(SACRAMENTO, CA) – On Monday, August 1, the California chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR-CA) will join Assemblymember Bill Quirk (D-Hayward) in the presentation of House Resolution 59, which recognizes the month of August 2016 as “Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month.”
WHAT: Presentation of HR 59, to Recognize August 2016 as “Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month WHEN: Program begins at 11:30 a.m.; Resolution Presentation, 1 p.m. WHERE: Program – Capitol Room 2163; Resolution Presentation – Assembly Floor CONTACT: CAIR-Sacramento Valley Programs Consultant Maheen Ahmed, 916.605.6099 mahmed@sacval.cair.com; CAIR-Sacramento Valley Executive Director Basim Elkarra, 916.441.6269 belkarra@cair.com
“I am proud to celebrate the first ever Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month by honoring generations of Muslim Americans for their many social, cultural, and economic contributions to California,” Assemblymember Quirk stated. “The rhetoric surrounding this election makes the presentation of this resolution more important for me,” he said. “It is appropriate to acknowledge and promote awareness of the myriad invaluable contributions of Muslim Americans in California and across the country, and extend to them the respect and camaraderie every American deserves.”
CAIR-CA’s recently-released Civil Rights Report indicates that bias incidents spiked by 58 percent between 2014 and 2015, which is attributed to public hostility generated by international acts of violence and hateful rhetoric utilized by candidates since the start of the election cycle.
A total of 1,556 incidents were reported to CAIR-California over the course of the 2015-year. These included complaints involving: employment discrimination, federal law enforcement questioning, housing discrimination, immigration issues, hate crimes, school bullying, and several categories.
“During these difficult times of increased anti-Muslim rhetoric and hate incidents, Assemblymember Quirk’s resolution and recognition of Muslim Americans is uplifting for our community and immensely appreciated,” said CAIR-Sacramento Valley Executive Director Basim Elkarra. “It is truly a historic moment for all Californians.”…
Does Quirk know or care about any of that?
Meanwhile, when do the families of the victims of jihad get their moment in the sun? When is Victims of Jihad Appreciation and Awareness Month?
And will there be special celebrations of Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month in San Bernardino?"
Disgusting. An insult to the victims.
I agree with Muslim awareness month
Just moozlums being good moozlums...murdering the innocent.
Sounds like a good month for Jihadist deeds in Californistan.
Where will the CA evacuees go?
Chappaqua would be fitting...along with Barry’s neighborhood, wherever that is!
California has submitted.
Allah is pleased.
Submit or die.
They chose submission.
What have they done to warrant this? Appreciate what? Appreciate what are supposed to be “good” Muslims because they have no vocal chords to speak out against what is happening in the name of their religion. I see absolutely nothing to warrant such action.
If you can find some dog Mitt or pig Mitt, it's more better.:)
Isn’t this Unconstitutional?
I think we should ‘appreciate’ them all.. the lot of them. Real good.
Destroy islam
“What we have are the ayatollahs are our friends," said Quirk. "The ayatollahs have felt it is immoral to have nuclear weapons, or for that matter, chemical weapons. So they have the balance of power. We want an agreement that solidifies that balance of power because there is no way to stop them. If they want to, they have the capability. They can do it anytime.”
Got that? The Ayatollahs are our friends.
“...their many social, cultural, and economic contributions to California,”
Name ONE. Just one! That’s all I ask of those who make such idiotic broad statements that we are supposed to accept on face value. Obamao is the champion at such sweeping straw-man generalities.
depends what’s in the California Constitution
I would have liked to have had more warning.
Dhimmitude on steroids.
Like slaves declaring a “slave owner appreciation month”, or jews declaring a “Nazi appreciation month”.
Utterly insane.
One of the commentators in Comments says:
Yes, we must be aware of them to avoid being killed.
But I’m not gonna Appreciate them (or invite them over for dinner).
