This country would be a hundred time safer if we did exactly the opposite of what CAIR demands…

(WaPo)– Two groups representing American Muslims differed sharply Monday over revelations in The Washington Post about the sometimes-ignorant quality of local police training on radical Islam, with one group calling for a Justice Department investigation, the other saying it “is not a systematic problem.”

“Monitoring America,” by staff reporters Dana Priest and William M. Arkin, cited examples of “experts” without formal training who are telling law enforcement groups that most U.S. Muslims want to take over America and replace the legal system with a strict code of religious laws known as sharia.

….”Government terrorism experts call the views expressed in the center’s book inaccurate and counterproductive,” The Post said.

The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations issued a statement calling on Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. “to review Justice Department policies on the reported use of anti-Muslim extremists to train counterterrorism officials nationwide.”

“The use of ill-informed and agenda-driven ‘experts’ will inevitably result in law enforcement practices that are based on misinformation, not on our nation’s legitimate security needs,” CAIR’s National Executive Director Nihad Awad said in a letter to Holder.

Likewise, M. Zuhdi Jasser, president and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, or AIFD, based in Phoenix, Az., said he “would have problems” with the instructors cited by The Post, in particular “former Muslims who had converted to Christianity,” such as Walid Shoebat, who recommended the indiscriminate wiretapping of Islamic student groups and mosques.

But “to indict a whole system for using some people who hate or fear Islam,” he said, was “wrong.”

“It’s not a systematic problem,” Jasser said.

CAIR, he said, “is in denial that there is no Islamic threat…They just want to dismiss everything as Islamophobic.”

There is a real threat from “political Islam,” added Jasser, who was a U.S. Navy doctor for 11 years, “and counterterrorism training on it is very relevant.”
