Training ties CAIR to jihadi network - Why is the counter-terrorism training performed by Guandolo, which is singled out by name in the letter, so threatening to pro-jihad groups? For one, Guandolo lays out the radical Muslim Brotherhood’s extensive jihadi network in America, and federal prosecutors have identified CAIR as a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas in America. He advises that CAIR’s branch offices located in major cities across the U.S. should be aggressively investigated. In his intensive three-day training program, Guandolo gives a detailed understanding of Shariah and how understanding it and the Muslim Brotherhood network necessarily changes how traffic stops, interviews and homicide investigations are conducted, among other things. He explains that local law enforcement is key to neutralizing the jihadist threat. New federal investigative guidelines issued by Attorney General Eric Holder have overly restrained federal agents’ ability to effectively root out bad guys in local mosques and the Muslim community. “A sheriff is the most powerful law enforcement officer in the nation,” Guandolo explained. “Sheriffs can make life very difficult for jihadist once they understand how they operate and where to look for them.” Stoughton Police Chief Paul Shastany of Massachusetts agrees. “Local police play an important role in the war on terror,” he said in the wake of news a key ISIS leader, Ahmad Abousamra, is an American citizen who grew up in Stoughton, a suburb of Boston. “This underscores the need for police departments to work with the government, law enforcement agencies and the Joint Terrorism Task Force to keep our lines of information open,” Shastany said. “You just never know.” A sheriff in Midland County, Texas, moreover, says he recently received a federal bulletin that ISIS cells have infiltrated along the Texas border and may try to carry out attacks in Texas cities. Among other things, Guandolo advises local sheriff’s deputies and detectives to apply extra scrutiny to young Muslim men who suddenly grow a long beard or force their wives or girlfriends to wear garments fully covering their bodies and heads, among other outward signs of Islamic radicalization. Muslim converts who take names such as “Sharia,” “Jihad,” “Mujtahid,” “Saif u Islam,” “Mujahadeen” or “Osama” are also a concern, he says Read More: csiafoundation/12202-u-s-muslims-ask-obama-to-block-counter-terror-training
