So Much For Wacky: NYPD Lies (Again) About Its Anti-Muslim Propaganda
Thanks to NYU's Brennan Center for Justice, the NYPD has been caught in a whole mess of lies about their "training" officers using The Third Jihad, a vicious film that presents images of killings, car bombs and executed children as "the true agenda of much of Islam in America...This is the war you don’t know about." When the Village Voice broke the story last year, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne dismissed it as a "wacky movie" mistakenly shown "a couple of times" - even though NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly actually appears in it. Now internal police documents obtained by the Brennan Center under the Freedom of Information Act show the film was shown "on a continuous loop" for up to a year to almost 1,500 police officers. This sure will help their already-strained relations with the Muslim community - not to mention any of the rest of us not crazy about lies, virulent racism, self-defeating mindsets and more lies.

Show AllI'd like to see more about the true agenda of the NYPD and like agencies on film.
The Nazi's portrayed the Jews as rats, etc. Now it seems someone needs a new set of "Jews". Same scapegoating, different millennium.
The irony is that much of this anti-Muslim propaganda is put out by Zionist Jews (cf. http://mondoweiss.net/2011/04/why-zionists-promote-anti-muslim-law-enforcement-trainings.html).
Were they training in Arizona?
Thank you Brennan Center and Common Dreams for making sure all this is out there!
How can you tell when the NYPD is lying?
Their lips move.
Lions and Tigers and Muslims... oh MY!!
Yawn!! well I guess you'd be happy with "Shiria Law" try it and get back to us.. >^^<
RC, what an utterly stupid 'Appeal to Ignorance' fallacy. Could you maybe follow up that binary false dilemma with a "if you are not for us then you support the terrorists" -just for good measure?
So much effort to promote and maintain an illusion
Shown in a "continuous loop"? Did Ray Kelly get residuals for each showing? No wonder NYPD officers seem to be impaired. Such indocrination can't be good for anyone's mental status.
I notice there is no serious media exposure about who created this video, more aptly understood as "The Protocols of the Elders of Mecca."
Good to see the NYPD is being educated about this ridiculous fairytale from arabia.
Who has the most to fear from Muslims? Most Common Dreamers already know the answer.
New Yorkers are wondering if the accusation of rape against Kelly's son was taken up by the District Attorney only when it was discovered that the woman was not a Muslim.
Abby gal! What happened to the video mess? I can't get it on my computer.
Also I wouldn't let young impressionable innocent children see such anti social, Neanderthal mind set madness. It could defeat every decent thing any good parent even many of European extraction try to teach their children. "Somehow this madness must cease. We must stop now" as Martin Luther King Jr said. Dr King kept at it seeking a better life for us all. That's the spirit and that of Henry Wallace in which we must move. As a proud "Communist loving," Tommy Sheridan north of UK border Scottish oriented Trotskite, I say stand with Thomoas Jefferson, Karl Marx, Sitting Bull, and Che Gueverra. "This is a fight between a free world of (Marx, Jefferson, Che, King, and all the rest) and the slave world of the (owner Neanderthals)." as Wallace would have put it. Where is Frank Capra when we need him? No more owners! No more servants! God bless David Erdal, Sheridan and all those good old north of the UK border folks.
