Muslim homes monitored for radiation

Another slam dunk for the US.

CNN - The FBI has been covertly monitoring mosques and Muslim homes and businesses in U.S. cities for abnormal radiation levels since 2002, several government officials confirmed Friday.

One government official said the authorities don’t obtain warrants because the testing is conducted from outside the buildings on what they consider public property.

A Muslim advocacy group has said that the program is “misguided” and targets “the wrong people.”

“It is a waste of time, it is a waste of resources and it is causing us to be concerned about our citizenship, our constitutional rights,” Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told CNN.

And though the FBI is in denial claiming that they don’t target any “particular group of citizens,” the fact that they keep hanging around parking lots outside mosques kind of dispels that flimsy defense. It’s just like the profiling, which also doesn’t target Muslims, just people who look like they may come from the middle-east or dress like a stereotypical Muslim would. Flimsy excuses. But the “good news” is that they are onto something. At the rate the US is sinking, soon there will be a team of secret police outside of everyone’s house looking for suspicious behavior. Until of course society turns on itself and becomes atomized, isolated individuals who gladly report their own families if they think it will save their skin.
