  1. I guess they have no problem with the conversions in jailhouses to Islam. This is why the country is doomed. We put up with even the most blatant idiocy.



    CAIR Asks ICE to Drop Trainer Who Seeks to Convert Muslims

    WASHINGTON, July 20, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Muslim civil rights group calls training by missionary 'inappropriate'
    The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the second largest investigative agency in the federal government, to drop a trainer who heads an organization that seeks to convert Muslims to Christianity.
    CAIR also asked ICE to review the use of taxpayer funds for outside trainers who offer stereotypical and inaccurate information about Islam and American Muslims.
    Media reports indicate that Rev. Hicham Chehab, head of the Chicagoland Lutheran Muslim Mission Association (CLMMA), will "give a presentation to U.S. immigration officers at the end of July." Chehab, who claims to be a former member of the Muslim Brotherhood, has also reportedly given an "antiterrorism course" to the Army Reserve.
    (note:When contacted by CAIR)(note:Rev. Chehab said he "cannot give details" about the training. He claims he is not being paid for the session.)

    "While Pastor Chehab is free to engage in missionary activities, it would be inappropriate for him to train government officials who will inevitably interact with American Muslims," said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad in a letter to ICE Director John Morton. "We believe training by a person with such obvious bias against Islam and Muslims would only serve to heighten concerns American Muslims have about allegations of mistreatment at our nation's borders."
    Awad added that CAIR's Michigan chapter recently announced a decision by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL) to launch an investigation into potential civil rights violations and profiling of Muslims by personnel at the United States-Canada border.
    "There is a growing concern that many of the government and law enforcement officials American Muslims come into contact with in their daily lives have been negatively influenced by inaccurate and agenda-driven portrayals of their community and their faith," said Awad.

    CAIR has in the past called on the Obama administration, Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and Congress to provide oversight for apparently widespread anti-Muslim bias in the training of law enforcement, security and military personnel nationwide.

    CAIR noted the recent release of an 80-page report by Political Research Associates (PRA), titled "Manufacturing the Muslim Menace: Private Firms, Public Servants, & the Threat to Rights and Security," which details a systemic failure to regulate content in counterterrorism training.

    CAIR made a similar request of counterterrorism and military leaders not to employ Muslim-bashers as trainers following a Washington Post investigative report on post-9/11 government surveillance, which stated: "Seeking to learn more about Islam and terrorism, some law enforcement agencies have hired as trainers self-described experts whose extremist views on Islam and terrorism are considered inaccurate and counterproductive by the FBI and U.S. intelligence agencies."

    Last year, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) acknowledged that an anti-Islam film should not have been used in training offered to security personnel by that military law enforcement agency.
    CAIR contacted NCIS after receiving a report that a three-day NCIS surveillance detection course at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., included the viewing of a propagandistic anti-Islam film.
