The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is alarmed by what it perceives as growing anti-Muslim sentiment in Minnesota. Prompted by news of racist fliers being posted in St. Cloud and the candidacy of Lynne Torgerson against Rep. Keith Ellison, the group called for religious leaders to repudiate anti-Muslim acts. In a press release Thursday, CAIR quoted from a Minnesota Independent profile of independent candidate Torgerson, noting that her web site says Islam “is not ‘religion’ recognizable under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.” (She actually states that one “portion” of Islam, a line in the Quran about “slay[ing] the idolaters wherever you find them,” shouldn’t be protected by the Constitution. But because of that one line, she concludes that “the total ‘religion’ of Islam is not fully protectable by our First Amendment to the Unites States Constitution.”) She told MnIndy’s Chris Steller, “I don’t want other cultures coming into the United States and chilling our freedoms.”
The Muslim civil liberties group also cited reports that fliers showing the prophet Mohammed, along with swastikas, appeared on utility poles in St. Cloud.

More on the St. Cloud story...
This is a huge tactical blunder. CAIR is perhaps unwittingly acknowledging that the murder of infidels is an integral part of Islam, loudly and publicly.
Let’s help them get the word out about their problem with her.
So...they think it’s just Minnesota? Must have a vision problem.
But anti-Cristian hate gets a pass. Its pretty hard to build a church in the Middle East.
BTW, How many terrorists has CAIR turned in to the police or military.?
Ms Torgerson sounds pretty squared away to me.
I'm still waiting for "religious" muslim leaders worlwide to repudiate 911. It's only been 8 years.
I would like to see those flyers and posters.
Bet there is no call to kill anyne, least of all random people worldwide.
“Let’s help them get the word out about their problem with her.”
That’s why I’m staying with this story...
What do they say?
Racist? Are they crazy? Racist? They’re nuts!
That's because they rely entirely on other documents such as the hadiths, and various tales about Mohammad's friends and compatriots to tell them what it means.
The basic penalty for engaging in Koranic exegesis has been sudden and violent death at the hands of someone who believes such activity constitutes defilement of the Koran.
As Mohamad himself said: وقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم): من قال في القرآن برأيه فأصاب فقد أخطأ (أي أخطأ في فعله بقيله فيه برأيه وإن وافق قيله ذلك عين الصواب)
And you'd best believe that's the way it is or else!
CAIR should be careful in St. Cloud; I believe that is where the fine Panther Arms is headquartered....
The 5th is my Rep. district. I would vote for a road-kill
deer carcass if it were able to run against Hakim. He’s
just as bad as you can imagine he would be.
This is the first I’ve heard about it, but it has passed my sniff test so far. We won’t know if it’s a setup until down the road, but so far it sounds like the frontal attack on a murderous cult that is just and necessary.
I hate Islam. And I don’t need a flier to say it.
What’s racist about hating Islam?
Just heard on the local talker that police in St. Cloud have a suspect, but haven’t charged the person because they are still looking into the possibility of charging this as a hate crime......
