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.

Take a look at the statues they want destroyed.

Are they statues of slave owners whipping slaves?

Nope.

Whoda thunkit?

John Semmens is a director at CAIR?

This reads EXACTLY like one of his parodies!

It would be difficult to imagine a clearer reflection of pure hatred for the cultural heritage of your adopted country. Hopefully their membership will repudiate this sentiment.

Muslims sold the slaves back then. They’re still in the business. CAIR needs to shut up.

Those who want to rewrite history are doomed to repeat it. It is a crime against humanity actually, and more specifically a form of child abuse, In that we disallow following generations the lessons learned from history, ill-equipping our youth the ability to think and discuss important issues of human relations and self-government.

I think it might be better to have a wall of shame available for general public abuse naming current slave traders and raising awareness of this deplorable practice with an eye toward ending it.

Simple answer: yes.

CAIR (muzzies) and Democrats (lefties) have these enemies in common:

Christianity, Western Civilization, the state of Israel, plus anyone who disagrees with them AND is armed.

Not that cair gives a damn, but removing the Confederacy from history also goes a long way for doing the same to the subsequent struggles for black civil rights.

CAIR should be out of business. All its members deported or executed.

A gift to Jefferson Davis of an Arabian Stallion (that was noisy) by the Arabians alerted ships of the blockade to sink the ship near Charleston Harbour. These were Muslims.

Tearing down statues like that is a bridge too far.

That was the image I thought about. You should explain to others in the thread what that means. Muslims are all about erasing history.

I am sure a forensic audit from the IRS would find plenty of problems at the hate-filled CAIR.

Council on American-Islamic Relations: Tear Down Every Confederate Memorial

The ummah is a foreign world-wide community and political party of killers.
CAIR is their American mouthpiece interfering with the internal political affairs of the UNITED STATES. Funded entirely by Saudi Arabia and other muslim States.

Shut them down.

Arrest them. Ban foreign nationals who are "members."
