The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), whose officials in the past have been convicted for being associated with Muslim terrorist groups, said it will announce at a news conference Tuesday that it is launching an “education campaign” and will distribute 100,000 copies of the Koran to local, state and national leaders. The books will provide an English translation and commentary.
CAIR said the distribution is prompted by U.S. President Barack Obama’s recent speech in Cairo, in which he said he wants to reach out to Muslims throughout the world. He praised the Muslim community in the U.S, whose values he said incorporate tenets of Islam. President Obama, whose father was a Muslim, quoted the Koran four times in his speech in Cairo and used the word “violence” instead of “terror” in his reference to extremists.
"Through this ground-breaking outreach initiative, we hope not only to educate policy-makers and opinion leaders about Islam, but also to provide an opportunity for American Muslims to reach out to their fellow citizens of other faiths," said CAIR board chairman, North Carolina State Senator Larry Shaw.
However, the New York-based Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has charged that CAIR is a product of the Islamic Association for Palestine, and other media have accused it of promoting militant Muslim views.
CAIR previously has been funded in part by the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, some of whose former officials recently were convicted for funneling money to terrorist groups.

Indeed. But with Republican men becoming wimps in ever greater numbers I'm glad we have some Palins and Coulters. Lots of mild-mannered women are packing heat nowadays and some can handle a variety of long weapons very efficiently.
It seems the only conservatives with any fight in them are
Palin, Coulter, Bachman, Malkin, and Lynn Cheney.
Sad, but true.
There are a very few others, like Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite
Gives new meaning to this old Femi-Nazi boast:
"The best man for this job is a woman."
Feminism has effectively achieved its primary goal - neutering conservative men.
I like the first few chapters - where Big Mo’ talks about how an ‘angel’ squeezed a big steaming pile of Koran out of him.
You mean Obama’s boss! He was bought and paid for by the Saudi’s
“...He was bought and paid for by the Saudi’s.”
The gigantic undereported scandal of our time is the amount of foreign capital that financed Obama and groups like CAIR. Of course all that money would have gone for naught if some of the idiotic Blue States had wised up a bit.
I’m vindictive and would like to grab the typical White person in a state like Iowa that went for the telepromter-in-chief and slam them on voting for Hussein and going along with Saudi Soda money.
...and a chicken in every pot. With political promises, some things never change.
When will he be passing out Bibles to the muslims so they can better understand why we think they've been the victims of false advertising?
