Tennessee Police Training Seminar Taught By Notorious Anti-Muslim Activist ~~~ World Outreach Church

According to WSMV-TV, the SEG was hired for the seminar by the Tennessee Freedom Coalition, itself a reliable hotbed of Islamophobia. Lou Ann Zelenik, the Executive Director of the TFC, made an unsuccessful bid for Congress in 2010, and used her opposition to the controversial plans to build a mosque in Murfreesboro as a central tenet of her campaign.

"Until the American Muslim community find it in their hearts to separate themselves from their evil, radical counterparts, to condemn those who want to destroy our civilization and will fight against them, we are not obligated to open our society to any of them," Zelenik declared.

The TFC also played host to anti-Islam Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders, who spoke at a free barbecue lunch. "I compare Islam not with Christianity and Judaism. I compare Islam with fascism and communism," Wilders said at the time.

Corey Saylor, the National Legislative Director for CAIR, told TPM that the SEG "has been of concern to us for years" for their belief that "mosques don't have religious rights, and shouldn't enjoy First Amendment protections."

How is it that these Islamophobes not see that they are terribly like the early National Socialists of Germany. Government should be wary and so should the rest of us.
