Hot on the heels of Elibiary’s whitewash of the FBI’s anti-Islam training program, and Muslim Matter’s subsequent desperate push of his article on the interwebs comes this breaking story courtesy of wired.com:
“…untangling the Islamophobic thread woven into the FBI’s counterterrorism training culture won’t be easy. In addition to inflammatory seminars which likened Islam to the Death Star and Mohammed to a “cult leader,” Danger Room has obtained more material showing just how wide the anti-Islam meme has spread throughout the Bureau.”
The following are a selection of books found in the FBI’s library:
Despite Elibiary’s claims that the FBI agent featured in wired’s original article was one of relatively few rotten apples in the bureau, wired say the opposite is the case…
The FBI declined to respond directly to such questions from Danger Room. But what’s clear is that the anti-Islam sentiment in the FBI’s training and orientation isn’t the marginal problem that the Bureau portrayed in its previous public statements and press releases. It’s not a historical problem, it’s ongoing. And it will require substantial effort to root out. Not even a July warning from the office of a powerful senator was able to spur the Bureau to purge itself of its anti-Islam material.
Will Elibiary and Muslim Matters now admit that the FBI is institutionally anti-Muslim?
Field negroes shouldn’t hold their breath.
Perhaps you should read this and drop the polemic field-house Negro nonsense.

Actually it is you who is trying to defend the indefensible. The anti-islam bias within the FBI is startling and there are many cases to prove it as a fact except for the crew at MM.
Actually MM should rename itself and change it AM (America matters)
Perhaps you should read this as well, bub:

Anonymous,
What on earth are you talking about? If anyone clicks on that link and watches the vimeo link, they will see that Elibiary is a complete sell-out and agent – and that he is trying to paint a nice image of the FBI to the Muslims that even they themselves do not attempt to do.
He seems to think that any ‘mistake’ they make is down to a rogue agent or a mix-up, whereas Spencer Ackerman at wired.com has proved conclusively that it is in fact a very deliberate anti-islam policy that the FBI has adopted. Ackerman’s claims seem to have rattled Elibiary and Muslim Matters who are now reacting as they are. Shame on them. Rather than serve the Muslims, they are attempting to whitewash the whole affair.
Anonymous, I’d like to draw your attention to the sequence of events:
1) News emerges of Islamophobic training carried out for FBI agents
2) Elibiary responds in his article saying that FBI isn’t really as bad as claimed
3) Even worse revelations come out pointing that the problem within the FBI isn’t marginal – it’s historical and ongoing.
In any type of relationship where two parties are trying to come to a common understanding, if it is revealed that one of the parties is simultaneously undermining the other behind it’s back, it should cause the undermined party to re-evaluate the entire nature of the relationship. Self-dignity requires that. Which is why I don’t understand why MM have been so defensive of the FBI. In fact, the strongest defense of the FBI in this matter didn’t come from the FBI itself, it came from Elibiary and via MM through him. And if you contemplate that you will understand why Malcolm X’s classic separation of two parties is so apt here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znQe9nUKzvQ
