Sending a memo such as "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment" to police departments across the country, is doing nothing more than encouraging profiling and violence.
I can't believe the DHS would even put in writing the statement that our military may be vulnerable to recruitment by supremacist and radical groups when returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Have they no faith in these men and women? It borders on defamation of character, as far as I am concerned.
I am really disappointed in the "political climate". Our new, and improved, president was going to unite our country. Yet recent polls and studies show the United States has never been more divided. And now this? From the DHS? What is happening here? Is anybody out there?
I am as offended as I am disheartened.

Long Island NY Rep. Peter King's response to DHS report:
ReplyDeleteIn response to a recent Department of Homeland Security report about right-wing extremism, King told MSNBC Friday the department "has never put out a report talking about look out for mosques. Look out for Islamic terrorists in our country. Look out for the fact that very few Muslims come forward to cooperate with the police. If they sent out a report saying that, there would be hell to pay."
