The executive director of the Sacramento chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations said he believes a death threat against him was fueled by Senator Barbara Boxer’s actions.
Boxer had commended Basim Elkarra’s chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations for the group’s efforts to improve relations between Christians, Jews, minority groups and the FBI. Her officer later rescinded the award after investigating an on-line report that accused Elkarra’s group of terrorist sympathies.
While investigating the accusations, Boxer learned two former CAIR members were sentenced to prison for crimes related to terrorist groups, according to her communications director, Natalie Ravaitz. Ravaitz said CAIR had also refused to label Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist organizations.
Elkarra claims Boxer was misinformed and has caved into the rise of Islamophobia in the United Stated.
"It empowers the extremists. Just recently we saw a video that came out, talking about open season on Muslims. It's all over the Internet and people are bragging about killing Muslims. This has to stop. It's unacceptable. Islamophobia is real, it's here and we have to make sure our elected officials speak out against it."
CAIR maintains it opposes terrorist activities and Elkarra said the people Boxer gathered her information from are extremists themselves, but anti-Muslim.
"She was quoting from these individuals from Florida who have these hate and extreme right-wing Websites and she also consulted with anti-Muslim bigots. It's really unfortunately she didn't contact us and see our side of the story."
Elkarra received his death threat through e-mail, and the FBI is now conducting an investigation.
Boxer is in a little difficulty.
With the power of the majority, comes attention and responsibility.
Let the musli chase after the dems, for a change.
It will be interesting to see if this "you, the victim, are at fault"
reasoning of the Muslims will force Boxer into a few lucid moments.
"Just recently we saw a video that came out, talking about open season on Muslims. It's all over the Internet and people are bragging about killing Muslims."
One anti-moslem video as opposed to the many that are put out buy moslem extremists complete with killings, beheadings and incitement to more of the same. Sorry but I am devoid of sympathy.
You gotta love it when CAIR starts beating up the liberal Dims. Boxer should be issuing a politically correct apology any day now. LOL
Pass the popcorn....
Do you mean to tell me she's just NOW finding out about that? We've known about it for well over 4 years.
"OFF WITH HER HEAD!!" (just joking, mind you)
COOL!
I suppose it wouldn't be just the eensie-weensiest un-PC on my part to point out that California's two senators are Jewish women.
Now where does THAT leave them vis-a-vis the Koran Krowd?
Yep, ain't that a knee slapper.
How long will it take for them to realize that:
The islamo / muzzies really do hate everyone, not just GWB and the 'Pubbies?
That they really hate this country and it's culture?
That they would gladly kill you at the first opportunity?
Nancy is smart. I'm sure it won't take her long to figure it out. We will know she did when the media stops talking about it.
Sooner or later the dems and liberals will realize that the islamics are not their friends. I'm not sure when though, they attacked a liberal stronghold with NYC.
Some days I think its not the 14th century they are stuck in but the terrible two's.
It's racism. She may get stoned for her recension.
If I thought that Babs and the other dems would use this as evidence that we really are at war...and our country really does need to fight a war against these people...
I would be cheering about this.
But, she is such a box of rox...that she will do something to appease them.
As long as the muslims vote for democrats, the democrats will let them kill whoever they want.
Told ya she was smart!
Nothing but good things to come!!!!!!!!!!!
I do hope CAIR is scared. I hope they're frightened. I hope they walk out of their homes and wonder if someone is going to do to them what their muslim terrorist buddies do in hundreds of locations worldwide. I hope they wonder if every non-muslim they walk by or meet is about to do them harm....just like millions of non-muslims wonder if every muslim male, 20-45 yrs. of age, is going to do them harm.
I hope CAIR is scared and frightened to death. It has been their own actions, and inactions that has made America, and the West, less secure and less safe.
