Columnist Under Fire for Anti-Islam Comments (Cal Thomas)
Breitbart ^ | 3 July 07 | Unknown

Posted on 07/03/2007 3:06:44 PM PDT by SkyPilot

AUDIO HERE

Conservative syndicated columnist and author Cal Thomas is under fire for comments deemed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations to express "Islamophobic attitudes." Discussing the weekend’s UK terror plots, Thomas compared some Muslims to a “slow spreading cancer.” CNS reports that CAIR is urging supporters to call DC radio station WTOP-AM to “express your concerns.” CAIR described the Thomas comments as “incitement.” The message included the name and work number of a radio station executive.

CAIR going ballistic because Thomas gets too close to the truth.

Also notice that Cal only asks a rhetorical question, "Would we tolerate a cancer if only part of it was harmful" or words to that effect.

As for the thugs at CAIR who are no better than enemy agents in our midst, I have a phrase for them:

"It is always the stuck hog who squeals."

When you hit paydirt on the truth, the guilty feign outrage. Democrats do the same thing.

By the way, Cal Thomas is just a super guy. He is a born again Christian blessed with incredible wisdom and a wonderful sense of humor.

He is also about 6' 8".

“CAIR described the Thomas comments as “incitement. ..........Let the educated listeners decide whether or not it is incitement.

It’s not slow-spreading and it’s not cancer. It’s fast-spreading and it’s bubonic plague.

Well, I wouldn’t exactly call Cal Thomas a political conservative any longer. He has done some considerable changing. The weird thing is that he has landed on views that are contradictory to each other. So whatever. I don’t read him much anymore. Good luck to him with his little problem. Hope he can reason his way out of it, but I doubt it.

CAIR is on its last legs. Last I heard, it had 3-4 members. Still has enough money, however, to fund the Flying Whining Imams’ lawsuit v. U. S. Air in Minneapolis, at least for now.

Like everything else, you are free to be a pervert but everything else must be regulated.

Soup anyone?

Islamophobic? is that like Xenophobic or Homophobic? Does penicillin work on that, or can you just go to a remedial course at UC Berkley.

Ever notice how CAIR constantly says that the actions of a “lone nut terrorist” should not reflect on all muslims yet conservative criticism of Islamist/Jihadist thinking is somehow a rebuke of ALL muslims?

Have to be over the target for him to be getting such flack from a self-avowed Islamic Supremacist group.

Message to (I don't) CAIR: "GO EAT A HAM SANDWICH!"

And if you decide to strap on the "belt" and walk into a crowded mall, say hello to Mohammad on your way thru hell....

We DO NOT have free speech if we wish to co-exist with the Empire of Islam. Don’t you remember the big stink of the war over the 12 cartoons that “defamed” Mohammed?

One of which was an AP photo from a pig calling contest that the deceitful Imam added to the pamphlet?

Bill Clinton even made a public statement that the cartoonists should be prosecuted for their actions.

You are not permitted to blaspheme Islam or its followers. You are a kufir. A non-muslim. You are a second class citizen living in the Empire of Islam. Get used to it.

I want to challenge the heads of CAIR to a football scrimage. Can you say “fumble”?

Let’s toss the old pigskin around.
