An excerpt, in an article called, “LAPD Plan To Map Muslim Communities Angers Some Groups [2],” caught my attention,
“A plan by the LAPD counterterrorism bureau to create a map detailing the Muslim communities in that city was reported Friday to be angering civil rights groups.At least three major Muslim groups and the American Civil Liberties Union sent a letter Thursday to top city officials raising concerns about the plan, The New York Times reported.
…For the LAPD or any police department to assume that one group is more terrorist or violent than another because of their religion alone, that’s a very scary phenomenon in our country,” a Muslim advocate group representative said.
Ehr…“one group is more terrorist or violent than another because of their religion alone,” and that group would be Muslims.
Perhaps stated more correctly, the amount of terrorism going on in the world today that is not directly linked to Islam, is non-existent.
But, let’s just say it like it is: if Allah were real and he called home every Muslim on the planet to heaven, where they would spend eternity cavorting with virgins, 99% of the terrorism happening back here on earth would immediately cease.
But more important, I think, is the idea that without such mapping, as they’re calling it… and idetntifying the problem areas… and the innocents… without the better understanding that such mapping provides, Are we not more vulnerable to attack?
Perhaps more importantly; are we not also more prone to arresting innocents?
