We all want to know what went on in that warehouse back in October. We all want to be assured that our agents follow all laws designed to protect us from government tyranny. We all want to make certain that during raids such as these that reasonable measures are taken to minimize the loss of life. But, when the FBI entered that warehouse and when reportedly Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah opened fire, the chances for loss of life rose exponentially.

A thorough investigation, the type that John Conyers says that he wants, will answer all appropriate questions and address our concerns.

However, Conyers doth protest too much. Saudi Arabia and other wealthy oil nations are the primary purveyors of fundamentalist violent jihad all over the world. They have exported this terrorism onto every continent where Islam resides. The Fort Hood shooter was connected to a radical cleric as were the terrorists in London, Madrid, Mumbai, Bali, Jakarta, Beslan, and on and on. With this importation has come heightened awareness, at least for those of us without flat EEGs.

For Conyers to even hint that the USA is unfairly targeting Muslims by monitoring suspected mosques emboldens our enemies, and these guys don't need any more nerve. He fans distrust and does his best to make our anti-terrorism efforts to appear anti-Muslim in nature.

Worse, if the undercover investigations of radicalized mosques become a legal taboo, our country will be forever relegated to playing defense against an aggressive killer, and prevention will quickly take a back seat to picking up body parts at the crime scene.
