Islamic  activists that strong-armed the FBI to purge anti-terrorism training  material considered “offensive” to Muslims have made their next wave of  demands, which include an overhaul in the way all law enforcement  officers are trained in the United States.
 
 The coalition of influential and politically-connected Muslim  rights groups is demanding that the Obama administration implement a  mandatory retraining program for all federal, state and local law  enforcement officials who may have been subjected to materials they deem  “biased and discriminatory” against Muslims. There must also be an  audit of all federal law enforcement and intelligence gathering training  and educational materials to identify and remove information that could  exhibit bias against any race, ethnicity, religion or national origin,  the groups demand.
 
 Additionally, the administration must pursue disciplinary action  against agents and officials who engage in discriminatory conduct as  well as those responsible for the anti-Muslim training materials.  Finally, the coalition insists that all federal funding to local and  state law enforcement agencies be withheld unless they ban all training  materials considered to be biased against race, ethnicity, religion or  national origin. In short, these empowered Muslim activists want to  dictate how our nation’s law enforcement agencies operate at every  level.
 
 The outrageous demands were made this month in a letter to Lisa O.  Monaco, the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and  Counterterrorism. Among the signatories is the terrorist front  organization Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has  repeatedly proven that it wields tremendous power in the Obama  administration. Founded in 1994 by three Middle Eastern extremists, CAIR  got the FBI to purge anti-terrorism material determined to be offensive  to Muslims. Judicial Watch uncovered that scandal last summer and  obtained hundreds of pages of FBI documents with details of the  arrangement. 
 
 CAIR also got several police departments in President Obama’s home  state of Illinois to cancel essential counterterrorism courses over  accusations that the instructor was anti-Muslim. The course was called  “Islamic Awareness as a Counter-Terrorist Strategy” and departments in  Lombard, Elmhurst and Highland Park caved into CAIR’s demands. The group  responded with a statement commending officials for their “swift action  in addressing the Muslim community’s concerns.” CAIR has wielded its  power in a number of other cases during the Obama presidency, including  blocking an FBI probe involving the radicalization of young Somali men  in the U.S. and pressuring the government to file discrimination  lawsuits against employers who don’t accommodate Muslims in the  workplace.
 
 Other signatories include the powerful open borders group Mexican  American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), Muslim Advocates,  Women in Islam Inc., the National Association for the Advancement of  Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), to  name a few. The group’s claim that recent administration directives to  promote multicultural and diversity sensitivity training in law  enforcement aren’t enough because they don’t specifically address  anti-Muslim materials.
