Can the FBI be as corrupt as they appear?

Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is demanding answers from the FBI after the agency admitted to working with the far-left leaning Southern Poverty Law Center.

The FBI has a long history of collaborating with the SPLC, a group that labels Christian groups such as the Christian Family Research Council (FRC) as a hate group, while giving a free pass to actual hate groups such as Antifa.

In a 2009 memo, the FBI described the SPLC as a "credible" organization. Credible. How incredible they would do so.

In a letter obtained by Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Gaetz said the FBI "admitted to working with the SPLC," which he calls "surprising and worrisome."

SPLC labels groups hate groups based on their politics, not actual hatred. For example, ACT for America, founded by Brigitte Gabriel to educate the public about the ideology of Islamic terrorism, is labeled a hate group and claims that it is 'anti-Muslim." It is by no means anti-Muslim; it is anti-extremism. Muslims are people, not the extremist ideology the group opposes. SPLC has clearly mischaracterized her good work.

Gaetz pointed out that after the FRC was labeled a hate group by SPLC, Floyd Corkins shot an FRC employee and admitted later that he targeted the group as the SPLC labeled them it as "anti-gay."

The FRC sees gay sex as a sin but does not hate gay people--they pray for them and support those who refuse to bake a cake for gay weddings, for example. That isn't hate.

"The SPLC's conflation of mainstream political advocacy groups with legitimate hate groups and domestic terror groups is absurd, frequently indiscriminate and dangerous," Gaetz said.

The alleged relationship between SPLC and the FBI are unclear, but what is clear is the 2009 memo, and that SPLC has briefed the FBI on alleged domestic terror threats in the U.S.

Gaetz's letter requests more information on the ties the FBI has to the group, including how much credence the FBI gives to SPLC designations of "hate groups" and what input, if any, the bureau provides to the hateful SPLC.

Although the DOJ wouldn't confirm nor deny any relationship, Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered that any such relationships be re-evaluated.

"The attorney genera has directed the FBI to re-evaluate their relationships with groups like this to ensure the FBI does not partner with any group that discriminates," a spokesperson said in a statement.

The SPLC recently issued an apology and a $3.3 million settlement to Maajid Nawaz and his organization, the Quilliam Foundation, for including them in a list of "anti-Muslim extremists."

Their walk-back went like this:

"Although we may have our differences with some of the positions that Mr. Nawaz and Quilliam have taken, we recognize that they have made important contributions to efforts to promote pluralism and that they are most certainly not anti-Muslim extremists," the statement said.

Nawaz is a Muslim himself, and at one time in his life, was a terrorist but has since reformed and is now a strong anti-terrorism advocate. His understanding of the terrorist mind is accurate and useful in the fight against terrorism.

The SPLC would rather be politically correct than correct. Just Google these morons and understand who the real hater is. Some on their hate group list is quite accurate, but it's the groups they leave out that's most disturbing, along with some they label as a hate group.

The SPLC cannot suck enough and the fact the FBI even considers their political tripe is unsettling.

What it's going to take to beat ISIS

A lot of people in the West believe that every Muslim ought to be either monitored, shipped off to another country (or planet), incarcerated, or killed. I don't think that's a good strategy because it's never going to happen and it will not solve the problem with Islamic terrorism.

The majority of Westerners also believe that more should be done by Muslims themselves, to help the world deal with the problem of Islamic terrorism. I happen to be one of those people, but I think many of us may not realize that there are some Muslims who are doing everything they can to dismantle and discredit this horrible jihadist ideology.

After the Paris attacks on Friday the 13th of this month, Muslim human rights activists (yes, they do exist) are fighting back against radical Islamic ideology and also going against those idiots who deny the relationship of the Islamic State to Islam.

Mohammed Amin, the chairman of the UK Conservative Muslim Forum, slammed the Muslim groups that refused to do anything beyond lip service, saying "condemning terrorism is not enough if you are unwilling to acknowledge its cause."

That takes spherical biological equipment.


Amin said that condemnations of terrorism from groups like Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Council of Britain left him "feeling frustrated--because they look so incomplete." He went on to add "I am utterly fed up with hearing people, both Muslim and non-Muslim, argue that the religious views of the terrorists are irrelevant."

It's about time someone of the Islamic faith spoke out like this.

Another activist, Maajid Nawaz said on Facebook that "None of us Muslims deserves an infantile pat on the back merely for condemning ISIS, which even al-Qaeda does."

Anti-extremism activist and journalist Felix Marquardt stepped it up a notch writing in The Telegraph that "We Muslims must hunt down these monsters who make a mockery of our religion." He called out Muslims who, like Obama and liberals in general, say that ISIS has "nothing to do with Islam," despite that this is the Muslim knee-jerk reaction, labeling it "dubious intellectually and altogether irresponsible to keep our reaction at that."

There are other Muslims, like Dr. Zudhi Jasser and Raheel Raza, the latter who implore both Muslims and non-Muslims to "connect the dots to get to the root of terrorism." She argues that "Since 9/11, the West has been waffling in the quicksand of political correctness and refuse to call a spade a spade."

Perhaps this is a start to how we can eventually defeat Islamic terrorism. We aren't going to do it by simply expressing our anger and only do what Trump promised: "I will bomb the shit out of them."

Yes, if we bomb them, then we ought to bomb the shit out of them and stop playing PC games with our rules of engagement. It prolongs war and increases the body count.

But I believe we need to show potential ISIS recruits and their ilk, dead jihadists, torn apart or burned to a crisp from our weapons. We need to make a horrible display, like they do whenever they behead one of our own, by being as graphic as they are. This is the reality they need to witness that might make them think twice before they go all 'guns n glory' on us.

In other words, we need to use shock and awe that will show them what losers they are.
