Law enforcement agencies operationalize the ideology that Islam is inherently violent

Evidence

Undercover agents were predisposed to presume guilt, in part because of the Islamophobic training in police departments. NYPD officers, for example, received training by government-paid instructors who promoted the clash of civilizations narrative. Trainers warned officers that “Islam is a highly violent radical religion that mandates that all of the earth must be Muslim.” — Sahar F. Aziz, The Racial Muslim, 924 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

This was “structural,” or state-sponsored, Islamophobia: the enforcement, through law, policy, or formal state activity, of the presumption that Muslims were tied to terrorism. And in Jihan’s experience as a Syrian immigrant newly arrived in Maryland, being targeted by a presidential executive order upheld by the highest court in the land. — Khaled A.

That was the justification espoused by Congressman Peter King when he held two high-profile hearings in 2011, “The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community’s Response” and “Homegrown Threat of Violent Islamic Extremist Terrorism.” As early as 2004, King proclaimed that most Muslim leaders are “enemies living amongst us.” He alleged that 80 percent to 85 percent of mosques in the United States are run by Islamic fundamentalists, a thinly veiled accusation of terrorism. The implication is obvious: mosques are not houses of worship under the purview of religious freedom protections. Rather, they are nefarious places that breed terrorists. Hence Religious Racial Muslims are legitimate targets of law enforcement scrutiny. — Sahar F. Aziz, The Racial Muslim, 818 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
