All of a sudden, we are seeing a rush of "sweet peaceful muslim" articles in the press, and muslims starting to speak out (weakly) against the supposed "hijacking" of their so called religion.
But someone had to raise the issue that sooner or later there will be reprisals, and Tancredo put his career (and life) on the line to do so.
After we get the "sweet peaceful muslims" all denouncing the terrorists, we can pressure them to turn them in, and start editing that book of hate they call a koran.
---"If they want to talk to mainstream, moderate Muslims, this is the organization to talk to," Corey Saylor, government affairs director for CAIR, told the Denver paper. ---
I hate to post the same thing on multiple threads, but here are some quotes from CAIR (moderate???) from an earlier FRhead:
CAIR's (The Council on American-Islamic Relations, Inc.) goals are clear, as indicated by its leaders' sometimes revealing comments:
Ihsan Bagby, a future CAIR board member, stated in the late 1980s that Muslims "can never be full citizens of this country," referring to the United States, "because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions and ideologies of this country."
Ibrahim Hooper, the future CAIR spokesman, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune on April 4, 1993: "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."
Omar Ahmad, CAIR's chairman, announced in July 1998 that "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran . . . should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth."
I think he understands that.
"We work regularly with government officials. We've trained FBI members [in sensitivity to Muslims]. I don't think you can get more mainstream than that," Saylor said.
Maybe this is why the FBI failed to stop 9/11.
Know what CAIR should stand for?
CAIR-Cover for the Assistance of Islamic Radicals.
Hey Tom , don't forget Medina .. .. ..
"The US Embassy in Bangladesh called his remarks "offensive to the United States government and to the American people."
Bulls$$t, I am not offended. Since when has the State Department ever called any other remarks from a member of Congress offensive? I thought Rice was going to put some backbone into that organization.
