Group Wants Congressman Virgil Goode to Explain Comments About Muslims

Monday, February 19, 2007

WASHINGTON — A Muslim group said Monday it had invited Rep. Virgil Goode, R-Va., to expand on biting remarks he made last week during debate on a House resolution disapproving of President Bush's decision to send more than 21,000 U.S. troops into Iraq.

The Muslim American Public Affairs Council has "extended this invitation to Congressman Goode to give him a venue to explain his recent comments about Muslims and Islam," MAPAC Executive Director Marc Conaghan said in a statement. MAPAC also asked Goode to share a dialogue with Jamal Badawi, an Islamic and comparative religion scholar.

MAPAC, based in Raleigh, N.C., also did not immediately return messages seeking further comment.

Last week, Goode said the nonbinding resolution would provide "comfort and encourage the radical Muslims who want to destroy our country." He also said Islamic jihadists want U.S. currency to say "In Muhammad We Trust," with an Islamic flag flying over the White House and U.S. Capitol.

Goode's comments are controversial only because they are true.

....and Muzzies and truth don't mix.

His statement seemed pretty clear to me. Radical islamic terrorists want to take over our country and subject us to Sharia law.

Heck, I think CAIR wants to take over our country and subject us to Sharia law.

There's no doubt about it:

"Those who stay in America should be open to society without melting. ....If you choose to live here, you have a responsibility to deliver the message of Islam ...Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."

- Omar Ahmad, Co-Founder of CAIR

Can't say it more clear than that and he is right.

Omar Ahmad, Co-Founder of CAIR and all his followers need their Muslim arses shipped back to whatever country they came from. If any are American born members we can let them pick the Islamic nation of there choice and ship them there. I am sick of these Muslims and their non stop moaning & whining. If they are unable to adapt here to the American way of life & our laws then they ought to go where their belief's are accepted and normal. Why do they need to come here and try to change our way of life? We need to get rid of these people...

These are the clowns (no other word for them) who have a "The National Grassroots Campaign to Fight Terrorism" -- yet when you visit it it's about them telling America how to behave vis-a-vis Islam.

Their idea of assimilation is back-assward.

"For law enforcement, we provide our "Mosque Etiquette" and "Cultural Considerations" for interacting with the Muslim community. These guidelines were developed with the U.S. Department of Justice and other ethnic communities to educate federal, state, and local agencies about interaction with opposite gender, dress, and perception of law enforcement in general. "For the media, in addition to what you'll find for Imams, Muslim leaders, and law enforcement, we have reprinted a series of articles from "The Minaret" magazine that deals with the subject at hand. Media interviews can be arranged by contacting MPAC at (213) 383-3443. If you are a local news affiliate, contact us and we will attempt to put you in touch with a local Muslim community leader in your area that can speak from a local perspective."

[End excerpts]

They do quote the Koran to prove their sincerity; to wit, Whosoever killed a human being - unless it be in punishment for murder or for spreading corruption on earth - it shall be as if he had killed all mankind; whereas, if anyone saves a life, it shall be as though he had saved the lives of all mankind. - Quran 5:32

I got a feeling that "spreading corruption on earth" means Jews and Christians. Perhaps MPAC needs to explain as well as the Congressman. Fat chance.

Accept our guidelines or die?

MPAC, MAPAC, PAC, are Islamic lobbies, what can we expect from a Muslim lobbying on a soul purpose of domination, of us to worship them.

"Spreading corruption" = "Insulting Islam."

CAIR Officials have repeatedly said so.

“Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”

Omar M. Ahmad, Chairman of the Board, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Islamic Conference in Freemont, California, July 1998, San Ramon Valley Herald in July 1998

"I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future...But I'm not going to do anything violent to promote that. I'm going to do it through education."

Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR Spokesperson

“Once we are here, our mission in this country is to change it ... There is no way for Muslims to be violent in America, no way. We have other means to do it… If we are outside this country, we can say, 'Oh, Allah, destroy America.'"

Abdulrahman Alamoudi, 1996, at an Islamic conference in Chicago

Abdulrahman Alamoudi served in the 1990s as State’s goodwill ambassador to Muslim countries (In 2004 Alamoudi was sentenced to a 23-year prison sentence for violating anti-terrorism sanctions, including a plot to kill the Saudi ruler.)

Nihad Awad, founder of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said, “I’m in support of the Hamas movement.” captured live on videotape as he uttered those words at Barry University in Florida in 1994

Nihad Awad, founder of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), also said " The United States should and will be ruled by Sharia Law ".

Groups like CAIR and MAPAC have learned well over the past few years just how the American system works.
