“I assure my fellow Americans that the American Muslims are like every American,” said Nihad Awad.

Standing side by side with jersey city leaders, the head of the Council on American-Islamic relations called for an end to rhetoric, he says, stirs anti-Muslim sentiments.

“Donald Trump has made vicious and unfounded claims against the American Muslim community,” Awad said.

He’s referring to the GOP presidential front runners remarks at a campaign rally. Trump called for surveillance of certain U.S. mosques.

“I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down, and I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down,” Trump said.

Today’s press conference was scheduled before the San Bernardino mass shooting and before the assailants’ religious affiliations were known, but in its wake the Muslim leaders’ message remained the same

“You have to separate the individual from the belief. You cannot paint all Muslims with the same brush,” said Nadia Kahf.

Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop was adamant that Trump’s claims about cheering Muslims were not true.

“With regard to police reports, there’s no media reports that would substantiate that claim. In the days after 9/11 there was obviously a lot of concern across the country, and accusations at that time were found to be unfounded actually,” Fulop said.

Islamic leaders say they’ve felt increased tensions following the statement. Fulop echoed that.

“City hall was inundated with hundreds of phone calls from across the country,” he said.

CAIR... Terrorist supporters

“I Swear By Allah That War Is Deception - We Are Fighting Our Enemy With A Kind Heart - Deceive, Camouflage, Pretend - Deceive Your Enemy”

(FBI Wiretapped Covert Meeting Discussion With CAIR Founder Omar Ahmad)

******

We who follow the Islamist movement fell off our collective chair on November 15, when the news came that the United Arab Emirates’ ministerial cabinet had listed the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as one of 83 proscribed terrorist organizations, up there with the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and ISIS.

You have to separate the individual from the belief. You cannot paint all Muslims with the same brush...

Those of us who associate with the TEA Party movement - or conservatism in general for that matter - have a pretty good idea of what it's like to have all "painted with the same brush." Hmm?

These CAIR spokescritters seem to always rush to the nearest microphones to scold Americans on our "islamophobia" anytime their fellow savages make headlines with the latest atrocity. But they never seem to do a whole lot to stop the Islamic savagery itself.

Until these guys can prove to me that they're actually doing something about the savages among them, I'll continue painting with that brush, thank you very much.
