"’If you were looking [for] the needle in a haystack, that's the haystack you would look at,’ the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the program is classified. ‘You'd look at the [likely] targets and the places the operators were.’"

With that, the US officialdom told press that it is not focusing particularly on Muslims when "secretly testing radiation levels around the country."

I ask: Why not?

Muslim fanatics are cultists—a part of a killing cult. Civilized countries put down killing cults. They don’t permit them to exist alongside legitimate religions.

The other world religions do not advocate murdering persons who do not agree with their religious tenets. Islam decrees, according to the Koran’s Allah, that non-Muslims be murdered or become slaves of Muslims. There are scores of sentences in the Koran stating just that—repeatedly.

Therefore, Muslim zealots who claim to be totally loyal to the Koran and the Koran’s deity live out that tenet. They live it out, even if it means they die for it. Therefore, they are self-pronounced members of a killing cult.

Judaism, Christianity, Shintoism, Buddhism, Hinduism and other world religions espouse their teachings but none of their doctrines propose that non-devotees be slain. Islam decrees that as a top priority if one is going to be a practicing Muslim, loyal to the faith.

Therefore, with increasing numbers of Muslims, many zealots, in the United States, Americans should expect the government to have a state-of-the-art surveillance particularly focused on anything Muslim—mosques, meeting places, clerics’ homes, webmaster offices of Muslim sites, and so forth. This is so particularly with the illegals influx overtaking the country; many of these illegals are Muslim zealots, some outright criminals with histories.

Elsewhere in the world there are training schools where Muslim instructors teach boys and girls how to hate and kill. Why should not Americans presume that such instructions go on in this country—under cover perhaps, but nevertheless, taking place?

Therefore, when these so-called human rights groups protest the government surveillance, they are siding with the enemy that is out to undo the human rights groups. The same with the liberal media and liberal politicians. They are planning their own demise for the Islamic zealots they are protecting are out to kill them off. Anything non-Muslim in the US must go. Islam’s world rule is the decree of the Islamic cultists. There is nothing less to their creed.

That is why non-Muslims must realize that this war global is not politic against politic. It is democracy versus a killing cult. Some would say it is politic versus "religion." But more precisely, it is politic versus killing cult. That is the plain truth and the Muslims themselves would acknowledge that. It is the non-Muslims who sadly have not come to that stark awareness yet.

Therefore, better late than never, the Pentagon officialdom is finally getting around to studying the theology of Islam. That should have been put in place prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom. But, again, better late than never.

"Faced with angry complaints, U.S. officials defended an anti-terrorism program yesterday that secretly tested radiation levels around the country - including at more than 100 Muslim sites in the Washington area - and insisted that no one was targeted because of his or her faith.

"One official knowledgeable about the program explained that Muslim sites were included because al-Qaeda terrorists were considered likely to gravitate to Muslim neighborhoods or mosques while in the United States.

"’If you were looking [for] the needle in a haystack, that's the haystack you would look at,’ the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the program is classified. ‘You'd look at the [likely] targets and the places the operators were.

"The focus on the Muslim sites, which was first reported last week by U.S. News & World Report, has stunned and angered officials at mosques and Muslim and Arab-American organizations. Two such groups have filed Freedom of Information requests, known as FOIAs, in recent days to try to learn which sites were monitored. They also have requested meetings with the FBI, which ran the program along with the Energy Department."

"’The problem [is] ... it further gives the Muslim community a sense they are suspect, they are under the gun,’ said Ahmed Younis, national director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council." This is according go The Washington Post’s Mary Beth Sheridan.

And why should not they be suspect? That’s the question that should be answered in your face to the Muslims and liberals in America. They are suspect because they are suspected. Take a look around the globe at Muslim murderers global and that should answer the question.
