Should Americans care about CAIR? The first attack on
American soil by Islamic terrorists was the 1993 bombing of the World
Trade Center. On 9/11, Islamic terrorists had hoped to kill 40,000
people. The 1993 attack was a dry run that did not give them the bang
for their buck. Only six Americans lost their lives that day. It was
a great disappointment to the terrorists. Cyanide was in the van that
was blown up in the basement parking garage of the WTC that day, but
the extreme heat of the fire destroyed the poisonous gas before it
killed anyone. It was a failed experiment. But the Islamics learned
from their mistake.
If CAIR had its way, we would see such scenes on America's streets! With 9/11 the Islamic cat was out of the bag and so it should surprise no one
that in 1994, CAIR — the Council on American/Islamic Relations — was
born. It's called damage control. Islam needed it, badly. While CAIR may not carry out attacks on America with bombs or
missiles, its cause is quite obvious and its goal is very clear: the
United States of Islam. Personally, I like my country the way it is
right now — mostly Christian and free.

The Islamic cat was out of the bag and so it should surprise no one
that in 1994, CAIR — the Council on American/Islamic Relations — was
born. It's called damage control. Islam needed it, badly. Bill
Clinton was able to take some of the heat off of Islam for the 1993
attack on our soil by calling it a "crime" and not what it actually
was — a bold Islamic attack on American soil.
When one visits the CAIR website, it seems quite wonderful. CAIR only
wants equality, justice, peace, and mutual understanding. Isn't that
what all good people want?
Two statements from its "Mission Statement" appear to be quite
straight-forward: "CAIR condemns all acts of violence against
civilians by any individual, group or state" and "CAIR advocates
dialogue between faith communities both in America and worldwide."
All is not as it seems, however. First, one must
understand "Islamaspeak."
In the first statement is the word, "civilian." What we Americans see
as a civilian is not always what Islamics see as civilians.
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi states that anyone who gets in the way of his
great plan and holy jihad, civilian or soldier, will be eliminated.
Omar Bakri Mohammed, the spiritual leader of the British extremist
sect al-Muhajiroun, stated that killing women and children in Britain
would be justified because he believes British soldiers have murdered
women and children in Iraq.
Hashemi-Rafsanjani, a ruling cleric in Iran, stated that a Muslim
country should drop a nuke on Israel, assuring his fellow terrorists
that only Israel would be destroyed. It's obvious Mr. Rafsanjani
doesn't know much about nuclear weapons. Is Israel filled with
civilians? Of course it is, but not if you are Muslim. Every Jew in
Israel is a legitimate target because they are "occupying" Muslim
land. Islam seems to forget that Jews have lived there for 4000 years.
In 1994, CAIR coordinated meetings for Bassam Alamoush, a Jordanian
Islamic militant who told a Chicago audience that killing Jews was "a
good deed."
A Saudi cleric gave permission to bin Laden to use a nuclear bomb in
an American city but only as a "measure of reciprocity." Has America
dropped a nuke on an Islamic country and no one has reported it?
Often in Islam, anything is justified because it says, "They did it
first." A "civilian" is a legitimate target because he supports the
evil government of his country. Americans re-elected George Bush
therefore, we are no longer "civilians."
In all fairness, these men are all terrorists or radicals. CAIR
implies it don't support such men. So what do the members of CAIR
have to say about justice, equality, religious freedom, and
terrorists?
Ghassan Elashi, founder of the Texas Chapter of CAIR, was convicted
on 21 counts of laundering and funneling money to known terrorist
groups.
Then there is this outrageous statement from Omar Ahmad, co-founder
of CAIR: "Those who stay in America should be open to society without
melting, keeping mosques open so anyone can come and learn about
Islam. If you choose to live here, you have a responsibility to
deliver the message of Islam ... Islam isn't in America to be equal
to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim
book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and
Islam the only accepted religion on earth."
While professing religious tolerance and understanding around the
world, Nihad Awad, CAIR's executive director, was outraged when he
received word that Christian aid workers dared hand out literature
about Christianity to the tsunami victims. He said, "Just when our
nation's image in the Islamic world was improving as a result of the
outpouring of American aid in the tsunami disaster area, we hear from
those who would exploit the tragedy to advance their own extremist
agenda..."
Just to refresh your memory, one of the mission statements of CAIR is
to promote justice and mutual understanding in America and around the
world. In practice, CAIR will cram Islam down the throats of
Christian Americans, using our freedoms and laws to protect it and
Christians shall never, ever attempt to teach Christianity to any
Muslim. That is an "extremist agenda." CAIR does not consider its
plan to replace our Constitution with the Quran extreme, however.
CAIR does not recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization even though
Hamas is responsible for numerous attacks on Israeli civilians.
Dancing on the head of a pin, CAIR reverts to the "legitimate
resistance to Israeli occupation" excuse to overlook the bus bombings
and the killing of children in an ice cream shop. There is that "who
we see as a civilian is not who Islam sees as a civilian" loophole
again. All can be justified in Islam. It's just a matter of what the
definition of "civilian" is.
What is CAIR's purpose? Perhaps this statement from CAIR spokesman,
Ibrahim Hooper, gives us a clue: "I wouldn't want to create the
impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States
to be Islamic sometime in the future...But I'm not going to do
anything violent to promote that. I'm going to do it through
education."
While CAIR may not carry out attacks on America with bombs or
missiles, its cause is quite obvious and its goal is very clear: the
United States of Islam. Personally, I like my country the way it is
right now — mostly Christian and free.
There is hope that our government is waking up to the double-speak of
CAIR. A conference in Spain to explore ways to deal with religious
intolerance is CAIR-free. Kamal Nawash, president of the Free Muslim
Coalition, is on the government's list to represent America. Dr. Imam
Khaleel Mohammed, a friend of Mr. Nawash, has this to say about
CAIR: "...these organizations stand up and preach to the press how
opposed they are to terrorism-and since, unlike Kamal Nawash, I do
not have the necessity to be politically correct, I can mention
bloody names, and I can call names and I call names like CAIR and
MAS. They stand up and preach hypocrisy..."
Honesty is refreshing, isn't it?
