"Islamaphobia" implies fear. Prager is obviously not fearful.

CAIR is a cousin of the ACLU and an enabler of terrorism.

It mixes Islamofascism with left-wing radicalism.

Attacking talk-show hosts who happen to be conservative make me think more and more that CAIR is merely a left-wing hit group using Islam as a cover.

Actually a phobia is an irrational fear. It is not irrational to fear islamofascism--the threat from it is very real.

They dishonor Islam by getting angry at the slightest offense.

I disagree. They honor the teachings & in doing so betray islam's unspoken (except inside mosques) requirement for genocide. CAIR exists only to muddy the waters while islam's strength grows.

could have honored the fact that America’s values are religiously based if he had brought a Bible along with his Koran to his swearing-in ceremony

He couldn't do that. Muslims believe the Bible is a crass forgery.

Exactly, Islam brings together in shria the ultimate elements for undermining the West. First, the moderate arm "they are just like us" used to lull the West into acceptance, second, the military arm, which it uses terror to undermine stability of the victim state and prevent the emergence (through assasination) of real moderation in Islam, and third the installation of the shria law which permanently subjugates the non-muslim population.

While I strongly disagreed with Dennis on this tempest in a teapot, to accuse him of bigotry is ridiculous.
We're seeing a couple of things in this
1 CAIR fund raiseing again..or maybe I should say still as they never stop.
2 (here I'm speaking more generaly of society) In debate in the public square people are no longer allowed to be just wrong, if you say something or take a position that someone disgrees with you can't just be wrong, you must be vilified.
3 We are like Pavlov's Dogs...ie Dennis says something ding ding goes the bell CAIR starts to salivate. So they must respond (otherwise the funders in Saudi Arabia will begin to wonder what they're spending their money on)
CAIR Say's something ding ding goes the bell then some on the right start to salivate..ietake a double shot of testosterone, thump their chests and stomping around waving their arms, and in general making fools of themselves.

I thought Bush said we wouldn't let any country harbor terrorists and their enablers. Yet here they plot amongst us.

Some war.

From one of the links in the article -

"The truth is that everyone with a conscience has questions about Muslims and Islam. But the most powerful religion in America, the religion of tolerance, has rendered it almost impossible to ask any such questions. Most people are so afraid of being branded intolerant that the most natural and goodhearted questions are only posed by the handful who have the courage to do so (usually conservative Christians).


"But good Muslims should welcome fair questions and not dismiss them as manifestations of bigotry. Most Americans have no a priori view of Islam. As far as they are concerned, it is one more religion that its practitioners ought to be able to practice in peace just as the members of every other faith in America do."

This was what Prager said. It is true that most Americans had no a priori view of Islam. But as they have taken CAIR's suggestion up and learned, they are coming to the realization that Islam is not a religion compatible with America. The only "peace" taught in the Qur'an is one where everyone lives under Islam's "beneficence."

Forget it.

Strictly speaking, you cannot dishonor that which lacks honor.

I guess the right needs to get used to being vilified. ;)

Some Mullah with 75 followers (or even 750,000 followers) says something about killing the infidels and and we get our panties in a bunch. We're like Pavlov's Dogs.
It's just something that occured to me a while ago. (As I recall) some Immam in Saudi Arabia said something about killing the "Zionists & the Crusaders, and the thread got 100's of views and replys..most of which involved chest thumping.

Even Steve Emerson has expressed serious doubts and concerns about CAIR. Look at how many of the people that were, or are, on their board, that had connections with terrorist organizations.

Most posters and readers here on FR are on the right or a bit right of center. We enjoy open debate on just about any topic.

Most of the Christian right have the same take on open discussion. Only by examining beliefs or positions can you hammer out the truth. The Bible is God's truth as heard by those who were chosen holy men at those times, but the Bible has many passages from many different times that say seemingly contradictory things. Only active learning and thought can find the way to truth and only an open mind can discern truth.

Ok. Next time we won't pay any attention. Just like before 9/11.

I think we already had the discussion about the "bomb Mecca" and "kill all mooslims" comments. There may be some who fit the "Pavlov's dog" description, but I think the majority have put a lot of time into actually studying the religion. For good reason.

We already have our hands full with the PC leftists using the legal system against us. Do you think it is wise to allow Muslim organizations to do the same?

Even Prager is more PC than I care for. Truth is not politically correct. Unfortunately, too many Americans are still sleeping through what is a very real threat.
