     CAIR:  Sponsoring Hate Speech

     On Monday, 28 August, the Council on American-Islamic Relations(CAIR), a Washington, D.C. based Islamic hate group, sponsored a
forum at the National Press Club.  Invited to speak were the University of Chicago’s political scientist John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt of Harvard’s Kennedy School.

     During this disgusting display of anti-American rhetoric, members of the congress had their surnames altered to resemble Germanic names, the “Jewish lobby” was vilified, and prominent Jewish members of the administration were gratuitously insulted.

     Why? 

     Why would CAIR, which calls itself a “Muslim civil rights group”, associate itself with two so-called “scholars” whose main talent seems to be bashing Jews?

     Both speakers seemed to imply that America was threatened by Islamic terrorism due to America’s support for Israel.  To put this in the
proper context, the best way to protect Americans from Islamic terror would be to surrender to Islamic terrorism.

     This is what CAIR supports?  

     Selected comments from Nihad Awad’s (CAIR’s executive director) opening comments:

“American's Middle East policy should be based on our nation's interests,
not on those of a powerful domestic lobby for a foreign government.”

“It is possible for people in the Middle East and the larger Muslim world to regain
their respect for America and to view as credible our nation's call for
democracy and human rights.”

     CAIR, with proven ties to Islamic terrorism and Islamic terrorists, presumes to lecture Americans about our Middle East policy; essentially stating that it is unfair for America to treat Islamic terrorists differently than we do the Israeli government.  

     CAIR recently accepted 50 million dollars (US) from the UAE;  how can CAIR credibly claim that this massive cash infusion will not influence CAIR’s viewpoint?  Islamic governments are not in the habit of providing funds to American groups unless they are receiving good value for their money.

     As to condemnation of the “domestic lobby”?  It can be credibly argued that CAIR is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the UAE and they presume to lecture us about “powerful domestic lobbies”?   

     Does CAIR’s idea of promoting Islam include anti-American hate speech?  CAIR, the lapdogs of Islamic extremism in North America is once again clearly demonstrating its hatred of America.

     As to the call for “respect for America”; since when did any American call for respect from Islamic terrorists…and just why would we want that respect ...?
