Faux News ‘Expert’ Claims muslim Extremists Have 19 Paramilitary Training Facilities In U.S., Ignores 1,300+ Wingnut Militias

by Stephen D Foster Jr

Yet another Faux News terrorism “expert” has jumped on the fear mongering bandwagon to make Americans afraid of muslims, this time claiming that there are 19 muslim paramilitary facilities in the United States.
During an interview on Faux News with host Neil Cavuto, former CIA agent Wayne Simmons responded to the wingnut gripe that President Obama isn’t saying the words “islamic jihad” or “islamic extremist” by repeating a debunked myth that there are “no-go zones” in Europe and America where law enforcement is banned and Sharia law reigns. He then suggested surrounding such zones with razor wire and shutting off water access to the zones to force muslims to come out and be placed on a list.

“Until they face that, until they say that, until they get rid of these no-go zones. You go in and you put razor wire around those no-go zones, you turn off the water and then as they come out you catalog them. And that’s how you close these no-go zones.”

Then Simmons ramped up the fear factor by claiming that muslims have set up 19 paramilitary facilities across the country from which to commit acts of terrorism against American targets.

“It is incomprehensible that anywhere in the United States, these types of things would be allowed and, yet, my friend Ryan Mauro, as you probably know, reported that through the Clarion Project that we’ve got at least 19 paramilitary muslim training facilities in the United States. Are you kidding me? What are, what are they gonna do, go hunt deer during deer season? No. They’re using paramilitary exercises to plan and execute these types of operations all over the United States.”

To be blunt, it’s hard to believe that America’s militarized police forces would be too cowardly to enter “no-go” zones if they actually existed. The fact, however, is that they don’t exist.
Furthermore, Simmons reports that there are 19 muslim paramilitary groups in the U.S. that Americans should be scared of while not even mentioning the over 1,300 racist anti-government wingnut militias scattered across the country. You know, the same wingnuts who thirst for bloody revolution and fantasize about killing cops and liberals? The same wingnuts who stockpile assault weapons while planning the next Oklahoma City bombing? Yeah, THOSE militias.
Simmons’ claim is also suspect because he is getting this information from a notorious wingnut islamophobe named Ryan Mauro, whose Clarion Project organization is funded by anti-muslim and anti-islam groups. To learn more about Mauro and his hateful anti-muslim coven, visit here.
Once again, Faux News is guilty of drumming up hatred and fear of muslims by giving so-called “terrorism experts” airtime to spew their dangerous rhetoric and outrageous claims. This kind of irresponsible media needs to stop before innocent people are killed. Just because a person is a muslim, doesn’t mean they are a terrorist. It would be like saying that a person must be a racist anti-government wingnut ammosexual militia member because they are a 'christian'.
