FBI removes hundreds of training documents after probe on treatment of Islam

Published February 21, 2012 | FoxNews.com

The FBI has removed hundreds of counterterrorism training documents after a months-long review found inaccuracies and other problems in their description of Muslims.

The review was triggered after a September blog in Wired magazine revealed training documents that reportedly called the Prophet Muhammad a "cult leader," claimed "devout" Muslims have been generally violent for hundreds of years and made other controversial statements.

The FBI did not get into details about which documents were taken out, but a law enforcement source confirmed to Fox News on Tuesday that hundreds were removed because they were deemed "not consistent with the highest professional standards and the FBI's core values."

The pages which were removed fell into at least one of four categories -- "poor taste," using Arab or Muslim "stereotypes," information missing "precision," and "factual errors."
