BARF!: FBI Agent Keeps Muslim Prayer Rug in Office To Impress Muslims
By Debbie Schlussel
The guy pictured below in the tie-less bad Don Johnson/”Miami Vice” look from the ’80s is Drew Parenti, FBI Special Agent in Charge of Sacramento.
But this brown-nosing uber-panderer isn’t auditioning for the role of Crockett or Tubbs (either of whom frankly would be more competent at dealing with the enemy). No, he doesn’t have a tie on because Muslims–the most extreme among them–don’t respect ties. It’s Western garb, and they want the world to know, Ahmadinejad-style, that they reject all things western. So congrats, Agent Parenti, you’re now a graduate of the Islamist School of Barbaric Fashion.
And if pandering at an Al-Qaeda fundraising mosque isn’t enough, Special Agent Parenti keeps a Muslim prayer mat in his office to impress Muslims. Awww, isn’t that special. If it were the 1930s, I suppose he’d keep SS paraphernalia in his office. Or maybe a special “Jewish leather” lampshade:
For months, Sacramento’s top FBI agent kept a Muslim prayer rug in his office.
It was for Imam Mohamed Abdul Azeez, religious leader of the SALAM Islamic Center in Sacramento, who attended a citizens’ academy with Drew Parenti at the FBI office.
Parenti hasn’t converted to Islam. He’s been trying to convert Muslim leaders who might be suspicious of his agency after 9/11 and the Lodi terrorism case.
And, after years of distrust, Azeez and other local Muslims believe they have found a friend in Parenti.
Translation: “Friend” in this case means “useful idiot.”
The local FBI chief has visited several of the area’s 14 mosques, ready to answer tough questions. He also has recruited an Egyptian Muslim agent who is known to the community and worships regularly at SALAM (Sacramento Area League of Associated Muslims) and other local mosques.
Local FBI agents and Muslim American leaders now come together “through friendship and partnership, not eavesdropping,” Azeez said.
Oh, goody. I feel so much safer now.
Two months after he arrived in Sacramento, Parenti recalled, he was intrigued by a newspaper headline, “New-Wave Imams,” featuring Azeez, who had just become imam at SALAM.
“I realized I did not know much about Islam,” he said.
Um, you still don’t know much about Islam, brother.
Parenti said the FBI understands “the overwhelming majority” of Muslims “want the same things we all want – they want safety for themselves, for their family.
“They want the freedom to express their views and pursue their faith without fear of retribution or harassment,” Parenti added. “There’s the same exact sense of shared American values that everybody else has.”
Well, he got part of it right. They do want safety and freedom of religion and expression for themselves and their families, just not for us. That’s not the “sense of shared American values that everybody else has,” buddy.
Note who the FBI picks for this task. A guy with no knowledge of Islam, whose expertise is drug-trafficking in Mexico. Yup, that’s the guy you want “outreaching” to Muslims . . . if you’re a Muslim.
Parenti, a graduate of California State University, San Diego, with a degree in Spanish, is a 24-year FBI veteran. He once supervised the anti-drug trafficking program in Mexico City.
They got the tabula rasa they wanted in this sycophantic ignoramus.
J. Edgar Hoover is turning over in his bra.
LOL: ” J. Edgar Hoover is turning over in his bra”
Although if you’re gonna use lines like that, you’ll need to preface the article with the following warning:
“Parenti Guidance Is Preferred!”
