Michael Graham fires back at CAIR
Dhimmi Watch ^ | 7/25/05 | Michael Graham

TUESDAY, JULY 26, 2005

CAIR WANTS MY JOB! Well, they're still at it. In today's Washington Post-Democrat, CAIR continues its attack on me and on the idea of free speech. Perhaps the funniest part of this hit piece is when CAIR's spokesflak, Ibrahim Hooper, expresses his astonishment that talk radio hosts are allowed to make controversial statements...on the AIR! He expresses his regret that, other than attacking me personally, there's really not much CAIR can do.

Yeah, too bad America ain't like Saudi Arabia (where CAIR gets part of its funding), right Mr. Hooper?

Meanwhile, neither the Washington Post-Democrat nor the folks at CAIR offer any facts to contradict my "controversial" statement that Islam, as it is constituted and practiced today, provides theological comfort and cover for terrorism. While I've spent my time (see below) quoting facts, poll results and headlines, they've been screaming that I'm a bigot and should be silenced by my employers at 630 WMAL.

Well, here's another fact to add to the mix: Mr. Hooper STILL will not come on my show. He's been invited to co-host the show for an entire hour, but refuses to do so. Why? Is it because he doesn't want to answer questions about the actions of prominent imams, particularly the Wahhabis and Salafis who support CAIR? Is it because he can't answer the question "If the problem is 'extremism' and not Islam as it is currently constituted, why are ALL of the suicide bombers Muslim? Is that just a bizarre coincidence?"

Obviously, I will have a lot more to say on today's show....

The response from Graham was posted in its entirety in a comment below the main Dhimmi watch article.

Here's the gem piece If the Boy Scouts of America had 1,000 Scout troops, and 10 of them practiced suicide bombings, then the BSA would be considered a terrorist organization. If the BSA refused to kick out those 10 troops, that would make the case even stronger. If people defending terror repeatedly turned to the Boy Scout handbook and found language that justified and defended murder -- and the scoutmasters responded by saying "Could be" -- the Boy Scouts would have been driven out of America long ago.

Today, Islam has whole sects and huge mosques that preach terror. Its theology is openly used to give the murderers their motives. Millions of its members give these killers comfort. The question isn't how dare I call Islam a terrorist organization, but rather why more people do not.

CAIR is an Islamic front organization and should be dismantled and its members deported.

"....10 of them practiced suicide bombings,"

Damn!
I would like to INSIST that all Islamanazis "practice" their suicide bombings in the Mosques -- many times, before they try it out on innocents....

I wonder -- how many times can an Islamanazi committ suicide before they actually die?

Semper Fi

No doubt. ...And perhaps he doesn't want to be called to task for this statement of his:

"I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future."  - Ibrahim Hooper

....or this statement by Omar Ahmad (Co-founder of CAIR):

"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." - Omar Ahmad

It's about damn time someone spoke the truth concerning this "so called" religion. The Boy Scouts analogy was crystal clear, and his remarks on Islam can't be refuted because it's the truth.

Council on American-Islamic Relations

There's something weird about the name of that organization.

I wonder if Hoop has any pointers for Islam as to how it can better relate to America. Or is his only funtion in life bitching about America? New organizational acronym - BAA.

Unfortunately, it's just practice, not full dress rehearsals.

If you click on the link to read the entire article, you will find comments posted on the bottom. There is one in particular, posted by scaramouoche that I am including below.

The Protocols is a Czarist fabrication which purports to document a covert Jewish conspiracy to control the world. As we well know, there IS such a religiously-based conspiracy, but it is neither secret nor Jewish.

In fact, it is interesting how some of the canards which have long been hurled at the Jews turn out to apply to this other conspiracy. For instance, the notion that the Jews can't integrate into other countries--and represent a threat to them--because their primary allegiance is to their religion. When given the opportunity, Jews have had little difficulty in fitting in to the larger society, but it would be more difficult to make this claim about Muslims in Europe, in particular, the current crop of young people, who declare that their religion comes before all else.

An associated charge is that Jews are internationalists who feel that they have more in common with other Jews in foreign countries than they do with people in their own countries. This is perceived as a potential danger, as iniquitous, conspiratory Jews are said to be spreading their tentacles throughout the world. Again, totally bogus, but while such a charge has nothing to do with real Jews (as opposed to "the Jews" of irrational fantasy) it does pertain to at least a portion of Muslims who have succumbed to the lure--and allure--of violent jihad. And you can't get more international than the jihad, which aims to make Islam the dominant power in the world.

But I guess Ibrahim Hooper would call me an Islamaphobe for making these observations.

Very, very good observation. Does it remind you of any other groups that are very good at accusing others of doing that which in reality they do themselves.

No wonder the liberal apologists feel such sympathy for these terrorists. Birds of a feather I would say.

Best Regards

Sergio

You're reading my mind.

I'm a big Graham fan! While I don't necessarily agree with everything he says,...the guy doesn't just spout off without thinking about it. He's smart and funny, and in this is instance proving a point.

As he goes after Islam - making his case that it should be considered a terrorist organization - Muslims begin to call in to the show to take issue with him: "Islam means peace." "Muslims love peace and are a very spiritual people." from here Graham asks them to condemn terrorism, to condemn the murder of innocent women and children around the world and specifically in Israel. This has been going on since Friday. I have been listening on and off and have yet to hear a single Muslim caller say that they reject terrorism, period.

They fight like hell to qualify their statements or justify their aggression, but Graham beats them down every time. He's performing a great service by educating his listeners. Personally, I admire his tenacity, but I would be concerned about my own welfare with some of these wackos,...which I surmised was the reason that most moderate Muslims don't reject Jihad in the open. Given that they have had a public forum for several days, and have the ability to remain anonymous maybe such Muslims do not exist.

You must have missed it, but the ACLU already thinks the Boy Scouts are a terrorist organization.

There is NOTHING controversial in what Michael Graham said! It is the Truth!

They can't offer any FACTS to counter it because there aren't any!

The Koran is THE terrorist handbook and Islam is the ideology that practices it. The truth is there for all to see. It's about time people forget about Political Correctness and start speaking the truth!

Thank you Michael Graham for having the courage to speak the Truth. Watch your back...I'm sure a fatwa is on your head!
