"How convenient."
Another component of CAIR's m.o. If no backlash exists, they manufacture it.
Someone at CAIR must have forgotten to call Dateline so they could have cameras there to film the incident. Someone's head is gonna roll (double meaning intended).
Tawana Brawley alert!
Muslims have been due for a backlash since at least 1979.
The ass kickings they're receiving in Afghanistan and Iraq?
A start.
I am SICK and DAMNED tired of this "backlash" crap these people are complaining about.
I want to see concrete examples. Americans haven't burned down mosques, attacked people of middle east appearance, or been parading signs around saying muslims should be deported/jailed/harmed/hassled.
We didn't do that stuff after 9/11, which says a lot about the USA, as opposed to some idiots who go on rampages over cartoons, beauty pageants and press statements.
This stuff just makes me sick. If muslims are annoyed and distressed that their religion has been "hijacked" by these islamofacist extremists, then they need to root them out of their midst instead of looking the other way or passively or actively supporting them.
And you DON'T do that by making statements like "9/11 was terrrible and we don't support it BUT..."
To paraphrase the immortal words of the lady in the Burger King commercial:
IMO, if a member of CAIR really were offended, the couple would be dead.
Those NASCAR fans are at it again!
If those lying terrorists at CAIR told me my own name, I wouldn't believe them. I doubt this happened, but if it did, I say good on that couple. We need to get mad again. We need to wake up.
"So? For now, this is still America and citizens can speak their mind."
*BUZZ* Wrong answer. As our freedoms are eroded, that one has long since gone by the boards. You are no longer free to say whatever you choose. There are plenty of hate speech, disturbing the peace, assualt type laws that will put you behind bars fast.
That's Wendy's. Not Burger King.
How convenient! A director of CAIR just happened to be outside the movie theatre. Do you suppose they were attempting to distribute their literature or invoke a response from movie goers? That is not mentioned in the article. But somehow things don't completely add up that they are innocent.
What bothers me the most is the not one prominent Muslim-American Group or Individual stood up and publically condemned the attacks after September 11th stating that to in some way, shape or form, they were "Americans First", "Loved this Country" etc. and that these attacks were the cold blooded murder of innocent citizens.
I know its over-generalizing and even outright racist but I do believe that the vast majority of American Muslims (especially their Leadership) condone the attacks and privately support Al Quaeda and its agenda.
And just how many Muslims were injured or killed as a result of all that "anti-Muslim anger"?
More like 1453 when they sacked Constantipole and desacrated one of the most beautiful churches in the world.
Of course, if you said that to a Muslim or a leftist, they would bring up Timothy McVeigh. I reply "Okay, I'll give you that one non-Muslim terrorist in the last 20 years if you will acknowledge the thousands of Muslim terrorists."
I won't hold my breath waiting for any of them to do it.
The nonsense coming out of CAIR angers me so much, it's such an obvious double standard. The arab world, in the voice of CAIR, has an enormously overdeveloped sense of entitlement and ego, in that they expect and come just short of demanding that their feelings NEVER get hurt, and we barbarians should NEVER dare to criticize their members.
What do they expect, for us to just sweep the whole matter under the rug until some imagined time in the future when there will be no anger? Just so we spare THEIR feelings?
The ego involved here is outrageous.
Until CAIR starts supporting cleaning up their own nest, by shutting down the schools where the hatred and terrorists are bred, and being honest and truthful about the members of THEIR society and religion who cause so much pain and choas in the world, then I might pay attention.
