Council on American-Islamic Relations: Tear Down Every Confederate Memorial
dailycaller.com ^ | 8/15/17 | Eric Owens

Nihad Awad, CAIR’s national executive director, urged state and local governments to erase every symbol and every vestige of Confederate history immediately.

“A fitting response to the deadly terror attack on anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville would be for officials in states and cities nationwide to immediately announce that every street, every school, every flag, and every public memorial honoring those who took up arms in defense of white supremacy and slavery will be removed or have its name changed to instead honor those who fought for civil rights,” Awad said in a statement to The Daily Caller.

“Removal of these memorials would be a small step forward in turning the page on the darkest period in our nation’s history,” Awad also said.

Tearing down every mosque would make more sense

This is rich! People who currently own slaves are complaining about people who used to own slaves.

Yup.

Islam is a religion which justifies slavery.
Muslims played an important role in the American slave trade.
Many Muslim countries today allow slavery.

This Muslim isn't suggesting we tear down monuments because he cares about slavery. He just wants to weaken our national identity so that his Cult can takeover.

In Islam, Slavery is an accepted practice and encouraged by the Mullah’s. In fact, Slavery continues today in Virtually every Muslim majority nation on this planet.

When are we going to BAN ISLAM from the USA???

OUTLAW CAiR as a terrorist organization!!!!

TEAR DOWN EVERY CAiR mosque, islamic center, student organization, etc. Deport all non-citizen CAiR operatives! And try American citizens who work for CAiR for their many, many crimes!!!!

Leave Confederate monuments and holidays alone!!!! Allow Americans to learn their history, and even to undo revisionist versions of it!

Can I ask a stupid question here?

Why is a Muslim concerned about BLACK oppression? What’s their beef with how black were treated in our country’s past?

Another of the anti-American, anti-Constitution, seditious groups that should be thrown out of America....along with their hate-filled fanatic members.

This would be normal for CAIR.

Statues removed:

Taliban
- tore down the Buddhas of Bamiyan statues.
ISIS
- tore down statues in Mosul Iraq museum
- tore down statues\destroyed Cathedral in the Phillipines

Hmmm, I'm certain there are at least a couple. The funny thing about that is Byrd is both a leftist hero AND a racist, so they would know whether to condemn or praise the action.

The footage of the communists violently toppling the statue of the noble confederate soldier last night was actually great for us. Fox finally running it a few times.

Normal people recoil at violent mob spectacles like that, and realize that this is today’s democratic party (and sadly, most of the republican party) and their corporate benefactors in action.

The narrative of Charlottesville will collapse much like the Mike Brown / gentle giant / Ferguson lies collapsed.

Until then, statues of the Left’s sacred cows can be torn down as well.

How about: Ban Islam, whose Sharia’s Law (intended to emulate their “perfect man”, Mohammad) condones slavery today.

Islam STILL participates in African slavery so we should tear down all the Mosques, first.
