Civil rights advocates criticized plans by the Los Angeles Police Department to map the city's Muslim communities, calling it racial profiling.

The LAPD's counterterrorism bureau plans to identify Muslim enclaves in order to determine which might be likely to become isolated and susceptible to "violent, ideologically based extremism," said Deputy Chief Michael P. Downing on Thursday.

Besides being un-American, actions such as this are bound to increase, not decrease, the suspicion among Muslims that America is out to get them, that this is indeed a "crusade".

I find this very disturbing. Next it will be finding out where all the senior citizens with gray hair live.

"We want to know where the Pakistanis, Iranians and Chechens are so we can reach out to those communities," said Downing, who heads the counterterrorism bureau.

Reach out? Like with clubs and tazers?

After the Oklahoma City bombing and the unibomber, the FBI should be "mapping" the LAPD and any other bastion of white Christian males.

The US Constitution, and especially the Bill of Rights, have always been ignored in LA 'law' enforcement circles. Nothing new here. It's sad that the Dems won't stand up for constitutional rights but we have been watching them cave to every right wing extremist demand from the Bush Team since November 2006.

Yes well, the rest of us want to "map" the LA police.

None of this surprises me about the most Nazi-like Police apparatus in the United States. I'd hope that Muslims begin to resist already ... to know that there are already double agents inside their community, selling them out for even the squeakiest comments about the U.S. government.
There are also a lot of Armenians inside LA and California, and they were dissed by the President, and his Administration and that won't be forgotten. To try and "map out" Muslim neighborhoods is the first step towards mass arrests. I'd guess there will be real combat in the streets if this happen. Combat in the U.S. when Muslim neighborhoods are invaded will be very very nasty.
Finally, there are also a lot of Iranians inside LA and southern California and if EFPs or IEDs are used in the U.S., such tactics and weapons will be there, not too mention, highly trained sniper teams. These folks are already angry and feel, justifiably, that they've been maligned ... and discriminated against. Go past this threshold and we'll see real resistance.

Guess what? There are "Islamic" fundamentalist groups that would give anything to blow up men, women, and children for a shot at the 72 virgins. Are they the majority or even a sizable minority of Muslims? Of course not, but I'm sure some are there.

Ever hear of the "Christian Identity" movement? These creeps are violent Neo-nazis whom I am glad the FBI keeps track of. Same goes for the Bin Laden crazies.

All good Muslims should be thankful and cheering that the LAPD is identifying the Islamofascists. But do you hear any cheering??

[I posted the comment below on this thread at about 5 pm and it was subsequently censored. Anti-Muslim comments are freely allowed, but comments suggesting that Muslims are human beings are subject to removal. In any event, DON"T MISS the great documentary available at the link below.]


Muslims have been targeted globally NOT because they are "terrorists" (they are not) but because they happen to live on top of vast oil reserves. A good example of this is that Iraq was bombed, invaded and occupied NOT because Iraqi Muslims had terrorized anyone but because global corporations wanted their oil.

"Arab" and "Muslim" are words that are often used interchangeably in the monopoly media.

The media in the USA, in particular, suppress and silence the Arab/Muslim side of world events. The excellent video at the link below should be viewed by everyone in the USA:

Given historical record, one can be assured that if there is any good at all to be obtained from this idea, one of the proven worst police departmants in the USA will certainly screw it up.
Eventually, when the injustice comes to light, there will be expensive lawsuits for LA and Californian taxpayers to contend with.
We have good laws now, what we need is for our law enforcement people to do what they are supposed to do, pay friggin attention, to details, and lose their atitudes.
It seems that law enforcement is the only profession that gets rewarded for incompetance...but look at who is put in charge!
As an example I offer you the Ex-Police Comissioner of NYC!
Now the good NYC cops know how good priests feel when bad ones get caught, or go looney! HA HA! I'm not really laughing..it must suck, especially when not only your reputation but your very life is on the table.
Another stupid idea to make people think tough talking government leaders care, as they erode the Constitution to the delight of our enemies.

Sounds like the LAPD is doing the work of the Christian Right. First they laughed when the LAPD fired rubber bullets into the crowd of unarmed immigrants. Now they're elated that we are hunting down godless Muslims. Be careful on gays I'm sure your next.

What is the common link among the majority of the terrorists that have attacked us?
It seems like the LAPD policy makes sense.

I wish we could go back to the 50's and 60's when the government didn't make it public that they had intentions on looking into something, or someone.

Now it appears we must take a public opinion poll before we do something to protect our country.

This is not a peaceful religion!! They believe if you do not convert to Islam, then it is their right and responsibility to kill you!! We would be IDIOTS not to watch them closely.
