In a decision available online, the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission (EEOC) ruled in favor of a Muslim who filed a complaint about a 2005 course at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC). In Washington Monthly's "How We Train Our Cops to Fear Islam," available online since early 2012, authors Joshua Craze and Meg Stalcup describe the Muslim's complaint about Kharoba this way:

"As things turned out, though, the students of FLETC wound up being more skeptical than the school's course evaluators. The same month that Kharoba was being invited to incorporate his material into the FLETC curriculum, FLETC received a complaint from an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official named Muhammad Rana. Rana had been angered by course materials that included a handout describing "fundamentalist Muslims" as people with "long beards and head coverings" who, while "we call them radicals ... are practicing true Islam." Eleven out of fifteen members of the class submitted a letter in support of Rana's complaint, and Rana took his case to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which ruled in his favor."
In his March 2012 response to the Washington Monthly article, Kharoba did not make any effort to rebut Craze and Stalcup's reporting on Rana's complaint.

The EEOC, referring to Kharoba as I1, also found the following in its decision:

"The [EEOC Administrative Judge] noted that complainant was not the only student who felt I1's comments were inappropriate and had the purpose of degrading and demonizing followers of Islam. The evidence showed that the agency had received complaints regarding this course from prior students. Indeed, complainant's classmates complained as well. On February 23, 2005, eleven out of the fifteen members of the class submitted a letter to the Director of the training program (D1), requesting that he eliminate I1's class altogether, calling it 'repulsive.' The letter from the class to D1 stated:
"'Our reasons for making this request is that we found the content, most of it, to be filled with stereotyping, unsubstantiated allegations, unrelated information and personal bias. [I1] continuously emphasized that all people of the Muslim faith would exhibit this particular behavior and share the one common goal of either converting everyone to their religion or eliminating them, in essence, they all had terrorist characteristics.'"

Muslims Seek Law Enforcement Instructor's Ouster

Where do you get the "peaceful" definition of Islam? There is plenty of violence in Islam's history and its spreading (which is a key doctrine) has been largely achieved by very violent means.
ReplyDeleteYou do not see Christians or Jews (with few rare exceptions) ready to lay down their lives to take down some infidels with them. If you look at the statistics of deaths at the hand of terrorists, it is Muslim terrorist that are most prominent by far. It makes total sense to direct our limited resources to profile people with beards.
This is what they do in Israel, the safest place in the middle east to practice any flavor of Islam w-out fear of being blown up on the way to from mosque.
According to the EEOC report, complainant [“was part of a class of trainees attending a seven-week training course at FLETC”] and [“From January 11, 2005 and February 25, 2005, complainant was subjected to a hostile work environment”]. I never taught a seven-week class at FLETC. I was never at FLETC for seven weeks. I also never taught student trainees at FLETC.
ReplyDeleteThis class, as clearly stated in the EEOC [“complainant had been hired and was in the process of being trained as a Center Adjudication Officer at the agency's Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC)”] was part of an agency’s curriculum and was taught by agency instructors and not by guest instructors such as myself. I was never employed by FLETC or any Governmental Agency. I1 in the EEOC report was a fulltime instructor at FLETC!
Furthermore, I never instructed a class at FLETC by the title "Arab Names/Arab Culture”. I never published any document or booklet by the title "Core Beliefs of Islam: The Mindset of Violence."
Another lie busted!
