Muslim Agent 'Does Not Record Another Muslim'!
The agent in question is quoted in two sworn statements, one by Wright and the other by retired agent Barry Carmody, as refusing to record the conversation because "a Muslim does not record another Muslim."
Carmody's statement said that refusal "may have negatively impacted the conduct of the FBI's investigation. I informed FBI headquarters twice about this incident in 1998 and again in 2000, but I am aware of no disciplinary action being taken against him in this matter."
Wright, whose whistle-blowing was first reported by NewsMax.com over two months ago, urged the Bush administration and Congress to "consider removing terrorism investigative matters from the hands of the FBI. For reasons of consistency, reliability and national security, these responsibilities should be assigned to a new federal anti-terrorism agency."
The assets of the Drug Enforcement Agency could be used to fund an anti-terrorism agency, he said. "Simply switch the terrorism responsibilities of the FBI with the nation's illegal drug responsibilities.
I'm guessing that for this theoretical Muslim that would amount to announcing his death wish.
Dollars. Beaucoup Dollars! It all helps to further Islam in the long term.
So Islamic nations don't believe in wiretaps? Tell that to the Kurds!
This line of reasoning sould be a lot of fun. Can ISPs in Saudi keep traffic logs? Will face recognition software ever be utilized in Iran? How do Arabic passports work? The mind boggles at the possible uses by defense counsel in a trial.
And we all know how much it would matter - some imam or judge would declare the defendant as an infidel, and then all manner of things can be justified for and by the government.
Only if it is used to help an infidel I would think. They can backstab and oppress each other all they want.
You deserve my screenname more than I do.
Think plainly!
Yes we do, Biological Weapons
Oh yeah???
2 Amish men suspected of thefts
Amish teen charged with drunken buggy driving
Alcohol and buggies form 'wild years' for Amish teens
Amish men face jail for plotting to sell cocaine (Yes, this is a real story, as are the others.)
Where are the "moderate Amish", I ask you? Where?
Well you must admit, their religion doesn't condone that behavior. Whereas Islam preaches jihad and refusal to cooperate with infidels.
Despite being committed pacifists, there are a number of Amish who have served in the military as unarmed medics, and have been decorated for valor for saving lives while under fire
A Muslim MIGHT be of use in tracking down non-Muslim criminals, but I agree that having considerations that loyalty to a criminal fellow muslim might supercede his Oath to uphold the law, renders that Muslim unfit to carry a badge
The thing is, we're committed as a people to giving others the benefit of the doubt, so long as doubt remains. That's what I'm trying to do. 1.2 billion is a hell of a lot of enemies to cultivate, even for the United States.

The Mennonites are pacifists, too, and I'm sure there are many more such stories about them (personally, I think the Amish are too cloistered to work in such an environment). This was, of course, before the boxer Muhammed Ali made a mockery of conscientious objector status.
What? I thought the Transportation Security Agency and Homeland Defense were raving successes. /sarcasm
