Tennessee not bowing to CAIR’s demands.

NASHVILLE (AP) — A state panel on Friday unanimously approved credits for a law enforcement training course that critics have called anti-Muslim.

The Muslim civil rights organization Council on American-Islamic Relations is among those that have publicly denounced the “Understanding the Threat to America” course by the Strategic Engagement Group, a Virginia nonprofit.

“False and inaccurate training is ultimately counterproductive and could have a detrimental effect on officers’ ability to fairly police the community they serve,” reads a Tuesday letter from Washington-D.C.,-based CAIR to the state’s Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission.

The letter asks POST Commission Director Brian Grisham to investigate the appropriateness of the training and singles out trainer John Guandolo for scrutiny.

Guandolo recently told a Nashville audience that local mosques are part of the Muslim Brotherhood and do not have a right to con stitutional protections.

The training took place in Rutherford County, the site of a heated controversy over theconstruction of a new mosque that has led to court battles and the arson of construction equipment.

Members of the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office participated in the training earlier this week and asked the POST Commission to approve it so that deputies could use it as part of their required 40-hours-per-year of in-service training.
