Islamic Center of Irvine - Alleged FBI Spying

Alleged FBI Spying

A convicted con man, Craig Monteilh, of Tustin, CA accused the FBI of running him as a paid informant in the Center from July 2006 to October 2007, and then reneging on its deal with him. He was instructed to attend daily prayers at least three times a day and to attend the Friday Jumuah prayers. His actions made the members of the Muslim community very uncomfortable. A restraining order was later taken out against him.

Famous quotes containing the words alleged, fbi and/or spying:

    “About the alleged condition of the property. Does it have to be intact?”
    —Margaret Forster, British screenwriter, Peter Nichols, and Silvio Narizzano. Georgy (Lynn Redgrave)

    “Has anyone ever told you that you overplay your various roles rather severely, Mr. Kaplan? First you’re the outraged Madison Avenue man who claims he’s been mistaken for someone else. Then you play the fugitive from justice, supposedly trying to clear his name of a crime he knows he didn’t commit. And now you play the peevish lover stung by jealously and betrayal. It seems to me you fellows could stand a little less training from the FBI and a little more from the Actors Studio.”
    —Ernest Lehman (b.1920)

    “My one and noble heart has witnesses
    In all love’s countries, that will watch awake;
    And when blind sleep falls on the spying senses,
    The heart is sensual, though five eyes break.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
