Council on American-Islamic Relations: Tear Down Every Confederate Memorial

Council on American-Islamic Relations: Tear Down Every Confederate Memorial

Eric Owens Education Editor 8:22 AM 08/15/2017

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), America’s largest Muslim civil rights group, is calling on state and local governments all over the United States to tear down all monuments and memorials commemorating Confederate leaders and the short-lived Confederate States of America.

CAIR joined several groups asking for the removal of Confederate memorials in the wake of a “Unite the Right” white supremacist rally that turned violent over the weekend. At the Charlottesville, Va. rally, James Alex Fields, a rally attendee, allegedly plowed his grey Dodge Challenger through a large group of people on a pedestrian mall. One woman, Heather Heyer, died in the incident. About 20 other people suffered injuries.

Nihad Awad, CAIR’s national executive director, urged state and local governments to erase every symbol and every vestige of Confederate history immediately.

“A fitting response to the deadly terror attack on anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville would be for officials in states and cities nationwide to immediately announce that every street, every school, every flag, and every public memorial honoring those who took up arms in defense of white supremacy and slavery will be removed or have its name changed to instead honor those who fought for civil rights,” Awad said in a statement to The Daily Caller.

Not surprising. Hypocritical and al Qaeda-like, but not surprising.

And yet islam is founded by a slave trader and sanctions slavery....

Why are there no calls to tear down mosques...?

Tear down every mosque first.

Outlaw the cult which sanctions the killing of non-believers known as “Islam”.

Jefferson and Washington were slave owners, correct?

I guess We’ll have to tear down the Jefferson Memorial and the Washington monument.

The forces of totalitarianism think they have us right where they want us - weak, discredited, vulnerable, and we won’t lift a finger to stop them.

So far, they are correct in their assessment.

My understanding is there would have been no black slaves in America if the Muslims hadn’t captured and sold them to the Europeans.

So, muzzie has WHAT connection with confederate?

Both muzzies and non-Whites are certified victims. Both are getting money and privileges from us, through the government. Both are failures. That gives them the right to claim victim status?

Build more monuments. They throw everyone of these CAIR SCUMBAGS into prison or the Middle east. We don’t need them and we don’t want them here.

The real issue is leftists, globalists and outsiders trying to distance us from our history. We, as a nation, do not need to forget our history, I don’t care who you are or what color you are. Do blacks REALLY want us all to forget that their ancestors were enslaved?? I don’t think so. Makes no sense for their own well-being.
