eff u Collective Against Individual Rights. Thanks Cindy. Quite an indictment. Eliminate CAIR. Where’s RICO?
Bookmarking for future reference....Thanks a bunch.
Great, Cindy, but couldn’t you provide some links to CAIR???
So are we going to keep frisking old ladies and look away when Middle-Eastern men board planes?
I say we deport them all and we save countless lives.
It's led to insecurity and fear because we DON'T profile, Mr. Hooper! (BTW, what kind of a muslim name is *Hooper*?)
Profiling is exactly what we have to do. When a policeman tries to solve a crime, he doesn’t start with A in the phonebook. When was the last terrorist incident fomented by a radical Norwegian Protestant, or a Peruvian Animist, or a Laotian Buddhist? I can remember seeing an elderly Chinese woman in a wheelchair undergoing a patdown search, and yet this Islamic young man whose own father turns him in, is not searched? OK, put us all through the ringer, but connect the dots, for goodness sake.

Whoa. That’s a LOT of bright red words!
And CAIR is such an innocent organization, I’m sure it’s all about the good things they do for America!

Wow - what a treasure trove of information about CAIR.
Will have to plow through it later but the Repubs in Congress and all other “experts” being interviewed about the recent attacks by Islamic terrorists need to emphasize the CAIR ties to the Obama administration, specifically Holder, and to members of Congress and all US governmental agencies where its members have infiltrated.
Thanks for posting.
That’s quite an impressive compendium of resources. Thank you.
It’s a wonder that this group is still taken seriously in the same sense that the global warmers hustlers are still taken seriously.
Good Advice, CAIR. I agree 100-percent!
Everyone should profile muslims, stop them, question them and (if reasonable) search them BEFORE the airline (rail, plant, roadside, school, 7-11, enlistment) terrorist incident takes place.
We are at war with radical Islam. If there are any innocent muslims then they should not worry. If there are any innocent muslims then they should support our effort to track down and stop terrorists. If there are any innocent muslims then they should join our effort to fight terrorists!
“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Qur’an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth”
—Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations), San Ramon Valley Herald, July 1998
