In this first video from Al-Jazeerah, there is an interview with Spencer Ackerman, a journalist for Wired.com, who first came out with the accusations against the FBI and it's training. Ackerman also told Al-Jazeera why the FBI teachings are "constitutionally dicey".
"There is still a real ignorance and to some degree a real fear of Islam that has found a surprising home in the FBI", he said.
"If they spend their time and resources going after indicators of violent behavior based on the amount of religiosity a person displays, then first of all they are not going to get actual terrorists, but innocent people."
In this second video from the Alyona show's youtube channel, the host talks about the accusations made by Spencer Ackerman and in support of Muslims. She also shows the graph I posted earlier. For the description of the video, it was written,
"Spencer Ackerman from Wired's Danger Room has acquired a course handbook used to train FBI counterterrorism officers at the FBI training ground in Quantico Virginia. The course focuses solely on the threat of terror from Muslims, and encourages trainees to focus on a Muslim's religion as the sole factor in determining if they might be a terrorist. What's worse, use of the word "radical" isn't even a focus in this handbook because according to these teachings, even mainstream Muslims are terrorist sympathizers. So basically, every Muslims likes terrorists according to them."
