Thank you for your informative post, V. Unfortunately, though we understand quite well the motives of CAIR, political correctness prevents anyone from closing it down. President Bush has entertained members of CAIR and choses to turn the other cheek. He wants to portray them as the "religion of peace". That mistake on his part will cost more American lives than we can imagine, and probably our entire country.
In our country, the governments in 1980's did exactly the same. They were telling "We are a democratic country where every one is equal, so Muslims are also our citizens". The idea of those previous governments was to assimilate the Muslims by "convincing" them. The way the previous governments tried to convince them is by being easy on them giving extra freedoms and not efficiently prosecuting their murderous activities. Honestly, india has only waken up after the massive bombings in Bomday in the 1990's. Since then the people of India have dethroned the government in the elections and continuously elected a strong "pro-India and pro-Security to Indian citizens" governments until to this date.
This has to happen in American governments. The American government should realize the threat they are facing with out any selfish ambitions. Because if the people in the government offices in America are making decisions that will put regular American lives in danger, then it is not good for America.
I am from a simple country. If a person like me in India and a government people in a country like India had realized the islamic threat they are facing ten years ago, it absolutely amazes me why American government want to allow so many people using immigration methods. you see these people come to America and then they demand special rights and send dollars to Muslim terrorist organisations in the name of charity. America absolutely needs to wake up and pre-emptively fight back every pro-Islamic propaganda on its soil. If that does not happen, I apologize, but I must say America is bound to loose its freedom.
Learn from India's kashmir murders, Beslan murders, Indonesia murders and the murders that took place on your own soil on 9/11. You have to wake up. Forgive me for saying this, but truth is harsh.
