A mosque in Corvallis, Oregon was vandalized with a spray-painted message that read “Jesus loves u.” The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a statement on Twitter:
Our national communications director @ibrahimhooper said: “If the perpetrators really sought to engage Muslims, they could have walked through the door of the mosque to respectfully discuss their religious beliefs and those of the Muslim community.” #Islamophobia
“This hypocritical call to ‘love’ is really an expression of hatred when it targets a house of worship with vandalism and should be investigated as a possible hate crime.”
KEZI then reported CAIR’s reaction as news, even though CAIR knows nothing about what happened, who did it, or why. CAIR representatives contribute nothing to our understanding except CAIR’s call for a hate crime investigation. Please take note of the fact that the mosque is not calling for a hate crime investigation. Only CAIR is doing so.
We have seen this story before. CAIR importuned the police and local media for days after someone spray-painted “Utterly Blessed” in pink and purple letters on the side of an Islamic center. CAIR wanted an investigation into a possible bias motive. But there was no bias motive. The 18-year-old college student was having a thrill one night spraying graffiti on blank walls.
What makes this particular KEZI story interesting is the interview with the man who was cleaning the paint from the building. He said he didn’t think it was a big deal, just a little bit of paint on the side of a building. He said incarcerating the perpetrator was a waste of taxpayer money, and that people make a big deal out of things. He is also a Muslim who attends the mosque across the street. This is a clear-cut example of the fact that CAIR does not represent the American Muslim community.
This next example is not just vandalism, but vile language addressed to Muslims: Nazi symbols, N-bombs, nasty, racist words spray-painted on the Moorhead, Minnesota mosque. CAIR dropped its latest hate report when news broke about this vandalism. And, of course, CAIR wanted a hate crime investigation. When they caught the culprit, he said he didn’t hate Muslims, that he did it for the attention, and that it was “the stupidest thing I have ever done in my life.”
In a surprise twist, the mosque forgave him. But by that time, Jaylani Hussein, CAIR’s executive director in Minnesota, was committed to acting as media liaison, and so he had to issue a message of forgiveness from the community. Obviously, his heart was not in it. He wanted a hate crime charge.
Indeed, later that same year, CAIR was on TV again claiming that the vandal was part of a hate group and again called for an investigation, and they still put this incident in their reports, even though Jaylani Hussein personally forgave the perpetrator on TV.
Spray-painting anything on someone else’s property is vandalism. But the message “Jesus loves u” is not a hate crime. Any rational person, Muslim or otherwise, would tell you that. But CAIR nevertheless wants a hate crime investigation.
In fact, right now, former CAIR Community Outreach Co-Ordinator Zaynab Mohamed, now a Minnesota state Senator, is introducing legislation to:
improve the reporting and tracking of bias incidents. The proposal would allow trusted community groups to collect information from people who may not feel comfortable talking to the police and otherwise let something go unreported.”
This seems to resonate with CAIR’s vision of an anti-Islamophobia envoy as some kind of Sharia enforcement agency.
CAIR’s vindictiveness and hostility is as clear as the TV evening news. And it will continue until the public stops it.

Hooper, “If the perpetrators really sought to engage Muslims, they could have walked through the door of the mosque to respectfully discuss their religious beliefs and those of the Muslim community.”
And then be wheeled out on a gurney after the Muslims therein gave him typical Muslim respect.

Without a doubt. Maybe all the way to the morgue.

Yeah–in other words, they could have converted to Islam.
somehistory says
In one of the apartment buildings where I once lived, someone painted that message, except they spelled the “you.”
mozlums are known for burning their evil book, setting fire to their barracks, attacking other mozlums and these are never called “hate crimes” by c.a.i.r. when they are aware the perp is also mozlum.
Any Christian who would write Jesus Loves You on someone else’s property, is doing a wrong thing. But, the message is not about “hatred” whether it’s voiced or written.
The members of c.a.i.r. have an *agenda* and one of the things on the list, something with high priority, is to silence anyone who dares say anything c.a.i.r. doesn’t want said. Everything…they don’t like…is the fake o phobia and they mean, with all their evil hearts, to stamp it out.
Getting elected to public office… mozlums say they should not take part in “man’s laws”… is something they do only for the power to spread their own brand of hatred, called islam.

Respectful discussion?
Really?Hooper and his ilk..
Here is a simple question for you.
“Lo!Those who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture and the idolaters,will abide in fire of hell.
They are the WORST OF CREATED BEINGS”
koran 98:6
Do you agree?Do tell us..
Yes or No?
And that Scripture which allah CONFIRMS {koran 3:3} and which allah says he gave to Moses{Koran 2:87}?
Can any great minds of islam explain how allah missed the Law of Moses ,its purpose and its meaning which are all in that Scripture but which allah missed thus revealing allah’s astonishing LACK OF OMNISCIENCE which shows the koran to be a false scripture?No chance!
FYI says
And an interesting thing about LOVE is that allah completely missed the Two Chief Commandments,the and Golden Rule which is HILARIOUS when you know that 1]they constitute ‘the WHOLE of the Law’,purpose and meaning, and2]they are in the ‘scripture’ that allah says he gave to Moses.
Odd isn’t it?Could allah be deceiving -an imposter ripping off of the Bible{which allah Confirms koran 3:3]{YES!}
Check it out ;Koran 10:94…But “it’s not wise yakhee’
Isn’t it true ‘scholars’ of islam that the koran VIOLATES the law of Moses?
But allah CONFIRMS the Law!
So allah wrote the Scripture{Torah} but mysteriously forgot the Torah.
{allah says you can check this;but islamic ‘scholars’ don’t want muslims to know that}

In the Quran, if the diacritical marks are changed from Arabic to Aramaic, it is St. Ephrem’s lectionary (word for word). This is 1/4th of the Quran. St. Ephrem’s lectionary is polluted. For example, he will write a passage about chastity, and it is in the Quran. But, then at the bottom, it will be added something like it’s okay to have sex with slaves, children, and those captured in war.
Islam is mostly the old Nabataean religion. The Quran, mosques, pilgrimages, diet, and other things are Nabataean and predate Islam by hundreds of years. Even the rocks they march around, are the same rocks that they used to march around in Petra when the pilgrimages were to Petra.
The Germans have written historical records, that Islam was started with a doomsday cult of Arianists who overthrew Jerusalem with the idea that it would hasten the 2nd coming. When it didn’t, the Nabataeans adopted Arianism and started Islam. That was okay, but in the 900s, they were rulers of a large territory. The leaders gathered about 70,000 Qurans (written by hand) and burned them. New Qurans were issued that had the war lord stuff that everyone hates. The hadiths were added at the same time. The idea was that the new Quran and the hadiths would unite the conquered territory under a single religion.

al lah comes from the kaaba but the mane of the god of the kaaba is hu baal
I suspect the religion of baal that existed in the time of Elijah [I kings 18 v 21}never went away.The Connection is through the kaaba.
Clearly allah is NOT the Biblical God but an impersonator.Curiously there is reference to another god {“The EVIL god of this world” in the Bible and he is not a good one..

Hamas-linked CAIR: ‘Jesus Loves U’ is hate speech
…………………………………..
*Really*? Graffiti is not the best approach, but the claim that this is hate is insane. One need not be Christian to realize this.
