Tennessee conservatives and law enforcement agree: Muslims pose a danger to
America and must be carefully monitored.
WSMV<http://www.wsmv.com/story/17031527/lebanon-event-organizers-say-islam-is-election-hot-topic>
The Muslim religion is a hot topic for some in Middle Tennessee and in
national politics. Monday, the Wilson County Tea Party hosted an event
called "The Dangers of Islam." Organizers called it a voter
education event, but there is some concern about the real message.
The Tea Party group and the Tennessee Freedom Coalition rented a movie
screen at the Roxy Theatre in Lebanon for the event. They want to keep the
issue of Islam very much in the foreground prior to the upcoming vote on
Super Tuesday, believing that Islam is a threat to America and so-called
Sharia Law is an even bigger threat.

Tennessee panel approves training critics call anti-Muslim
Nashville Ledger<http://www.nashvilleledger.com/editorial/Article.aspx?id=57485>
A state panel on Friday unanimously approved credits for a law enforcement
training course that critics have called anti-Muslim. The Muslim civil
rights organization Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is among
those that have publicly denounced the "Understanding the Threat to
America" course by the Strategic Engagement Group, a Virginia nonprofit.

"False and inaccurate training is ultimately counterproductive and could
have a detrimental effect on officers' ability to fairly police the
community they serve," reads a Tuesday letter from Washington-D.C.,-based
CAIR to the state's Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission. The
letter asks POST Commission Director Brian Grisham to investigate the
appropriateness of the training and singles out trainer John Guandolo for
scrutiny.
*Guandolo recently told a Nashville audience that local mosques are part of
the Muslim Brotherhood and do not have a right to con stitutional
protections.*
Members of the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office participated in the
training earlier this week and asked the POST Commission to approve it so
that deputies could use it as part of their required 40-hours-per-year of
in-service training. The commission gave its unanimous approval at its
Friday meeting without discussing the objections, although Grisham did
mention that there had been a complaint and the letter from CAIR was
included in the commission's packet.
*The training took place in Rutherford County, the site of a heated
controversy over the construction of a new mosque that has led to court
battles and the arson of construction equipment.*

Sen. Jim Summerville was attending his first meeting as a new commission
member. Asked about his vote, he said, "I support training for
anti-terrorism." He added that based on the information he had seen so far
about this particular course, he had no objections to it.
Sheriff Robe rt Arnold, in an interview, said he did not think the training
was anti-Muslim. "We're just trying to get information and knowledge," he
said. "Lady justice is blind and we will always protect the citizens of
Rutherford County."

*SEG President EJ Kimball also defended the training in an interview,
saying it was "meant to provide the law enforcement community with tools to
understand the threat from the Muslim Brotherhood specifically in the
United States."*
Among those to complain about the training were two Tennessee groups - the
American Center for Outreach and the American Muslims Advisory
Council. Advisory Council board member Kasar Abdulla said she is concerned
that the training paints all Muslims as potential terrorists and sows
suspicion of local Muslims among law enforcement. The training schedule
included a session titled, "Muslim Brotherhood Presence in Locale of
Presentation."
