CAIR Issues Statement on Trump’s Planned ‘Muslim Ban’ Executive Orders
cair.com ^ | Jan. 25, 2017

(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.

I’ve got a news flash for ya’ there, Mr. CAIR; At the present moment, muslims are NOT welcome from certain areas, and especially not without extreme vetting. Those already here, who haven’t assimilated and become Americans: Buh-bye.

...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...

Well, you have to admit that Islam is a 'unique' religion in that their holy book instructs their followers to destroy those that don't join their cult. As such, it is probably more akin to the 19th Century 'Thuggee' religion of India (which, ironically, if wikipedia is to be believed, traced their origin to 7 muslim tribes), or the National Socialist (Nazi) religion of mid 20th Century Germany - which taught 'master race uber alles'...

As far as I know, Islam is the only 'tolerated' ideology that instructs its followers to inflict mayhem on others. So Islam - a Religion, or a Political ideology? I don't think it is a Religion - but regardless, it has been at open warfare with the non-Muslim world for close to 1400 years, and it is fair (and smart) for non-Muslim countries to ban its entry, and foothold, on its shores.
I understand that this could tread on First Amendment issues - not freedom of Religion (because it is not a Religion), but freedom of speech - but if people openly admit that they are following a book that instructs them to destroy your Country and society (literally - not metaphysically) they should be on the 'non welcome' list.

CAIR is an indicted coconspirator in terrorist activities.

CAIR is a terrorist organization and should be deemed as such.

[[“These orders are a disturbing confirmation of Islamophobic]]

From the statement:
...during World War II when we turned away Jewish refugees seeking our protection...

Cokie Roberts parroted those exact words on Fox a little while ago.

I don’t believe that is historically correct.

Might as well throw in “Shariaphobia”. These people bring their own laws with them. That’s a no-no. We have house rules.

Until CAIR's "Easy to Use and Operate" minions can figure out why Sharia is completely incompatible with our American constitutional prohibition against state-establishments of religion - BYE!

Watch for this and be prepared to counter it:
The Muslims are being recast as the new Jews.
They and their communist allies are trying to cast ordinary Americans as the new Nazis.

Irony thy name is CAIR when they claim to align their comparative example to JEWS.

Nobody, not even other Muslims running from the terror-filled and bloody streets of Islamic ruled nations, will shed tears for us preventing the world’s most accursed group of people from moving here as “refugees”.

CAIR is like a fecal bacteria that has no problems with the Holocaust. How dare they use Jews in the BS Propaganda!

The lib media is shameless. Use children and “refugees” as metaphors for their justification to conquer and destroy the US.

Cokie and CAIR only had issues with the gun laws when Muslims murdered dozens in Orlando, San Bernadino, and Ft. Lauderdale.

He Said "....The orders will tarnish our image in the Muslim world, making us seem uncaring and hard-hearted...."

And in the Glorious word(s) of Andrew Breitbart, I will say, " SO?"
