Outreach To Moslems And U.S. Goverment Policy
Remember those five Washington-area Moslems who went to Pakistan, apparently for training in jihad with the Taliban? Well, now the American government is "walking a tightrope," the tightrope of dhimmitude.
From
this article in the
Washington Post:
...[A]gents and prosecutors [face] 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.
"Charging them and throwing them in jail is not the solution," said Nihad Awad, national head of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which approached the FBI on behalf of the families....
[...]
Prosecutors face complexities that include whether the men's reported admissions to Pakistani authorities are admissible in a U.S. court and whether any statements were coerced.
Senior Justice Department officials are expected to balance broader issues in any charging decisions, such as concern over a growing threat from domestic extremism.
"Home-based terrorism is here," Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a recent speech in which she cited the arrests of U.S. citizens suspected of plotting attacks with al-Qaeda and other Muslim groups. The five Virginia men are U.S. citizens.
...[T]he law enforcement imperative could clash with President Obama's desire to improve relations with Muslims abroad and in the United States. When asked about the arrests in Pakistan, Obama praised "the extraordinary contributions of the Muslim-American community."
These five men who went to study jihad with the Taliban don't elicit condemnation from BHO? And BHO's comment about contributions is a non-sequitur.
If American law enforcement has reached the point that deciding how to pursue this case requires considering the internal threat from Muslims in the United States, we're living in a state of tacit terrorism and dhimmitude right now. Either these five American Moslems are guilty of treason or they are not - on the merits of the case, not in consideration of "broader issues."
Now, check out the last two paragraphs of the WaPo article:
Nawar Shora, legal director for the American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee -- who, with a representative from a Muslim group presented the award to Persichini -- said the Arab and Muslim communities will accept any charges against the men arrested in Pakistan as long as they are treated fairly.
Yet he indicated that tensions could flare, depending how the government approaches a case. "If the FBI and the prosecutors say these were five Muslims and they were trying to commit jihad, and they throw out all of these incendiary religious terms, that's different," Shora said.
