Nihad Awad, CAIR’s national executive director, urged state and local governments to erase every symbol and every vestige of Confederate history immediately.

“A fitting response to the deadly terror attack on anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville would be for officials in states and cities nationwide to immediately announce that every street, every school, every flag, and every public memorial honoring those who took up arms in defense of white supremacy and slavery will be removed or have its name changed to instead honor those who fought for civil rights,” Awad said in a statement to The Daily Caller.

“Removal of these memorials would be a small step forward in turning the page on the darkest period in our nation’s history,” Awad also said.

Council on American-Islamic Relations: Tear Down Every Confederate Memorial
____________________________________________________

Being from the North and not too fond of the Confederate flag, if anybody tears down more Memorials, I’ll buy a Confederate flag and fly it.

USA: We may like what you say, but you have a right to say it. Snowflakes, be ready to melt.

I remember when that happened..around then they killed that leader who was against the Taliban. Blew him up with a TV camera.

Then 9/11 happened.

Are you listening to Rush? He says now they also want to dismantle the Jefferson memorial. I guess next will me the Washington memorial then the constitution because it was created by slave owners.

yes who better to tell us how OUR CULTURE should deal with our history of DEMOCRATS oppressing black people than a bunch of terrorist funding unindited co-conspirators from a culture that still keeps African slaves who are adamant that members of their culture never assimilate to our culture.

If they get their way, the name of our Nation’s Capital will be changed from “Washington DC” to “Lincoln DK”.

Ditto what he said.

Once the dust settles, I expect the Conservative pundits to start calling these loons on their intellectual dishonesty, soon.

But that assumes these idiots have brains.

POTUS is no longer giving a cut of the economy to CAIR.

All they have now is free advertising from Big Media, and have to make the most from THEIR base — intolerant anti-American racist bigots.

I have often thought about why the Democrat party is allowed to even exist in America. They openly and actively call for the overthrow of our current system of Government and installing their own form. Their entire political agenda is anti-American, seditious and treasonous.

Good pic, but I totally disagree with “petulant form of intolerance.” It is FAR, FAR worse than that. It is part of the communist revolution...the first thing they do to create a “new man” is destroy all memories of the past. Tear down statues, rip history out of curricula, destroy/burn books, defile institutions. All in the current playbook. I’ve never seen it this bad or thought so many people would endorse this. All part of completely wiping out white achievements, culture, western civilization, and, ultimately, the entire white race.

STATUE OF LIBERTY

Save our Statue of Liberty from being torn down.

Rename it the Statue of Immigration and nobody will touch it. But Liberty, it is a goner.

Someone should post hundreds of Confederate flags on their website.
