The Council on American-Islamic Relations, known as CAIR, has been exerting intense political pressure to cancel scheduled screenings of “Honor Diaries,” depicting practices in Muslim countries, described in the film as “systematic, institutionalized misogyny.”
Agnieszka Karoluk, representing CAIR-Chicago, was unable to dispute the film’s claims after being challenged by Fox News Megyn Kelly, but instead found fault with its producers, the Clarion Project.
“[It’s] a well-known, Islamophobic organization,” she claimed. “What I’m personally disgusted by as a Muslim woman, as a feminist is that someone like the Clarion Project would take this film and use it to promote their own hate-filled agenda.”
Human rights attorney Brooke Goldstein countered that “CAIR is obviously protesting the content of the film,” and said CAIR’s position was “indefensible,” calling CAIR “the PR arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.” She added, “If CAIR doesn’t want you to see it, you should take it a a cue to go out and watch this movie, because you know there’s truth contained therein.”
The back-and-forth between the two women is fascinating, with Goldstein delivering the more debilitating blows.
Kelly jumped in and remarked that CAIR demanded a retraction of her Monday night segment covering the same film. “Well guess what — you’re not getting it,” she said.
Yes, sort of telling isn’t it?
Unfortunately, just by having anyone from CAIR on the air Fox is helping to give CAIR credibility as a legitimate spokesgroup. But if on every appearance they were exposed for the liars they are and mocked like they were on this show, it would be worth it.
I used to be very open-minded about such things, and looked with tolerance upon the desire most of us women have to appear sexy for men. I was also very understanding of the innate hard-wired desire men have to see women’s bodies, which are objectively beautiful. But in the past few months I have tried to change my views on this; I’ve become much less accepting.
For I’ve realized how precious a woman’s body is. In our wombs, God reaches down from heaven to enkindle a life that He specifically wills to exist. We women have the great grace of carrying within us, in these hidden, magically complex, inward parts, a person God wishes! Are we to take this extraordinary gift and exhibit it before the world as if it were no more special than a piece of $4.99 a pound chuck roast? Of course not. This cherished gift should be shown only to one’s husband.
Beautifully and truly stated.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Explain?
I take it you don't approve of going to the beach in a swimsuit?
“Lying for the sake of jihad.’
Otherwise known as “taqiyya”
That’s a good question but I tell you what, equipped the way I outlined and with 411 gears and good rubber on the rear those little 57 Chevys won hundreds of street races back when there were fewer cops and they did not take themselves so serious.
I go to the beach (or a pool) in a bathing suit. Even in a bikini, (though I may rethink the bikini this year, finally). But my stuff is pretty much covered up, and I’m not there with my mouth hanging open alluringly, pulling my clothes aside with a come-hither look, or otherwise disporting myself in way that’s intended to deliberately arouse desires in strange men, like Kelly is doing in these photos. In other words, modesty and dignity are situational. I’m certain you can see the difference between wearing a bathing suit to go swimming, and having a sexually-charged photograph of yourself taken and published on the Internet.
I do, but I'm not sure you keep that cognizant unless reminded (as I did) because this statement of yours is unqualified, unlike the one above:
This cherished gift should be shown only to one’s husband.
Thank you for your situational retraction.
Is the photo of Megyn Kelly, or is it of the “Cair spokesbimbo”?
So far I’ve managed not to flash my breasts or genitals, even while at the beach. It actually is possible to be in a bikini without lasciviously attempting to stimulate (other) men with postures, facial expressions, and baring of breasts, as in the now-deleted post 13.
That is not a retraction. I retract nothing of what I wrote. I don’t think women should pose and display themselves for anyone but their husbands and I no longer think a woman should take sexually provocative photos and post them on the Internet.
Have you noticed that many of CAIR’s spokespeople are white converts to Islam. Remember loveable shitfaced liar Dougie Ibrahim Hooper? (Hooper is an old Islamic name that dates back to the Crusades, right?)
These are the new “Fifth Columnists” inside America, just like the few Americans who became Moslems and joined Al Qaeda and other jihadist groups: Adam Gadansk?, Al-Alaki (?), some of the car bombers, the one who shot the soldier at the rcruiting station in Little Rock, Ark., etc.
I wonder why Holder didn’t dismantle and arrest the leaders of CAIR after the Holy Land Fund trials? Oh, it might have pissed off Comrade Mullah Obama, right?
I also blame the Bush Administration for not cleaning out this nest of jihadist protectors under the “aiding and abetting the enemy” clause of the 1916 Espionage Act.
Our leaders have no guts anymore, and some are actually helping the enemy, knowingly and proudly, including you know who.
The enemy is within the gates and very few are willing to identify them.
Our PEOPLE have no guts. Christian churches having happy day with Muslims, school boards instituting halal menus and banning Christmas, cities allowing no go zones for police in muzzie controlled areas... Think about that folks. Muslims control areas of American cities with approval of our leaders and people allow it.
It’s nice to be this far out in the desert here in AZ and not in Detroit. Hot, but it’s nice. Largely idiot free. But even here idiocy is making inroads due to Californication.
Countries that define how large the rocks can be when used to stone women (yes, they don’t want large rocks for certain crimes because the woman might be killed too quickly - and yes, that IS how it works) should be exposed daily on every TV station in EVERY civilized country. The more movies the better.
Ah, therein lies the rub. Islam is changing America and the world after a fashion that is not ‘the civilized world’ Islam rejects. Islam is about the evil one pulling humanity back to the primitive state of existence where magic thinking and enslavement are the norm. The father of Islam Is a lie, a murdering pedophile from the start. Americans are so dumbed down now that they are incapable of discernment, and that by design of the globalist oligarchs. I’m sure they expect their stooge, Islam, to reduce the population of the planet to the more manageable numbers of globalist agenda 21 dreams.
No more than there is a word such as "Naziphobic" or "Communistaphobic" (although the Commie Left tried to call it a Red Scare, whereas the Marxist led "Green Scare" truly is false hysteria).
“CAIR is a well-known terrorist front, formed by Hamas and Hezbollah.”
