Florida has historically been the center for jihadi activities since 1990. Eleven of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers trained in Florida before the attack. Three of the pilots including Mohammed Atta, the leader of the 9/11 attack, learned how to pilot the jet aircraft used on 9/11 at a flight school located in Sarasota, Florida. The Islamic Society of Sarasota-Bradenton helped raise funds for the terrorist group HAMAS two years ago.
Given all of this you would think that Sheriff Tom Knight's efforts to train his deputies on how to recognize shariah Islamists would be welcomed by everyone, especially Muslims, who have been the victims of attacks around the world. Well not so. The Council on American Islamic Relations in Tampa (CAIR-Tampa) wants this type of training to stop all across Florida. They have singled out Sheriffs Tom Knight from Sarasota and Bob White from Pasco County. What is their crime? Their efforts to protect and defend citizens against acts of terrorism by training their deputies on how to recognize suspicious activity.
According to the CAIR-Tampa website:
"Law Enforcement Trainings about "Radical Muslims" - We reference two examples of a cottage industry made up of anti-Muslim groups and individuals, who sell themselves as "experts" on radical Islam and Muslims, and then offer trainings to law enforcement agencies throughout Florida. Sarasota County Sheriff's Office has already done this and now Pasco County Sheriff's Office may be doing the same. The DHS representative at the meeting was aware of this and has pledged to contact the Sheriff's offices with alternative trainings by the DHS."
The expert they are referring to is Sam Kharoba, President and founder of the Florida based Counter Terrorism Operations Center. Sam felt compelled after 9/11 to defend America against future attacks by shariah Islamists. A former computer programmer he developed a software program to help law enforcement do online searches using Muslim names and aliases. Sam, using his skills, began teaching law enforcement, the military and other security agencies how to recognize individuals and groups who have become radicalized to the point of taking action against civilians or facilities. His lecture series has been embraced by those in the counter and anti-terrorism business nationally.As has been reported, CAIR has been identified by the FBI as a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood. CAIR leaders have been linked to the Department of State designated terrorist organization HAMAS. CAIR's efforts have been and remain focused on keeping the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from doing its job. CAIR is in the forefront of efforts to ham string law enforcement. They do this by providing "Muslim sensitivity" training. This is akin to the Mafia training the FBI on "Italian sensitivity".
CAIR-Tampa has joined with other CAIR chapters nationwide to prevent Americans Muslims from talking to the FBI. On their website the following warning appears:
If The FBI Contacts You - Contact Us!
"There have been recent concerns over the recent "foiled plots" by the FBI. Particularly, CAIR criticizes the FBI for its use of agent provocateurs specifically targeting American Muslims and entrapping them in "manufactured" crimes they never intended to commit in the first place.
While there is a legitimate use of informants by law enforcement agencies, a fine line is crossed when those agencies target a specific community and create the crime they are trying to prevent. In many cases where the FBI has "foiled a plot," they have actually provided the motivation and the necessary resources to carry out the crime through agent provocateurs."
