CAIR trumpets another fabricated anti-Muslim hate crime

Hate crimes are a big business: they enable the targeted group to claim victim status, which entitles that group to fullhearted Leftist support, and a free pass for all its own enormities. That's why CAIR traffics in them, and exaggerates them. This isn't the first time that CAIR has trumpeted a hate crime that turned out to have been fabricated by the supposed victims.

CAIR doesn't say outright in this story (thanks to Andrew) that it was a hate crime. It just fans the flames of suspicion:

CAIR-OH: Blast at Arab-American Restaurant 'Suspicious'
An explosion last week at a West Chester Twp. restaurant owned by a Jordanian immigrant has members of the Arab and Muslim community worried it was ethnically motivated.

The blast was the fourth time the restaurant, Steak Thyme, 8179 Princeton-Glendale Road, had been damaged by fire since May 21.

Musa Shteiwi and his family watch as investigators gather evidence at Steak Thyme last Thursday hours before a blast would send him and his son to the hospital.

Karen Dabdoub, a spokeswoman for the local chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said Muslim residents of the area talked to her over the weekend about the fires and expressed concern that similar attacks could happen again.

"Anytime an attack like this happens, the perception in the Arab and Muslim community is that it is ethnically or religiously motivated," Dabdoub said. "Especially in the absence of perpetrators being caught by law enforcement, that's the fear. Until that (motivation) is discovered, people speculate, rightly or wrongly."

Investigators said they are considering the possibility the attack is a hate crime.

Here is a Cincinnati Enquirer story (thanks again to Andrew), "Manager and son blamed in shop fire," explaining that the store owners set the fire:

WEST CHESTER TWP. - The explosion and fire at the Steak Thyme Subs restaurant was part of an arson conspiracy that included the two men who were severely burned in the fire, police said Thursday.
Police have arrested Joshua Hunter, 22, of Xenia, on an arson charge related to setting the third of four fires at the restaurant on Princeton-Glendale Road in the past two months. But that's just the beginning of a tangled tale.

Police said the manager's son, Essa Shteiwi, 27, hired Hunter to set the restaurant on fire. Police also say his father, Musa Shteiwi, 57, knew about it....

Will CAIR issue a retraction?

No retractions will EVER be forthcoming. They will join in the muslim marching parades. Actually, they probably are already.

freewoman | July 23, 2006 4:00 PM

Notice how CAIR whines and cries when something happens to a muslim when he was either to blame or not blame for, and yet when a muslim college student drives into a crowd of students, they are quiet as a mouse, except of course to say , don't jump to conclusions. Or when a muslim drives his vehicle along with his passengers, the family pets, screams allahu akbar as he's speeding to the paint dept in Home Depot. Not a word. And there are plenty more instances.

These people do not realize that, every time one of their jihadists pulls an ignorant and potentially murderous assault on Americans, the closer it comes to payback time. We already think they are idiots for believing in islam. Are they trying to get us to have open season on muslims?

Domestos | July 23, 2006 4:12 PM

Is there a pattern here? Four recent incidents (inc. the two above), all claiming hate-crimes and trying to scam the insurance - at least one of them to finance jihad.

I am digging through the Hadiths right now, looking to discover if insurance fraud is condoned by the kornaic god Allah. Yeah yeah, we all know that Allah commands us to commit robbery and murder and pedophilia and sex slavery, but this insurance fraud issue is a sticky subject for us Islamic Scholars. It feels Moslem, yes, but where is it in the Koran or the Sunnah? Dunno. Looking.

It's there APF. It's called stealing from the kuffirs. It's legal in the war manual.

David England | July 23, 2006 4:40 PM

Why would CAIR issue a retraction? It was obviously a Zionist plot that entrapped the faithful.

It is well known that among the Arab "Muslim" community crimes such as arson for insurance pay out all quite common, as well as credit card fraud, tax evasion, smuggling tax free citrates, and linty of crimes of relatively little risk and much profit. Really, anything that those descendents of desert caravan bandits could do to rob the infidels blind.

I know of a large Egyptian Muslim family that was living in Brooklyn, New York that was evading the FBI quite successfully, moving around defrauding credit card companies, department stores, and unsuspecting identity fraud victims out of hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. The interesting thing is that this family was living next door to a Coptic family which was too afraid, and for good reason, to turn them in.

I keep telling many naive "fresh of the boat" (FOBs) Copts to cease dealing with Muslim owned businesses and even stores with Muslims running them. However, some of these people see no alternative due to their non-existent English skills in dealing with such businesses making them readymade victims for identity theft. A good FOB friend was the victim of identity fraud after applying for a job with Shoprite and dealing with an "Arab" manger who photocopied all my friend's ID's, Social Security Card, Driver License and Green Card. The interesting thing is that the Arab manger convinced my friends that he got the job and had them fill the hiring paper only to call him later to apologize about not needing him right now. My poor friend went through hell to restore his credit.

I encourage all patriotic infidels not to patron Muslim owned or operated businesses which help facilitate crimes and fund the worldwide Jihad.

ZenaWarriorPrincess | July 23, 2006 4:49 PM

insurance fraud can be found in the koran under you can lie and cheat non-muslims for the good of the cause,ie islam. cheating non-muslilms is good for everything a muslim can think of, while they are bowing down five times a day. all this work can be put to good uses.

Hello everyone,
I am outraged that CAIR would attempt to brand this as a hate crime. I live in Cincinnati adn have followed this story. That was the first assumption by all the media outlets here that it MIGHT be a hate crime. But police ruled that out from teh beginning since they had no evidence of it.

I for one am planning on contacting the local CAIR offical and giving her a piece of my mind. Plus I want her to know full well that the nonmuslims are watching her every move adn when she slips up, we will be here to pint it out to the public.

Keep up the fight everyone!!!

Here's another "crime" that CAIR has gotten the Fedhimmi Bureau of Investigation to, "of course" investigate:

http://www.wreg.com/Global/story.asp?S=5133866&nav=3HvE

This incident happened nearly one year ago. It seems someone purchased a Quran, took it into the woods, and videotaped themselves shooting it full of holes. He, or they, then threw it into the lawn of a Chattanooga, TN mosque, most likely the only one in Hamilton County. The video later showed up on My Space. Here's the problem, if this is an English Quran, with no Arabic, it is not a "holy quran." A foreign language quran is considered merely an interpretation, not the real word of you-know-who. A small letter quran can actually be touched by infidels, used as a coaster, or read in the bathroom. We should all stop using capital "Q" to designate an English or other translation. The FBI should drop this investigation, but will not. If any crime has been committed it is littering, not a Federal crime, and the lowest level misdemeamor.

This and other incidents are worth following.

Roxane | July 23, 2006 7:35 PM

Funny thing is, as soon as I read this story I wondered if it was a case of another Muslim trying to run an insurance scam. How many times before have these "attacks" turned out to be fabricated attempts to get insurance money.

XRDC | July 23, 2006 8:10 PM

I think "arson" was a convenient excuse to sweep KARMA under the table. There are happy cattle in India this day!

I'll try to find the story for a CAIR-canada bogus Hate-crime presented to the media and Muslim community.
There was a house fire-bombed and two children died , because they were Muslims CAIR hijacked the story as Islamophobia and a Hate-crime .
But as I discovered from the trial and conviction of the man caught for this crime it ends up he knew the Mother and was Arab/Muslim
and hired 2 local village idiots to do a Revenge-attack from being spurn by her earlier .
CAIR-Can never posted a retraction of the article inciting hatred against non-Muslim Canadians and Canada in general.

"I encourage all patriotic infidels not to patron Muslim owned or operated businesses which help facilitate crimes and fund the worldwide Jihad."
-- from a posting above

"Patriotic infidels" are called upon above. But patriotism is not even needed. It is enough to possess the instinct for self-preservation.

SeifulKaffir | July 23, 2006 9:10 PM

Will CAIR issue a retraction? No, they won't. This is a littl eoff topic,but I was wondering if anyone has any info on Sheik Ibrahim Demali? He was a guest speaker recently at a CAIR-San Diego sponsored gathering denouncing "Israeli War Crimes and Genocide against Palestinians and Lebanese" and I noticed that most of his comments were verbatim HAMAS propaganda. I will be attending a lecture of his tonight and I need ammo. Please send ASAP.

SeifulKaffir | July 23, 2006 9:11 PM

Soory, Sheik Ibrahim Dremali.

I am digging through the Hadiths right now, looking to discover if insurance fraud is condoned by the kornaic god Allah. Posted by Alarmed

I thought that insurance was considered a form of usury or some such baloney and muslims are either not allowed to have it or profit from it. Maybe it's life insurance they can't have, I'm not sure. Insurance fraud is probably sanctioned under the umbrella of jizya, that ingenious Islamic extortion system designed just for infidels.

Xero G | July 23, 2006 11:11 PM

Why should CAIR retract the story? If Western society hadn't created the racist conditions which cause Islamophobia and invariably led to an insufficient number of restaurant patrons, the Muslim owner would not have been forced to defend his financial honor with a firebomb.

EVERYTHING bad that befalls Muslims can eventually be traced to the World Zionist Conspiracy and thank God CAIR is there to remind us of just that. [sarcasm off]

Re: CAIR trumpets another fabricated anti-Muslim hate crime

They are "set-up" artists. People are becoming offended by them. It's necessary to write Senators and reps demanding a congressional investigation of these civil-rights-for me-but-not-for-thee (as in Saudia Arabia and elsewhere) crowd. As Senator Schumer has noted: they have known jihad-terrorist connections.

Frank | July 24, 2006 7:42 AM

I wonder if CAIR would be concerned if textbooks in the US instruct students that Muslims are "apes and pigs" and warns students not to "greet," "befriend" or "respect" Muslims? Is that hate?

Fred | July 24, 2006 8:14 AM

Insurance fraud by Muslims is OK as the infidels are taking precautions to protect themselves from the will of allah.
It is a serious problem in Britain particularly with motor insurance were deliberate "accidents" have become a major business but we are not allowed to talk about it.

jihadist | July 24, 2006 9:26 AM

There are good n bad people in every society, you can't blame a society/religion if some one commits a crime ... A criminal is equilent punishable in ISLAM as anywhere else...
... Look at ISLAM (the religion) not the muslim ...

I guess following a religion based on such blatant lies must make it difficult to seperate fact from fiction. The alternative is to take a long hard look at the religion they follow, and we all know that this particular religion does not stand up to even the most basic questioning.
