Let the Nation of Islam patrol Miami? Sure, what could go wrong?
Hey, it’s a city full of Jewish retirees. Give Farrakhan the police powers and let him watch out for them:
The City of Miami says it plans to give $150,000 to a civilian patrol group known as the Peacemakers, to be run by the Progressive Land Development International, an organization that shares a mailing address with the Nation of Islam in Miami…
…Details of the program are still vague and an official contract has yet to be signed. But Ed O’Dell, spokesman for the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency, said the suit-and-tie wearing Muslim group will be working independent from police as role models* and crime watchers.
Okay, the Peacemakers are not exactly the same as the Nation of Islam. They just share a taste in bow ties, a mailing address, and it’s run by Elijah Muhammad’s son:
…the group is headed by Rasul Muhammad, a prominent Nation of Islam member and the son of former leader Elijah Muhammad, and its corporate offices are at the group’s Miami mosque.
Muhammad told the Miami Herald that the Peacemakers not are a racist organization.
“We are not anti-Jewish people. We are not anti-Catholic people. We are not anti-white people. The whole Peacemakers project is being based on being anti-crime, anti-immorality…. Are they saying that they don’t want peace?” he told the Herald.
I love it. Hey, if you don’t agree with us, you must hate peace. People aren’t going to fall for that stupid rhetorical trick–well, normal people. Liberals might.
Got a problem? Just call 911, and we’ll send Officers John Muhammad and Lee Malvo around to your house to deal with it.
I’ve said before that I’m not for a faith-based nuclear proliferation policy. I can’t really get all fired up for faith-based policing either. And something tells me I’m not the only one, and there is about to be a huge spike in CCW permit applications from Miami’s Overtown neighborhood.
*I see a huge first amendment issue here. These guys are given a privileged position of state authority, as well as money. If this isn’t an establishment of Islam, what is?
Oh. Right. I see your point. But still, the Peacemakers are an exclusively Muslim organization, and that’s an establishment.

Nothing will go wrong. LOL
I believe this saying applies completely:
Any other thoughts may not be acceptable to print.
This should go over like a pregnant pole vaulter.
These guys are pretty bad-ass and would probably be pretty effective, but I’m with you on this one see-dub. I’m not for any “faith based” policy. I’d have to think more about the establishment issue you raise to have an intelligent opinion.
The country IS going to hell in a hand basket…… going to clean my cc weapon of choice now.
The whole Peacemakers project is being based on being anti-crime, anti-immorality
That’s pretty scary coming from a bunch of muzzies.
Now that’s funny, Zorro #4
There are plenty of black folks down there too. You reckon they are going to hire the KKK to watch out for them?
And since when is “watching crime” worth $150,000? Priest/Pastors are peacemakers. Will they distribute some money to the churches?
God, please forgive me for what I think about Miami.
I can just see it now: “Pizza deliveryman robber killed by suicide bomber.” That should scare the crime out of the neighborhood.
The part of that statement most disturbing is not the anti-crime … it is the “anti-immorality” …
So they are going to let a “muslim” group determine the “morality” standards for the City of Miami and give them the ability to conduct “enforcement” ????
South Beach will really love that …
Sharia Law Lite anyone?
This really smacks of Sharia judgment without judge and jury. Expecially the anti-immorality aspects. For instance would homosexuals be subject to immediate public execution by beheading. Anything done by Muslims will be contrary to the democratic process. Or how about making all police force members Irish male with KKK affiliations. Right in someone’s wheel house.
To be a police prescence requires a few minor details; a steady employment history, able to pass a background and security check, and no prior convictions. These clowns would fail each category.
I went to the Nation of Islam’s “Millions More Movement” on the National Mall here in Washington, DC back in 2005. Farrakhan was ranting on about how the government did not serve them so he proposed that the US government allow them to keep their taxes so that they could establish a parallel government to serve black people with duplicate government departments staffed by black people for black people. In other words, he wanted the federal government to fund a rival separatist Farrakhan government.
This NOI Peacemaker program sounds like a stealthy way to establish the NOI government from the bottom up. And it’s worth remembering that Muslims, with their supremacist philosphy of conquering the world for Allah, tend to form parasitic colonies on their host societies in order to take them over.
This really makes the hair on the back of my neck stand-up giving police powers to a religious organization. I guess the Bill of Rights no longer applies to the People’s Republic of Miami.
Where is the #150,000 of tax (MY $$) for the Christian peace-keeping unit??
I’m WAITING!
Oh sure. This’ll work…after all, they use muslims community peace keepers in England…
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2058935/Police-advise-Christian-preachers-to-leave-Muslin-area-of-Birmingham.html
I’m surprisd the FBI doesn’t at least have a modicum of curiosity about this.
ugh, not eating bacon doesn’t make you a muslim.
nor does selling bean pies.
WOW WOW WOW, I bet if Senator Byrd heard about the Government funding this, he’d be rolling in his…….oh wait a minute….never mind.
Now am I’m wrong to say, miami is one of the counties in FL that is almost totally spanish speaking? If these muslims get their hold on these people as they do in prisons, do the two team up? The illegals and the muslims seem to want to un-do our country. We give, they take a mile. These muslims are invading our schools and almost every portion of our country with their ‘we can’t touch that, we can’t put a uniform on, we can’t take a dog in a taxi’. Our tax dollars are paying for this, and it will only get worse under a new bho.

Hold the phone… a separate government for blacks? I’m all for it as long as they live on the taxes they collect from blacks and not one single penny from any non-black.
Sorry… I wasn’t aware my computer was actually working and recording my comment. I thought it was broken.
I suspect this program is going to go very poorly. The stories of corruption and incompetence are surely coming.
..and yes, creeping sharia. Just wait.
The Good Idea Fairy must have been on LSD when he landed on Ed O’Dell’s shoulder.
Actually, it was Tatum O’Neil.
One comment/question on this whole situation:
Why does seperation of church and state seem only to apply to Christians?
NoI? You gotta be kidding.
Those Thugs can’t be trusted to tell the truth or act without bias. Period.
Whoever consented to this should be given a psych eval. Period.
This is the exact equivalent to Deputizing the Taliban. Period.
Charlie Crist needs to put a halt to this mischief quick! It is an invitation to anarchy.
And the ACLU will be coming in to stop this in 100000000000000000,9999999999999999999,
9999999999999999998,9999999999999999997…….
Even as serious as this is —you brought a smile to my face:
#30 John Ansell……
Thank you!
Don’t take for granted that it will be “lite”, DL.
So…. I could have some muslims come up to me on the streets of America and tell me I’m acting immorally? THEY CAN TRY….
#18 I saw Birmingham and thought it was Birmingham, Michigan USA!
Do they get a set of keys to the drone?
WAIT - there is a city in the Detroit area in Michigan that allows “prayers to ALLAH” via loudspeaker.
Now what IS the name of that city?
#32 Southpaw_
They are not going to do it overtly-it will be a “littel at a time” with stealth.
little at a time…
It is becoming abundantly clear that too many politicians have succumbed to the ravages of dhimmentia. This is true at all levels of government. It is true throughout the formerly civilized world. PC and multiculturism have destroyed all traces of common sense in our societies.
The pending Lisbon Treaty being imposed by the EU and the prosecution of Mark Steyn in BC Canada are but two glaring examples.
We can only hope that Farrakhan will be driving the first suicide car bomb.
Here are some links that illustrate the symptoms of dhimmentia.

WAKE UP!!
Not that I would wish to compare Farrakhan to Sliwa (& Guardian Angels are not state funded) BUT years ago I was coming home from work & a group of nice fellows in red berets demanded to inspect my cane (I was recovering from an injury)…and I said “no problem, show me your badge”.
Florida is a concealed carry state as I recall… & nothing good can come of this.
“Where is the #150,000 of tax (MY $$) for the Christian peace-keeping unit??”
Oh boy. A christian immorality patrol. Even scarier.

If they are really considering this, it isn’t EVEN funny!
I want my $$$$ (tax) to go to those avenues that the government is mandated to perform:
police
fire
managing the border/ports
infra-structure
then-lower your voice.
Definitely NOT :
Muslim
Christian
Jewish
or et. al
peace-keeping units!
RE: # 49
The “Peacemakers”, huh? As I recall, one of the nuclear weapons we used to have in our inventory was named “the Peacemaker”. ‘Nuff said…
re: # 49
Most importantly:
our military!
We will NEVER, ever hear those “Stories”. The program will be perfect, no matter what.
Maybe they can get the “reverend” Wright to come out of retirement and become the Chief of Police.
The SA (Brown Shirts) was a group of private citizen who were supposed to be enforcing law and order. The parallels here are striking.
So we’re using the same strategy in Miami that the Brits used in Basra.
We’re going backwards here, folks.
#24 Joy - LOL
I am still laughing about the retarded EmmEffers at Trinity that don’t know when their cameras are working or broken. What a perfect metaphor for this ignorant, incompetant culture.
No wonder blacks that do well in school are thought to be “acting white”.
Hokey Smokes, Bullwinkle! $150,000? How can I get a piece of that action?
Let’s see, a City run by Catholic Hispanics who fled a Communist dictatorship are being policed by Muslim Blacks who wish to establish a Communist dictatorship.. Hmmmmmmmmm..
Using DemoLogic, this would be the ultimate expression of multiculturalism and therefore it’s success would prove the entire Commie/Dem theory.
Using reality as a guide, of course, we all know the real outcome..
Hey! Who said Sharia won’t work here in the U.S.A.?
I’m reminded of a headline from The Onion: “The Fruits of Islam Cause Man to Soil Fruit of the Looms”
Radicals, just doing the policing that Americans wont do.
So the Fruit of Islam is going to patrol the streets in a city with lots of Jewish retirees? Ok, fine with me. Our Jewish citzens vote very much far left liberal and are the most anti-Second Amendment ethnic in the country. Despite their loyalty to the Democratic Party and every leftist cause of the 20th century the Jew is being thrown overboard to curry favor with Black Nationalist and Muslims. Good.
Perhaps now our Jewish citzens will quit the Dark Side (Democrats) and maybe even join their fellows at JEWS FOR THE PRESERVATION
OF FIREARMS OWNERSHIP
Marching in good order to Hitler’s camps really did not do the European Jew much good. Marching in good order to the Left’s schemes is biting them in the butt. Do they think Barack Hussein Obama will treat them any better that Arafat or Eichmann did?
Quit the Dark Side NOW. We need to get some Voter Registars down there right now.
Oh, and before I forget:
see-dubya is a racist islamophobe who does not realize diversity is our strenght and the muslims are never violent.
Just a little PC there to prove I am not a bigot and don’t object to getting my head choped off with a dull knife.
That part alone should be a red flag to the non-muslim population. In Tehran they have a similar police squad that randomly beats women for having their hair showing and in Pakistan they blow up music stores and movie rental stores for being “Immoral”.
This is a bad idea on so many levels.
In the spirit political correctness, and using Miami as a blue print for success, I’ve just inked a contract with the local foxes to guard my hen house…
Now I can relax…
Did you expect any less??
This comes from a state where the voters don’t know how to poke a hole in a voting card.
These ain’t rocket scientists folks.
.
A truly scary thought!
So I guess it’ll just be a coincidence when it turns out that whites, Jews and Catholics are the only ones you’ll apprehend committing crime and immorality!
I agree w/see-dubya in the pulling out of this quote. NoI spokespeople always use this type of rhetoric in public speaking, so I wasn’t surprised to see it. I also have to agree w/see-dub in his assessment of that normal, thinking people will not fall for this, but oh-my-gosh there will be some that do!
and from a state that doesn’t know how to count those holes (or not, as the case may be), and from a place that insisted that the votes be counted over and over.
What’s funny is every time they counted them, it was still Bush that won. Oops; now lgm will have my guts for garters.
Oh Man…they’d be choppin’ heads off in the city square of South Beach!
….not that that’d be a bad idea mind you…
Right. Becuase the Vatican guards routinely stone women to death for showing too much ankle.
