Although CAIR's response is depressingly typical of the Wahhabi Lobby, I actually do have some problems with Cal's column as well in that it lacks some important provisos and distinctions. So does your post. Let's set the record straight in fairness:

Well, if anyone's familiar with Nazis and their policies, it's certainly the islamics. What is it with these people?

In WWI, they backed the wrong side. In WWII, they supported Hitler.

This is not entirely correct. I'm certain that in WWII there were, among the Arabs, significant tribes and leaders that fought with the British. I'm not familiar with the history, but I'd bet the same was true in WWI. The Ottoman Empire was on the side of the Axis, but there were plenty of Arabs and Persian muslims who were against the Ottomans.

In the first gulf war, they sided with Iraq (the "palis"), and again this time as well!

Sure, the Pawnestinians did, but many Arab countries supported us, or even fought with us, in the Gulf War, and many supported us in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

They danced in joy on September 11, and after suicide bombers murder innocent women and children, then get pissed off that the US isn't supporting their "cause" enough!

Again, Palestinians did, but this is hardly all "islamics". Some of the largest demonstrations of solidarity with America anywhere in the world were held in Pakistan, where (IIRC) over 100,000 gathered, in spite of radicals who tried to throw grenades into their midst, and a quarter million (again, IIRC) in Iran, who gathered in spite of threats from the mullahtocracy who tried to forbid the demonstrations.

Bosnian Muslims had their own SS Division, the Hanjar Division.

The cleric of Turkey were THE ONLY ONES TO CONDEMN THE ATTACKS OFF 9/11. Where is the outrage by "religious" leaders of islam?

The Arabs did fight against the Ottoman Turks in WWI. They were fighting for freedom from the Ottomans. Compared to the Bedu tribesmen, of course, the Ottomans were civilised.

The guy who wrote this letter, Ib Hooper of CAIR, has blood on his own hands. After 9/11 the organisation, which has always supported and defended suicide terrorists, put a link on their website which invited people to contribute to 9/11 victims. However... the money actually went to the Holy Land Foundation, a Hamas front, and was used to finance terrorist attacks in Israel.

CAIR itself is a terrorist front, pure and simple. I am assuming that the only reason it hasn't been shuttered (as Holy Land was) and its officers made to answer charges, is that the responsible authorities have it wired like a pinball machine and are using it to roll up Hooper's friends in Al-Qaeda.

d.o.l.
