"A plan by the counterterrorism bureau of the Los Angeles Police Department to create a map detailing the Muslim communities in that city, an effort described as a step toward thwarting radicalization, has angered civil rights groups, which say it is no better than racial profiling." But you always find a lousy leader and of a lousy Arab and Muslim American organization to support such measures. "Not all Muslim groups in the area object to Mr. Downing’s idea. “There has been a lot of discussion on the issue of ghettoization and counterghettoization,” said Salam al-Marayati, executive director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, which is considering being the Police Department’s partner in the project. Mr. Marayati said his group supported anything that would help integration as long as it safeguarded civil liberties." I mean how dumb can Marayati be? He really thinks that the POLICE DEPARTMENT is mapping Muslims in order to help integrate them? Well, yes. Marayati is that dumb. I forgot.
