All one needs to know about the Muslims behind CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, is that when they have the opportunity to defend America to terrorists, they always fail. And when they have the opportunity to defend terror tactics, personalities and doctrine vs. America, they always succeed.
Let me be even plainer. If CAIR has the chance to take the side of Islam's jihadist doctrine vs. American security and welfare, they always side against America.
In fact, the only place where CAIR puts America first is in its name. It's a stupid ploy they believe will sucker us into thinking that they prefer America to radical jihad, but alas their many betrayals and even eagerness to jump to the defense of terrorists sort of betray their intentions.
They also bellyache a lot.
And recently they have done so way too much.
CAIR hyperventilates if the president uses the term Islamofacism, but they appear to take deep breaths of satisfaction whenever another Western target takes a hit.
OK, so I confess I've never seen them take "satisfaction" in such activities, but I do notice that such events also coincide with their sudden disappearance from news media. No condemnation of the terror tactics, no renunciation of the terrorists who executed the attack – instead, all you hear coming from the CAIR offices is the sound of meadow crickets.
They also end up looking either willfully deceptive or woefully ignorant.
Remember when the six imams praised Saddam and Osama, loudly, in the terminal and as they boarded their plane? Remember that they changed seats once on board, chanted to Allah and asked for seat belt extensions for 180-pound men? Do you also remember how Ibrahim Hooper – from CAIR – reassured all that these six Islamic scholars could never even conceive of terror, much less practice it? Oh yeah, remember how the one who had chanted loudest was shortly discovered to have worked for terror groups, even Osama himself?
Now they wish to make a federal case against Northwest Airlines for 40 Muslims who missed the one-hour check-in and thus missed their connecting flight home. CAIR wishes to blast the airline as anti-Muslim even though some of the passengers were able to make the flight, and even though Northwest did all they could to put the rest on the next available flight. Nonetheless, CAIR's Duwad Walid insists that the airline "has not taken full responsibility."
CAIR threatened legal action against US Airways in the case of the six imams, and they now seem ready to treat Northwest Airlines with the same veiled intimidation. But that's Islam's theology, you know – convert or die.
CAIR has also gotten rather testy about the new season of "24." The hit Fox series has finally had the courage to show terror in the world today for the danger that it is. The producers also did something monumentally courageous and are putting it all in the context of Islamic extremism. So far, many of the Muslims in the four-episode season have been dishonest, manipulative soldiers intent on killing infidels. Since better than 97 percent of all terror activity in my lifetime has been initiated by Islamic fundies, I'm glad that, at least at present, roughly 1 percent of prime-time television programs will show it accurately.
The spokesbabe for CAIR, Rabiah Ahmed (pronounced: Hock-mad), said, "I saw '24' on Monday, and we do have concerns for the show. We are monitoring it and will be contacting Fox to discuss those concerns. We like a good show and a good drama. But as an advocacy group, we have to consider the image and interest of our community."
I'm sorry, Ms. Ahmed, what community is it that you refer to?
Would that be the same community that danced in the streets of the Middle East, as well as Jersey City, N.J., and suburban Michigan when 3,000 Americans were killed ruthlessly by practitioners of Islam on Sept. 11? Would that be the community that in the aftermath of those attacks, as well as the ones in the South Pacific, London, Madrid, Tel Aviv, Jordan and a dozen more, have steadfastly refused to renounce the personalities and practices of those leading the Islamic jihad against the West?
Of course, CAIR has an impossible mission. They are charged with defending a religious system whose very sacred text instructs faithful practitioners to sever heads and limbs of infidels. I can only imagine the self-conflict every one of the CAIR employees must face on a daily basis. Because to be truly American they must alter at least part of their faith practice, to deny a part of its historical instruction. And thus to be fully Muslim they must choose to deny a part of what being an American is, respecting the differences of others.
Evangelical Christians make no bones about our belief. Jesus Christ claimed he was "the Way, the Truth and the Life" and that "no one could come to the Father" except through Him. But he sure never instructed infidels to be beheaded, He instead healed a man's severed ear when one of his own disciples defended Him too zealously.
CAIR is the religious equivalent of an Islamic ambulance chaser. Their message is dishonest and very inconsistent with their faith's own teachings. They are misguided in what they understand about America's legitimate fears concerning terror, and they always seem to defend the wrong people.
But hey, if the hijacked airliner, suicide-mission fits ...
Kevin McCullough is heard daily in New York City, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware on WMCA 570 at 2 p.m.
Thanks for the article, it speaks directly to why we should CAIR about CAIR and its modus operandi and purported mission in a post-9/11 world BumP.
CAIR is the Islamist spin machine. They will lie about everything including the number of Muslims in the US.
The above has summarized some criticism of CAIR, including their laughable population claims, which I regularly hear repeated in the media and on FoxNew tonight. They weren't challenged on this lie on Fox where just let it slip by.
Take a look at the crackpot methodology that CAIR uses(From the Wiki Link):
"..
The American Jewish Committee as well as several demographers have questioned CAIR about its estimate that there are seven million Muslims in America. Other estimates of the Muslim population have ranged from 1.5 to 3.4 million.
In a November 24, 2001 article in the Washington Post, CAIR's methodology was described thus:
The program on FoxNews was the O'Reilly factor. The criticism
of the show 24 is trival in comparison to the BIG lie of US Muslim Population.
As all media-savy CAIR spokesmen are. . .he was his own master - performing the 'smooth talk'/wrapped in coercive language. Their words are unyielding; unrelenting; uncompromising and mantra-like. It's frightening just to watch them work their opposition.
We lose; if only by acknowledging as O'Reilly did'; a sympathetic recognition here, of the Muslim dilemma that so motivates CAIR.
(It is not fair and balanced, of course, to yeild to those who represent a lie; and whose purpose is to 'shop it'. . .sell it. You can be respectful and not compromise on principle. This is too critical a debate to give this enemy so much as an inch.) A strategy; even for their inauthentic argument; CAIR would never consider.
That said, even more depressing - threatening - to see Northwest Airlines capitulating to the Islamists; yielding. . .and by no small posturing here. Where even a 'bow' is too much; Northwest has exercised a full, to the floor, prostration..
Did you notice how he started out with the seven Million Muslims lie early in his appearance?
More:
Number of Muslims in the United States
"..In other words, two authoritative studies carried out by scholars found that American Muslims number under 2 million - less than a third of the hitherto-consensus number.
To this, the militant Islamic groups in Washington - widely but erroneously seen as representative of American Muslims - responded with predictable hyperbole. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) furiously accused Smith's report of working "to block Muslim political participation."
The American Muslim Council (AMC) charged Smith with nothing less than trying to "deny the existence of 4 1/2 million American Muslims" and blamed him for "tearing at the very heart of America."
The AMC also amusingly claimed that its own estimate of "more than 7 million" Muslims came from the 2000 Census figures - erroneously thinking that the Census asks about religion.
Oh, and that's the same AMC which in 1992 pressured a researcher named Fareed Nu'man to find 6 million Muslims in the country; Nu'man later testified that he counted just 3 million and was fired by the AMC when he refused to inflate his number above 5 million.
Why does the militant Islamic lobby insist on the 6-7 million figures? Because a larger number, even if phony, offers it enhanced access and clout. Convincing the Republican Party that Muslims number 8 million, for example, led to urgent calls from its chairman for "meeting with [Muslim] leaders," something which becomes less of a priority when the Muslim population turns out to be much smaller.
Knowing the real number of Muslims will, most immediately, likely impede two militant Islamic efforts now underway: one (pushed by The Minaret magazine) to get Americans to acknowledge that their own misdeeds partially caused the atrocities of Sept. 11; and another (led by CAIR) to halt the U.S. military campaign in Afghanistan. The longer-range implications will be yet more significant..."
Most of the people I know (in the US) from Islamic countries are not Muslims -- rather are Christians who fled the Islamic tyranny.
It's interesting that "American" precedes "Islamic", as though to imply it's America's responsibility to make the relationship nice and workable.
I've been asking myself the why is 'American' in their name question from the first I saw one of those CAIR scumbags interviewed.
CAIR SUCKS, big time.
BTTTT
“Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”
Omar M. Ahmad, Chairman of the Board, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Conference in Freemont, California, July 1998.
"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." Omar Ahmad, founder of CAIR
Everything else that comes from CAIR is propaganda and lies.
For the same reason it appears in "People for the American Way", and other enemy entities.
They think we are idiots. And enough are, that it works.
CAIR is bankrolled by the Saudis. Its a trojan horse to weaken the US for an islamic takeover.
PISSSSSSSSS be upon CAIR.
Love,
Jarhead
Yes, I had the same thought in answer to the CAIR position that they got their number from census records. If they are assigning religion because of the origin of names, they are most likely counting Christians who left their home countries because of persecutions.
Yes. . .and how he threw out the numbers of how many had been victims of 'hate crimes' since 9/11. . . when O'Reilly offered that all groups relevant to a problem get protrayed in 'fiction' and that Americans were fair - that they didn't go after them (Muslims) after 9/11. ..remember his saying something as per the above or some other stat that tossed out 30,000.. .in any event, O'Reilly missed the numbers entirely.
He also played while appealing to the 'fair and balanced' of Fox News; knowing they would see this as it is and fairly.
These people are wiley, and practiced.
The thing is that the criticism of the show "24" is secondary
to spreading the lie about the size of the US Muslim population. They are practiced liars and hiding a bigger lie behind bogus outrage is one way they work.
Muslims can lie “Takeyya” for allah under any perceived threat, Surah 3:28. Looking forward to how man-made laws will over ride this allah.
CAIR's true purpose is to Islamize America. You better believe it.
Thanks for the ping!
Council on American-Islamic Relations
My take on the name is that "American" is a separate concept from "Islamic," hence the hyphen. They as much as said "We're not Americans, we're Islamics!"
But it make a good acronym, no?
I hope McCullough manages to keep his job. CAIR's complaints have already gotten 1 radio personality canned.
CAIR is a Trojan Horse. I'd like to see the Feds go in and bust them for all their terrorist ties.
Well, just a question of priorities and 'whose'. . .
I would pray that neither Fox nor the public at large; capitulate in any form; nor accept even one of their charges; not one of the arguments they offer at face value.
Furious that Northwestern Airlines did just that.
They only reason these people have power; is because WE GIVE IT to them. WE let them use their lies to carry them along. . .
ANYone who interviews them; and is not prepared to tell the truth about CAIR; Muslim Inc, et al. . .contributes to the problem here; rather than the solution.
Hmmm. We can probably assume that 10% of the muzzies in the USA are 'radicals', and their purpose for being here is to cause mischief and mayhem, including bombings, murder, hijackings, sabotage, etc. At least, that's what I think, Anti-Bubba182.
They would take their direct orders from abroad for planned missions, and at the same time would have a degree of autonomy to act on their own, with regard to 'special' situations that may arise. They are a 'fifth-column' in the USA!
We had some experience with this situation during WW-II with the Germans and Japanese in the USA. I'd expect the muzzies to get the same treatment, and as a bonus, toss CAIR and the ACLU into the camps with them.
The 'special' situation that's coming soon is the elimination of the Iranian Nuclear Facilities. Even though the FBI is on-the-job, it would be a good idea to count the number of mosques in our neighbourhoods, note their locations, then stay well armed and safe. It's Boy Scout time - Be Prepared! .............. FRegards
Anyone watching the special on Fox News right now re the presence and activities of Hezbollah in America. . .as in North Carolina for starting purposes here. . .incredible.
Oh. . .okay, football. . .ok. . .
And watching this special (as per Fox News special mentioned in prior post. . .} and I am wondering why we do not have special laws for foreign residents who engage in illegal activities; and certainly terrorism should be a 'separate matter'/whether citizen or not.
Just finished watching the FOX news special, cricket. Our problem is that 'terrorism' is treated as a 'lawbreaking-thing', instead of an act of war!
That probably stems from the old idea that only another 'nation' can wage war on the USA. We have laws against 'Treason' and 'Sedition', but it seems we don't use them unless we are in a 'declared' war.
Maybe we just let the bastards get away with it until we decide to kill their home-countries, like we're about to do to Iran.
I should add Syria, Hizbollah, Hamas and Fatah to the kill list too. .............. FRegards
Agree with your options here; but despite the clamoring re Iran; and our current status in Iraq; seems more that we are moving closer to our own retreating rather than advancing on any war front.
What was heretofore the wisdom of where there is a WILL; there is a way; is collapsing into less 'Will' exhibited now, by more American's than ever before.
Great. I love this article.
You said -- "It's interesting that "American" precedes "Islamic", as though to imply it's America's responsibility to make the relationship nice and workable."
Well, we could come up with some "names" for CAIR...
Council Against Islamic Retards
Anyone else got some to add here...

Coalition of American Islomofascists for Reform.
Not to worry, cricket! The only 'will' that counts is the will of the Cowboy in our White House.
I don't think he'll let the USA down. He won't allow a nuclear Iran. .......... FRegards
Have not seen the 'cowboy hat' lately' but I will that you are right!
The same reason "American" is in ACLU's name....subtrafuge!
