Muslim Leader Blames Senator Boxer for a Death Threat Against Him

KCBS ^ | January 6, 2007

[West Coast Conservative]

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 Her officer later rescinded the award after investigating an on-line report that accused Elkarra’s group of terrorist sympathies.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.

What is the deal that Muslims have with dogs?

[mathurine]

PMIIDGAS. Means pardon me if I don't give a shit, and I rarely do where mohammedans and democrats are whining about things.

They think they are dirty and impure... IMO best reason to distrust and dislike Muslims, anyone who doesn't like dogs isn't to be trusted.

[lndrvr1972]

That is crazy has anyone here ever flown overseas with a group of Muslims? They stink. My dogs at least get a bath once a month.

Here is what the terrorist organization CAIR is "upset" over and I think it is awesome:

NO KIDDING!

"Oh hi. You look like a nice person with a nice-sounding organization. Let me give you this award."

Someone should give her a background on Hamas before she does this again.

I'm glad CAIR got to see it! Yes! I hope they reviewed it carefully. Just in case they think the rest of us are all as clueless as Boxer. Excellent. Thanks for the link.

Incredibly funny having the same libtard logic of this muslim 'victim' being used against a libtard leader.

Muslims want their women do dress like bandits.

Basim, a 2003 graduate in Political Science from UC Berkeley

As Executive Director, Basim Elkarra has defended someone who trained for jihad in a Pakistani terrorist camp; he has defended an imam who urged a Pakistani crowd to wage attacks on America; and he has defended an imam who was attempting to build an Islamic school for the purpose of teaching children how to commit violent acts against Americans. Also, Elkarra has described Israel as a "racist" and "apartheid" state, and he has moderated an event that featured a Hamas operative who spent five years in an Israeli prison and who is currently on trial in the U.S.

Muhammed did not like dogs, and he told the people that the angels would not visit them if they had a dog.

Islamophobia is a good thing and it should be spread throughout the U.S. and the world.

Phobia is fear, fear heightens awareness, everyone should be aware of what Islam really is, a cult. This is a truth that is confirmed by it's very actions - conversion by violence, hate, murder, repression.

"Convert or have your throat slit" is a tenet all muslims believe is just and right.

They wish for all of this to remain in the darkness for the darkness hates the light.

They cry out as victims of Islamophobia but their silence in recognizing terrorist organizations for what they are keeps their true beliefs hidden in the darkness.

They wish to pass off legitimate fear as an illegitimate phobia. Don't be fooled, your phobia is justified, it is legitimate and well founded and you should stand firm in it.

Where Islam is concerned be afraid, be very afraid, and act accordingly.
