including practicing for new atrocities (eg. the Imams on the flight last month).
Where is THEIR apology?

A Muslim group is asking Virginia Republican Rep. Virgil Goode Jr. to apologize after he told hundreds of his constituents that more Muslims will follow Rep.-elect Keith Ellison, D-Minn., to Congress if strict immigration laws aren't passed.
"The Muslim representative from Minnesota was elected by the voters of that district and if American citizens don't wake up and adopt the Virgil Goode position on immigration there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran," Goode wrote.
The letter was written to constituents who contacted Goode after Ellison said he planned to bring his Quran, the Muslim holy book.
Goode, an attorney and former state senator who was first elected to Congress in 1996, said he wants to "stop illegal immigration totally and reduce legal immigration and end the diversity visas policy pushed hard by President Clinton and allowing many persons from the Middle East to come to this country."
Corey Saylor, national legislative director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said Goode's "Islamophobic remarks send a message of intolerance that is unworthy of anyone elected to public office."
CAIR officials noted that Ellison traces his family roots in the United States back to 1742.
"There can be no reasonable defense for such bigotry," Saylor said, adding that Goode should apologize.
Linwood Duncan, Goode's press secretary, said Goode sent the letter to hundreds of constituents who contacted his office after Ellison disclosed his plans. About the same time, the head of the local Sierra Club contacted Goode about a different issue, and the letter was accidentally sent to him in response. The Sierra Club official gave a copy of the letter to a reporter.
"The congressman is not apologizing," Duncan said. "He stands by the letter."

Good!
Goode spokesman Linwood Duncan said Wednesday that no apology was forthcoming.
"The only statement the congressman has is that he stands by the letter," Duncan said.
bump for no apology!!
He should apologize for not using stronger language and defining why Muslims are a problem.
Where is THEIR apology?
Thus demonstrating that CAIR officials are dumb as a rock. Goode was referring to the VOTERS, many of whom are immigrants and sons/daughters of immigrants. He wasn't saying Ellison is an immigrant.
Idiots.
Getting a bit pushy, aren't they? Sounds like another trial run to see what they can get away with.
Heads are going to roll for this.
I am really geting sick of CAIR. What's the exit strategy?
****CAIR officials noted that Ellison traces his family roots in the United States back to 1742****
Yes : Perhaps his family has been in this country a long time---BUT they werent Muslim.
This fool fell for Farrakhans tripe of racial hatred.
He isnt a true Muslim he is a racial bigot using Islam to justify his hatred.
Islam the cult of hate fits right in with black bigotry.
CAIR's exit strategy? When we are all Muslims.
I just got back from Spain, and the Spanish equivalent of CAIR (yes, there is one, also funded by the Saudis) is demanding the "return" of the mosque in Cordoba, which had been converted into a Catholic cathedral after the Reconquista but was in any case built on the site of a Catholic church the Muslims destroyed when they invaded. They also have plans to build the biggest mosque in Europe down there and are saying it is designed to be a place of pilgrimage for Muslims, the new European Mecca. The Socialist government is politely agreeing, although the local citizens are up in arms.
Without people like the Rep Duncan, that's going to happen here, too. They come in legally and simply install themselves, and then it becomes a fait accompli. Remember that any place they have a mosque is, in their opinion, Muslim territory and thus can be considered conquered territory, even though there are (at that point) few or no Muslims in the area.
Ooops, I meant Rep. Goode...
His roots may indeed go back that far. But they weren't Muslim "roots." He's a convert to Islam, brought up as a Baptist, IIRC.
Good for him. He should be muzzled for speaking the truth.
BTW, these barbarians can never assimilate in any civilized society.
