FBI Purges Hundreds of Terrorism Documents in Islamophobia Probe

An internal FBI investigation into its counterterrorism training has purged over 700 pages of bureau documents of instructional material about Muslims, some of which characterized them as prone to violence or terrorism. The FBI purged documents according to four criteria: “factual errors”; “poor taste”; employment of “stereotypes” about Arabs or Muslims; or presenting information that “lacked precision.”
