#NotAllMuslims Bristle At The FBI Pointing Out The Existence Of Islamic Terrorism

Font Size:

When Islamic terrorists attack people, the real victims are always Muslims. So it makes sense that when the FBI tries to prevent the sort of radicalization that leads to attacks by Islamic terrorists, the real victims are Muslims.

The real victims are always Muslims. Always, always, always.

Michelle Boorstein, Washington Post:

The FBI has designed a game-style Web site about extremism meant to be used by teachers and students to spot and prevent radicalization of youth, say Muslim and Arab advocacy groups who were briefed by the agency on the program and fear it will foment discrimination against Muslims…

The Web site, called “Don’t Be A Puppet,” was scheduled to be live Monday but was put temporarily on hold in the last few days…

Details about the Web site were vague. However, some participants described what the FBI showed them at the October meeting. It included exercises like a quiz. The quiz asked students: What would be activities that would concern the FBI? One option asked about a youth posting on Facebook that she intended to attend a political protest. What about a young person posting about feeling emotional about something, was a second. The third, participants described, cited a youth with a stereotypically Muslim-sounding name who “posted that he’s going overseas on a mission [and] does anyone want to chat?” [Muslim Public Affairs Council director of policy and advocacy, Hoda] Hawa said.

“All our hands went up, like: What’s with this?” she said of the meeting.

Indeed. What is with this? Just because increasing numbers of Islamic terrorists are becoming radicalized overseas and coming back to the U.S. to plan attacks, that doesn’t mean we should actually acknowledge it. That’s profiling. That’s racist!

There’s simply no good way to predict these types of terrorist attacks. Sure, every now and then we’ll have to watch little kids get blown up while watching a marathon. People in major cities will, of course, get their heads hacked off in the middle of the street. It’s simply the new normal that cartoonists have to live in hiding because whenever they show up in public, religious zealots try to kill them for drawing a picture of Mohammed. And if a few military recruiting offices get shot up, hey, them’s the breaks.

Isn’t all that, and more, better than potentially hurting a Muslim’s precious feelings?

There’s no such thing as Islamic terrorism. There are only terrorists who happen to be Muslims. Now stop trying to connect all these completely random acts of violence, or you won’t like what happens to you next.

In related news: The following religious blasphemy aired on American Movie Classics last night, and so far nobody has been killed or even threatened with death over it. Weird, huh?

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
