On Point: CAIR's blighted rep

These days, CAIR spends most of its time portraying the United States as a nation slipping into the throes of bigotry, intolerance and anti-Muslim repression.

Sure beats addressing the murder and mayhem muslims by voluntary admission are committing daily worldwide, killing, on average, dozens of innocents.

But we're wise to that.

Personally, the only response I make now to ludicrously absurd statements by the sandmaggots is:

Don't be silly!

Tancredo should be drummed out of the Republican Party for this... < /sarcasm>

While they're at it, maybe they can give us the lowdown on why Portland, the Shangri-la of smart growth, ranks a shocking seventh among U.S. cities with the lowest percentage of kids under 18.

That's an easy question to answer. Smart growth means you don't have kids. Then thee is no added pressure on the environment.

Way to go Tom Tancredo!

Is he the only politician that hasn't succumbed to Political Correctness? When will our leaders admit that Islam is a terrorist cult and CAIR is its PR mouthpiece.

Someone described CAIR as "duplicitous". It is an excellent description of that organization. The description applies equally well to the Palestinians.

Let's wrap that up.

islam = duplicitous

This seems like a pretty good prayer for The Council on American-Islamic Relations, but I do not think that the god of Islam is the same as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington-based civil rights organization, is running a TV ad and a petition-drive called "Not in the Name of Islam," which repudiates terrorism. In New York and other cities, mosque leaders have joined advisory committees created by the FBI to build relations between law enforcement and their local communities.

"We pray for the defeat of extremism and terrorism," the scholars wrote. "We pray for the safety and security of our country, the United States, and its people. We pray for the safety and security of all inhabitants of our planet.

"We pray for the safety and security of all inhabitants of our planet."

The same prayer they pray for the State of Israel and Jews worldwide?

Point taken...I was trying really hard not to generalize, but you made me realize how stupid that is.

When over 70% of Moslems worldwide agree with the concept of suicide bombing, why am I walking on eggshells trying not to offend them?

"eb Bush sent a support letter to CAIR in May.

I'm not surprised ...... maybe he bought GW's line that it's a "religion of peace"?

Does anyone know if Jeb went up to washington to celebrate Ramadan with GW?

"This time U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo got it right. Meet with representatives of the Council on American-Islamic Relations? Not on your life, replied truculent Tom"


Go tom!!!!!

Thank god Tancredo has some balls, most Republicans would have issued an "apology" after saying what he did!!!

Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Qur'an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth"
Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR

You might be a fanatic if.....................What causes fanaticism and why is it dangerous?

[Just A Nobody]

Wow, thanks for sharing. You make excellent points.
