ^ | August 28, 2013 | Natasha Lennard

Last year, the AP reported in a Pulitzer Prize-winning series that the NYPD has been carrying out a vast and covert surveillance operation on New York and New Jersey’s Muslim communities. The NYPD were shown to have investigated and surveilled thousands of innocent muslims.

New documents reveal that the police department specifically designated a number of entire mosques as “terror organizations,” to enable greater surveillance. Lawsuits from the ACLU and other civil liberties groups contend that the tactics are at base unconstitutional, since a person can be treated as a potential terror suspect simply by virtue of attending a designated mosque.....

80 percent of US masjids are reportedly run by radicals (reportedly, mind you), and the NYPD isn’t supposed to do this?

The AP is guilty of treason.

Well in 2009 Obama declares Mosques off-limits to surveillance.

Reported by multiple sources:
“Since October 2011, mosques have been off-limits to FBI agents. No more surveillance or undercover string operations without high-level approval from a special oversight body at the Justice Department dubbed the Sensitive Operations Review Committee.

Who makes up this body, and how do they decide requests? Nobody knows; the names of the chairman, members and staff are kept secret.

We do know the panel was set up under pressure from Islamist groups who complained about FBI stings at mosques. Just months before the panel’s formation, the Council on American-Islamic Relations teamed up with the ACLU to sue the FBI for allegedly violating the civil rights of Muslims in Los Angeles by hiring an undercover agent to infiltrate and monitor mosques there.”

It really isn’t a secret that mosques promote terrorism, is it?

Maybe it's starting to dawn on the "NOT TOTALLY BRAIN DEAD' (there's a few left) that our enemy is radical Muslims...

Our enemy is NOT the Conservative Christian or Jewish middle class family down the road...

Hello you brain dead members of the FBI... listen up. Do you 'stings' on disgruntled liberals with pictures of Che hanging in their living rooms. You cast a wider - less biased net - and you might be surprised... (yeah, that you've become part of a political witch hunt...)

"...surveilled thousands of innocent muslims."

How does Natasha Lennard know that the mozlums (intentional sic) are "innocent?"

Dear Mz Lennard, let me tell you a little bit about the coe-ran and taqqiya.

No mozlum can ever be trusted. They must take over the entire world and kill all infidels (uh... That would be US, you idiot).

To do that, they are required to lie to us by the wholly coe-ran.

And look at what a great job Mr. Bronco Bambi is doing at exactly that. Yes, our "Christian" pres_ent is a commie mozlum liar.

I can no longer bear the sound of his voice.
