The recent
arrest of 17 suspected Muslim terrorists has shocked
the Canadian branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations
(CAIR). The alleged attacks were apparently planned against a
variety of targets, including the Canadian Parliament, the Prime
Minister, and other government buildings:
CAIR-Canada (CAIR-CAN) was
apparently
caught
off guard by the arrests, as indicated by the comments of Karl
Nickner,
CAIR-CAN’s executive director:
“The events came as a surprise, a shock to
the
Muslim community … It’s a wake-up call.”
However, just how “shocked” was CAIR?
Sayyid Ahmed Amiruddin, a Muslim religious
leader in Toronto
had
this to say about some of the suspects:
"They would enter into the mosque to pray,
and they would pray
in a very aggressive manner, and they would come in military fatigues
and military touques and stuff. It looked to me that they were
watching
a lot of those Chechnyan jihad videos online and stuff."
Why didn’t Amiruddin inform authorities of
this strange behavior? “Pray in a very aggressive manner?”
Military fatigues? What would it take for Amiruddin to report
these incidents to law enforcement, and why did he fail to do so?
Perhaps it is because of groups like CAIR and
CAIR-CAN, who
regularly
inform Muslims that they have the “right” not
to speak to law enforcement…but yet both encourage their members to
complain to the very same authorities whenever they are even slightly
made to feel uncomfortable over their faith.
Nickner’s request is somewhat more subdued
than that of
CAIR-CAN
board member Shahina Siddiqui who is also executive
director of the Islamic Social Services Association (ISSA)…Ms. Siddiqui
had this to say:
"We are part of
Canadian society, we demand Canadian society
come forward to help us root out the problems."
“Demand?” Just who is Siddiqui to be
making demands and why is the Canadian government predisposed to listen
to anything she and her CAIR-CAN cronies have to say?
From what we know, Canadian authorities helped
the Muslim community, and Canadians in general, by arresting these
misdirected Muslim youths before they had the chance to terror-murder
innocents in the name of their warped version of god.
Only CAIR is delusional enough to believe that
Canadian society is to blame for a situation that CAIR itself helped
create and now supports.
If Nickner, Siddiqui, and other Canadian
Muslims want to know who is responsible for the sorry state of Islam in
North America, perhaps they should address their questions
to the nearest
mirror?
Then, peaceful Muslims can address the
question of why they accept the presence of CAIR and CAIR-CAN as
representatives of Islam in North America …
CAIR
was founded by Muslim terrorists, is supported by
Muslim terrorist supporting countries, and has been proven to be a
Muslim terrorist supporting front group with Muslim terrorists on
staff…are these the types of groups North American Muslims want
representing their faith?
Hate
groups, whatever their message, have no place in civil society.
If North American Muslims want to be taken seriously, they must speak
out against CAIR and CAIR’s hateful messages.
North American Muslims, for far too long, have
allowed their message of peace to be distributed by those who not only
do not hunger for peace, but work
actively to subvert the very countries that provide them sanctuary.
When will North American Muslims understand
that they have to meet their fellow citizen’s half-way? Making
demands does nothing to enhance their
image
, especially when the demands
are totally unjustified and made
in their name by the representative of
a Muslim hate group ...
