CAIR:  Calling for Probe of “War Crimes” in Iraq




- CAIR:  Calling for Probe of “War Crimes” in Iraq

    On November 15, 2004, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a News Release headlined: “CAIR Says Civilians in Fallujah Must Receive Aid”.  Subtitled: “Islamic civil rights group calls for probe of alleged war crimes”. 

    In the news release, CAIR included the following statement:

“…called for an independent probe of allegations by Amnesty International (AI)
and human rights experts that both sides in the recent fighting have violated
the rules of war.”

  “…that both sides in the recent fighting have violated the rules of war.”? 

     At first reading, it would appear that CAIR is acknowledging that Islamist terrorists may actually be responsible for “war crimes”.  If so, this would be a new direction for CAIR, an organization that is very well known for expressing sympathy, if not outright support, for Islamist terrorists and their followers.

     However, it was not to be…possible war crimes being committed by Islamist terrorists just doesn’t make an appearance in CAIR’s warped world-view.  As is well-known the world over, militant Islamists never commit any terrorist acts and are universally renowned as lovers of peace, freedom, and the right to kill anyone who doesn’t agree with their perverted version of Allah.

     CAIR continues:

“Media reports indicate that U.S. troops have blocked aid convoys trying to
reach people trapped in Fallujah and that some military personnel may
have targeted civilians.”

     Horrors!  US troops are blocking aid convoys!  Of course, CAIR simply must protest!  However…what if an AID convoy were to be destroyed by terrorist activity on the way into Fallujah?  How long would it take for CAIR to condemn the US troops for failing to properly protect the convoy?  You see, in CAIR’s world, anything that damages the US war effort is fair game…we will never read a CAIR press release honoring American or coalition forces fighting in Iraq.  As for CAIR’s snotty remark “that some military personnel may have targeted civilians”, we wonder just when CAIR will call for the terrorists to wear proper uniforms and fight under recognized rules of war that place civilians out of harms way.  Of course, that would make it easier for coalition troops to kill the terrorists…and CAIR wouldn’t want that to happen, would they? 

     CAIR said:

"We call on American military authorities to do whatever is necessary to ensure that
those supplies reach Iraqi civilians who are suffering and dying today in that city.”

     Anti-CAIR agrees with CAIR:  US troops should remove the impediments to the safe delivery of humanitarian relief supplies…which they are doing by killing terrorists in large numbers (CAIR must not be watching the news).  As soon as the impediments are killed, relief supplies can begin to flow into the city. 

     …and just why hasn’t CAIR called on the Islamist terrorists to allow aid convoys to pass unmolested?   

     CAIR continues:

"We call on President Bush, elected officials and all Americans of conscience to
re-think our disastrous policies in Iraq and to recognize that those policies are making
us less safe and less respected as a nation."

     Really?  Since when has CAIR ever expressed anything but hate and revulsion toward the United States military?  Just how many Muslims must American troops save before CAIR stops their Ameriphobic attacks on the US military?  …and just how does killing Islamist terrorists make the US less safe?  …as for “respect” from foreign nations; since when has US foreign policy been based on “respect”? 

     …and, in our opinion, excepting personal knowledge and support of Islamist terrorists and Islamist terrorism, just what makes CAIR expert regarding the Iraqi war?
