CAIR's vision is to be a leading advocate for justice and mutual understanding.
CAIR's mission is to enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding. (Vision and Mission: Council on American-Islamic Relations)
Now doesn’t this sound awesome? The CAIR vision reads like a very tolerant American thinking organization whose central concern is sticking up for the civil rights of Muslim-Americans.
Unfortunately it is propaganda validating the wishful thinking of decent Muslims who actually believe that Islam means peace. Also the CAIR vision reads as something very American to American non-Muslims (kafir) who believe in the American principles of Freedom of Religion and social justice.
The reality is CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator with those of convicted in the Holy Land Foundation trial for laundering charitable donations into the Islamic terrorist organization Hamas. So much for the concept of “justice and mutual understanding.”
Now let’s look at Islam’s practice of tolerance, civil liberties and building coalitions that promote justice of mutual understanding.
Muslim Turkish father murders his son when he finds out the young man is a homosexual. If you read my blogs you are aware I believe homosexuality is a deviant sin; however I would never advocate death or harm to a homosexual. I would advocate my right as a business owner not to be forced to hire a person whose lifestyle I find to be repugnant.
There is no freedom of speech or the open freedom of religion in Muslim dominated nations and in the West many conclaves of Muslims have successfully instituted Sharia Law which denies civil rights to human beings.
Here is a mere small list of people who live under a death threat for their advocacy in making people aware of the negative aspects of Islam. Here is another essay demonstrating the lack of Mutual Understanding within Islam.
I could probably fill ten pages of examples of Intolerance, the non-existence of Civil Rights and the total absence of Mutual Understanding AND still not come close to exposing Islam’s negative aspects as compared to Western and (especially) American principles of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
CAIR is so hypocritical in its alleged status of moderate Islam and defender of Muslim Civil Rights. CAIR has not only been connected to Hamas legally through the HLF convictions but the organization’s founders and many of its current leadership have espoused the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is definitely not a representative of moderate Islam. Nearly all the transnational terrorist organizations of the Sunni Islam persuasion are of the Hanbali Islamic school of thought. The Hanbali school is conservative and interprets the Quran, Hadith, Sunna and so on in literal terms and consider the most extreme violence of Mohammed’s Islamic conquests and retribution as examples to be followed in the in the present time.
Muslim Brotherhood, Salafist, Wahhabi and related groups thus are Islamic reform movements seeking to enforce the return of purest Islam of the Prophet Mohammed’s day in the seventh century AD (C.E. for secular humanists).
CAIR is a part of this very non-moderate Islamic tradition regardless of CAIR allusions to the contrary.
An article by Joe Kaufman at Pajamas Media is the inspiration of my writing actually the briefest of facts about CAIR. You should probably check out the Anti-CAIR website that delves into CAIR constantly; however read Kaufman’s article about Hussam Ayloush. Ayloush is the leader of CAIR-Southern California. Evidently Ayloush sticks to the national CAIR line of being a moderate Muslim criticizing the FBI. The FBI criticism is because the Bureau wisely has cut off official team work with CAIR because of its unindicted co-conspirator connections to the HLF convicts directly sending money to Hamas.
Anyone (like Barack Obama) entertaining ideas of western democracies establishing friendly relations with the radicals of the Islamic world should watch this video.While watching the inflammatory rhetoric of the speaker, remember that this is not a Jihadists from Iran but a professor from Kuwait - a country with every reason to be grateful to the USA for liberating it from the tyranny of Saddam Hussein\'s invasion.
This is YouTube video post by JTF.org that everyone should see. I wish to thank Twana’s Blog for alerting me of its existence (well really she wanted me to see something and I stumbled up on it). It is entitled, “The Real Islam Revealed.” Twana has it for friends only at Vox Blog so you may not be able to comment there; I am a bit more public and I am not afraid of the radicals blistering me with Islamofascist rhetoric.
I have to inject a quick note about the video: It is extremely anti-Mohammedan. It is so anti-Mohammedan that I suspect YouTube may pull it, so watch it while you can. JTF.org is very Judaic and Zionist to the point of being arbitrarily crude sometimes; however they are not afraid to point out the bad nature that indeed exists in the Quran and the Hadith – Holy Scriptures to Mohammedans.
I know there is a moderate Mohammedan that will not only be offended by “The Real Islam Revealed” but will disagree with its message. That is because the silent majority of Mohammedans in the West practice their faith in relative peace in a 21st Century style rather than the retro Medieval Islamism advocated by radical Islamofascist terrorists of both Sunni and Shia persuasion. Nonetheless whether the quiet Mohammedans agree with the video or not, JTF.org is telling the truth about Mohammedan scriptures and practices of extremists that are more and more becoming the voice of Mohammedanism.
So you so-called Moderate Mohammedans that are out there, instead of whining about Islamophobia stand up for your moderation and become vocally condemning of the Islamists that is becoming the representative voice of Mohammedanism to non-Mohammedans.
One of my friends of the Yahoo 360 Blogs – Eagle – has dedicated his blog to fight bigotry. Eagle understands the heinous incidents were the provocative acts of homicidal suicide that murdered thousands of Americans; however Eagle’s aim to defeat bigotry wishes to make it clear that Islamist terrorists were the perpetrators of a transnational act of war. In Eagle’s view all of Islam should not be held accountable for the acts of radical Islam.
Six years ago Eagle’s aim may have been a reasonable assumption about Islam; however over the years I have become to believe that the nature of Islam is derived from what that religion considers holy Scriptures: Quran, Hadith, Sunna, Sharia Law and so on. These are not nice non-violent documents except toward a believer in Islam itself. The documents call for the torment and/or execution of non-Muslims (kafir) depending on rather or not the non-Muslim submits to a dhimmi status. The dhimmi status is a state of existence of second class citizenship which must be continuously humiliated by the considered superior Islam religion. Thus if a dhimmi is not submissive to the status forced upon him/her, the person could face punishment up too execution. Executions are not pretty in Islamic cultures. This is why the Internet is littered with Islamists beheading (or sometimes stoning) Americans and Sharia Law breakers.
In the West and especially America before 9/11, I fully believe a majority of Muslims could be assessed as moderate non-violent people; however the longevity of America’s War on Terror (i.e. radical Islamists) has began to transform the Western Moderate Muslim to admire Islamism. I believe this admiration results from the very Scriptures Muslims considered hallowed.
(I have to point out as a side bar that I detest the appellation of the word “Islam” for the followers of Mohammed and Mohammed’s example. I usually refer to the followers of Mohammed as Mohammedans because “Islam” is a word that references “Submission.” I am never going to submit to Mohammedans. I utilize the word “Islam” and “Muslim” her mostly for the benefit of my friend Eagle. Do not insult your friends.)
Bigotry is an awful place to be. Bigotry unleashed in modern society has the ability to nearly enslave its victims (somewhat like the dhimmis of Islam). I realize I walk a fine line between bigotry and self-preservation. I pray I never go over the edge. You need to realize that much of the religious literature that enters American Mosques arrive from Saudi Arabia, the home of the most cruel Islamic school of thought – Wahhabism. Usama bin Laden (UBL) is a Wahhabi. The Muslim Brotherhood which dominates Islamic religion in Egypt is much like the Wahhabists of Saudi Arabia in that they the same goals (yet I believe the two are competitors in the Middle East). A majority of Muslim-American organizations that claim to be civil rights groups protecting the rights of Muslim-Americans receive money and literature from three main groups: Saudi Wahhabis, The Muslim Brotherhood (SAFrontPageMag.com)and Iranian Shia client terrorist organization Hezbollah. There are transnational terrorists other than the three above mentioned that also export radical ideology to America; however they are akin or similar to the above three.
Evidently Eagle was the recipient of a chain e-mail (I am just guessing). For in Eagle’s quest to eliminate bigotry he focuses on a valiant Muslim by the name of Ali Salem.
It is a worthy cause to fight and defeat bigotry. Also Ali Salem is a legitimate Muslim taking a stand against Islamism. However I disagree that Ali Salem represents the mindset of Islam toward the West, particularly in the Middle East. Ali Salem was persecuted for his writings and his publisher [Director of Ibn Khaldoun Center for Development Studies in Cairo] was sent to prison for seven years in Egypt. Ali Salem was detained with Ibn Khaldoun but was released ca. 2000. Ali Salem was booted out of the Egyptian Writer's Union; however he managed to get the Egyptian Courts to overturn the Writer's Union ejection. After Ali Salem's court victory and reinstatement, he quit to prove his point about Islamic bigotry. The last information - 2002 - I managed to discover by Googling that Salem is being treated by the Egyptian intelligencia as a pariah (meforum link above and http://www.library.cornell.edu/colldev/mideast/alsalem.htm).
I am afraid the longer the War on Terrorism exists the more Muslims become at least supportive of Islamist goals while a growing minority switch from the Moderate Islam to radical Islamism. Remember the small percentage of global Islamists seems low; however it translates into tens of millions of radicals out of the hundreds of millions of Muslims. That is a chunk of people that desire the death and destruction of Americans and Jews.
Thus personally, I am known as an Islamophobe. To undo this Islamophobia, trust must be earned not assumed.
