So You Think CAIR Represents Moderate Islam?

CAIR's vision is to be a leading advocate for justice and mutual understanding.

CAIR's mission is to enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding. (Vision and Mission: Council on American-Islamic Relations)


Now doesn’t this sound awesome? The CAIR vision reads like a very tolerant American thinking organization whose central concern is sticking up for the civil rights of Muslim-Americans.

Unfortunately it is propaganda validating the wishful thinking of decent Muslims who actually believe that Islam means peace. Also the CAIR vision reads as something very American to American non-Muslims (kafir) who believe in the American principles of Freedom of Religion and social justice.

The reality is CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator with those of convicted in the Holy Land Foundation trial for laundering charitable donations into the Islamic terrorist organization Hamas. So much for the concept of “justice and mutual understanding.”

Now let’s look at Islam’s practice of tolerance, civil liberties and building coalitions that promote justice of mutual understanding.

TOLERANCE

Muslims constantly attack Christians in Bangladesh and force the sale of their property and humiliate them.

Seventeen year old Rifqa Bary fled her Muslim parents fearing they would kill her for converting to Christianity. Her fears have not been substantiated by law enforcement; however there are several cases of honor killing in America and the West for less egregious acts of offending Islam or Islamic family honor. Since Rifqa has fled to Florida she has received death threats from Muslims other than her family Muslim apostasy.

CIVIL LIBERTIES

Muslim Turkish father murders his son when he finds out the young man is a homosexual. If you read my blogs you are aware I believe homosexuality is a deviant sin; however I would never advocate death or harm to a homosexual. I would advocate my right as a business owner not to be forced to hire a person whose lifestyle I find to be repugnant.

There is no freedom of speech or the open freedom of religion in Muslim dominated nations and in the West many conclaves of Muslims have successfully instituted Sharia Law which denies civil rights to human beings.

Read the theme of apostasy for Muslims found in the holy writings including the Quran.

Mutual Understanding in Islam

Here is a mere small list of people who live under a death threat for their advocacy in making people aware of the negative aspects of Islam. Here is another essay demonstrating the lack of Mutual Understanding within Islam.

I could probably fill ten pages of examples of Intolerance, the non-existence of Civil Rights and the total absence of Mutual Understanding AND still not come close to exposing Islam’s negative aspects as compared to Western and (especially) American principles of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

CAIR is so hypocritical in its alleged status of moderate Islam and defender of Muslim Civil Rights. CAIR has not only been connected to Hamas legally through the HLF convictions but the organization’s founders and many of its current leadership have espoused the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is definitely not a representative of moderate Islam. Nearly all the transnational terrorist organizations of the Sunni Islam persuasion are of the Hanbali Islamic school of thought. The Hanbali school is conservative and interprets the Quran, Hadith, Sunna and so on in literal terms and consider the most extreme violence of Mohammed’s Islamic conquests and retribution as examples to be followed in the in the present time.

Muslim Brotherhood, Salafist, Wahhabi and related groups thus are Islamic reform movements seeking to enforce the return of purest Islam of the Prophet Mohammed’s day in the seventh century AD (C.E. for secular humanists).

CAIR is a part of this very non-moderate Islamic tradition regardless of CAIR allusions to the contrary.

An article by Joe Kaufman at Pajamas Media is the inspiration of my writing actually the briefest of facts about CAIR. You should probably check out the Anti-CAIR website that delves into CAIR constantly; however read Kaufman’s article about Hussam Ayloush. Ayloush is the leader of CAIR-Southern California. Evidently Ayloush sticks to the national CAIR line of being a moderate Muslim criticizing the FBI. The FBI criticism is because the Bureau wisely has cut off official team work with CAIR because of its unindicted co-conspirator connections to the HLF convicts directly sending money to Hamas.

CAIR’s Threat to National Security

Hussam Ayloush, head of CAIR-California, is associating with and praising some of the world's most notorious supporters of terror.

CAIR leader Hussam Ayloush is on a crusade against the FBI; he’s upset by how the government agency fights terrorism. What he’s not upset by are the terrorists who threaten America and America’s allies.

It’s a pattern by Mr. Ayloush that could easily lead one to believe he is a threat himself.

Hussam Ayloush is the executive director of the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-California), also known as CAIR-Southern California or CAIR-Los Angeles. He has held the position since at least 2001. Between then and now Ayloush, while appearing to be a moderate, has been associated with extremists who convey hatred and violence.

In December 2001, CAIR-California’s website published a photo taken in Los Angeles of Ayloush shoulder-to-shoulder with the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusuf al-Qaradawi. This was two years after al-Qaradawi had been banned from entering the United States.

Al-Qaradawi, who the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) refers to as the “theologian of terror,” has incited violence against Jews, endorsed suicide bombings, called for homosexuals to be put to death, voiced his support for various terrorist organizations, called for the destruction of the state of Israel, and sanctioned attacks against U.S. troops abroad.

As reported by the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) in November 2002 — again, after Al-Qaradawi had been banned from the U.S. — Ayloush venerated him as a “scholar.” He stated:

Several people were asking about the eligibility claim for CAIR. And according to many scholars including Yusuf Qaradawi, basically this is one of the venues of Zakat (charity) for your money as vis a vis basically educating about Islam in America and the West.


Al-Qaradawi is not the only threat to the U.S. who Ayloush has described as a scholar. He said the same of Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood operative Wagdy Ghoneim, after Ghoneim was arrested in November 2004 on an immigration violation. Ayloush stated, “Wagdy Ghoneim is a highly regarded religious scholar who gives speeches around the country.” According to the State Department, his sermons targeted Jews, Christians, and the West. Ghoneim, who was then a mosque leader in California, would soon be deported to Qatar.
