Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

California to proclaim August “Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month”

Jul 30, 2016 11:36 am By Robert Spencer

‪This is being done at the behest of Hamas-linked CAIR. Is Assemblymember Bill Quirk aware that Hamas-linked CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department? CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) A California chapter distributed a poster telling Muslims not to talk to the FBI, and a Florida chapter distributed pamphlets with the same message. CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates.

Does Quirk know or care about any of that?

Meanwhile, when do the families of the victims of jihad get their moment in the sun? When is Victims of Jihad Appreciation and Awareness Month?

And will there be special celebrations of Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month in San Bernardino?

Bill-Quirk

#‎CAIR‬: California State Assembly to Proclaim August as ‘Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month’

(SACRAMENTO, CA, 7/29/16) – On Monday, August 1, the California chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR-CA) will join Assemblymember Bill Quirk (D-Hayward) in the presentation of House Resolution 59, which recognizes the month of August 2016 as “Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month.”

WHAT: Presentation of HR 59, to Recognize August 2016 as “Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month
WHEN: Program begins at 11:30 a.m.; Resolution Presentation, 1 p.m.
WHERE: Program – Capitol Room 2163; Resolution Presentation – Assembly Floor
CONTACT: CAIR-Sacramento Valley Programs Consultant Maheen Ahmed, 916.605.6099 mahmed@sacval.cair.com; CAIR-Sacramento Valley Executive Director Basim Elkarra, 916.441.6269 belkarra@cair.com

“I am proud to celebrate the first ever Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month by honoring generations of Muslim Americans for their many social, cultural, and economic contributions to California,” Assemblymember Quirk stated. “The rhetoric surrounding this election makes the presentation of this resolution more important for me,” he said. “It is appropriate to acknowledge and promote awareness of the myriad invaluable contributions of Muslim Americans in California and across the country, and extend to them the respect and camaraderie every American deserves.”

CAIR-CA’s recently-released Civil Rights Report indicates that bias incidents spiked by 58 percent between 2014 and 2015, which is attributed to public hostility generated by international acts of violence and hateful rhetoric utilized by candidates since the start of the election cycle.

A total of 1,556 incidents were reported to CAIR-California over the course of the 2015-year. These included complaints involving: employment discrimination, federal law enforcement questioning, housing discrimination, immigration issues, hate crimes, school bullying, and several categories.

“During these difficult times of increased anti-Muslim rhetoric and hate incidents, Assemblymember Quirk’s resolution and recognition of Muslim Americans is uplifting for our community and immensely appreciated,” said CAIR-Sacramento Valley Executive Director Basim Elkarra. “It is truly a historic moment for all Californians.”…

    Yep, and there will probably be several mass killings for them ro appreciate.

      Jul 30, 2016 at 11:49 am

      it is also “Muslim awareness” month – does this mean Californians have to be more aware of them to avoid getting killed in a mass killing? or does it mean they WILL be seeing more of them ( like deer crossing highways ) because of an increase in immigration?

      Why does the Pope like Muslims so much? Because of all the MASS-killings.

        For some us what it means is to celebrate muslims and islam and we get an entire month to do it. As August is the hottest month in the San Francisco Bay Area I suggest those in California celebrate with bonfires the way college students do during their Home Coming parties. We all should build big bonfires right in the front entry of all California mosques preferably on Friday during prayers and just celebrate the h*ll out the day. Know what I mean Vern?

        The Pot industry is big in California. They love to smoke the weed. It is very apparent by this news. ‘Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month’ should up the sales of the weed, good for commerce. The infidels will send the sales through the roof. The infidels will be laughing while the throat gets cut and their infidel women and children get raped. So says the Satan Quran. And this is not a Taqiyya. Because it is the truth about the Satan Quran, CAIR would say this is Islamophobia. Bring your infidel throats and women and children to your nearest Mosque, they will treat you very well. This could be Taqiyya.

        The leftists love them because they all HATE Western Civilization and want to destroy it at whatever cost and by whatever method. The assassin, Carlos the Jackal, said many years ago that the only way to conquer the West would be through the alliance of Socialism and Islamism. His prediction is now coming true before our very eyes.

        Don’t be surprised, birds of a feather flock together. Islam and the left are both against, or should I say “anti” Christ.

        Kind of reminds you of Daniel’s interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (chapter 2) of a final godless kingdom mixed of iron and clay. Because hey, they’re working together but they just don’t mix.

      Nothing to appreciate–in fact, quite the reverse. What has a Muslim ever done in the US or in California to be appreciated? Unless of course, one appreciates murder, maiming, threats, etc. “Muslim awareness Day” is more like it because one needs to be aware they live among us and mean us harm.

          Sorry, but I disagree. Miracles come from the True God. He didn’t cause anyone to read or believe in the unholy, evil, disgusting, despicable writings of a murderous raper of children.

          The people who believe such are those who have listened to satan the devil. The ones who act on what they read and hear, like the idea of murdering others, raping and every other evil ever thought up by man or beastly, vile, demon.

          The greatest threat to Muslims everywhere is not Western culture or influence; it is Islam’s encouragement to continue the practice of inbreeding. One of our greatest threats is the failure to take seriously the warnings of intellectually honest Muslims.

        There is not doubt that Quirk is a dhimmi moron–but for “Ex-muslim” to pretend that he is no different than his former corelionists enslaving and murdering is grotesque.

        And then he makes it clear that his hatred for clueless Westerners is actually much greater that any antipathy he might have for actual bloody Jihadists.

        This should not surprise–“Ex-muslim” has said many times that he eagerly looks forward to the conquest of the West by Muslim invaders.

It’s too late to take back North America, military is depleted, socialists running the governments, sold out puppets, who have private armies and the U.N ready to step in when the normal person has had enough and begins to rise up. They are just trying to provoke the masses so they can fill up their Fema camps. Eyes wide open.

        We can introduce people to Islamic rituals in our local parks.

        Stoning women to death for being raped
        Beheadings in the middle of the street like Saudi Arabia
        Burning people in cages
        Sex slaves (will be a very popular exhibit!)
        The latest in Islamic fashions, all women in black head to toe “dresses”

        It’s a day of fun for the whole family

        The insanity of this is beyond comprehension.

        When somebody GOD tells them to murder us, you cannot make that shit go away with some interfaith dialog.

        The logic of their GOD cannot be undone by reasoning.

        When they think THEIR GOD wants us DEAD, that’s not something you can reason with.

        The Israeli’s have learned this after how many years?

        Let us ask ourselves, does Israel invite tens of thousands of Muslims in without any screening?

          Ans. Because it’s taqiyya.

      Jul 30, 2016 at 2:08 pm

      If it passes here, not only will Jewish people get their “appreciation and awareness” month but so will every other religion and cult including the Satanists.
      Clearly a violation of separation of religion and State by promoting only one religion over the others and a display of ignorance and pandering by Quirk.

    Jul 30, 2016 at 1:00 pm

    “I am proud to celebrate the first ever Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month by honoring generations of Muslim Americans for their many social, cultural, and economic contributions to California,” Assemblymember Quirk stated.

    “Virtue? Virtue? Where are you?”

    “The rhetoric surrounding this election makes the presentation of this resolution more important for me,” he said. “It is appropriate to acknowledge and promote awareness of the myriad invaluable contributions of Muslim Americans in California and across the country, and extend to them the respect and camaraderie every American deserves.”

    “Oh, there you are, Virtue. I needed to signal you. See? I’m a virtuous human being! Look at me standing up for the persecuted ones! Next on my list: rattlesnakes, black widows and tapeworms – all harmless animals with unfair, unjustified stigmas attached to them. They say they actually kill people – can you imagine that? The unfair slander of these proud and majestic creatures that contributed so much to America through the years?”

    If I remember correctly, a few weeks ago JW had a post that Illinois had a bill on Gov. Rauner’s desk awaiting signing creating a law that gives Muslims a formal voice in Illinois government through the establishment of the Illinois Muslim-American Advisory Council.

    Seems like there is a mutifaceted plan to infiltrate and influence, not only the US Federal Government, but also State Governments. What other jihadic infiltration plans are looming with Arab oil money behind them?

    Two thoughts:

    1. Just off the top; WHAT A TOOL!!!!!!!

    Now that the first thought is out of the way

    2. What is needed is an ad campaign during the designated month along the following lines:

    “This is Muslim Appreciation Month in California; During this month a statistical _______ Christians, Jews, Polytheists, Atheists and other Infidels will die at the hands of Muslims in the name of Allah.”

    or:

    “This is Muslim Appreciation Month in California; During this month a statistical ________ Female-Genital-Mutilations will occur in obedience to Mohammed, Allah’s chosen messenger.”

    This could go on and on; different messages on different bill boards highlighting honor killings, forced marriages, insert a Sharia or Koranic penalty or exhortation that is acted out everyday around the world.

    This guy is working hard for the wild beast from satan. (Revelation 13). See its *mark* on his forehead? See him giving his *hand* to further the building of the image of the beast and cause others to worship it?

    It’s as easy as *See spot run.* See more non-worshippers suffer as a result.

  32. Savvy Kafir says

    Jul 30, 2016 at 1:33 pm

    I think we’re all painfully aware of Islam at this point. It’s hard to miss it, when infidels keep getting butchered and stuff keeps blowing up. Then there’s the constant whining, and the demands for special concessions that no one else would dare ask for — like having their own month of “appreciation”.

    I “appreciate” the fact that Islam is a uniquely troublesome & annoying ideology; and the more “aware” of it I become, the more troubling it is.

    We should all embrace the idea of August being Muslim Awareness Month, and dedicate ourselves to educating the public regarding the true nature of Islam with special vigor & determination during those 31 days, every year.

    We all need to contact Assemblyman Bill Quirk (D-Hayward) office in Sacramento and his local office and tell them we will support his opponent in the next election and ask him how much money Muslims and CAIR have contributed to his election campaign. His office will not tell us of course. We also need to find which assembly members voted for HR59 and which members did not support it and contact their offices — thanking those who voted against it and telling those who voted for it that their opponents will be supported in the next election.

    “…honoring generations of Muslim Americans for their many social, cultural, and economic contributions to California,..”

    “…It is appropriate to acknowledge and promote awareness of the myriad invaluable contributions of Muslim Americans in California…”

    Such a smug and arrogant visage, sublimely content in certitude. Speaking, as I do from across the ‘pond’, I wonder if this proud man would elucidate upon these honourable generations and their myriad contributions. How they love to inject themselves into history and inveigle their chums into our ‘national consciousness’s’. As recommended by others (here at JW) I’ll ‘contact’ these officials and ask some ‘simple’ questions – Who, Where, When. Vote.

    One should be aware that they wish to kill, and they know horrible ways in which to kill, but the only thing to appreciate is when they haven’t killed the one yet. It leaves open the possibility that they might run out of time before the one falls victim. Because running out of time is what is happening to islam…though moslims would never believe it.

    Bill Quirk (D) Hayward CA is in Alameda county where I live in a smaller town to the east. Nothing of of note to appreciate here except for 1 billion dollar a year county spending debt adding to the 480 Billion dollar Calicommie debt.

    Maybe the Muslims could balance our state budget and bring some fiscal sanity back to CA and lower taxes we’d all appreciate that. No? Of course not…..as noted I see we have no Hindu appreciation or any other type of appreciation for other religions.
    I wonder when the ‘appreciated’ Muslims will come after the St Patrick’s day parades in Alameda county’s town of Dublin finding the festivities ‘offensive’. Just as the St George day in the UK was deemed ‘offensive’ Not if but when.
    I’m sure Quirky boy will appease them for a few votes and hate his own white-ness. Quirky boy’s offices will be hearing from me Monday but as I’ve expressed before I don’t get responses from calicommie legislature.

      You can google California Assembly and after some clicking around it will show. Can’t remember now if the original notice said when they’d be voting on HR59. You can also call QuirkJerk’s office and ask them when they’re voting on it. All assembly members contact info is available.
      There was another issue that was important to me and I called every legislator’s office who was on the committee that was voting at the time.

    California jihadwatchers and any Californian chapters of ACT for America could – with just a little planning and some creative thinking – turn this right around.

    Islamic Awareness Month, eh?

    Every lawmaker could be sent a copy of the Barnabas Fund’s booklet “What is Sharia?”, available for a trifling sum from the Barnabas website.

    Every California jihadwatcher, every day, could post a nasty Quran, Sira or Hadith verse to *all* of their friends. Start with Quran 4.34, the wife-beating verse; then Quran 47.4, the beheading verse; then Quran 48.29, the one that says Muslims are cruel to non-Muslims and nice only to other Muslims. Then send Surah 9.29, the Jihad verse, and 9.5, the ‘verse of the sword’, and the verse about taqiyya, and a bunch of verses about not befriending non-Muslims (unless it’s faked).

    Time to raise awareness, alright!

      In the UK media, it is not uncommon for Mo to be referred to as “the Prophet” by Kuffar. Which is a courtesy not extended to any other religion.

      Talking of cartoons, a cartoon of a 10-ton Acme anvil falling on Mo might be amusing. Or of a bouncy-castle Kaaba. The possibilities are endless. A Mo using his alien geometry Kaaba to travel back in time to destroy Alderaan would be acting in character.
