FBI walks tightrope in outreach to Muslims

WASHINGTON - At a retirement party last week for the head of the FBI’s Washington field office, Muslim and Arab leaders presented the guest of honor with a crystal plaque.
It thanked Joseph Persichini Jr. for reaching out to the local Muslim and Arab communities. Yet even as the tribute on Capitol Hill went on, his agents had a different mission. They were flying to Pakistan to interrogate five Washington area Muslim men arrested in a terrorism probe. The outcome of that investigation threatens to undermine the very relationships their boss tried to foster.
Since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, FBI agents from the same office have met with Muslim leaders, fielded questions at mosques and participated in Ramadan feasts. The outreach might well have resulted in the families of the five men coming forward to the FBI to report them missing.
But that action now has agents and prosecutors facing a dilemma as the case has morphed from a missing persons investigation into a counter-terrorism probe. As U.S. officials consider whether to file criminal charges against the men and how aggressively to prosecute any potential case, some Muslim leaders are calling for leniency, saying the tough approach often used by the Bush administration would alienate a community whose relationship with law enforcement is uneasy.

FBI walks tightrope in outreach to Muslims
I have used this analogy before, it bears repeating.
There are 100 Diamondback Rattlers in a pit, but 2 of them are really nice snakes. All they want to do is sit on the sofa with you, eat Doritos, watch the ball game and be your buddy. But are you going to wade off into that snake pit and try to find out exactly which 2 it is? All the while being struck and killed by the ones that aren’t nice snakes?
That is exactly what the FBI is doing, they are walking through the snake pit!
Islam is our enemy. If you are Christian or Jew, if you are a free capitalist, if you are a free thinker, Islam is your enemy. I didn’t make it that way, I didn’t set the rules, the radical worshipers of a goat loving pedophile set the rules. Islam declares that WE are the enemy, and unless WE submit to THEM, they are going to kill ALL of us so that Islam can dominate the world.
Pretty one-way thinking in my opinion, but hey, we didn’t declare this war, Islam did. We didn’t attack Mecca on Sept. 11th, Islam attacked New York City and Washington, D.C. And now, since it appears that we have what is turning out to be the most gutless president in American history, we’re going to try and seek out the good snakes in hopes that they can bend the bad snakes to our way of thinking.
As much as the FBI, and the Muslim in Chief, one Barack Hussein Obama would like for it to happen that way, it will not come to pass. And make NO mistake about it, Obama wants nothing more than to reach out to his brothers! Obama: U.S. should reach out to Taliban
Back in January of 2009 I posted this: Bin Laden urges jihad against Israel; White House scoffs. Of course the White House scoffs, Obama is NOT going to do any more than absolutely necessary when dealing with HIS Muslim brothers!
A while back there was an email floating around asking this question, ‘Can you be a good Muslim and a good American?’. The answers follow:
Theologically, no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia.
Religiously, no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)
Scripturally, no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran.
Geographically, no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
