CAIR Campaign against Anti-Muslim Extremist's Training of Police in Arizona
EHRAN (IQNA) – An anti-Muslim bigot and conspiracy theorist is being paid thousands of dollars in public funds this week to train Arizona law enforcement officers about what he calls the “jihadi” threat in the US, despite calls for the training to be canceled.
The Mesa Police
Department is hosting John Guandolo, a disgraced former FBI agent with deep
ties to anti-Muslim hate groups, at a police facility for a three-day seminar
titled, "Understanding and Investigating the Jihadi Network.”
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), this month launched an online petition and now has more than 2,000 signatures calling for the training to be canceled, citing Guandolo’s record of pushing "bigoted” and "downright bizarre” theories about Muslims in the US, HuffPost News reported.
"It’s unacceptable
to have him training Arizona law enforcement officers,” the petition says.
The seminar started
Tuesday as scheduled.
