Comes from CAIR (the Council on American Islamic Relations). (just had a random thought - isn't it interesting that a religion has such an orgainization? Do the Jews (as a religion), the Catholics, Hindus, Lutherans have the need for such an outfit?) Anyhow last September, CAIR held a news briefing outside Congress to denounce terrorism. ![]() Lets zoom in: ![]() A bit more: ![]() Here's the original: ![]() Also look at the folks in the foreground. It's worth a thousand, isn't it? |

Imagine an art museum publishing a picture of the statue of David with a fig leaf photoshopped in. ![]() Yes, very interesting, but also necessary (remember gryphon used to ask "where's the outrage from the Muslims" whenever there's a terrorism incident?), and not unique. Here in my neck of the woods, the "WBZ News Radio 1030" station would broadcast messages many times a day that end with something like this: "This message was brought to you by the American Jewish Committee." I guess both groups feel persecuted. The Muslims feel they are being persecuted since 9/11, the Jews feel they are being persecuted since, well, forever. Hence the need for "organized PR" in this land of the free.

I find it interesting that CAIR has been much more vocal in denouncing Bush for using the term Islamo-Fascism than they have been in denouncing those killing innocent people in the name of Islam. |

CAIR is active here under the name CAIR-CAN. It has its own website and publications as in the US: http://www.caircan.ca/aboutus.php It is a lobby group not unlike B'nai Brith or Federation of Hindu Temples. I suspect that most Christian denominations use the offices of their respective synods, councils, diocese etc. to perform the same PR/lobby/advocate function. |

I'm aware of B'nai Brith and other organizations like that. Do you think that they have the political clout that CAIR seems to have? Don't know, just asking. |

In Canada B'nai Brith has a lot of political clout. So do the Sikh and Hindu organizations. |

CAIR is just the Muslim equivalent to the ADL except with a few more problems:

"Any man who would make an X rated movie should be forced to take his daughter to see it". - John Wayne There is a line we cross when we go from "I will believe it when I see it" to "I will see it when I believe it".

CAIR and its affiliate CAIR-CAN should then be liquidated. |
