Terrorist Linked CAIR Hack Compares ISIS to Fox News

Executive Director of a Florida Council on Islamic Relations [CAIR] office, Hassan Shilby, took to Twitter last week to rant about how ISIS and Fox News are pretty much the same thing. 

#FoxNews and ISIS have something in common: they don't tolerate anything different & their rhetoric invites calls for violence @megynkelly— Hassan Shibly (@HassanShibly) September 12, 2014

#FoxNews claims Islam & Muslims are a threat yet the ones making death threats in America and calling for violence appear to be Fox viewers— Hassan Shibly (@HassanShibly) September 14, 2014

ISIS is beheading people and has slaughtered thousands but sure, lets compare them to America's most successful news outlet. If Fox News is so "intolerant" then why does the network, producers and its hosts regularly invite CAIR representatives on air to give their point of view?

As a reminder, CAIR has a history of supporting terrorist groups like Hamas, was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation investigation (which eventually led to five "charity" members being convicted for sending $12 million in funding to Hamas) and regularly tells Muslim-American communities not to speak to or help the FBI during counter terrorism investigations.

To make matters worse, President Obama seems to be taking the advise of the radical Islamic group on national security and how we define terrorism.

In his speech last week about ISIS, Obama said ISIS is "not Islamic" and is not a state. Before the speech, CNSNews reported that is was CAIR who wanted him to make that distinction. 

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) wants President Obama in his speech on ISIS Wednesday night to reject the jihadists’ “misappro-priation of Islamic terms and concepts,” and to recognize that the terrorist group was created by “the lack of freedom and justice in the region.”

Obama is lost all credibility with name calling terms on ISIS

Even from most of his supporters

I think Fox News can sue for that kind of slander.

Where in the Koran does allah mention respect & tolerance of non-believers as equals to believers? As for proud tradition... it’s meaningless hype!

If this puke had ever gotten laid by any girl other than his nine-year-old wife, he might have a different outlook on life. But maybe it's a chicken-and-egg question: he joined islam because he couldn't get laid, or he couldn't get laid because he joined islam.

Always being on the attack is a very effective Alinsky tactic.

Like Reagan said.. (see my tagline)

BEHEADING IS THE TRADITIONAL M.O. UNDER ISLAM..

THE CONQUEST OF CYPRUS AND THE HEROES AND MARTYRS OF FAMAGUSTA

The Turks came on with 70,000 men, including their shock troops, the praetorian guard of the sultan, the Janissaries — Christian youths taken as taxation from their families, trained up in the art of war, converted to Islam, and given the power of the sword and the possibility of advancement.

The Catholic defenders of Cyprus were frightfully outnumbered — by about 7 to 1 — but then again, the Knights of Malta had faced even stiffer odds. The two key points in Cyprus were Nicosia and Famagusta. The city of Nicosia held out for nearly seven weeks. Finally, reduced to 500 soldiers, it surrendered, expecting the civilians to be spared, even as the Christian troops were enslaved.

Instead, the Muslim attackers butchered every Christian they could find — 20,000 victims, murdered regardless of rank, sex, or age, save perhaps for 1,000 women and children who would be sold as slaves. The Muslims knew something about commerce, too, and those with an eye for harem-flesh tried to spare the most valuable Europeans.

That left the former Crusader fortress of Famagusta as the only defensible point on the island. Inspired by the Turks’ display of severed Venetian heads from Nicosia, the Christian soldiers put up a stiff defense and were at one point resupplied by gallant Venetian sailors.

The Muslim Ottomans have conquered Cyprus, an Island that belonged to the Republic of Venice, but the second most important city, Famagusta, resisted the brutal siege by the Turks. Men, women and children fought valiantly.

In August 1571, after ten months of resistance, the Venetian commander Marco Antonio Bragadino, forced by hunger, enter negotiations with the Turks. Terms were agreed: The garrison would be exiled, the people spared. The troops were disarmed and boarded transports — and then they and their commanders were slaughtered. But for Marco Antonio, the Mohammedans reserved a special torture. He was not killed immediately. Instead, his nose and ears were severed, and, as T. C. F. Hopkins has it in Confrontation at Lepanto:

He was pilloried in Famagusta and dragged around the Ottoman camp in nothing but a loincloth and a donkey’s saddle and made to kiss the ground in front of Lala Mustapha’s tent. The Ottoman soldiers were encouraged to throw garbage and excrement on him, and to mock his misery, and to pull hairs from his beard . . . Lala Mustapha himself came out to spit on the Venetian and to empty his chamber pot over the old man’s head . . .

And even that was not the end of it. Marco Antonio — still, for the moment, alive — was flayed, skinned like a trophy, and then his corpse was stuffed and sent to the sultan, who had the prize stored in a warehouse of other human trophies — a slave prison.
