Since October 2011,
mosques have been off-limits to FBI agents. Surveillance or undercover sting
operations are not allowed without high-level approval from a special oversight
body at the Justice Department dubbed the Sensitive Operations Review Committee
(SORC). Who makes up this body, and under what methodology do
they review requests - nobody knows. The names of the chairman,
members and staff are kept secret. Why is it necessary to keep the names and
titles of the people who decide whether or not to protect the rest of the
country from radical Muslims, 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 (CAIR) 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 in America’s second largest city. Another defeat
for the politically correct imbeciles in our government. Before mosques were
excluded from the otherwise wide domestic spy net the administration has cast,
the FBI launched dozens of successful sting operations against homegrown
radicals inside mosques, and disrupted dozens of plots against innocent
American citizens across the United States.
If only they were
allowed to continue, perhaps the many innocent victims of the Boston Marathon
bombings would not have lost their lives and limbs. The FBI never canvassed
Boston mosques until four days after the April 15 attacks, and it did not check
out the radical Boston mosque where the Muslim bombers worshiped even though
they were supposedly on the government’s watch list. The bureau didn’t even
contact mosque leaders for help in identifying their images after those images
were captured on closed-circuit TV cameras and cellphones.
As I have repeatedly
pointed out, the Politically Correct attitude of the Obama administration is
dangerous to the well being of the average hard working American citizen. There
are many religious communities in the United States. How can the government
attack one of the oldest and most established religions in the United States
and choose to defend the actions of another belief system that espouses violence
and murder of Westerners who they classify as infidels. Even though the FBI was
tipped by Russia more than a year before about the leanings of the two Boston
bombers, they apparently chose to ignore it. Now after the fact we learn that
one of the Muslim bombers made extremist outbursts during worship, yet because
the mosque wasn’t monitored, red flags didn’t go off inside the FBI about his
increasing radicalization before the attacks.
Why didn’t the Imam
contact the FBI? Why don’t these people of peace speak up when they hear
people in their congregation espousing hate of the country they have
adopted. Maybe it’s because they see us as an opportunity to expand their
Caliphate and don’t really care what happens to the infidels in their way who
don’t deserve to live. This is particularly disturbing in light of recent
independent surveys of American mosques, which reveal some 80% of them preach
violent jihad and distribute violent literature to worshipers. Even though Islam
is not a religion in the strict sense (it is more of a socio-economic way of
life), if Church doors are open to anyone or anything then Mosques should be
too. If Muslims have nothing to hide then they should not object to being
treated the same or equal to other religious organizations.
If our Federal
agencies are going to protect us from attack, they have to adopt strong
measures to root out these radicals and a plan to counter those who would
commit atrocities against citizens of the United States.
