Serge Trifkovic writes about CAIR's jihad against his book and the NR book appeasement flap in Chronicles (thanks to all who sent this in):
By 2003 CAIR felt emboldened to complain about the FBI surveillance of mosques, but remained mute when it was revealed soon thereafter that the Al-Farooq mosque in New York was complicit in collecting funds for al-Qaeda. Undeterred, it has continued to demand amendments to the USA PATRIOT Act to protect the Muslims from eavesdropping. It did not comment on last year’s spate of bombings, from Casablanca to Istanbul; the search of its archived press releases for “Madrid” give zero results; but it never misses an opportunity to attack the slightest sign of “disrespect” for Islam in America.CAIR’s longer-term agenda became apparent in May 2004, when it issued a report claiming that anti-Muslim incidents in the United States had increased by almost 70 percent in 2003. The study “outlined” (euphemism for superficial or fraudulent research) over a thousand “incidents and experiences of anti-Muslim violence, discrimination and harassment” last year, “the highest number of Muslim civil rights cases ever recorded.” (The word experience is another coded term: It denotes an entirely subjective view of a situation or event that could not be pumped up into an “incident.”) According to CAIR’s reckoning, hate crimes alone jumped by an unprecedented 121 percent. On the basis of this report CAIR demanded a public inquiry to post-9/11 policies impacting the Muslim community, legislative actions to curb the use of profiling by law enforcement agencies, strengthening of hate crime prosecutions, and “modifications” to the PATRIOT Act to end “abuses” of the Muslim community.
With that “report” and the associated demands, reflected in the campaign to censor books uncomfortable to jihad, the real agenda of CAIR is finally clear. CAIR is a hate group that is not interested in promoting anyone’s “rights,” let alone increasing any “understanding” on anything. It does not want to change the nature of discourse on Islam in America, it wants to transform America into a barren wasteland of mind-numbing uniformity of thought and feeling on par with Saudi Arabia and Mauritania. Messrs. Awad and Hooper are not Islamic community activists seeking to better the lot of their co-religionists, they are political visionaries.
If CAIR sees itself as the acceptable face of Islam presented to the public and the media, one is led to wonder what “extremist” Islam must be like. It is probably correct that CAIR does not represent the majority of Muslims in America, who are said to be mostly moderates who wish a quiet life. This may be so, but it is irrelevant—not because such moderates are rare, but because they are unimportant. Religions, like political ideologies, are pushed along by money, power, and tiny vocal minorities. Those minorities must not be appeased. If and when you get a call from “Dougie” Hooper warning you that “Islamophobia” may lead to violence, tell him what he can do with his threats and call the law.
Read it all.

"Religions, like political ideologies, are pushed along by money, power, and tiny vocal minorities. Those minorities must not be appeased."
Hilter and the Bolsheviks only needed a politically active minority to get themselves into power. They were given too much time to build up their minority and mobilise it so as to seize total power. CAIR shouldn't be given that advantage. I wish they could be banned now. They are already big enough now to do real damage to our society.
Why is it that our government allows the existance of the terrorists at cair? Several Congressfolk have stated that they know these sub-human beasts have ties to terrorism, yet they permit them to have their terrorist headquarters blocks from the capital building. Member after member find themselves behind bars. Is it because our politicians put contributions and political (anti)correctness ahead of the war on islamic terror? Or is cair right where they want them, and the hammer is getting ready to fall?
Isn't it odd that nobody seems to know who dougie hooper is and where he's really from? Did he don the condom cap to cover that massive bald spot? Was islam the only cult that could meet his head covering needs? I wonder if he's tried "hairclub for terrorists"?

Let's get something straight here; most of us don't "disrespect" Islam, we have "contempt" for it. Lots and lots of pure, unadulterated "contempt."
Islam is nothing more than a bunch of grown people with the intellectual/emotional maturity of two-year-olds; if these two-year-old equivalents weren't discharging their frustration by having temper-tantrums with bombs instead of carrying them out in the usual manner, we'd all be rolling on the floor laughing at them. As it is, we all just roll our eyes up to the ceiling every time we hear anything about this ridiculous belief system!
Take away their bombs, and their arrested development is positively FUNNY!
Good point cubed.
again with the moderates,
no muslim is a moderate
you can't be a moderate muslim
if you are a moderate muslim you are an infidel
a religion and people who condone terrorism is not moderate.
The way I see it, there were 3,000 anti-American hate crimes perpetrated on US citizens by Muslims in 2001.
Thank you, KentuckyGentry. I would like to say the same to eve_anne-gelical. Well said.
Sooner or later CAIR is going to piss off the wrong person and get their just due. I only hope that it is sooner and not later.
