(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.”…
They’re just killing the Americans that Americans are unwilling to kill themselves.
California has submitted.
Allah is pleased.
Submit or die.
They chose submission.

California’s communist dominated legislature has submitted. Most of us in California have not, and will not. GO TRUMP!!
Ask NASA.
I guess you are right — I was thinking of 1st in that it would deny govt expressing favor for any religion (not just a law)— but then I started thinking about Christmas and that favors a religion nationally — and now I’m getting into an area I don’t want to go.
I’m a Californian and don’t like this guy passing a resolution for Me. It just don’t sound right, does it.
Soon to be followed by Nazi Appreciation Month, Mao Day, and the Stalin-All-You-Can-Eat Buffet!
Parade to be held in San Bernardino.
I appreciate that eight out of ten want to cut my head off.
I feel for you
I’m in Illinois and Rauner is talking about making this orgnazation official. I’m guessing he’ll sign the bill.
we are so hosed
What a #’d up state.
I remember lining up for mandatory polio shots back in the 50s. Soon we’ll be lining up for mandatory prayer rugs, korans, burqas, hijabs and sandals - courtesy of CAIR and Obama/Hillary.
What a joke. But it wasn’t meant as a joke. It’s a subtle signal that we are expected to give a warm welcome to our replacements, before they slit our throat, that is.
Islam sucks. Why do we celebrate these inbred barbarians?
Is this the same California that expects me to care when they have wild fires because they don’t allow brush to be trimmed?
Is this the same California that expect me to cry after their mud slide because the brush all burnt and then they got a little rain?
Is this the same California that shut down all their carbon free nuke generators and now will have electric service interruptions?
Sorry, I am all out of give a shit about California. They made their bed.
Call me when they fall off into the Pacific, first beer is on me.
I’m not so worried after looking into this more. The Legislature has been on summer recess for the month of July. They return on Monday Aug 1.
So, I think this is just a Resolution to be presented to the membership for their vote. Has to be passed by both houses but not signed by Governor. PLUS this is a CAIR press release so it only tells their side of the story. We’ll see on Monday I guess.
Laz, that is brilliant.
Every month should be Mohammadan Awareness Month.
California, with all its absolutely INSANE suicidal libtards, can fall into the sea and rid us of the drag on the rest of the United States. I don’t know if it’s something in the water, or all the dope they smoke there, or what, but they are crazy, nuts, bent on killing themselves and their children. Screw the Muzzlimes. Get rid of them. They are a clear and present danger to us all.
