MPAC Whitewashes Terror Threat While Condemning Law Enforcement
The annual conference of a radical American-Islamist organization Dec. 18 whitewashed the threat posed by Muslim extremists in the United States and elsewhere, called upon its members and the broader American-Muslim community to refuse to cooperate with congressional hearings on the threat of homegrown terrorism, and denounced critical U.S. counterterrorism tools that have stopped the majority of terrorist plots in the United States since the September 11th attacks. This, while the organizers, the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), seeks to be the anointed representative of the American-Muslim community with law enforcement agencies.
As the Investigative Project on Terrorism explained last week, the conference, entitled “The Struggle for America’s Conscience,” was set to showcase a slew of radicals and terror apologists on its program. Among the speakers was a leader of a Virginia mosque whom law enforcement officials consider to be “associated with Islamic extremists.” Also in attendance was a director of a group founded by the Muslim Brotherhood with a history of radical statements—not to mention MPAC officials with their own record of undermining law enforcement counter-terror efforts.
As expected, despite false promises to have an “honest” conversation about the role of the Muslim community in the United States, developing strategies to truly combat terrorism were dropped and replaced with a unrelenting campaign blaming terrorism on American law enforcement and so-called “Islamophobes.”
And now… the rest of the story. …..
