(IPT) As IPT Senior Fellow Patrick Dunleavy noted Friday, the Islamic Circle of North America has helped update a report on terrorist prosecutions in the United States which claims more than 9 in 10 cases involving Muslim suspects are bogus.
“Many convicted Muslims were sentenced to long years in prison for doing essentially nothing,” says the report, which is entitled “Inventing Terrorists.”
“The study shows that the war on terror has been largely a charade designed to make the American public believe that a terrorist army is loose in the U.S., when the truth is that most of the people convicted of terrorism-related crimes posed no danger to the U.S. and were entrapped by a preventive strategy known as preemptive prosecution.”
The report, which covers prosecutions through 2015, is so shoddy and superficial that it cannot be taken seriously. Even when it acknowledges a threat from radicalized Muslims, it minimizes that threat and, in two cases, simply pretends attacks didn’t happen.
