#1 God darn it! They know where every other ethnic, religious, and social community is.... Policing is their frickin job!!! So it is ok to know where jews, gays, blacks, chinese, japanese, africans, hmong hill people, white trash trailer parks, budhists, movie stars, zoroastrians, jedi, and every other community live, but now it is impermissible to soil the muslim conciousness by simply taking note of the location of their own ethnic community?

#2 "The mapping of Muslim communities . . . seems premised on the faulty notion that Muslims are more likely to commit violent acts than people of other faiths,"
Apparently the ACLU doesn't read the news.

"racial profiling"
This race card is getting worn at the edges. "Muslim" is not a race any more than "Roman Catholic" is a race.

#3 Agreed Darrell. I'm not an English master by any means but wouldn't 'Ethnocide' be more appropriate (but not really exact)? Wikipedia, "...used to describe the destruction of a culture of a people."
Since cultures can be changed, admiting that Islam is a culture implies that it could be changed or challenged, which seems to be an inflexable notion to the muslims steering the wheel. And there is the more emotive reason for calling its practice a race rather than a way of living.

Certainly Law Enforcement should start checking out certain bakeries (I know, Oakland is not LA), if they could get used to croissants over donuts (/cop profile ;) )

#4 They should have phrased it differently. They want to map in order to better protect Muslims from hate crimes. Of course they would mean from committing hate crimes, but they dont' need to say that.

#5 RJ is right. It's all in the presentation. Most famous example..."it's for the children!"
