CAIR Issues Statement on Trump’s Planned ‘Muslim Ban’ Executive Orders

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 1/25/17) – The Council on American-Islamic-Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today issued a statement in reaction to executive orders expected to be signed by President Donald Trump restricting immigration from a number of Middle Eastern and African countries.

~SNIP~

“Make no mistake – whatever language is used in President Trump’s executive orders on refugees, immigration and visa programs – Muslims are the sole targets of these orders.

“These orders are a disturbing confirmation of Islamophobic and un-American policy proposals made during the presidential election campaign.

“Never before in our country’s history have we purposely - as a matter of policy - imposed a ban on immigrants or refugees on the basis of religion, or imposed a religious litmus test on those coming to this nation.p>

“Ideological and religious questioning imposed on our government agencies by Islamophobes – many of whom are now in policy-making positions - will not make us safer and will instead send a very negative message that Muslims are not welcome in America.

“One of our nation’s darkest moments was during World War II when we turned away Jewish refugees seeking our protection. We cannot allow religious bigotry to affect our willingness and ability to welcome those fleeing violence and persecution.

“Refugees coming to America are the most vetted of all those entering our country. They go through multiple levels of screening by multiple national security agencies before they can enter, and before they are even selected as refugees.

“These orders will have an adverse impact on American Muslim families trying to connect with visiting relatives from overseas and parents seeking medical treatment. The orders will tarnish our image in the Muslim world, making us seem uncaring and hard-hearted.

CAIR is part of the muslim brotherhood, an enemy of America.

So, it appears they're declaring war on the Trump Administration.

The response to CAIR should always be, “leave, you aren’t welcome here”.

Yup! This time maybe tthere will understand the message that Muslims are NOT WELCOME in America. They have NOTHING to contribute to our culture or our way of life. Let them go to all the Muslim countries that refuse to welcome them.

Never before have members of a religion come here for the purpose of mass murder.

“Make no mistake – whatever language is used in President Trump’s executive orders on refugees, immigration and visa programs – Muslims are the sole targets of these orders.”

No argument on that. Why? Because muslims are also the sole terrorists, in most of the world.

And self-defense is a really, really great idea.

Founder of CAIR Omar Ahmad:

“If you choose to live here (in America) … you have a responsibility to deliver the message of Islam,” he said.
Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant, he said. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth, he said.

Muslims have also been the big beneficiaries of these phony “refugee” schemes

But we don’t hear CAIR bitching about that

Just like in Europe.
