OUTRAGEOUS: Muslim Groups Demand That Obama Exempt Them From Terror Prosecution Laws

Lead by the terror-connected Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group of Muslim clerics in the USA are demanding that Obama exempt them from being liable for prosecution under anti-jihad laws meant to prevent US citizens from aiding and abetting terrorism.

CAIR, an un-indicted co-conspirator in terrorism, says that Muslims in the USA should be exempt[1] from any suspicion or prosecution from being associated with “a potential violent extremist.”

The demands are being pushed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, just before Obama is slated to headline three days of White House meetings this week on federal efforts to mitigate the jihadi violence that is emerging from the growing population of Muslim immigrants.

Justice Department “policies should make clear that those who intervene to [stop attacks] should not suffer for it by being subjected to prosecution, watchlisting, or surveillance because of their association with a potential violent extremist,” said a CAIR statement.

“The Department of Justice should issue guidelines … to protect those who act in good faith to prevent violent extremism by engaging with [Muslims] considering it in order to dissuade them,” CAIR demanded.

CAIR will repeat its demand for more autonomy in a Tuesday press conference in Minneapolis, Minn., with a group of self-described leaders of the immigrant Somali population.

Sure would be nice if every criminal and enemy of the country could just have Obama exempt them from prosecution, eh?
