Great article. Cair has, I would say, almost unlimited funds to carry on their dirty work.
Excerpt:
[Jamal Hasan of the Council for Democracy and Tolerance explains that CAIR's goal is to spread "Islamic hegemony the world over by hook or by crook."[9] Kamal Nawash, head of Free Muslims Against Terrorism, finds that CAIR and similar groups condemn terrorism on the surface while endorsing an ideology that helps foster extremism, adding that "almost all of their members are theocratic Muslims who reject secularism and want to establish Islamic states."]
And on the way they're affecting law with the ACLU and the Islamic Lawyer Organizations. If you knew the increase of muslims in law schools over the last ten years...
They took a poll of Detroit mosque in a study in 2004:
On page 37 of the report is this:
Mosque participants were asked, whether they agree or disagree with the statement, "Shari'ah should be the law of the land in Muslim countries?" Shari'ah refers to Islamic law.
Apply Islamic Law in Muslim Lands
Strongly Agree — 59%
Somewhat Agree — 22%
Somewhat Disagree — 8%
Strongly Disagree — 3%
Don't Know — 8%
If accurate, this is extremely disturbing. It means, in effect, that most survey participants oppose democracy in Iraq and elsewhere in the Islamic world, and want to see Sharia oppression of women and non-Muslim dhimmis instituted throughout Muslim lands.
It also raises questions, unanswered by the survey, about what kind of government these survey participants would like ultimately to see in the United States.
But this is what the press sold it as:
Bagby’s study received fair media coverage and some headlines dutifully reflected the official line:
• Detroit Free Press: “Muslims' goals: Be active, be moderate.”
• Detroit News: “Metro Muslims eschew radicalism: Study shows most hold moderate views, want to integrate.”
• Scripps Howard News Service: “Survey Finds Muslims are Moderates.”
In addition, before the study’s release, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the leading militant Islamic organization in the United States, trumpeted the results on its website; and its spokesman, Ibrahim Hooper, lost no time exploiting the alleged results of Bagby’s study. One article describes him pointing “to a new survey of the views of mosque leaders and congregants in Detroit … as an example of the fundamental moderation of U.S. Muslims.”
---Moderate? 81%?
