Senator John Kerry, Supporting
CAIR?
On March
17, 2004, the Weblog of Dr. Daniel Pipes, an internationally known expert
on Islam tells an interesting story about the
wife of presidential candidate Senator John Kerry. Mrs.
Kerry has made significant contributions to the Tides Foundation, an organization
that counts the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) as one of their
beneficiaries. According to Pipes, the controversy
over Mrs. Kerry’s association with the Tides Foundation has reached the point
where they have had to issue a statement stating
just how the money donated by the The Heinz Endowments has been spent.
Even though it appears
to be true that little of the Heinz Endowment money was sent to CAIR, a quick
check of the list of organizations supported by the Tides Foundation finds CAIR, along
with a veritable “who’s who” of the leftist, “progressive”, and other anti-American
organizations.
Anti-CAIR (ACAIR) believes that Senator Kerry owes the American people an explanation for his wife’s association with the Tides Foundation, specifically:
1. Why does the Heinz Endowment
find it necessary to route their donations through the Tides Foundation? What is preventing the Heinz Endowment from making direct
contributions to those groups it supports?
2. CAIR is well known for
supporting Islamic terrorist groups and individuals in the
3. Will Senator Kerry condemn
the Tides Foundation for their ties to CAIR and encourage his wife to cut
off all contact between the Heinz Endowment and the Tides Foundation?
CAIR’s Duplicity; Condemning
Terrorism/Supporting Terrorists
On March
18, 2004, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a press release
concerning condolences sent by CAIR, and other groups, to the Spanish Ambassador
over the recent terrorist bombings in
In the
press release, CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper had this to say:
"An apparent
goal of the terrorists is to divide the world along religious and national
lines, the most appropriate response to these vicious attacks is to strengthen
and expand relations between people of all faiths and cultural origins."
CAIR, an organization
that has seen several senior officers convicted on militant Islamist terrorism
related charges, offers their condolences to the Spanish people? CAIR, which has issued statements in support of militant
Islam, now offers apologies to the victims
of militant Islamist terrorism? Is
this some kind of sick joke?
CAIR, “the
U.S. section of Hamas” and clearly on the wrong side in the war on terror,
tries to have it both ways: condemning terrorism in general, while failing
to condemn terrorist acts committed by specific militant Islamists. Even for CAIR, this is a new low and an insult to the
recent victims of militant Islam in
How long
must the American people listen to CAIR, the “skinheads” of the militant
Islamist movement, before we rise up and demand our leaders take action against
this so-called “civil rights” group?
