Steven Emerson: 'Don't ask for me by name'- Expert on militant Islamic groups

"The problem is," he says, "it was illegal for the FBI to collect this information. They can't go into a mosque just because someone is yelling 'Death to America!' The FBI is prohibited from monitoring activities of extremist groups unless a crime has been committed or can be shown to be imminent.

Kind of puts us in a bind, huh? On the privacy, civil liberties side of things, we don't want them to have more power or abuse their power. Yet, we can't expect them to do the job when their hands are tied in the surveillance of anti-American or terrorist activities.

Deport all non-citizen islamics NOW. Not after they've committed their next atrocity, NOW. NOW. NOW.

[ladyinred]

Let the deportations begin..................yesterday, if not sooner.

As per your #22 post, that will not happen until an atrocity so vile that killing of Muslims in the streets occurs ... like a small pox outbreak due to tainted candy or such. The leftist success in fostering political correctness is part of what makes US so vulnerable to ongoing terrorism in this nation.

I've been reccommending that people carry a camera with them when they leave home, to photograph anyone they truly feel is acting in a suspicious manner. Turn the pix over to FBI with an explanation of where, when, etc.

**** "It's very difficult to get a sense of the dimension of what we're up against because of the level of deception. There isn't a moderate Islamic leadership. There isn't. And someone has got to say it. We deny it at our peril. When the President talks about Islam being hijacked, what's really happening is that the Muslim extremists have hijacked the leadership." ****

Those who call guys like Emerson extreme, or falling sky types, are fools on a grand scale. The government agencies did not simply fail to protect us.... they are COMPLICIT and the heads of departments should be criminally prosecuted. If they were military they would be court marshalled for deriliction of duty resulting in the deaths of thousands.

Did the hairs on the back of your neck start waving around as you read this article? Well this is nothing. It's a hundred times worse than you are immagining.

Bump for that great video.

I watched it online a few weeks back when someone on FR listed the link. Chilling stuff.

Stevie, Stevie!

Fascinating. This man is a hero. I really don't see how we can allow Muslim aliens to stay in the country at this point. We probably wouldn't be missing much if we just deported them all.

There isn't a moderate Islamic leadership. There isn't. And someone has got to say it. We deny it at our peril.

>>This deserves another BUMP!

I'm going to bump this again. I remain amazed at the fact that it has taken a month for a small handful of Muslim "moderates" to be paraded on TV. Most of them are U.S. black muslims, not immigrants from Middle Eastern countries. Almost *no one* from the "peaceful Muslim religion" can be found to strongly denounce the atrocities of 9/11. Especially Middle Easterners. Wake up America!

I suggest to Mr. Emerson it's difficult to differentiate between moderate and extremist Muslims when the moderates refuse to denounce the violence of the extremists.

"When they refuse to denounce it," Emerson replies, "or when there are no moderates."

Again, BUMP! How many foreign sleeper radical Islamists from Middle Eastern countries are in America on expired tourist / student / work visas?

Great comments from most everyone on this thread, especially yours.

Thanks for the flag. I had no idea Canada was also a haven for these extremists.

But a year ago, at a Jerusalem Day rally in Washington, Imam Siddiqui had a different message: "We want to awaken the conscience of America," he told the crowd. "Because if you remain on the side of injustice, the wrath of God will come. Please all Americans, do remember that, that Allah is watching everyone. If you continue doing injustice, and tolerating injustice, the wrath of God will come."

I don't see how this statement conflicts with his later condemnation of terrorism. Religious leaders of all stripes have long condemned injustice and warned of "the wrath of God", though they may disagree about what constitutes injustice. Emerson falsely equates predictions about "the wrath of God" with support for terrorism.
