Council on American-Islamic via Bloomberg, no url | 9/6/2

Posted on 09/06/2002 12:27:30 PM PDT by NativeNewYorker

On Tuesday, September 10, the Council on American-Islamic

Relations (CAIR), a Washington-based Islamic civil rights and advocacy

group, will hold a community interfaith vigil at the Capitol

Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., to mark the first anniversary of

the 9/11 terrorist attacks. 

   The event, called ''A Night of Remembrance and Reflection,'' will

include a candlelight vigil, a children's choir, poetry readings and

speeches from local community and religious leaders. (Groups or

individuals interested in participating in the vigil should contact:

jerb(At)cair-net.org or nserag(At)cair-net.org) 

   ''On this solemn occasion, we urge all Americans to unite in

prayers for peace and tolerance. Now more than ever, we must challenge

those who seek to divide our country along ethnic or religious

lines,'' said CAIR Board Chairman Omar Ahmad.

   The American Muslim Political Coordination Council (AMPCC), made up

of the nation's four most prominent Muslim political advocacy groups,

is calling on all faith communities to also participate in a

''National Day of Unity and Prayer'' by opening houses of worship on

September 11, 2002, for interfaith visits, prayers, congregational

exchanges, and other activities intended to foster national unity and

religious tolerance. More than 100 such events are scheduled across

America. SEE: http://www.cair-net.org/dayofunity/ 

   WHEN: Tuesday, Sept. 10, 8:30-10 p.m. 

   WHERE: Capitol Reflecting Pool (Westside), Washington, D.C.

Tolerance my a$$. I'm fed up with the losers of this world telling me I should tolerate their abnormal, sick and immoral behavioral choices.

Nowhere in the article does it say whether CAIR approves or disapproves of the WTC attacks. Merely, they are calling on others not to discriminate against Muslims, when Muslims like them are unwilling to condemn, or are at least unclear in their condemnation of the attacks.

Net: "Where does CAIR stand on terrorism? We condemn the terrorization of Muslims this September 11th."

Is it just me, or do you both agree that the word "reflection" as they use it means THEY want US to "reflect" on what WE may have done to cause this?

Isn't it funny this group never ever said that what took place on 9/11 was wrong! That headed by Hooper is constantly attacking Christians and Jews.

Yet they want a tolerance vigil, how nice. They are not tolerant of anyone else!

I have a better set of ideas.

1. Put God back in the classroom (and anywhere else we deem necessary)
2. Move all of the white farmers in Zimbabwe to Israel.
Move all of the palestinians to Zimbabwe (they love terrorists there)
3. Move all islamic arabs from the USA back to the middle east. (They openly state their goal is to take over the USA)
4. US out of the UN, and the UN out of the USA
5. US out of NATO. The next time some jackboot thug comes calling, we will be to busy to help, as Europe is too busy to help the USA now.
6. Take over Iraq (Invite the British, Canadians, Dutch and Israelis to join us and split the oil fields up between those who assist us).
7. Take over the Saudi Oil Fields
8. If Iran doesn't like it we take over their oil fields as well.
9. Tell the green Nazis / environmental nuts to go to Europe or Asia and enjoy their clean air and water.
10. Use the money we get from the oil to pay for our defense of the Gulf in 1991, the cost of 9/11, the cost of invading Iraq, the cost for keeping troops in the Middle East, and For the cost of increasing the pay of our troops and for new equipment.
11. Charge Europe $60.00 a per barrel for not going along with us.
12. Put a huge tariff on all imported goods from any nations who doesn't like us
13. Dump the WTO,
14. DUMP NAFTA and GATT
15. CLOSE ARE BORDERS TO illegal immigrants
16. CUT all aid to children born here of illegal immigrants
17. Deport all illegal immigrants (we have TB and typhoid now in the USA thanks to illegal immigrants.
It cost the USA tax payers 24 billion a year to support illegal immigrants enough is enough.
18. Make English the official and only legal language in the USA. If people don’t like it they can move to any place they want to where they speak the language they wish to hear.
19 Time to change the sign on the Statue of Liberty. "Keep your TRASH -- NO VACANCY!"
20. Look around the world and see who owns our national debt. Exchange the debt papers they have with the money they owe us since 1860. I think only Finland and Israel have ever paid us back. This way, since we loaned Germany and England so much money that they never paid back, we cancel the debt they hold on our government.

That is my 20 point plank for being elected president, or at least senator
