Good plan……
Here’s a good plan that has civil rights activist all in a tissy….. Anger at LA police plan to ‘map’ Muslims It’s a shame that the LA police will probably never be able to pull this off…….
A plan by the Los Angeles Police Department’s counter-terrorism bureau to map Muslim groups in the city has angered civil rights activists and community leaders, it was reported Friday.
The Los Angeles Times reported that the LAPD wants to create a map of Muslim groups in order to help communities avoid the influence of radicals seeking to incite “violent, ideologically-based extremism.”
“We are seeking to identify at-risk communities,” LAPD deputy chief Michael Downing told the Times. “We are looking for communities and enclaves based on risk factors that are likely to become isolated.
“We want to know where the Pakistanis, Iranians and Chechens are so we can reach out to those communities.”
The down side here is that the LA police department is working with Salam Al-Marayati director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council. He intends to “…give them input, while at the same time making sure that people’s civil liberties are protected.” This might not be such a great idea after all. Could turn out to be the ole’ bait & switch. I’ll point over there while the action is taking place over here. Well I guess we will just have to wait and see. Something to keep an eye on that’s for sure.
