Ann Coulter Says Muslims 'Smell Bad'; CAIR: Media Should Reject Commentator's Bigotry

WASHINGTON, March 10 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today called on major media outlets to end their association with a controversial conservative pundit who recently suggested that Muslims "smell bad." The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said syndicated columnist Ann Coulter, who frequently appears as a guest on cable news programs, made that Islamophobic remark in a recent commentary on Mel Gibson's new film "The Passion of the Christ."

Coulter wrote: "Being nice to people is, in fact, one of the incidental tenets of Christianity (as opposed to other religions whose tenets are more along the lines of 'kill everyone who doesn't smell bad and doesn't answer to the name Mohammed'). She also referred to: "(The Prophet) Muhammad's many specific instructions to kill non-believers whenever possible."

"We believe strongly in freedom of speech and support Ann Coulter's right to hold even bigoted and hate-filled views," said CAIR Communications Coordinator Rabiah Ahmed. "But credible media outlets should not associate themselves with or serve to legitimize such overt racism and Islamophobia." Ahmed called on newspapers that publish Coulter's column and on cable news channels that invite her as a guest commentator to reconsider promoting someone who spreads virulent hatred and intolerance.

Coulter has made a number of similarly anti-Muslim comments since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Immediately following the attacks, she suggested that "we should invade their (Muslim) countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." Coulter wrote in Worldnetdaily.com: "While Judaism and Christianity begin with the Creation, Islam reveres a God who creates nothing."

When asked whether she would recommend "Muslim-free air travel," Coulter said: "This is my idea...I think airlines ought to start advertising: 'We have the most civil rights lawsuits brought against us by Arabs.'" When asked how Muslims would travel, she responded: "They could use flying carpets." (Guardian, 5/17/03) Coulter also referred to Middle Easterners as "camel riding nomads" and said Egyptians have an "aversion to bathing."

CAIR is America's largest Islamic civil liberties group.

Next thing Michael Moore will want an apology, the miserable failure...

A woman said to him "Sir..you smell" to which he replied "No madam. You smell. I stink."

Pluto is the Planet of the Apes?

lessehere... six degrees of kevin bacon:

1. has a photo of a left-wing intellectual ivory-tower prissy evolved ape on his about page: check
2. name is composed of the name of that same ape, plus that of an anti-gun super-genius pacifistic doo-gooder: check
3. both said characters are fictional: check
4. Michael Moore obsesses over that word: check
5. Michael Moore's works depend heavily on loads of used food also of a fictional bent: check
6. This Moby is actually Michael Moore.

I just hate it when people use the verb "smell" instead of the proper intransitive verb "stink".....:)

You must have diagrammed lots of sentences when you were a kid :)

Thank you for these pictures since the news media has judged that we may hurt someone's feelings ( the terrorists) if we show any pictures of 911.....

It is just a matter of personal taste with them, as with us. Arabs have developed their own varieties of curry and have been using it for thousands of years.

The main use for curry is to hide the taste/smell of rotting meat. Bully Beef for all.

I disagree with your charactyerization of Ann Coulter. She plays the game of giving Democrats back what they dish out and they scream foul repeatedly.

My characterization ?? I simply copied the Newbies comment. I think that Ann's analysis of what the 'RATS do is usually right on.

I don't equate Ann Coulter with the 'RATS Michael Moore, Al Franken et al at all.

This article was puerile and adolescent, though. It is a shame that so few here see that.

Har, har, har. They have no trouble seeing your agenda though.

[MeekOneGOP]

Oh, okay. Not a problem. I thought probably that was the case ! ;^)

[hershey]

Ann's funny and right on target, as usual. Thank God for her.

personal hygiene is highly valued in Islam, and perfumes and incense are important parts of Muslim culture.

I guess they have modern plumbing in those caves now, who'd thunk it?

Hint: Toilet paper is not available in the desert.

Corn cobs either :)

Moslems should simply take more baths or put on more colone!


Ann Coulter is right on the money. In 1983 my wife and I on our honey moon went on a charter bus from Costa del Sol, Spain through Europe to Denmark. Most of the passangers were Scandinavian, but there was a Moroccan couple where the wife sitting in the back of the bus oozed so much of foul odors that passenger next to her refused to sit near her and scrambled to sit up front after joining the bus after rest stops. Passengers complained to the husband and asked him to have his wife bathing during the first night hotel stop. Next morning she had the same offensive odor and it was all over the bus all the way through Europe. Think twice before you enter a bus or airplane when such people are among the passengers!

It's a troll.

From it's post #10:

"So are conservatism and hypocrisy such a natural fit all the time, or is this a special case?"
