Islam-Oped: A Sensible Way to Describe Terrorists
The Council on American-Islamic Relations ^ | May 14, 2006 | Parvez Ahmed

Posted on 05/17/2006 8:51:10 PM PDT by sageb1

"Unfortunately, all too often "Islam" and "terrorism" are juxtaposed in news reports and editorials. A word search on news stories published in major newspapers over the past decade shows that reporters are hundred times more likely to associate Islam with terrorism or militancy than all other faiths combined. Such lopsided portrayal is indicative of deep-seated misunderstandings about Islam, and sometimes just plain prejudice. Surely all terrorists are not Muslim, neither are all Muslims terrorists."

Unfortunately for CAIR, all too often Islam and terrorism are juxtaposed in fact. Hardly surprising or noteworthy that the words get justaposed in print.

"Muslims worldwide are the primary victims of terror."

At the hands of other muslims, notice a pattern here?

Until I see muslims in the street protesting,and I'm not talking about hiding behind a mexican flag inciting that other rable la raza. I'm talking about turning in those they claim to be terrorist and not part of their islam.

Until I see this islam is just shorthand for terrorism.

"Surely all terrorists are not Muslim, neither are all Muslims terrorists."

They mean,"Only good Muslims are terrorists."
C.A.I.R. needs to be eliminated.
It's like maintaining a Rights for Nazi Victory office or Center For the Advancement Of the Japanese Empire during WWII.
Political Correctness has led us down the road of suicide.
It disgusts me.

You're absolutely right! That's why I said that they should beware of making it our responsibility. Give no quarter.

Other religions' fanatics are not trying to acquire nukes or wipe out Israel.

Didn't a CAIR exec. get exposed supporting terrorism?

No. Three of them.

CAIR is a Hamas and Islamic Jihad front.

The more I study the Islam and the ME, the more I am convinced that it is the religion that has made the place a fetid snakepit.
