For those who are still not familiar with the group CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, I will provide some background information.
Founded in 1994, CAIR is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has thirty-one chapters and regional offices in the United States and Canada. CAIR was founded by Nihad Awad, Omar Ahwad, Rafiq Jaber, and other former members of the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP). Jaber is also the current spokesman for the Bridgeview Mosque Foundation in Illinois; a mosque tied to the IAP and to the Quranic Literacy Institute named in the 2004 drive-by murder of David Boim.*
The IAP and Quranic Literacy Institute were ordered by the court to pay Boim's family $156M in restitution; money that had previously been raised in the U.S. as "charity" donations by these Islamic organizations. U.S. donations were used to finance terrorist activities, and subsequently for the results of said terrorist activities -- most interesting.
The IAP has often been referred to as the American wing of Hamas, a terrorist group that has vowed to destroy Israel. Of interest, Hamas senior leader Mahmoud al-Zahar, in a recent interview with Arab newspaper Asharq Al Awsat, said: "We do not and will not recognize a state called Israel. This land is the property of all Muslims in all parts of the world. Let Israel die!" Suffice to say, this is not an organization that has any desire or any plans for peace.
CAIR currently has enough political and "PC" (political-correctness) clout to cow the U.S. political and business establishment...

. The ACLU is working with CAIR and Amnesty International (a decidedly in-my-opinion Marxist group) to defend Ghassan Elashi and his brothers, who were convicted of terrorism.
. In 2001, the ACLU joined CAIR and other Islamic support groups to challenge the detention of potential terrorists.
. In 2003, the ACLU joined CAIR and other Muslim advocacy groups to challenge portions of the Patriot Act.
. Also in 2003, the Ohio chapter of the ACLU awarded its yearly "Liberty Flame Award" to the Ohio chapter of CAIR "for contributions to the advancement and protection of civil liberties."
. In 2004, the ACLU joined CAIR in demanding the FBI make its files public as to [its] surveillance of Chicago Muslim groups and 'expressed special concern today over the FBI's targeting of Muslims and Arabs in the Chicago community'. Note: Remember it was two Illinois groups (the IAP and Quranic Literacy Institute) that were convicted of terrorist murder.
. In North Carolina 2005, the ACLU joined forces with CAIR toward including swearing on the Koran (as opposed to the Bible) for Muslims. Note: The push for Shari'a law in Canada has already become a strong force. Will the U.S. be next?
Jihadists and Sheehadists..
CAIR = Collection of Anti-American Islamic Radicals
I like it!
ACLU = Anti-Christ Lucifer's Union
CNS NEWS.com: "ISLAMIC GROUP CALLS FOR USE OF KORAN TO TAKE OATH" by Melanie Hunter (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "An Islamic civil rights and advocacy group is calling on North Carolina judges to allow people to use the Koran when taking an oath, saying the use of the Bible exclusively represents "an inappropriate state endorsement of religion." The request by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) comes after Guilford County judges said they would not allow use of Korans in their courtrooms.") (June 21, 2005)
CNS NEWS.com: "FREE KORANS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE" by Susan Jones (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Over the weekend, CAIR held a conference in the Washington area on the causes and remedies of "Islamophobia and anti-Americanism."") (May 17, 2005)
Hey, most everyone thinks and does stupid crap when they're young and dumb.
Of course...
The enemy of my enemy is my friend....
Islamo-fascists and Marxists are allies in the war to destroy the America of our founders...
There are others who are worse...the Anti Christ 3rd way NWO folks who use both of them for example....
CAIR should have been destroyed long time ago as an organization. I think it is in one way our fault for not taking action against terror ideology facilitators such as CAIR.
I would imagine they will work together until Islam prevails. After that the Muslims will start beheading the ACLU, one lawyer at a time.
The enemies are gathering....
