FBI informant encouraged violent jihad – Muslims turn him in
FBI informant, a convicted forger named Craig Monteilh, donned a white Islamic robe. A tiny camera was sewn into a button, and a microphone was buried in a device attached to his keys. He then drove off for 5 a.m. prayers at the Islamic Center of Irvine, in southern California, where he says he spied on dozens of worshipers in a quest for potential terrorists.
But Monteilh’s mission as an informant backfired. Muslims were so alarmed by his talk of violent jihad that they obtained a restraining order against him.
Monteilh has gone public, revealing secret FBI methods and charging that his “handlers” trained him to entrap Muslims as he infiltrated their mosques, homes and businesses. He is now suing the FBI.
Officials declined to comment on specific details of Monteilh’s tale but confirm that he was a paid FBI informant. Court records and interviews corroborate not only that Monteilh worked for the FBI – he says he made $177,000, tax-free, in 15 months.
Oh what a tangled web we weave . . .

What an excellent post!! Hadn’t heard a word on this one. The spider web seems to be quite the appropriate picture.
The Walter Scott quote fits too.
So as it turns out, not all Muslims are terrorists?
Interesting read–thanks,Holte!
Not all Muslims are, but some FBI agents are.
Great catch Holte!
Yeah.
What? There aren’t enough terrorist already, so the FBI is inventing more of them.
Sure seems like it Bill, your tax dollars at work.
