Now Geoff Metcalf, Michael Graham's replacement, has annoyed CAIR just as much as Graham did by noting that the Qur'an tells Muslims to lie to unbelievers. Note that in this CAIR press release, Radio Host Claims Quran Teaches Muslims To Lie (thanks to Twostellas), they don't say that what Metcalf said was false. They can't. Why not? Because it's true.
As I explain in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), religious deception of unbelievers is taught by the Qur’an itself: "Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers. If any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah; except by way of precaution, that ye may guard yourselves from them" (Qur’an 3:28). In other words, don’t make friends with unbelievers except to "guard yourselves from them:" pretend to be their friends so that you can strengthen yourself against them. The distinguished Qur’anic commentator Ibn Kathir explains that this verse teaches that if "believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the disbelievers," they may "show friendship to the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly." The Qur’an also warns Muslims that those who forsake Islam will be consigned to Hell — except those forced to do so, but who remain true Muslims inwardly: "Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters unbelief — except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in faith — but such as open their breast to unbelief, on them is wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful penalty" (Qur’an 16:106). Ibn Kathir explains that "the scholars agreed that if a person is forced into disbelief, it is permissible for him to either go along with them in the interests of self-preservation..."
This is not the first time CAIR has protested as "anti-Islamic incitement" a statement about Islam that was simply true.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- (OfficialWire) -- 08/03/05 -- A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today called on a Washington, D.C., radio station to address the incitement of anti-Muslim hatred caused by its talk show hosts. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued that call after a replacement for a talk show host suspended for anti-Islam remarks made similarly Islamophobic comments.On Friday, July 29, WMAL-AM replacement host Geoff Metcalf stated: "And by the way, let me just add a sidebar here that's significant, and everybody forgets this, but according to the Quran, believers in Islam are not required to tell infidels, and that's us, the truth. So they apparently have permission to lie when it is appropriate." Most callers to the program expressed similar hostility to Muslims and to the faith of Islam.
Metcalf was replacing host Michael Graham, who was suspended without pay by the station for stating repeatedly that "Islam is a terrorist organization." Graham was suspended when CAIR initiated a public campaign against WMAL and the station's advertisers after receiving complaints from Muslim listeners.
In a statement, WMAL President and General Manager Chris Berry said that Graham would be suspended for statements that "crossed the line." "We do not condone his position and believe his statements were irresponsible," said Berry. (WMAL is owned by the Walt Disney Co.)
"We are strong supporters of the First Amendment, but it is disingenuous to misuse it as a shield for incitement to religious hatred," said CAIR Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. "WMAL needs to address the promotion of Islamophobia by its talk show hosts if the station is to maintain credibility with mainstream listeners and advertisers." Hooper said CAIR is calling on Washington-area Muslims to contact WMAL advertisers and express their concerns. He added that people of all faiths may obtain a free copy of the Quran, Islam's revealed text.
Get that Qur'an and look up 3:28 and 16:106. CAIR hasn't taken them out of the book.
"We are strong supporters of the First Amendment, but it is disingenuous to misuse it as a shield for incitement to religious hatred," said CAIR Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper.
He should know.
"WMAL needs to address the promotion of Islamophobia by its talk show hosts if the station is to maintain credibility with mainstream listeners and advertisers."
So is CAIR the determining factor on who has credibility and who does not?
Oh Dougie........please...just shut up, can't cha?
Islam and islamic clerics all around the world are constantly lying.
The Iranian tv special about the jews stealing the palestinians eyes for transplant was a work that even gobbels would have been proud of.
In islamic countries all around the world they are teaching that all the be-headings, mass murders, mass rapes in the sudan, the suciide bombings are all done not by muslims..
But by zionists and the CIA in order to make islam look bad (if thats even possible)
Never mind the sheer overwhelming evidence on
Film
Video tape,
DVD's
Newpaper reports
Pictures
Filers
audio recordings
Television broadcasts
With all this evidence the islamic clerics are STILL Lying through their teeth as mohammed taught them in the Koran..
Islam is a LIE...

YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Take not for friends unbelievers rather than believers: Do ye wish to offer Allah an open proof against yourselves?
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! Choose not disbelievers for (your) friends in place of believers. Would ye give Allah a clear warrant against you?
SHAKIR: O you who believe! do not take the unbelievers for friends rather than the believers; do you desire that you should give to Allah a manifest proof against yourselves?

YUSUFALI: "Lead to destruction those whom thou canst among them, with thy (seductive) voice; make assaults on them with thy cavalry and thy infantry; mutually share with them wealth and children; and make promises to them." But Satan promises them nothing but deceit.
PICKTHAL: And excite any of them whom thou canst with thy voice, and urge thy horse and foot against them, and be a partner in their wealth and children, and promise them. Satan promiseth them only to deceive.
SHAKIR: And beguile whomsoever of them you can with your voice, and collect against them your forces riding and on foot, and share with them in wealth and children, and hold out promises to them; and the Shaitan makes not promises to them but to deceive:
So in other words, CAIR itself may be knowingly telling lies every single time they make a statement.
But we already knew that.
miira:
Muslims lie even when it is not necessary. What did Paolo quote from Chancon de Roland, "They are traitors by choice".
Muslims were sending videos of beheadings to each other on the mobile, and glorying in the fact that jihadis were beheading civilians as they lay trussed up as sacrificial animals. And yet they deny that this is the handiwork of muslims.
Such is the level of psychosis here, that this ordinary person has no way of analysing or comprehending it. I'm going to get in touch with an expert on mental illness and see if he can furnish some answers.

The word "al-Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing or disguising one's
beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies at a
time of eminent danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from
physical and/or mental injury." A one-word translation would be
"Dissimulation."
No, it's not just for Shiites

I wouldn't say that they were mentally ill. I WOULD say that they were psychopaths.
A psychopath isn't able to feel empathy for others. They think about themselves only.
I have known two psychopaths, (not muslims and not terrorists) and their behaviour is the same as the one that muslims exhibit.
I posted this on another thread but it is worth repeating in this one..
The muslims on one side are screaming islamophobia and on the other side

As London braces for another feared attack, two prominent British Islamic militants say British civilians are fair targets.
“We don’t live in peace with you anymore,” said Abu Uzair in an interview on BBC Newsnight.

Now i know why cair is so deadset against silencing anyone who criticizes Vile Islam.
The muslims are telling us what they are going to do...

And what is it with ther reporter throwing in the comment "Islamophobic"?
Are they Truthophobic?
Oh yea this is funny! For the benefit of the people who do not already know, you can subscribe to CAIR's e-mail alerts and they provide you with all the ammunition to fight their action alerts. If you write one good e-mail then you can copy and paste to every organization that they provide on their website. I reccommend that you copy and paste and do not send from inside of their system. Also, do not use your employers e-mail address as they will try to get you fired. Try not to get to hot under your collar and send them nasty e-mails either as they will come after you if they can. But the great thing about this is they do all the work and you can utilize their resources to counter the lies they try to spread to the uninformed and therefore you are telling people the truth. Have a great day people!
"...if the station is to maintain credibility..."
no credibility problems in this house
Be careful what you wish for CAIR.
What I find most interesting about this is not CAIR's predictable knee jerk reaction. But that so many people are aware that Muslims lie and that the Koran condones lying to infidels.I'm sure Muslims don't want that to become common knowledge.
I am so glad to see this information here at Jihad Watch! Starting about a week ago, I've been crazed about the implications of what's happening at WMAL (WMAL is my local talk-radio station, here in the D.C. area) For the first time since I found Jihad Watch, I haven't been visiting every day--I've been that busy.
I've spent round-the-clock hours blogging on this, sending out emails, calling the station's sponsors, etc. Just when I thought that Graham has this thing whipped, up popped the Metcalf comment about taqiyya.
I have blogged so many articles, fired out so many communiques, etc., that my carpal tunnel syndrome has flared up.
We must not allow CAIR to get away with attacking talk-radio! The web will be next.
My American friend who works in Saudi cannot access Jihad Watch, so I have to sent her entire articles by copy-and-paste. Can the same happen here? I didn't think so until this WMAL flap started up.
