To be honest when I read this I was shocked that they even had this training to begin with. I figured they were already PC enough under Obama not to have this type of training.

FBI Removes Training That Islam Is A Violent Religion
Posted by markedmannerNYC: Strong Counterterrorism Effort
Posted by markedmannerThis probably has alot to do with why we have not seem an attack in New York since 9/11. Other cities should adopt the New York model. Read it all from Daniel Pipes:
U.S. law enforcement agencies have generally responded to 9/11 with a pretend counterterrorism policy. They still insist that naming the enemy as Islamism causes terrorism, that Islamist violence poses no more threat than that of neo-Nazis, racial supremacists, et al., and that counterterrorism primarily involves feel-good measures such as improving civil rights, passing anti-discrimination laws, and displaying goodwill to Islamists.
And then there is the New York Police Department, an institution uniquely spurred by 9/11 to abandon its former laxity and get serious. The force that had mishandled prior terrorist incidents (e.g., the assassination of Meir Kahane) quickly transformed itself into an outstanding counterterrorist agency under the remarkable leadership of Raymond Kelly. (Andrew McCarthy calls him a "godsend"). Unlike other law enforcement institutions, NYPD names the enemy, acknowledges the predominant threat of Islamist violence, and built a robust intelligence operation.
The public saw first hints of these changes in 2006, in the course of the Shahawar Matin Siraj trial. The government convicted Siraj, an illegal Pakistani immigrant planning to blow up a subway station, on the basis of information from two NYPD Muslim spies: a paid police informant, Osama Eldawoody, and a pseudonymous undercover detective, "Kamil Pasha." The latter testified about his serving as a "walking camera" among Muslims living in Brooklyn, to "observe, be the ears and eyes" for the NYPD.
Christopher Dickey provided the fullest picture of the department's achievements in a 2009 book, Securing the City: Inside America's Best Counterterror Force--The NYPD. Now, just in time for the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the Associated Press published a series of breathless investigations by Adam Goldman on the department's methods, focusing on NYPD cooperation with the Central Intelligence Agency, thereby bringing the department under intense political scrutiny.
Goldman reports that the department dispatched officers to Pakistani neighborhoods and "instructed them to look for reasons to stop cars: speeding, broken tail lights, running stop signs, whatever. The traffic stop gave police an opportunity to search for outstanding warrants or look for suspicious behavior. An arrest could be the leverage the police needed to persuade someone to become an informant." NYPD established the Terrorist Interdiction Unit to handle these informants, including "mosque crawlers," "café crawlers," shopkeepers, and nosy neighbors.
