FLORIDA REPUBLICAN ATTACKED BY MUSLIM GROUP

Hasner shrugs off CAIR slam

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling on House Majority Leader Adam Hasner to disassociate himself from a "free speech summit" he's helping host that features, among others, a controversial Dutch politician, Geert Wilders, often criticized for extremism and being anti-Islam. Wilders has likened the Koran to Mein Kampf.

“If Rep. Hasner truly wishes to represent Florida’s diverse religious and ethnic population, he should immediately disassociate himself and the state Legislature from this motley collection of Islamophobes and Muslim-bashers,” CAIR-South Florida Executive Director Altaf Ali said of Wilders and others involved in the event.

Hasner brushed off the CAIR criticism: "These are the same people who have been attacking me all session. This isn't about being anti-Islam, this is all about the right to free speech and they are trying to stifle it."

CAIR and many other Muslim groups are unclear on the concept of free speech, and they want to impose their lack of clarity on the rest of us.

How dare they come to this country and try to tell us what we may or may not say? If they want to live like that, they should return to their ancestral Islamic hell holes, where free speech is unheard of.

“often criticized for extremism and being anti-Islam.”

As a system of law and governance, Islamic theocracy should be challenged. This nation has a founding principle in a freedom of religion. The death cult does not see others as equals and does not permit the world’s 1 billion muslims to convert away from the faith.

Islamists are now using their power within the UN to silence criticism and mockery of Islam. No other faiths have ever been afforded such protection by the United Nations.

The UN also does not push for religious freedoms in the Islamic head State, Saudi Arabia (which prohibits all other religious traditions and texts).

The hell with the Muslims. They have never contributed to American society, nor our culture, nor our freedoms or liberties. If it were not for Obama and the MSM, Americans would realize that these Muslims are a huge danger to our nation.

Selling History

        Those who control the past, control the future
        and those who control the present control the past.

       --Georg Orwell


Better get the word to the boss man
A wire from the industry spy
Tell him that they’re over the border
Trying out the White House for size

The selling of America
Is going on now town by town
The selling of America
You better keep it underground

--Big Country, The Selling of America

So how did this CAIR chapter protest when word got out that the September 11 hijackers trained in their part of Florida? Hey, I can’t hear them over the crickets.
