CAIR Issues Statement on Trump’s Planned ‘Muslim Ban’ Executive Orders

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 1/25/17) – The Council on American-Islamic-Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today issued a statement in reaction to executive orders expected to be signed by President Donald Trump restricting immigration from a number of Middle Eastern and African countries.

~SNIP~

“Make no mistake – whatever language is used in President Trump’s executive orders on refugees, immigration and visa programs – Muslims are the sole targets of these orders.

“These orders are a disturbing confirmation of Islamophobic and un-American policy proposals made during the presidential election campaign.

“Never before in our country’s history have we purposely - as a matter of policy - imposed a ban on immigrants or refugees on the basis of religion, or imposed a religious litmus test on those coming to this nation.p>

“Ideological and religious questioning imposed on our government agencies by Islamophobes – many of whom are now in policy-making positions - will not make us safer and will instead send a very negative message that Muslims are not welcome in America.

“One of our nation’s darkest moments was during World War II when we turned away Jewish refugees seeking our protection. We cannot allow religious bigotry to affect our willingness and ability to welcome those fleeing violence and persecution.

“Refugees coming to America are the most vetted of all those entering our country. They go through multiple levels of screening by multiple national security agencies before they can enter, and before they are even selected as refugees.

“These orders will have an adverse impact on American Muslim families trying to connect with visiting relatives from overseas and parents seeking medical treatment. The orders will tarnish our image in the Muslim world, making us seem uncaring and hard-hearted.

CAIR: Muslims are the sole targets of these orders.

Prove it, CAIR. Christians and non-religious persons from those listed countries are equally affected.

Isn’t this an Hamas-linked mouthpiece that should have been run out of the U.S.A. long, long, long ago?

Like the early morning hours of 9/12/2001?

Islam is a war plan.
They have been carrying it out for almost 1400 years.
Only the deliberately obtuse don’t understand that Islam is an ideology bent on world domination.

Muzzies out!

Go back from where you came and take your cancerous religion and ideology with you.

We Americans no longer have patience with your constant whining and bitching.

Fell discriminated? Take matters into you own hand and find relief through self-deportation.

As usual CAIR is lying. The Chinese Exclusion Act was in effect for many years and after Iran took over our embassy Iranians were excluded by executive order. There is precedent for both Congress and the President to order these bans and no one has a right to come to this country other than citizens of the United States.

There can be no peace until there is no Islam.

They are commanded by their prophet in their book to subjugate, convert or kill everyone else on the planet.

Mad Mo made it so.

Their comment is a lie.
