CAIR again demonstrates its commitment to "dialogue" and "mutual understanding"

Click on the picture to see video of CAIR's Ibrahim Hooper demonstrating anew the depth and genuineness of CAIR's stated commitment to "dialogue" and "mutual understanding," as he expels a CBN correspondent from a CAIR presser.

In "CAIR Fears CBN News," Erick Stakelbeck provides details for CBN News:

You could call it an annual rite of passage for CBN News--sort of our version of March Madness. The Council on American-Relations (CAIR) holds a press conference in Washington, D.C. CBN News, in good faith, sends a reporter and camera crew to record the event and ask CAIR's representatives the relevant questions. After all, CAIR bills itself as America's leading Muslim civil rights organization and a shining beacon of interfaith goodwill. So who better to ask about Islamic affairs here and abroad? And yet, like a vampire to garlic, time and again, CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper has ushered CBN News off the premises, recoiling at the mere mention of our name.

It happened again today, as CBN attempted to cover a CAIR press conference announcing that the six "peace-loving" Muslim imams removed from a US Airways flight in Minneapolis last November have filed a lawsuit against the airline and Minnesota's Metropolitan Airports Commission. To see how it went down today when CBN News cameraman Steve Jacobi tried to enter CAIR's Washington, D.C. headquarters, watch the clip above.

This was actually the third time in the past three years that CAIR has ejected CBN News from one of their events. When asked by a Fox News reporter why CBN News was not allowed into today's press conference, Hooper answered:

"We have long barred the Christian Broadcasting Network from our news conferences because of their long, long history of vicious, anti-Muslism bigotry. And we have no motivation to promote that kind of intolerance. And it's a private function and we have decided they are not welcome."

C'mon, Ibrahim. Blacklisting a network simply because it calls attention to your radical, Wahhabi views is the height of "intolerance," and a classic totalitarian tactic. For the record, Washington Times reporter Audrey Hudson was also escorted from today's event. Her crime? Calling into question the legitimacy of the six "peace-loving imams'" sob story. Perhaps Hooper thinks America operates like Saudi Arabia--the world capital of Wahhabism--from which CAIR has taken substantial donations (amid repeated denials from Hooper). Or maybe Honest Ibe is loathe to explain how at least three former CAIR employees have been arrested on terrorism-related charges. And Ibe, what about CAIR's ties to the terrorist group Hamas?

We here at CBN News would love to ask you about this, Ibe. Hey, all we ask is that you give us the same audience that clueless government officials give CAIR on a regular basis. Is that too much to ask? If it is, well, then I'll just have to stand by my assertion that CAIR fears CBN News. Period.

It is so obvious that those vile "scholars" were provocateurs, possibly testing the airline's defenses but more likely creating the basis of a lawsuit. Am hopeful that the gentle acceptance of CAIR -- the "civil rights" organization that supports sharia -- is reversing now.

Muslims fear the truth...they really fear it when the Non Muslims know it...


you do not want these people in your neighborhood.ban Muslim Immigration.

Hooper the Revert has earned a psychological study. He, and Yvonne Ridley, and Adam Gadahn, and Richard Reid, and David Hicks, and Jose Padilla, and Ingrid Matson, all deserve separate studies, then to be collected in a book about Western conoverts or "reverts" to Islam. What features do they have in common? What conclusions can one draw about the mental makeup of those who are specially susceptible to the siren-song of Islam. What's that phrase? Long overdue. Yes, such a study is long overdue.

Seven People In Search of Complete Regulation.
Seven People In Search of Total Certainty.
Seven Types of Unambiguity.

This is as sad a commentary on the state of the American press as it is on CAIR. The other "journalists" should have backed their notebooks, microphones and cameras up and followed CBN and the Washington Times out the door.

CAIR's Ibrahim Hooper cannot handle straight forward questions about the practices of Islam from CBN or other reporters that might do the same. He's being selective and allowing those that represent the dhimmi media to his news conferences.

He wants to put a spin out there that casts these flying imans' as innocent victims instead of provocatuers trying to test the system in an attempt to break down our security barriers that have been developed by homeland security for the airline industry.

If CAIR or the imans new New York Muslim attorney gather any legs with this lawsuit against US Airways, or any other airline, it will end up making a mockery of the safeguards that have been put in place and that every day Americans as well as all the other non-Muslim countries put up with 24 hours a day.

The obvious irony of it all enrageous me when I know that the little old lady from Pasadena is still subject to a complete shake down if she happens to change planes for any reason.

I missed a changed flight last year because TSA pulls you out for extra security when you do this, so it was all for naught that day.

Please tell me no person is surprised that an Islamist front group is using fascist tactics when it suits them? Islam IS fascism.

And these vermin just continue to spread around North America using our laws against us. All I can do is shake my head in awe at the apathy of the American and Canadian peoples.

Well, back to Jihad Mapping. Have to be ready for the future, after all.

Seven case studies that clearly show our education system fails to educate about a most vital aspect of a young persons future life. Are any truths about Islam being taught to our young people? I know there are many instances where our young students are forced to wear a burka, eat Islamic food, participate in learning verses from Islamic teachings....It is disgusting considering Americans have forcibly removed Christian prayer from school, descrated the Bible, forbid the display of the Ten Commandments and have forbid other displays regarding Christian or Jewish history....


It is like committing suicide....

Ibe doesn't appear to have missed many meals as of late. This is important to note because cultural sensitivity is not lost on his beloved associates in Gitmo where the food is good and "psychological" studies are best performed.

I think CBN needs to take legal action. Hooper's statements are slanderous if they cannot be substantiated, and clearly actionable. Someone's got to call this group to account. CAIR seems to like going to court over defamation issues, but seem to have trouble establishing a case when on the offensive -- let's see how they do on the defense.

OT

While poking around on the CBN News website there is an interview with Pastor Danny Nalliah who is in the US to urge Congress to defeat a hate crimes bill which can be used against Christians.

He is the pastor from Australia charged with villifying muslims so he knows whereof he speaks.

@Hugh
"Hooper the Revert has earned a psychological study."

Why would anyone want to be a Pharisee?

1) Repressed Homosexuality
2) Low serotonin levels
3) Homocidal impulses
4) Misogyny (see repressed Homosexuality)
5) Self-Hatred (primarily affects Afro-Americans)

"And it's a private function and we have decided they are not welcome."


...sounds like a Muslim creed regarding Non Muslims....

I have heard that CAIR is planning an even bigger, more elaborate building than they already have, several blocks from the Capitol. Their handlers in Gulf States must be well pleased with their American stooges. However, all may not what it appears to be. I may be more hopeful that I am realistic, but I do think their star is fading. Even some liberal, sympathetic politicians seem to be getting the true picture of that 'civil rights' organization.

This couldn't possibly be discrimination could it?

Those pesky Christians. How they suffer from Infidelobia.

Hugh-

I have a hunch Ibby is challenged in his manhood. Every time I see that fat guy with his prick face my intuition tells me that. When I was in college, I took one of those career, psychological profile tests. It said I was "quite perceptive" in reading people. In fact, it suggested psychology as my field, but I have no interest in that. BTW, Ibby has a personality similar to Herman Goering in terms of his potential to sadistic behavior.

He will be particularly afraid of someone like Robert. Ibby will be very nervous around him. If he had the power, he would bully Robert-and worse. Ibby is potentially dangerous.

--------------------------

BTW, on this Flying Phonies issue: if US Air has hard evidence (video, audio) of their stunt, they should ask the US Justice Dept. to investigate the stunt since the Phonies are alleging discrimination-a violation of their civil rights. I'm sure US Air's insurance covers them, but costs can be defrayed by kicking a lot of the investigation to the FBI. If CAIR wants an investigation, they should get one.

Microscopic Ibby. He's a real charmer. I'll bet any gals he knew years ago know exactly what's going on with him. He has good reason to be secretive.

Iblis Hooper and the rest of the CAIR crowd should be expelled to the ummah. Right after WW1 several communists were sent to the USSR in this manner so why not do the same with this bunch of anti-American terrorist lovers? Maybe a few years in one of the numerous Islamic paradises will bring some clarity of thought in this rabble.

Let me translate for you: the phrase "peace loving" when claimed by any muslim, really means "death loving", especially, death to infidels, i.e., everybody else who is not muslim, preferably by beheading, which is a means of committing murder that is especially joyful and symbolic to muslims........ they get their 'jollies' doing beheadings......

This article in todays RedStarTribune copywrited from the New Duranty Times http://www.startribune.com/587/story/1053042.html should be in the op-ed section, but somehow found it's way to the front page.

One of my favorite lines from the article: "CAIR and its supporters say its accusers are a small band of people who hate Muslims and deal in half-truths."

Yeah, right.

I heard about this on John Gibson's radio show yesterday. Wow! What tolerance for Christianity! Dougie wants extraordinary tolerance for issssllllaaaammm, but gives no tolerance in return.
Hey, that describes islam to a "T"
Press conference to decry the "islamophobia" he sees, throws out Christian press......hmmm.

what does cair and the cult of islam fear????


2.2 billion Christians

1.3 billion muslims


sobering when truth is revealed.

From the Shakey_Premise's link
Founded in 1994, CAIR had eight chapters at the time of the Sept. 11 attacks, said Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the group, but has grown to about 30 chapters because American Muslims have felt unjustly scrutinized ever since.

Yep, I can't figure out why anyone would think muslims need a little more attention in the WOT.

From what I skimmed off of TV last night US Airways will not be an early cave in. They came out with a good public statement --->>>

US Airways released a statement saying it hadn't seen the lawsuit, but that its initial position had not changed: that its employees "acted appropriately, and we continue to back the actions of our crew and ground employees in this case."

"that its employees "acted appropriately, and we continue to back the actions of our crew and ground employees in this case."

...I am sure the security video camera films will be quite revealing should this ever go to court....

....with the apparent Muslim Ploy of bad behaviour intended to strike fear into the infidel and to provoke a reaction that can be used for political purposes or lawsuits...it becomes very clear more video cameras are needed for "additional security," not only for the passengers but for the American liberties....

Ibo Hooper always seems to have his smirky mouth open.

Catching flies I guess.

Nah-this pile of poop is letting out the flies. Every picture I've ever seen of this punk makes it look like he's permanently constipated. I wish he'd be expelled to Afghanistan-let him embrace his Taliban brothers there-if he can handle it.

Wonderful news, Muslims bar Christian broadcasting.

One can not buy stories to sway the public like this. Islamists are such idiots.

I think We have found the cause for globing warming....

errrr. global warming...

dennisw-

Good. I would not be surprised if US Air has audio and video that would appall the public and there might even be a demand that the Phonies be prosecuted if it is made public. However, I doubt US Air would make such audio/video public because they just don't want to get down in the gutter.

If they do have conclusive proof, they should request the FBI to investigate. That would get US Air out of the picture. Co's don't like to sue the public-even people like these phonies. It looks bad for a Co. to do that. Anyway, I think US Air has hard evidence and that they should request a "natural" Justice Dept. investigation.

5) Self-Hatred (primarily affects Afro-Americans)

Posted by: Ynkedoodl2


Same goes for the liberal self-hating Jews.. I am not saying anything new here. More than a few Jewish people have deplored the self-hating liberal Jews who make life miserable for everyone else. Europeans also have caught the bug.

if only islam would act on its own self-hatred instead of taking it out on us. We are responsible for making them feel inferior, after all.

Michael Reagan says this incident has made him an”Islamophobe”. “Attention ciar, I’m an islamophobe, your whole religion scares the hell outa me”. That’s what he said today on his radio show. The plot thickens.

Did I read this correctly , CAIR held a press conference to label a Private business as a Bigot and Islamophobe for unfairly removing someone from their property.
And then CAIR/Hooper unfairly removes a person from their private business property by presupposing the person is a threat based on past experiences by people witin that group.

CAIR should lose their Charity Status for Tax reason because they have proven they are a Private entity that bars people from their property for Religious or Political held views , maybe the CBN should use this actualy video EVIDENCE to Sue CAIR based on CAIR's own grounds for Suing a Airline for bigotry.

Here we have the Islamist calling the Jihadist
anti-Muslim.

Know Islam - No peace

This was actually the third time in the past three years that CAIR has ejected CBN News from one of their events. When asked by a Fox News reporter why CBN News was not allowed into today's press conference, Hooper answered:


Christian Broadcasting Network from our news conferences because of their long, long history of vicious, anti-Muslism bigotry. And we have no motivation to promote that kind of intolerance. And it's a private function and we have decided they are not welcome."


You see, hate and intolerance is perfectly acceptable as long as you express it against Christians.

Anti-Christian bigotry has a long and vicious history in islamic culture.

That's why they are the honored guests in the White House and with "Pe-Lousy" (you know her as pelosie) and her ilk.

CAIR, you may be a welcomed and honored guest of the American government, but true Americans hate you for everything you represent!

We will NOT submit!

I've never heard of a "private" press conference. Isn't that an oxymoron? The purpose of a press conference is to disseminate information for public consumption, so how could it be private?

I don't know why any media representatives showed up for this travesty but if CAIR wanted only journalists sympathetic to their agenda of sedition and perfidy, they should have said so.

I hope US Air does not settle with these demons to avoid adverse publicity. It's time for CAIR to suffer a resounding and humiliating defeat in court and if they win this case, I will never again feel safe on an airplane. They should be in jail for what they did or better yet, they should be deported for their threatening behavior. I'm convinced the entire scenario was planned for the sole purpose of a publicized lawsuit coordinated by CAIR, and to intimidate the airlines and screeners.

I was absolutely disgusted to see Geraldo on Hannity and Colmes tonight defending the actions of these flying Imans to Colmes.

Then it was Hannity's turn and he told Geraldo that he was absoluely wrong on this, and then Hannity proceeded to list all the reasons why the airline was correct in the actions that were taken. Geraldo tried to talk over Hannity, but Hannity wouldn't let him; Geraldo finally gave up and openly admitted that he did not know about the facts of the case against the behavior of the Imans.

At that point I said that's enough of that crap and why are they letting this ill informed idiot comment on this at all! And with that I turned off the TV and went out to a nice dinner with my wife.

Hooper is a convert. The importance of conversion as part of Jihad is often overlooked.

The leading German newsmagazine SPIEGEL ONLINE informs us in an article headed 'Angst-Ridden Germans Look for Answers -- And Find Them in the Koran' from January 18 that, according to a study, 'some 4,000 people converted to Islam between July 2004 and June 2005' in Germany or, as a sociologist of religion (whatever that is) put it: ' "overcoming of a personal crisis" is often a prime motive, frequently in combination with a search for the Other: "People want to be different," she says.'

So in times past, people tried to become better in difficult personal circumstances. Now they want to be "different".

Which neatly sums up the problem.

By the way, the entire article smacks of dhimmitude, but that is not the topic here right now.
