The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today urged American Muslims and other people of conscience to offer whatever assistance they can to help alleviate the suffering of those impacted by Hurricane Katrina.
This week, Katrina left a trail of death and destruction along the Gulf Coast. Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco is declaring Wednesday a day of prayer.
In a statement, the Washington-based Islamic civil rights and advocacy group said:
"We join Gov. Blanco in urging Americans of all faiths to pray for the victims of this unprecedented national disaster. As stated in the Quran, Islam's revealed text: 'Seek help with patience and prayer: for God is with those who are patient in adversity.' (2:153) We also offer condolences to the loved ones of those who died as a result of the hurricane's impact and urge everyone to contribute whatever they can, in both financial and human resources, to help alleviate the ongoing suffering."
CAIR asked mosques and Islamic centers throughout the Untied States to hold special blood drives, prayers and fundraising efforts for disaster relief.
CAIR, America's largest Muslim civil liberties group, has 31 offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.
Muslim charities offering assistance to the victims include Islamic Relief ( http://irw.org/katrina/ ) and ICNA Relief ( http://icnarelief.org/ ).
THe price is to high, keep it!
To all mooselimbs worldwide:
Thanks but no thanks. BTW, maybe the mooselimbs are envious of the damage caused and only wished their bombs could do the same......
I'll stop the rant now.....
I welcome their help. Maybe they could have some influence on OPEC to increase oil production.
"(CAIR's) mission is to enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding."
Says nothing about them cleaning up their own back yard first by "defeating terrorism".
Keep your money.
Maybe they can break out their scimitars and start chopping off the hands of looters.
So 1% of their money designated for terror and murder will be diverted to relief?
Shove it.
And I shall leave it at that, for to say more would probably get me banned from the forum.
This may be a signal for a terrorist attack.
What , no puke alert !
They really don't CAIR for or about infidels .
I posted my reply to the wrong thread, I am an idiot. Please ignore me.
And at what price? Thanks, but no thanks--go back to what you do best, CAIR--justifying islamic atrocities, excoriating the Jews, whining that no one loves you, converting as many prison inmates as you can get your grubby hands on, etc, etc.
CAIR can go to hell along with their moon god. F'em and the muzzies that belong to their death cult...
oh BTW CAIR muzzies..
I'll be going to NO shortly...
Look forward to any assistance I can offer you.
