     CAIR:  Feelings Hurt; United 93

     On 10 May, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) posted an item titled:  “CAIR-CA: Muslims Concerned 'United 93' Creates Anti-Islam Sentiment”.

     According to Bushra Khan, office manager for CAIR’s Arizona chapter, she and two Muslim friends were verbally assaulted by a couple who had apparently just watched the movie, “United 93”.  The movie covered the events of September 11, 2001, when passengers and crew rose up and defended their fellow Americans by denying Islamic terrorists the opportunity to deliberately crash United flight 93 as their co-religionists had done earlier that horrible morning.

     Bushra Khan, the office manager for the Council on American-Islamic Relations' Arizona chapter, was so upset that she sent a message out to all 31 CAIR offices nationwide about the incident.  However, she apparently wasn’t offended enough to call the FBI or local law enforcement in to investigate yet another possible “anti-Muslim hate crime”. 

     Khan has the dubious distinction of working for CAIR, an organization that repeatedly has problems with facts; an organization that has consistently defended Muslims involved in “hate crimes” that never occurred, an organization that labels even the most innocuous of statements about Islam as “Islamophobia” in an effort to bully Americans into acceptance of CAIR as arbiter of everything Islamic in America.  In short, CAIR promotes a version of Islam that is at odds with America and American values.

     Consider:

     * August, 2004: CAIR demands law enforcement investigate an intentionally set fire at a Muslim-owned store as a possible “hate crime”.  The police did investigate and ended up arresting the stores owner, Amjad Adnuar.  CAIR, which had pressed for the investigation, was “stunned” when told that Adnuar had been arrested for torching his own store.

     “Stunned”, indeed!

     * July, 2004:  CAIR calls on “local and national leaders to address the issue of growing Islamophobic prejudice following an arson attack on a Muslim-owned business in Washington State”.  The stores owner, Mirza Akram, is later arrested on federal charges of Arson. 

     “…growing Islamophobic prejudice…?”

     * In an article by Daniel Pipes and Sharon Chadha, we see how CAIR demonstrates its disregard for facts in an obvious ploy to falsely show that Americans hate Muslims and that CAIR is the answer to growing “Islamophobia” in North America.

     The article, “CAIR’s Hate Crimes Nonsense” details how CAIR manipulates facts, invents anti-Muslim attacks that either never took place or were proven not to be “hate crimes” in the first place…or were committed by Muslims themselves.

     In light of CAIR’s history of inventing facts and incidents to support its warped, Islamist world-view, it is right to question if this event even took place. Absent credible witnesses, Anti-CAIR seriously doubts this event occurred.

     All Americans would be well served to believe anything stated by CAIR to be a lie until proven otherwise. 

     This so-called “Muslim Civil Rights Group” whose program is an insult to every American who values the Constitution; the very same organization that has done absolutely nothing significant to assist our country in defending itself from Islamist terror; the same organization that willingly defends Islamic terrorists and criminals and that bashes the United States at every opportunity has the nerve to complain…over harsh words…in an event that most likely never happened?

     When are we Americans going to substitute “harsh words” for action in demanding of our elected representatives that they do the right thing and protect the country by shutting down CAIR and CAIR’s fellow travelers in the now-legal Islamist movements that are hell-bent on converting our great country into another cheap Islamist theocracy?

   

     When ...?
