He goes by 'Roger', is the head of CIA's counterterrorism and he converted to Islam. He has held this position for six years. And he is still in that position. He got a lot of criticism for the 2009 suicide strike at CIA outpost in Afganistan that killed seven CIA employees. Remember that? They just let this Muslim guy into the conference room with lame screening and he blew them all up. He was hardly checked out at all before his appointment with them. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/front...covert-convert-behind-the-cias-drone-program/
You don't read between the lines do you? The last CIA head before 'Roger' said the increased drone strikes are actually creating more muslim terrorists. And of course you ignored the massive criticism 'Roger' received after a Muslim, sorry to call him that, but yes he was a muslim, was allowed to walk in a conference room with seven other CIA employees after word of mouth verification, then he activated a bomb in his vest and blew them all up? This is the CIA?? Of course you did.
Hello? Okay, 'Roger' should leave or be forced to leave as Head of the counter-terroism unit of the CIA.
If Roger has seen this video, he probably would have changed his mind about converting to Islam. Three Things About Islam [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib9rofXQl6w&feature=player_embedded"]Three Things About Islam - YouTube[/ame]
Can you clarify... You believe that his conversion to Islam is interfering with his ability to do his job, or that he's incompetent and the conversion is a secondary issue?
I think being an Islamist is interfering with his job to be competent. I would think he would be very conflicted. I know this is not big news to everyone here like the Trayvon issue, and most people don't even watch Frontline, who seemed to consider it a negative factor, but there it is.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. This applies to Federal employees as well
Maybe you should have some actual evidence instead of "OMG! He's a Muslim!! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!" Xenophobia is never pretty.
You tell me. I'm not a legal expert, I only know the law is on the books that discrimination solely on the basis of religion is illegal.
We should all care. This is not wise. Who is this man? Why did he convert to Islam? Seems like a conflict of interest to me. How can he be objective?
Do you really think they would let him be the head of the counterterrorism part of the CIA without knowing him and making sure he wouldn't do something? Have a little faith in the CIA, they know what they're doing.
I like threads like this. It brings the xenophobic bigots out into the light. Funny how many of the same people claim racism is dead.
There are two levels of analysis that are required. 1. What is the law? 2. What is the practical real world street level effect? On the first matter there can be no discrimination. That is settled. The problem is that the law may very well have permitted a viper to be introduced into the inner sanctums or power. In such an event the country will be harmed by its own laws. On the other level, if the guy is a Sufi there is no problem. If he is not a Sufi or maybe an Ahmadi, there is risk the magnitude of which we will never know. One of the reasons the British lost the American Revolutionary War is because their General Clinton was an Americaphile.
But you clearly have no experience with this topic in the real world. Trust me, the war on Islam is REAL and also UNDECLARED and UNSPOKEN of. But everyone who matters recognizes it. Listen to what Michael Scheuer has to say about it, former cia agent.
