Re: [I-S] CIA wants Muslims, Muslims don't want CIA

 I'm beginning to trust my state's Police more than I do the CIA. At least the police are sworn to protect and defend.

CIA wants Muslims, Muslims don't want CIA
What efforts will be taken to ensure that the recruits are not jihadi
infiltrators? Why, none. "CIA goes hiring in heart of Arab America," by
Soyoung Kim for Reuters, November 27 (thanks to all who sent this in):

DEARBORN, Michigan (Reuters) - At Tuhama's Lebanese deli in Dearborn, and at
bakeries and barbershops throughout town, it's no secret the CIA is looking
for a few good spies.
"There is a lot of talk, and nobody likes it," said Hamze Chehade, a
48-year-old Lebanese-American, taking a bite of his chicken shawarma.

In dire need of agents fluent in Arabic, the U.S. Central Intelligence
Agency has made an unusual public show of its recruiting effort in Dearborn
-- a city of 100,000 with the densest Arab population in the United States.

The agency has bought full-page ads in Arabic-language newspapers and it is
rolling out TV ads aimed at luring Arab-Americans and Iranian-Americans to
spycraft.

But despite a weak economy and high unemployment, the CIA will find it hard
to hire here, residents say. Many see U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East
as misguided and anger over the perceived mistreatment of Arab-Americans
runs deep.

Reuters doesn't mention it, of course, but there is also the idea that it is
wrong for Muslims to fight other Muslims (cf. Koran 4:92), and wrong to work
for an Infidel polity.

It won't be easy to win hearts and minds here, they say.
"If anyone goes, they would be just going for the money, not following the
heart," said Chehade, a cabinet-maker who immigrated from Lebanon 21 years
ago.

CIA recruiters said the agency sorely needs speakers of Arabic and other
languages due to the intensifying insurgency in Afghanistan and the
continuing U.S. occupation of Iraq.

"Obviously, with the wars going on in the Middle East, that's really on
America's radar," said Henry Medina, who is in charge of CIA recruiting in
the Midwest....

One TV spot showed a dinner party at an Arab-American home, with a narrator
intoning, "Your nation, your world. They're worth protecting. Careers in the
CIA." The camera zooms out to show the party taking place in a modern
high-rise building, then a view of the United States from outer space....

"People have been told, 'Your name is Mohammed; your name is Ahmed; you must
be a terrorist," said Osama Siblani, Lebanese-born publisher of the
Dearborn-based Arab American News. "How do you bring people into the
government when they have been subjected to a great deal of discrimination?"

He added: "You have to believe that what you are doing is the right thing,
otherwise you are just a gun for hire."

The problem here, of course, is that Osama Siblani and his ilk have done
nothing to root out jihadis from their ranks. Then they try to claim victim
status.

Siblani, whose newspaper runs CIA recruiting ads, met CIA Director Leon
Panetta during a September visit to Dearborn. "I said, treat us like
Americans," he said. "We love America but does America love us?"
What exactly has Siblani done to show he loves America? Islamic groups have
generally opposed every anti-terror effort, and have concentrated on
claiming to be victimized rather than done anything to demonstrate their
loyalty to Constitutional principles and freedoms.

Dawud Walid, head of the Michigan branch of the Council on American-Islamic
Relations, agreed that many Arab-Americans were torn between feelings of
patriotism and resentment of U.S. government policy at home and abroad.
"I think transparency will do a lot more than airing TV commercials. There's
a large amount of fear and mistrust with the government," Walid said....

There no doubt is, but there should be even more mistrust for CAIR, an
unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case that has never seen
an anti-terror initiative that it liked.

On Warren Avenue, where signs in Arabic outnumber those in English, other
residents said they doubted the CIA would find many willing recruits in
Dearborn.
"It's not lack of patriotism. It's questioning of wrong policy," said
Mohammed, a 24-year-old graduate student of Libyan descent who asked not to
use his last name.

Inside Tuhama's, Chehade said he would warn his adult sons to consider the
consequences of signing on with the CIA.

"People are going to hate you," he said.

Now, why exactly is that?
