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

CAIR ignores torture of Nigerian boys in Islamic school, spreads bogus narrative about “Islamophobia”

Oct 25, 2019 9:30 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A few weeks ago, almost 500 men and boys were rescued from an Islamic center in Nigeria; the detainees “were allegedly sexually abused and tortured.” They were also reportedly subject to slavery, chaining, beatings and starvation while being forced to learn the Qur’an. The youngest among them was five. But as the article from the Washington Times points out below, Islamic supremacist groups such as CAIR (and many others) are quick to claim “Islamophobia” and victim status, but they are virtually silent on real instances of abuse, when those abuses are committed by their fellow coreligionists.

The organization with a mission “to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding” is much too busy drumming up hate crime charges against a TJ Maxx shopper — a shopper the group goes out of its way to classify as a “white woman” and, deceitfully, a “Trump supporter” — to worry about Islam-tied abuse of little boys.”

To CAIR and other Islamic supremacist groups, “spreading hysteria about supposed Islamophobia — facts be danged” is the goal. The aim is to shut down critics of Islam as sharia expands its influence. Claiming victimhood status is a common and powerful means to do it. Far too many people still remain clueless about this.

“CAIR spins bogus anti-Trump web, as Nigerian boys suffer Islamic abuse,” by Cheryl K. Chumley, The Washington Times, October 22, 2019:

A few weeks ago, authorities in Nigeria uncovered hundreds of cases of horrendous abuse of boys at so-called Islamic reform schools, “Almajiris” — abuse so wicked it was described by one local law enforcement official as tantamount to “modern slavery.”

But don’t expect CAIR National, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, headquartered in Washington, D.C., to do much about it.

The organization with a mission “to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding” is much too busy drumming up hate crime charges against a TJ Maxx shopper — a shopper the group goes out of its way to classify as a “white woman” and, deceitfully, a “Trump supporter” — to worry about Islam-tied abuse of little boys.

First, the big story — the one where Muslim school officials were busted shackling and abusing little boys sent to them to learn the ways of Islam.

BBC News just reported police “discovered more than 70 young men and boys in shackles when they raided a private Islamic school in northern Nigeria.” Meanwhile, “hundreds have been freed from three similar institutions in recent weeks,” the news organization wrote.

From BBC: “Parents sent their children [to these Almajiris schools] hoping to correct their poor behaviors as well as acquire Islamic educations.”

Instead, the boys — as young as 5 years old — were tortured and sexually abused.

Breitbart wrote, “One of the victims told the Nigerian Tribune that he had been abducted and chained up for three months so that he would ‘learn about the Koran and Islam.’ “

An outrage. A human rights tragedy.

And that bit alone — the part about being chained as part of the education process of Islam — would seem, should seem perfect for CAIR response. Right?

CAIR, after all, touts a mission that’s dedicated to dispelling common myths about Muslims — particularly those supposed myths that paint Islam as a religion of extremism, bent on a convert-or-die type of proselyting.

But here’s what CAIR National’s focused on instead: spreading unproven allegations about a “white woman’s “assault” of a Muslim shopper at T.J. Maxx in the Bay Ridge neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York…

    cair doesn’t care about children, period, except for how they can abuse them and they are damned good at that. what about those 22,000 Christian children kidnapped and/or murdered recently in Nigeria? Did we see anything about that on the msm? Not only no, but hell no. Why the hell are we sending money to Nigeria if they cannot protect and refuse to protect non-muslims???

    Nigeria needs a wake up call

    If you can’t defend Islamic cruelties, then DISTRACT FROM THEM by name-calling.

    The slander term ‘Islamophobia’ is a Strawman Fallacy, a distraction strategy, a table-turning propaganda term, a Frankenword, a Cheap Shot or Conflation or the Righteousness Fallacy or a Definist Fallacy or a Question-begging strategy to distract people from understanding the world’s worst religious bigotry (JIHAD terrorism), and especially to silence debate about Islamic terrorism.

    The persecution of non-Muslim school children is a training ground for Boko Haram’s terrorism and Dhimmitude of all non-Muslims in Nigeria.

    The Nigerian government is normalizing Islamic terrorism by doing so little about it.

    With almost 36,000 deadly jihad attacks every day since 9-11, there are some 5 lethal jihad attacks that kill about 50 people and wound 100 others. This carnage is NON-STOP and stems from Islamic FOUNDATIONAL TEACHINGS.

    A deadly jihad attack has occurred every five hours since 9-11.

    CAIR uses verbal jihad to cover up for kinetic jihad. All forms of jihad (sword, pen, tongue and money) are POLITICAL AGGRESSION intended to deny human rights and civil liberties to women and non-Muslims ‘kafirs’.

    CAIR masters the art of political doubletalk and obfuscation of the issues of Islamic discrimination and bigotry directed by Muslims against the DIRTY KUFAAR ‘for the sake of Allah’.

    CAIR thinks that Americans are very stupid. They mistake American kind-heartedness for gullibility.

    The organization with a mission “to enhance the understanding of Islam

    Not in the “listen, jihadis, here’s why what you are doing has no justification under islam” way. It’s in the “Look, islamic terror has nothing to do with islam. And if you say otherwise, you are a bigoted, racist, xenophobe islamophobe” way…

      The offended pious leader will not care or realize, but he just described himself, funny such as extremist, bigoted….and very sincere with the fibs to protect society. Another day another unjust offense.

    The problem with CAIR is that it’s a terrorist organization. It’s officers, members, and supporters are terrorists. PERIOD.

    I am acquainted with a man, Tim, about 37, living in Nigeria. He is a Christian and lives near Lagos. Fortunately Lagos is in the Christian South, so he is safe for now. But he told me the President of Nigeria is a Muslim and will do nothing to stop Boko Haram from murdering Christians in the north of Nigeria. Tim is desperately trying to leave Nigeria and never look back once he does. Please pray for him and other Christians in Nigeria where ”freedom of religion” is not given sanction.

      Yes–things in Nigeria are bad for Christians, and getting worse.

    Obama’s support for this terrorist organization(CAIR) while in office emboldened them to be acting the way they are now!.
