Muslims Thank McKinney for Efforts on Their Behalf By Susan Jones CNSNews.com Morning Editor August 23, 2002

(CNSNews.com) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Washington-based Islamic civil rights and advocacy group, has written a letter to Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.), thanking her "for all your efforts on behalf of our nation."

The letter also said, "We will support you in any future efforts, whether in the political arena or in the private sector, to promote the cause of justice and inclusion."

McKinney was defeated in Tuesday's Democratic primary in Georgia, so she will not return to Congress when her current term ends.

She drew heavy support from the Muslim community, while her challenger, former state court judge Denise Majette, received considerable support from Jewish contributors.

In a letter released Thursday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations praised McKinney for her "willingness to do what is right, in spite of the consequences."

But some of what McKinney did raised eyebrows in both Republican and Democratic circles.

For starters, McKinney made national headlines in October 2001 for pursuing a $10 million charitable contribution from a Saudi prince - money intended to help victims of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani angrily returned the check, after Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal suggested that U.S. Middle East policy contributed to the terrorist attacks. The prince urged the U.S. to "re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stance toward the Palestinian cause."

Then in March, McKinney suggested the Bush administration had failed to act on prior warnings of the Sept. 11 attacks.

In an interview with a Berkeley radio station, McKinney said, "We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11th . What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11th? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered? What do they have to hide? Persons close to this administration are poised to make huge profits off America's new war," she charged.

But according to CAIR, McKinney "stood for the poor, the forgotten and the disenfranchised."

The letter said, "Your example motivated thousands of ordinary people to get involved in the political process and to fight for their civil rights and human dignity. The Muslim community wishes to once again thank you...""

McKinney is a whore... she solicited money from the Sauds in return for her services. The Arabs didn't elect this whore, misguided and ill-informed black Americans did. Her alegiance to Arab causes put all American lives in jeopardy including her black constituents... she should be tried for treason.

She's lucky she's not hanging from a lamp post down on Auburn Ave.
After another attack , with tens of thousands dead of biological warfare, unburied, she may not be so lucky.

She thinks she was acerd out of office.
Nope.
She was "thrown out" by voters because she, and her ideas stink.

A quick glance at her Press Release page should put us on notice: she was truly, undeniably the conduit for Islamists to corrupt the fabric of Congress. The voters of Georgia have done this country a great service -- the value of which will become greater and more apparent with each passing day -- by throwing her out.

The campaign against Islamists trying to worm their way into Congress must continue. Who will they choose next? One of the typical pro-Islamic articles gives a list of sponsors who would appear to be the Islamist roll call:

Conyers (D, MI-14)

Bonior (D, MI-10)

Blagojevich (D, IL-05)

Dingell (D, MI-16)

Towns (D, NY-10)

S. T. Jones (D, OH-11)

G. Meeks (D, NY-06)

Kilpatrick (D, MI-15)

Waters (D, CA-35)

Clayton (D, NC-01)

Wynn (D, MD-04)

W. J. Jefferson (D, LA-02)

Rahall (D, WV-03)

Hinchey (D, NY-26)

Rush (D, IL-01)

Kaptur (D, OH-09)

We must keep our eyes on these would-be traitors.

Is there any doubt left on where the loyalty of the muslim community lay, if indeed CAIR speaks for them? If there are muslims in this country who love the USA, they better speak out loud now, there may not be too many chances left. There is a limit to American tolerance. If another 9.11 happens, or worst, then may their Allah have mercy on them.
