Organizations like CAIR exist and the Reverend Jesse Jackson speaks at allegedly Islamic events which are little more than thinly veiled black power rants citing Islamic terminology. CAIR is about as Islamic as Louis Farrakhan who is NOT A MUSLIM. I am embarrassed by CAIR no wait I am not embarrassed because I refuse to give those idiots one dime or listen to their propaganda. I am a conservative Muslim I am an American and I support our troops! To top off this whole spectacle CAIR is having a motivational speaker/terror suspect speak how absolutely uplifting! Of course CAIR and ISNA will state that he is a religious man and was wrongfully accused whether or not he was his hate filled speeches leave little doubt that he hates freedom and America. A person who gives racist hate filled speeches does not deserve recognition or praise. The fact that he was listed as a potential conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing is alarming to me. Also the very fact that he is a former member of the Nation of Islam is enough to discredit him in my eyes as nothing more than a racist fool. The bottom line if CAIR wants to claim that they have no extremist views then why are they continuing to have controversial and alarming keynote speakers. Certainly if they tried they could have speakers who believe in the messages of peace and love and don't fantasize about worldwide caliphates.
Part 2
In response to some of the comments and criticism I have received regarding this post let me respond. I understand that ISNA has done a lot of positive things for Muslim-Americans in America. My criticism of ISNA was a criticism of the Islamic world in general and that is a tendency to refuse to take public stances against radical or extremist viewpoints and people. ISNA basically stated that nothing was wrong with this radical Imam and that people really liked hearing him speak. They failed to address his more extreme views and his questionable past escapades. Many Muslims in America tend to either bury their head in the sand when idiots speak for our religion or softly chastise them. I say enough is enough! I will speak out and stand up I will defend American and everything it stands for and still be a proud MUSLIM.

You shouldn't make generalizations about groups just because they are Muslim. What you said about CAIR is true but throwing ISNA into the same category is unfair. They are two completely different groups run by completely different people. They are not affiliated with each other. Get your facts straight. It's embarassing that there are people like you who make generalizations. It's like saying all Muslims are evil!
ReplyDeletePeople who refuse to condemn extremists cannot claim to be free of guilt by association.
