The Council on AmericanIslamic Relations (CAIR) sharply criticized GOP presidential candidate Donald Trumps promise to exercise extreme vetting of immigrants from terror-plagued regions of the world, calling it unconstitutional.
CAIR spokesman Iman Aswad declared that Trumps vetting would interfere with the free exercise of our religion. Islam is not like Christianity or Judaism. Our faithful are bound to fight against unbelievers. Trumps idea that the government can screen out those who are committed to this fight discriminates against one, and only one religion: Islam. As such it is unconstitutional under American law.
It is also impermissible under sharia law, Aswad added. As stated in the Quran, all the world is for Allah. Any countrys secular laws that refuse to acknowledge this higher law are not binding. People like Trump only prolong the conflict and postpone the day when all can live in peace as members of one united umma. American voters who want this peace must not accept Trump as their president.
Aswad rejected Trumps plan to consult with moderate Muslims, calling it an ignorant outsiders view of Islam. There is no moderate Islam. There is no radical Islam. There is only Islam. The inclusion of heretics and infidels on his vetting commission does not correct the deficiencies of his proposed intrusion into our religious beliefs. Only true Muslims can be the judges of Islam. The best that non-Muslims can do short of converting is to submit and obey the laws laid down by the Caliphate.
In related news, Democratic vice-presidential candidate Sen. Tim Kaine suggested that womens rights in Muslim countries are better protected than they are in the United States. In America it took more than a century for women to get the right to vote, Kaine observed. Even today fewer than 20% of the members of Congress are women. According to Kaine this compares unfavorably with countries like Afghanistan and Iraq. Those who claim that women would be worse off under a Muslim regime are distorting the facts, he said.

Who cares what CAIR thinks! As soon as Trump is elected there will be a massive Firing going on in our government. CAIR will be no more.
I suggest cair start looking for some new office space outside of US territory. How about El Salvador?
The lease is running our and will NOT be renewed. Sorry, new landlord.
“Islam is not like Christianity or Judaism. Our faithful are bound to fight against unbelievers.”
Well, Mr. Ass-wad, you certainly said a mouthful there, didn’t you?
If Islam and America were at all compatible they would not need a council for relations............
