This former Muslim (now an atheist?) is from Afghanistan and left a long while back to escape the Taliban and the hard line teachings in the mosques there, only to arrive here and find the same teachings going on in the two largest Sunni mosques in the region. I have no idea if he's accurate in his statement -- except that I visited one of the mosques during an open house and heard with my own ears Wahhabist teachings (in English); this was before 9/11, so I didn't know the infuriated imam was spouting Wahhabism. I did also hear much discussion among various visiting imams, <b>SOME</b> of whom disagreed vociferously with the Wahhabist imam. <br /><br /><i>In most cases, the older generation simply know how to "ignore" their imams if they are a bit hard-liner or political (for example every single Palestinian Imam goes on and on about Israel, etc) but it is the younger generation who are at risk, especially if they are marginalized by local communities, at school etc. They are the new "fodder".</i><br /><br />We agree there. Except that I'm not sure that the marginalization is as significant a factor as you seem to believe.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-21564928688429470952011-12-12T13:22:22.045-06:002011-12-12T13:22:22.045-06:00dcat, I have never said that I am "better&quo...dcat, I have never said that I am "better" than anyone. <br /><br />If anything, I am fully aware of, admit to and am capable of dealing with or accepting my failures and negativities. <br /><br />Obviously, with your excessive, consistant and expanding desire to prove yourself to me, you are not.D Charles QChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805304737361014277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-40806246366084622172011-12-12T13:18:42.845-06:002011-12-12T13:18:42.845-06:00AOW, i think most Muslims in the west have it, in...AOW, i think most Muslims in the west have it, in a theocratic sense, difficult. Your example of a hard-liner Imam controlling a mosque is a good example. The main Mosque in Mallaga (Spain) is a good example. The radical element dominated the committee that chose the Imam.<br /><br />It did not, however, result in radicalising the followers whom started not going and showed interest in making another more moderate mosque. Then what happened was the current mosque put a legal block on it, the local authorities not wanting to be "bigoted" supported the existing mosque and things remained as they were and the moderates dissolved into the general population.<br /><br />In other places, you have the issue of negative talk, actions and perceptions against Muslims driving them to the radical Imams who will say "I told you so" (that Christians want to get rid of Muslims, crusaders etc).<br /><br />In most cases, the older generation simply know how to "ignore" their imams if they are a bit hard-liner or political (for example every single Palestinian Imam goes on and on about Israel, etc) but it is the younger generation who are at risk, especially if they are marginalized by local communities, at school etc. They are the new "fodder".<br /><br />For my part I do not "mistrust" Muslims anymore than how one should target a salesman knocking on the door, someone offering a "great deal" etc,. To do more I think is injust. To single out only gives huge discredit to the countless moderates that exist, victims of hard-liners, terrorists etc, and in your case those men and women in the armed services who put themselves in harms way or gave their lives for your country and happen to be Muslim. Add on to that the existing numbers of Muslims whom offered to actively support the security and intelligence services of your country for the expressed purpose of protecting it from such radical ideologies and terror organisations. They chose to do so BECAUSE they are Muslim and they know the difference or have the studies/background to do it.<br /><br />Now having said that, and considering it is the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbour - I understand your natural fears and mistrust - are we not only seeing a similar mistrust to those Japanese-Americans during that period? The comparison is very good and even though that puts a justifiable example to in fact segregate/detain Muslims, today Japan is a friend of the US, right?D Charles QChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805304737361014277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-80872304430166508752011-12-12T11:54:47.661-06:002011-12-12T11:54:47.661-06:00Dcat,

I believe that there are substantiated cases of that happening in the West. And, if you recall my anecdote about my Muslim neighbor, I think that he became "radicalized" as a result of what he heard at the local mosque, later exposed as having had a Wahhabist imam.<br /><br />BTW, "devout" is a relative term in some respects; this matter is being discussed recently with regard to Newt Gingrich. Few of the followers of any religion would call themselves "nominal followers."<br /><br /><i>Do not forget that these people, they are probably salafis, are not very respected in the actual Muslim world except in Saudi Arabia and one or two other places.

Interesting comments on this thread, as usual.<br /><br />AOW, I disagree with your comment that "devout Muslims" should not be a part of some departments or not have some jobs. That commnet, I find, is unwarrented and very discriminatory. What I might ask is what do you consider "devout" and how does that affect what a person is? I believe you said yourself that you have nothing against Muslims themselves and do not consider Islam itself evil, but yet by such a comment you basically have done so. By judging someone on their "devoutness" you thus equate a value of good/evil on the faith that they are being devoted to.<br /><br />A moderate Muslim does not mean he or she is not devout. If you said that a hard-line, ultra-conservative or you said a Wahhabi or Salafi Muslim should not, then I would have agreed with you. I assume it is a problem of simple wording, which I find most here suffer to various degrees and levels.<br /><br />Also I have a comment on the examples given on some of the last posts about Burqa-clad women and children on the streets near Fresno, etc. I find that appauling and I would also be disturbed and this most certainly is the issue that you are facing and needs to be tackled. These people represent themselves, not the Muslim world in general and though it is frustrating and should be tackled, the fact remains that you see a vocal, noisy, troublesome, irritating and even dangerous minority - not a majority. Do not forget that these people, they are probably salafis, are not very respected in the actual Muslim world except in Saudi Arabia and one or two other places. We should ask why they are being given tolerance in our countries. We must ask why people with loyalities outside your country are let in, who follow teachings of Imams that hate the West and yet are allowed to live in the west? Yes these are the issues. These salafis that preach such hate in many Muslim countries are in fact treated as the hate-mongers that they are and yet they abuse the freedoms that we give. These issues we can argue and I support tough action and exposure on this. Having said that, target this issue but as we can see with some on this thread, do not defend bigoted statements which I most certainly believe some comments are.<br /><br />CheersD Charles QChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805304737361014277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-61230154192591213962011-12-04T04:41:03.934-06:002011-12-04T04:41:03.934-06:00Investigators won't say who the man is or what...<i>Investigators won't say who the man is or what connection he might have had with Paxton. </i><br /><br />Sooner or later, we're going to find out the name.

We are up in the Sierras and Fresno is the first big town we encounter when we leave the mountains. We shop there often. I received this from my ex-homicide partner who is still active in law enforcement circles in the Fresno area.<br /><br />Excuse the language, but don't excuse the facts. Don't give up your guns, and buy necessary ammunition if you can find it. Be cautious and alert. Be ready if, God forbid, we need to protect our families and loved ones.<br /><br />If you weren't at Rotary meeting on Friday, you missed the only decent speaker we've had in more than a year. LTC John Cotter is the 144th Fighter Wing's anti terrorism officer. John had a two-part presentation. First part was describing his job as the units anti terrorism officer. Pretty standard stuff.<br /><br />The second part was information that will curl your hair. A Part-time air guardsman works as a checker at local Von's. Two women in full burkas buy every pre-paid cell phone in the store. Clerk/airman gets to thinking about it. Goes to Cotter and reports incident. Cotter asks store for surveillance video. It's scary enough that he contacts Fresno FBI.<br /><br />FBI investigates and determines these women have been doing this all over the Valley. Cell phones shipped through Canada to Iraq/Afghanistan where they become triggers for roadside bombs.<br /><br />The Shell station at Peach and Shaw. Every time a local GI goes there in fatigues they are asked specific questions. What is your unit? When are you deploying? How many aircraft are you taking?<br /><br />The F-16s out of Fresno fly CAP for west coast. As such they are the first line of defense so they have the US 's most sophisticated air-to-air missiles. Foreign governments would like to get their hands on those missiles or at least learn how to build them. Also how many we have, etc. Two spy groups are working on it, one based at Fashion Fair Mall (the F-16s take-off pattern) and one based at Sierra Vista Mall (the F-16s landing pattern).<br /><br />Cotter said the ragheads (But we don't profile) are always probing the base. Two dorks in a pickup show up at the front gate wanting to deliver a package marked Air National Guard, Fresno .. No postage, no UPS, no FedEx, no DHL, no nothing. Just a probe.<br /><br />I asked Cotter why we haven't seen anything about this in The Bee, on KMJ, on local TV news. He said they're not interested. Since Friday I've learned of two other things. My brother-in-law, Frank, (management at Avaya) had a Muslim tech who took a leave-of-absence for 6 weeks in Afghanistan . After the 6 weeks were up he called from New York requesting an extension. Frank (who does profile) said, you're fired, and called the Fresno FBI who were very interested. Don't know the outcome.<br /><br />A Muslim who owns a liquor store in my former hometown of Kingsburg was constantly bugging customers to buy guns for him. Finally one of the guys I grew up with called the FBI.<br /><br />We are a country at war and the enemy is among us. I don't care what Janet Napolitano says, it's a fight to the death and we should be prepared as possible. Brother-in-law Frank has a theory and I think it may be closer to the truth than Homeland Security wants to admit. There are a certain number (probably a large number) of Muslims among us who are awaiting the trigger date and will begin randomly killing as many of us as they can, sort of a Fort Hood on steroids.
