Arab-American and Muslim groups deplored on Friday the Federal Bureau of Investigation's use of training material that characterized the prophet Muhammad as a "cult leader" and linked Muslims' religious devotion to a potential for violence.
"It's really troubling," said Abed Ayoub, the legal director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.
Mr. Ayoub said the use of the material in counterterrorism training — first reported in a blog post on Wired.com — was only one of numerous cases in which training materials for law enforcement agencies have portrayed Islam or Arabs in a negative light.
