Muslim group wants government to call plane attack terrorism (CAIR again)

A leading Muslim advocacy group is pushing government officials to call the suicide plane crash in Texas “an act of terror,” saying that if a Muslim had been flying the plane there would be no hesitancy to call it terrorism.

On Thursday, Andrew Joseph Stack III flew a small plane into the IRS's four-story office building in Austin, killing himself and at least one federal employee. Before the incident, Stack allegedly left a series of messages on a website expressing his disgust with the IRS, saying at one point that “violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer.”

“Whenever an individual or group attacks civilians in order to make a political statement, that is an act of terror,” said Nihad Awad, the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

“Terrorism is terrorism, regardless of the faith, race or ethnicity of the perpetrator or the victims,” said Awad, adding in a statement that “if a Muslim had carried out the IRS attack, it would have surely been labeled an act of terrorism.”

Muslim group wants government to call plane attack terrorism

No problem....

We'll stack up all the Muslim terrorist acts against any other kind of terrorist acts, and we'll have about a ratio of 10,000 to 1 for Muslims to anything else... LOL...

Sure there are other terrorist actions around that aren't Muslim... and when you find them, it's so rare that it makes the news because of its rarity...

See the following from another post of mine...


That evil and oppressive governmental idealogy of Islam and the way of implementing it by Sharia law is already making inroads right here in this country — the good ole USA. We’re about to see a “takeover” of the U.S. by the evil and oppressive idealogy of the government of Islam (that is aiming for world-wide conquest and has stated that the U.S. is *on its list* to take over...)

And for those people who need some additional facts about what the evil and oppressive governmental idealogy of Islam is doing, look at some of the following.

There’s no question about it... the enemy is *Islam* itself and the evil and oppressive and false idealogy that it perpetrates. Some say the problem is “fascism” (instead of the basic oppressive governmental idealogy of Islam, itself). But, that is to engage in “political correctness” and nothing more... and sidetracks people from the *true enemy* in this war.

In one generation we’ll see, right here in the United States that “Islam” is the enemy and not “fascism”...

Muslim Demographics...

and also, this...

Islam: What the West Needs to Know - FULL LENGTH ENGLISH VERSION
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-871902797772997781

and then, looking at this...

“The Third Jihad” (video - abridged version of film)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2271522/posts

This is the allowance of “false gods” to take over this nation because of the ignorance of the people of the land in regards to the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob...

And so, we see that we’re going to have the “false god of Islam” ruling over the USA and running the USA in just one generation from now.

I don’t think he flew the plane into the IRS building because of Jihad or Allah. The guy just had a screw loose.

Might as well. The word as commonly used these days just means something that is done by someone you disapprove of.

You were saying ...

It's still a terrorist act. And it's okay, I think, for it to be labeled as such. There's no way that any amount of "other terrorism" can ever equal the amount of Islamic terrorism in the world. So, you've got no worries there for it happening if you label this an act of terrorism.

And it's easily shown that Islamic terrorism is a function of the idealogy of Islam, which commands this sort of action from its adherents.

On the other hand, this guy wasn't part of a group that commanded it for their followers, and was doing it on his own, and not as part of a "controlling idealogy that commands it" -- as is clear that we have from Islam.

I don't think anyone has to be the least bit concerned about calling this an act of terrorism.

That's not how it would be used here, and I think it's legitimate to understand this as an act of terrorism.

And you don't have to be concerned about anyone or any idealogy ever catching up to the evil and despicable idealogy of Islam in its command for its followers to commit these acts of terrorism in order to spread the influence and control of Islam all over the world.

No one could ever catch up to Islam.

I don’t remember hearing Stack scream “Jesus is Lord” before he hit the building.
