The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) weighed in Saturday on the Confederate flag controversy, calling for the banning of the offending ensign at the Lorain County Fair in Wellington, Ohio. But why would an Islamic advocacy group that doesn’t even consider itself American at all (hence the hyphenated “American-Islamic” in its name, as if they were two distinct entities) care to enter into a conflict over America’s racial divide? CAIR’s officials claim that it’s because of their concern for civil rights. CAIR-Cincinnati Executive Director Karen Dabdoub explained: “Those who wish to traffic in racist symbols that only serve to marginalize their fellow Americans should not be permitted to do so in a public facility at a community celebration. Instead they should seriously consider putting their time and talents toward positive pursuits that make their community stronger and more inclusive.” How the community could become more inclusive by exclusion, she didn’t say. Meanwhile, CAIR’s notoriously prickly National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper was more direct: “Symbols glorifying and honoring white supremacy, slavery and treason should be repudiated by all Americans,

A bunch of jihadist gangsters concerned about civil rights, that's rich! Just who were those "raisins" Mohamhead was referring to in the koran? Even though I was born in daBronx and have no affinity to the Confederate flag, it's shiite like this that tempts me to buy up one, or two, or three....

Erasing American history is useful for communists and jihadists alike.

How about we ban CAIR instead? Better yet, how about we ban Islam?

I bet they sell or will give you an ISIS Flag...................

[Lurkinanloomin]

Get one of these, nobody knows it is the REAL Confederate flag.

[BitWielder1]

Anything that can pit Americans against Americans.

“I bet they sell or will give you an ISIS Flag..”

Exactly

I am waiting for the day WE have to tell about 1 million(??) Chinese in US that they can no longer use the name LEE....

Of course in 150 years the WWI, WWII, Korea & Vietnam wars/conflicts will be verboten to say or ref to.

The WOT and Afghanistan and MIDEAST will still be a continuing ‘battle’ but will be interested to see what the Military looks like then....

Waiting for the new TV Series, The Dukes of Hijab.

Im guessing Kid Rock won't be invited.

I currently fly Old Glory, the POW and Gadsden flags. I’ve occassionally replaced the Gadsden with the Threeper flag. If the Confederate flag is ever banned, I’ll fly nothing but — including g the flag you’ve posted, if I can find one.

[Lurkinanloomin]

LOL!, Love it!

[FlingWingFlyer]

CAIR needs to go home and take all of their hatred with them. There is nothing more obnoxious and dangerous as Muzzie Supremacists.

In progress...

The day after Nikki Haley made her move in SC, I ordered one and have been flying it daily.

(I was born in WI, but have lived in VA my whole adult life, ancestors fought in Union Army)

ESAD CAIR!!!

[Vaquero]

The battle flag is a real confederate flag. It’s a real confederate battle flag. I like it best on a Dodge Charger

[Sacajaweau]

That flag is also FREE SPEECH.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Are they going to ban them, too?
