(CNSNews.com) Spurred by the controversies over Quran-burning and the planned Ground Zero mosque, the most visible Islamic advocacy organization in the United States says it is launching a department to deal with Islamophobia.
In doing so, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is following the example of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the 57-member bloc of Islamic states. The OIC set up an observatory five years ago to monitor and report on incidents and trends around the world it regards as amounting to Islamophobia.
CAIR, which calls itself Americas largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization, said in a statement Monday that its executive director, Nihad Awad, had announced the move at the groups annual banquet, held in Arlington, Va. on Saturday.

I’m not “Islamophobic”, I just don’t like muslims who want to kill me and the religion that tells them they should.
I’m starting a “Christ-o-phobic” chapter.
First on the list, all those whose stated goal is to kill me for not being a muslim.
I have an idea: Let’s start a “Go back to the Third-World Hellhole you came from” division...
Normally a phobia is an irrational fear; however Islam is a REAL fear.
Definition of Islamophobia and Islamophobic:
Person who is knowledgeable of the facts and truth of Islam!
Primarily a person comprehends, Islam as nothing more than a military and quasi-governmental ideology movement, disguised as a religion to control its population.
Why do that when they are helping to turn this country into a 3rd world hellhole.
It’s not even a veiled attempt at taking over now; they are going full throttle and this ‘division’ will be systematically assessing ‘individuals’ and using our legal system to bring charges for perceived ‘anti-muslim’ behavior. This will assist them in incorporating sharia law (they think) at which point, they’ll follow only their own laws and we all know what that means; kill the infidels.
Jmho of course but these people are like cockroaches and are spreading. (and they will be just as hard to eradicate)
Lets see them Enforce it,,,!!!
They won't last long...
What's the USE!!??
They have already been fully exposed through internal plants who spilled the beans, in MUSLIM MAFIA
What else is there left to "explain"??
There,fixed it.
It’s ongoing, ongoing, ongoing....
As far as I see things, there is no such thing as “islamophobia.” There is certainly romophobia, and, in the case of cair, and their ilk, judaiophobia. As for the formerly free press, there is islamophilia, in all senses of meaning available in the word. But no one “fears” islam. And the fact that a majority of this country’s free, sovereign citizens don’t kowtow to this particular religion/political cult ONLY means that they are exercising their rights as American citizens. As in, FREE SPEECH. As in you are welcome to come join us in this wonderful country, not to rule it, but to share in it’s joys. This is nothing but another thinly disguised, feeble attempt to apply leverage, in order that cair, and it’s evil associates, might gain political credibility. Cair will use any percieved advantage to gain ground, and that is all this is. Whether cair will admit it or not makes no difference. Every last one of their cars should have a license plate that contains the word taqqiya.
Dont be so naive America, what have they done that shows any sign of changing their believe that they should have their own laws just because they are Muslim, when was the last time you saw one stand in front of the TV and call Bin Laden a ass**** terrorist, and demand ANYTHING of the terrorist, as in stop the killing of innocent women and children or give a women her basic rights. When the last time you saw any of them showed any tolerance what so ever to our laws, culture, individual spiritual or religious believes. They are using our civil rights and political correctness against us.
They are liars, scam artist and con men who will do and say anything to distract us from the coming Trojan horse.
There was a protest outside the CAIR fundraiser, as the developer of the Ground Zero Victory Mosque was there.

Helen Thomas also received an award from CAIR that same night.
Thanks stratman1969.
‘Civil rights’ don’t you know. As long as egalitarianism rules the day there isn’t a damn thing that can be done to stop this. White Westerners gave away their birthright the day they acquiesced to it. From homosexual perversion to unqualified professionals, to reparations to Muslim and Latino invasion. As long as whites kowtow to the religion of egalitarianism this march across our culture and destruction of our nation will continue unabated.
They’ll blow you up if you don’t agree that islam is peaceful, right?
Islam needs to be wiped off the face of the earth, starting in America.
