CAIR Condemns Jersey City Murders ... Nobody Notices

      On January 13, 2005, Newsday.com reported on an interfaith meeting between Christian and Muslim leaders concerning the Armanious murders in Jersey City last month.   

      The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) linked to the story in a press release of theirs on the same date. 

      Anti-CAIR (ACAIR) notes that not only was NO CAIR representative present at this interfaith meeting, but that there are NO quotes of CAIR spokesmen or any reference at all to the well-known Islamist group in this article. 

      Additionally, ACAIR notes with great interest that a “condolence note” from the New Jersey chapter of CAIR to the Armanious family and the Coptic community was ignored by the press as well. 
 
      We can only hope that this is the beginning of a trend among the mainstream media to discount or ignore CAIR's rantings.  It has always been our opinion that there is evidence that CAIR and its leaders have supported Hamas and other terrorists, and that CAIR was therefore not qualified to speak for loyal American Muslims. 

      Is it just us, or does it seem that the only place CAIR can get a positive mention these days is in their own press releases ?

      If so, we think it’s about time.
