Truck driving school giving CDL's to Islamics

In summary, the truck driving school in Missouri was giving training and helping to provide commercial drivers licenses to people with fake ID's. Of those who obtained licenses, there was a large number of Middle eastern names. We are talking 18 wheelers and tanker trucks here. This link has a good video clip.

The NSA is spending $50 billion per year on information gathering and they apparently missed this. The FBI only stopped it recently.

A truck driving school in Missouri, a school run by the public school system no less, was giving training and helping to provide commercial drivers licenses to people with fake ID's. Of those who obtained licenses, there was a large number of Middle eastern names. We are talking 18 wheelers and tanker trucks here.

We have to do better than this, many of those who were given licenses are long gone from the area. (according to my local news last night.)

About 520 people who did not train at the school took the test there from May 2004 through December 2005. More than 300 of them, or about 60 percent, had names that could be Middle Eastern in origin.

"They're just names that you would question as to how come there were so many people of those origins, because in the area we don't have that many Middle Eastern people," Eslinger said. Records obtained from the school by The Associated Press under Missouri's open records law showed a high percentage of surnames such as Ali, Fatah, Mohamed and Yusuf.

i) Do you have real links? Personal pages and newsmax don't cut it for me.

ii) Do you have something more substantial than racial profiling and paranoia?

iii) Where is the $50 billion budget figure from? Even if it seems quite reasonable, I must assume you just made it up since NSA's budgets are classified. Yet you present it as fact.

Thread closed.

Edward, the first problem is the title which insinuates that anyone of the Islamic faith is to be suspected of terrorism.

The second is that you are assuming, without evidence, that the people in question belonged to the Islamic faith.

You are also assuming the NSA has no knowledge of this event.

This just doesn't meet the criteria for a valid, unprejudiced discussion.
 

1. What is a CDL and why is it important for truck driving?

A CDL, or commercial driver's license, is a specialized license required for individuals to operate large trucks and vehicles for commercial purposes. It is important because it ensures that drivers have the necessary skills and knowledge to safely operate these vehicles on the road.

2. Are there any specific requirements for Islamics to obtain a CDL from a truck driving school?

No, the requirements for obtaining a CDL from a truck driving school are the same for all individuals regardless of their religion. These requirements typically include passing a written knowledge test, a skills test, and meeting specific age and medical requirements.

3. How does a truck driving school determine the eligibility of an Islamic to obtain a CDL?

Truck driving schools typically do not discriminate based on religion when determining eligibility for a CDL. As long as the individual meets the necessary requirements and has the skills and knowledge to safely operate a truck, they can obtain a CDL.

4. Are there any cultural or religious considerations for Islamics in truck driving school?

Truck driving schools should provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for all students, regardless of their cultural or religious background. It is important for schools to accommodate any religious practices or dietary restrictions that may be necessary for Islamic students.

5. Are there any potential challenges for Islamics in the truck driving industry?

Like any industry, there may be challenges for individuals of different religions, cultures, or backgrounds. However, the truck driving industry is diverse and inclusive, and as long as an individual meets the necessary requirements and has the skills to safely operate a truck, they should be able to find success in the field.
