Muslim women's group charges FBI behind New York synagogue plot

While I was in the United States, a plot to blow up the Jewish Center in Riverdale, New York was exposed. Four Muslims from Newburgh, New York were arrested in connection with the plot. Today, the National Association of American Muslim Women is making the ridiculous charge that the FBI was behind the plot.

The National Association of Muslim American Women (NAMAW) has charged the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with entrapping four New York City Muslims arrested for planning to bomb a synagogue.

...

NAMAW appealed to the Justice Department to investigate the case, accusing the FBI of plotting to entrap the cell as part of a campaign against Muslims. It said that the FBI is “creating the illusion that all Muslims are either terrorists or potential terrorists, thereby substantiating the use of racial and religious profiling on Muslims and Arabs.

“The FBI, posing as Al Qaeda-backed militants to brainwash and coax 'vulnerable' men into the walking trap of their own foiled terrorist plot, causes grave concern to the representatives of Muslims in American society," the organization said in a statement.

Police and federal investigators, after tracking the cell, sold them fake bombs and a phony Stinger missile that the four men planned to use to attack two Jewish buildings, including a synagogue, and a National Guard air base.

The cell wanted to create “a fireball that would make the country gasp, “according to a police officer.

The group had previously charged the 'Jewish lobby' (you know, that omnipresent group created by Walt and Mearsheimer) with being behind the attack.

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.

I guess I just can't empathize with them.
