Fearing charges of religious persecution, the FBI for years has hesitated to investigate radical Islamic clerics in the United States despite evidence that their mosques have been used to recruit and fund suspected terrorists, present and former law enforcement officials said.

Even after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, "the veil of religion that has been draped over mosques . . . will be tough to move off," an FBI official said last week. "The Arab American community can become enraged and beat on the FBI."

This has to be a ridiculous article. The FBI scared of religous bigotry. Right....The FBI can, as most government agencies, do anything it wants to do, and probably does.

You know I was wondering about something, and with the mention of the koran in previous posts it finally gelled into an idea.

In our screwed-up PC world do you think that I could get a grant from the NEA (to buy the beer needed and the fish aquarium) for a work of 'art' called 'Piss koran' which would feature a koran submerged in an aquarium filled with my used beer. Or better yet, I can find some homo, shove the koran halfway up his butt and photograph it. IT should be a big hit in the 'blue zone'.

Yeah, that's the ticket, why waste good body waste on a piece of crap like the koran.

Hey if it's good enough for the crucifix, right?
