The domestic Muslim enemy is fought with the same methods as the foreign one

Evidence

The dichotomy between the conservative wing of the security apparatus and what might be called a “realist” wing is similar to that which exists in the foreign policy establishment. That such parallel views should exist within the security community is hardly surprising, given the interconnections between the political establishment, the military, and the legal system. Personnel often move from one realm to the other, carrying with them their backgrounds and points of view. For instance, about a third of the FBI’s counterterrorism staff has past military service in the Middle East. The “Muslim enemy” abroad and the one at home is fought using similar methods. — Deepa Kumar, Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire, 613
