CAIR ACTION ALERT #451
CONTACT BOEING ABOUT NATIONAL REVIEW'S ATTACK ON PROPHET MUHAMMAD Urge aerospace giant to withdraw ads from neocon magazine
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 3/28/05) - CAIR is calling on American Muslims and other people of conscience to contact aerospace giant Boeing Co. about its advertisements in a magazine that is actively promoting virulently anti-Muslim books that attack Islam and the Prophet Muhammad.
Despite messages of outrage from hundreds of concerned Muslims, National Review magazine continues to promote "The Life and Religion of Mohammed" on its Internet store. The magazine claims the book exposes "the ugly truth about the founder of the world's most violent religion."

According to the promotional materials, the book is a "guide into the dark mind of [the Prophet] Mohammed." The online review states: "[The author] explains why Mohammed couldn't possibly be a true prophet, and reveals the true sources of his 'revelations.'" It quotes the author as claiming: "Mohammed posed as the apostle of God…while his life is marked by innumerable marriages; and great licentiousness, deeds of rapine, warfare, conquests, unmerciful butcheries, all the time invoking God's holy name to sanction his evil deeds…Mohammed again and again justified his rapine and licentiousness with new 'divine revelations.'"
Another book being promoted by National Review, "The Sword of the Prophet," is described as: "What Muslims, multiculturalists, and the media hope you never find out about Islam." The magazine's review claims that the book "gives us the unvarnished, 'politically incorrect' truth about Islam -- including the shocking facts about its founder, Mohammed; its rise through bloody conquest; its sanctioning of theft, deceit, lust and murder."

In a letter sent today to Boeing CEO James A. Bell, CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad wrote: "I would therefore respectfully request that Boeing address the concerns of Muslims worldwide by withdrawing its advertising support from a magazine that actively promotes anti-Muslim hate." A copy of that letter will be sent to ambassadors of Muslim and Arab nations in Washington, D.C. (Boeing has a full back-page ad in the latest issue of National Review.) Awad noted that just today, Boeing announced the delivery of the first two Boeing 777-300ER airplanes to Emirates airlines.

ACTION REQUESTED: (As always, be POLITE. Hostile comments can and WILL be used to further defame Muslims and Islam.)
CONTACT BOEING to request that it reconsider advertising in a magazine that actively promotes anti-Muslim hate and defames the Prophet Muhammad. Remind company executives that Boeing does, or hopes to do billions of dollars worth of business with the Muslim world.
Try as I might, I can't really buy anything from Boeing.
My National Review subscription lapsed two years ago. Time to subscribe again.
"Just renewed mine last week" BUMP.
But you can get or renew your National Review subscription.
What will they do to Boeing if they don't comply?
Do they think there is any love lost given the hiackings of 9/11?
In the name of the USA, contact all bootlickers of CAIR and serve them notice that their backstabbing will no longer be tolerated. Even if they are named Grover Norquist, Jr.
Keep up the good work, Boeing.
Just like CAIR to go after airplanes......
Buy 3 subscriptions for your conservative friends too.
Just another reason to say, "if it's not Boeing, I'm not going."
OXYMORON ALERT!!
Mine lapsed a couple of months ago. I miss it.
Did somebody say time to renew to National Review Digital?

Boeing ping!
Whew! For a minute there, I thought they might have said something like "Kill the infidel!!!"
Yeah, a little pricey for me also.
Sounds like a book I might have to read on the beach this summer.
I'm proud to say I have no idea what it feels like to ride in the tin-can Airbus.
