Police training promoted a clash-of-civilizations doctrine labeling Islam intrinsically 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
