SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, is taking steps to combat a rising trend of Muslim discrimination on both a national and local scale.
The civil rights group reports Bay Area complaints more than doubled from 2005 to 2006, from 113 to 246. The numbers reflect a national increase in cases of anti-Muslim bias, especially in the wake of the failed British car bomb plots.
"We're seeing the Muslim community being affected in a disproportionate way,” said CAIR’s Abiya Ahmed. “We're not alleging that it's due to discrimination. It could very well be just a bureaucratical issue, but these people are essentially from Arab countries, from south Asian countries, so that's something we've noticed in our reports."
The top complaint to the Santa Clara office is citizenship delay in the naturalization process. Other complaints include issues with due process, verbal harassment, and hate mail. Nonetheless, Ahmed said the bay area is tolerant compared to the rest of the country.
But doing nothing about the rising tide of Muslim’s decapitating.
WOULD the REAL CAIR leader please STAND...and denounce JIHAD, condeming in Arabic on Al Jareeza TV these atrocious, Satanic and unlovely deeds that are done in the NAME of Allah. PLEEEEEZE.. and maybe we can take CAIR seriously.
It's that we will NEVER FORGET
BUMP!
Great Photoshop job, and closer to the truth than most people realize, having gone through that a few weeks ago...
I don’t even read CAIR charges any more. Ninety percent of their “incidents” are some maggot complaing that someone “looked at him funny”...
Anyone detected a rising tide of anti-Hindu, anti-Shinto, anti-Budhist, or anti-[any other religion] in the United States?
And is CAIR doing anything to stop the rising tide of anti-human activities of Islamofacists?
More lawsuits ought to do the trick to make everyone love them.
Dang, that's the good news. Where's the bad?
When oh when is some interviewer ask the CAIR representative about how much tolerance exists for non-Muslims in Muslim countries? I repeat, when I see some freedom, tolerance, and human rights reign in a Muslim country, then I will believe they are ready to join the 21st century world.
Why are we letting them come here? That question is far more important than anything that happens in the Middle East. We are welcoming those who seek to destroy us.
Well, shoot. The poor muzzies have it so hard here. I think that they should go back to their wonderful digs in their wonderful country’s of birth.
You know, I’m amazed. You think some of CAIR’s rants, raves, lawsuits, protests, demonstrations and other various railings would be directed at MUSLIM TERRORISTS.
I’ve heard these people spend more time, money and energy condemning Americans than condemning al Quada.

Me biased towards them smelly rugriders? Never!
They’re complaining about Muslim discrimination? Muslims don’t discriminate; they kill anybody. However, all non-Muslims need to be very discriminating. Notice the Muslims. Watch their actions. Notice if they act threatening. We all need to be very alert and exceptionally discriminating.
