Not all Muslims are terrorists. (That would sure be a lot of terrorists!) Therefore, we shouldn’t talk about any Muslims who just so happen to become terrorists.
In top-secret talks to settle federal lawsuits against the NYPD for monitoring mosques, the city is weighing a demand that it scrub from its Web site a report on Islamic terrorists, The Post has learned.
The groundbreaking, 92-page report, titled “Radicalization in the West: The Homegrown Threat,” angers critics who say it promotes “religious profiling” and discrimination against Muslims…
With what seems today like a crystal ball, the 2007 NYPD report identified an “emerging threat” — al Qaeda-inspired jihadists in the United States and abroad, hell-bent on attacking their host countries.
“Radicalization is something the NYPD saw happening in Europe,” said the former NYPD official. “It was prescient in identifying this phenomenon and predicting it would increase.”
Yeah, but still. That’s not nice!
If you really wanted to, you could find the report here in easily downloadable PDF form. But you don’t want to. You do not want your own copy to read at your leisure. Is that clear?
I said: Is that clear?
Good. You wouldn’t want to start getting the wrong idea about Islam. Or about anything else, for that matter. Speech is too precious to waste on things you’re not supposed to talk about.
