"KERNERSVILLE, N.C. (AP) — The FBI says it's looking into reports of death threats made against Muslims during a meeting of conservative activists in North Carolina.
Local news outlets report Monday the Council on American-Islamic Relations asked federal authorities to look into a meeting last week in Kernersville where a group listened to a guest speaker talk about the Muslim Brotherhood.
In audio posted on alternative newspaper Triad City Beat's website, someone says, "Any recommendations on how we can stop this? Because my only recommendation is to start killing the hell out of them."
The comment follows a conversation about Muslims who the speaker suggests are trying to take over the United States.

In a statement provided to news outlets, the FBI said it's tracking down the meeting's participants to gauge the severity of potential threats"

5. Half of the FBI probably agree with the racists and the

other half will do what all cops routinely do; stand by and do nothing as atrocities are committed by their more doctrinaore brethren.

In Trumpland we will no longer be able to depend on the government to protect us and our rights. We will have to instead form committees of correspondence and self-defense.

2. What they said at that meeting over genocide of Muslims: We're not there *yet*

3. Del Valle

whose Facebook page shows he’s a Latin musician and former federal employee, said he’d watched his native Cuba fall to the communists and wasn’t willing to see the same thing happen in the U.S.

Cuba has not sent us their best, for reference: Rubio and Cruz

4. They are protected because they are Trump's base:

‘Trump is setting us free:’ White supremacists celebrate reports that Trump will dial down scrutiny:
“This is absolutely a signal of favor to us.”

On Thursday, internet racists celebrated another perceived victory: Reports that President Trump will soon remove white nationalist groups from a federal effort to study and neutralize extremist radicalization, and rebrand the program to focus solely on groups associating themselves with Islam.

The Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) program partners government agencies with community organizations in hopes of preventing people from being radicalized into various types of terror and hate groups. Its primary focus has always been in Muslim communities, but the Obama administration designed it to also encompass the American far-right groups that propagandize to people like Dylann Roof.

News of Trump’s plan to reverse that symbolic recognition of right-wing threats prompted a wave of celebration in white nationalist circles.

Another neo-Nazi site that associates itself with the so-called “alt-right,” Infostormer, celebrated the news and took it as a sign of support. “We may truly have underestimated President Trump’s covert support of our Cause (at least in some form), but after this proposal, I am fully ready to offer myself in service of this glorious regime” the post reads.

6. The FBI is totally fucked and compromised.

I don't trust them to do anything good for this country
or its people.

7. Right Wing Authoritarian Terrorists are terrifying muslims more than muslims terrifying christians.
