(CNSNews.com) – President-elect Donald Trump has offered the key post of national security adviser former Defense Intelligence Agency chief Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (ret.), the Associated Press reported Thursday, citing an unnamed senior Trump official.
Flynn, who served as head of the DIA from 2012 to 2014, has been advising the Trump campaign on national security issues.
He is also an outspoken critic of radical Islam and shari’a (Islamic law), and has attracted the ire of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
Earlier Thursday, CAIR issued a statement urging Trump not to appoint him “because of his history of anti-Muslim comments and associations.”
It quoted him as comparing Islam to “a cancer” during an event in Texas earlier this year hosted by ACT for America, an organization which CAIR described as an “anti-Islam hate group.”

Got get 'em General Flynn!
Unhappy? good get the hell out
If CAIR is unhappy, it was a good pick.
Ah..
That’s a great sign the Trump got it right.
Well, it passes the smell test! General Flynn, you’re IN!
Thanks for your input, CAIR!
It clearly says we know what you are up to and you need to halt the invasion immediately.
Then I am even more happy with the NSA pick.
Must be a good pick.
Who has the Grumpy Kitteh....Good pic!?
OMG These people! They get more overworked about Michael Flynn than they do about terrorist attacks that murder and maim their OWN.
Kind of like how French President Hollande gets more worked up over Brexit and Trump than the slew of attacks his country has endured as of late. UGH. Gross!
Making CAIR unhappy was the whole point. Hee hee.
'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'

Actually I was wondering if Flynn is the best choice as well ...until I read this news
I cannot think of one Trump pick or action that was opposed by anyone who’s opinion mattered.
Muslims should be removed from the government and the military.
GOOD!
CAIR is the terrorist group Muslim Brotherhood. Obama’s main friends.
CAir needs to be shut down / deported ASAP!
