Piers Morgan missed important opportunities interviewing Imam Suhaib Webb

Last night Imam Suhaib Webb of the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC) was interviewed by Piers Morgan on CNN.  The ISBCC is an affiliate of the Islamic Society of Boston where the Boston Marathon suspects attended on occasion.  I just had to make note of some of the big opportunities Piers Morgan missed where he could of asked Webb some rather relevant followup questions:

Piers Morgan interview with Imam Suhaib Webb April 22, 2013:

Joining me is Imam Webb of the Islamic Society of the Boston Cultural Center. Welcome to you, Imam Webb. You're actually imam of a local mosque affiliated with the one that Tamerlan Tsarnaev attended. From all that you've now gleaned about what went on with him, were we seeing somebody who was being radicalized very quickly?

IMAM SUHAIB WEBB, ISLAMIC SOCIETY OF BOSTON CULTURAL CENTER: I'm not sure I can answer that question but definitely someone standing up in a Friday prayer and questioning a preacher who is talking about Martin Luther King Jr. might draw some flags but I don't think would necessitate calling law enforcement.

MORGAN: Now, he made two protests on two different incidents. He branded people a kafir, a non-believer. Clearly he was getting quite intense about his religion.
 
WEBB: Yes, I think that's where a qualified scholar or leader would need to step in and talk to him and see kind of what his mindset was, and from there, make a call on kind of what direction he was taking his religiosity.

Missed Opportunity:  I believe he called the Imam kafir for comparing Martin Luther King to the Islamic prophet, Mohammad, isn't that right?   Did the Imam talk to him about this outburst?  Have you spoken to the imam at your sister mosque about this?

MORGAN: What has been the reaction in the mosques, both yours and the one of course that Tamerlan Tsarnaev attended?

WEBB: With regards to what?

MORGAN: Well, to what's happened. Obviously he's been --

WEBB: Our reaction to what?

MORGAN: Your reaction to the discovery that somebody attending one of the mosques has been the perpetrator of this appalling bombing.

WEBB: Well, I think first and foremost as Bostonians, our hearts and prayers are with the community. And then there's a sense of anger and frustration that someone who would frequent one of our faith institutions would carry out such acts, so people seem to be very angry and upset with what he's done.

MORGAN: Is there any new system that you can put in place to raise more warning flags about characters like Tamerlan? Because it just seems to people that he's been plotting this in his head by being inspired by Islamic fundamentalists on videos that he;s found on the Internet, to commit an appalling act of terror, and yet he's been going to this mosque --

WEBB: Indeed.

MORGAN: -- hanging around with people. Somebody must have spotted that he was getting more intense, potentially dangerous, because we know the Russian authorities were wary enough about him to contact the FBI.

WEBB: Indeed, but I have to say, I don't think most mosques or churches or synagogues are law enforcement agencies. They don't have the same access that they would have.

Missed Opportunity:  Actually, those who attend a mosque together on a regular basis may have more access. When he called the Imam a kafir he revealed a bit of his fundamentalist views. Do you agree? Could this be a sign of radicalization or rigid fundamentalist believes?  Did his outburst cause concern?  It's been reported Tamerlan was in company of another Boston area Muslim convert by the name of Mihsa who practiced a strict form of Islam. Do you know who this person is?  I believe he has a red beard.   I wonder, Imam Webb, - do you advise your fellow Muslims to contact the FBI if they see something odd?  Does you mosque discuss radical Islam and its danger? Do you go over the warning sign?  Or, do you tell them not to talk to the FBI, say as CAIR does?

WEBB: But I think what's important is that the mosque here in Boston, the other mosque didn't appeal to his theology, so I think the way to address that -- there was an interesting Harvard study that said only 2 percent of the imams worldwide who called for global jihad had actually degrees from Islamic educational institutions that are considered respectable. So I think one of the best ways is through properly trained scholars who can mediate and talk to people and see where they're coming from and try to address some of those radical ideas that they have. He wasn't radicalized in Boston. It appears now that he was radicalized online.

Missed Opportunity:  Say, what was the name of the Harvard Study?  What year was it done?

Missed Opportunity:  You said 2% of imams who call for global jihad had degrees from proper Islamic institutions. How many imams would you say this represents 10 - 100 - 1000?  How many imams in total have called for global jihad? You don't know?  Hummm... The study referred to 2% of the total, right?  It seems odd you don't know the total. Didn't the study mention the total?  Do you see this global call for jihad by imams as a major concern for most non-Muslims?  Shouldn't the Imams who disagree with the call for global jihad stand up?  What is being done collectively?  Can you give me an example of a written statement from a collective of Imams specifically denouncing the call for global jihad?  What?  What do you mean you can't?

Missed Opportunity:  I noticed (since I did some research) that you have on your own website (SuhaibWebb.com) a glowing review of a presentation given at a conference on th book about Jihad by the highly controversial martyrdom-approving Sunni cleric Yusef Quaradawi.  This presentation, by the way, is also on the Muslim Brotherhood's English Website Ikhwanwebb. Is this wise, Imam?

Missed opportunity:  Did you attend a fund-raiser a few days before 9/11 for Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, otherwise known as H. Rapp Brown, who was convicted for killing a sheriff deputy?  Why were you there?  I read an FBI document about this fundraiser. Anwar Awlaki was there, as well, right?

MORGAN: Imam Webb, thank you for joining me.

WEBB: Thank you, sir.

End - Transcript from CNN

Last week, Webb was replaced (by Bretbart.com) as a speaker at the Boston Marathon Memorial Service the night before but Piers Morgan didn't bother to bring that up either. Another missed opportunity, Piers - geez. On the 21st, Suhaib Webb tweeted a link to this article stating. "They are liars."

There's just one problem, though, this very short article is accurate the best I can tell.  Webb was replaced the night before, he even tweeted about it. The Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center is linked to the Islamic Society of Boston and is referred to as the sister organization on the ISB website. Both are linked in the Islamic Society of North America (probably written in their constitution about their permanent affiliation to ISNA) who was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror-funding trial (documented court evidence). This was the largest Hamas terror-funding case to date.  There you go again, Piers, missing another opportunity.

Shame on you, Piers Morgan.

Jillian Holzbauer Frazier - CAIR Oklahoma's unlikely new spin-master tackles Islamophobia

Within a month of being hired for a newly created position as CAIR Oklahoma's communication director, Jillian Holzbauer Frazier tackled Islamophobia In an opinion piece published by a liberal Tulsa paper - who pretty much just publishes what CAIR gives them - titled Extreme rhetoric can nurture violence.

Holzbauer Frazier implied what appears to be legitimate concerns expressed by three public officials was extreme rhertoric.  U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann who merely inquired about possible Muslim Brotherhood infiltration into our government and simply asked how people are vetted if they have ties to it.  Rep. Joe Walsh, R-Ill who stated there are radical Islamists who want to kill Americans and Oklahoma Rep. Rex Duncan who helped bring to a vote of Oklahomans a constitutional amendment that would not allow foreign law, which also included sharia law - the law used by a number of Islamic countries - to be considered in state court decisions.  This amendment passed overwhelmingly in the fall of 2009. It was CAIR Oklahoma's new director, Muneer Awad, who within days of moving here, sued the state.   I should point out Muneer Awad recently became the director of CAIR New York although the CAIR Oklahoma website makes it a point to state he still lives in the state. 

CAIR Oklahoma director, Muneer Awad, to be executive director of CAIR NY!

CAIR New York has announced its new executive director will be Muneer Awad,  Awad is currently the director of CAIR's chapter in Oklahoma and is the man who appears to have moved to the state for the purpose of suing it over SQ755, a constitutional amendment that would forbid state courts from considering foreign laws in its decisions, including sharia law which is the ruling system in many Islamic countries.  Throughout Awad's arguments in court, it seemed to me, he claimed sharia law was the same as sharia guidance which is something I don't believe he was challenged on, at all.  They are not the same thing. I wasn't in the courtroom but that's what I got from how it was reported in the press.

CAIR New York has been very active in trying to dismantle some of the anti-terror security efforts in New York City, a top target for Islamic terrorists. Its civil right manager, Cyrus McGoldrick is a Muslim activist who tweets about being a radical.

With Muneer Awad heading CAIR New York, I expect more lawsuits against New York City, its police department, the FBI going forward. Awad, for the most part, is the typical abrasive Muslim bully who uses name-calling to steam-roll over others as he goes after the target.  He's typical of the type of Muslim activist CAIR hires. He is also effective at partnering with the left for political maneuvering. 

Muneer Awad, by the way, belives the FBI radiclazies more terrorists than Anwar Awlaki!

CAIR was started by leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood's Islamic Association of Palestine.  Its national executive director, Nihad Awad, is one of those leaders.

Is CAIR increasing their presence in Oklahoma?

CAIR Oklahoma Exposed

CAIR Oklahoma pressures church to drop speaker they don't like!

A couple weeks ago CAIR Oklahoma, led by Muneer Awad, issued a press release titled CAIR Asks Oklahoma Church to Drop Anti-Islam Agenda. Fairiew Baptist of Edmond, Oklahoma was the target: 

The keynote speaker of tonight's event at Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond, Okla., is Avi Lipkin, an infamous Islamophobe who alleges among other things that Muslims worship the devil and that all Muslims want to kill Christians and Jews.

...This kind of bigotry and hysteria only serves to fuel the growing chorus of anti-Muslim sentiment that is unfortunately spreading in the Heartland," said CAIR-OK Executive Director Muneer Awad. "We respectfully request that the church drop this speaker and other hate-mongers, and offer it's congregants a sincere opportunity for dialogue and information about Islam and Muslims.

Awad said Fairview Baptist Church is known for hosting anti-Muslim speakers such as William Boykin, who recently withdrew from a speaking event at West Point Military Academy after concerns over his remarks that Islam does not deserve religious protections under the First Amendment, and Bridgette Gabriel, who paid tens of thousands of dollars to conduct robocalls in Oklahoma in 2010 to allege Muslim men rape their wives."

Muneer Awad's holiday card to legislators drips of hypocrisy!

The 2011 holiday card sent out by Muneer Awad, the director of CAIR's chapter in Oklahoma, to state legislators, officials and others thanked them for their continued support to make Oklahoma a great "Home for the Holidays."

Wait a minute... What continued support? 

Progressives join activist Muslims to belittle Lowes and anyone who disagrees!

Lowes hates Muslims?  That's one of the hastags used on twitter by Islamists and their partners on the left recently. Perhaps, though, if you dig a little deeper all this rhertoric is cover for something else; Christians must be stopped from pursuing a cause.  Too ridiculous?

Responding to Sheryl Siddiqui's criticism of Oklahoma "Islamophobes"

Islam doesn't allow killing of "innocent people" Sheryl Siddiqui wrote in a commentary published in the Oklahoma Gazette on September 20th. Last year in another interview, Siddiqui claimed only God has the right to take life.  I wonder if she could possibly enlighten me and other misinformed and ignorant Okies just how The Atlas of Islamic Conquests, which is sold at Islamic bookstore in the U.S., fits in the context of her claim. I assume these battles for power involved fighting, which is messy and many people were, I'm sure, killed. Were these conquests islamically sanctioned or were they a stain that reflects badly on Islam's history?  This book could be a useful resource about Islam's history of of supremacy. No matter how you spin it Islamism dominated.

Islamophobia conference at University of California at Berkeley and the Saudi's OIC

Tomorrow there will be an Islamophobia conference at the University of California at Berkeley.   CAIR's co-founder and executive director, Nihad Awad, who was a former leader of the Islamic Association of Palestine, an over arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, will be speaking.  Also speaking will be CAIR's San Francisco director and self-described anarchist, Zahra Billoo and others. 

Oklahoma City Councilman Ed Shadid stood with CAIR Oklahoma at press conference

Ed Shadid ran for state office in 2010.  He apparently sought the endorsement of the Oklahoma Green Party, got it and posed in front of their party sign for a lovely photo (left). He lost the race.  Today, he will be sworn in as Oklahoma City's newest councilman after winning this race.

Yesterday, at the State Capital, newly elected Shadid stood with CAIR Oklahoma, Andrew Rice, Imam Imad Enchassi of the Islamic Society of Greater OKC, Nathaniel Bathchelder and a few others at a press conference deriding those who supported an anti-foreign law bill (HB 1552) which died in the Senate Rules Committee last week.   Let me repeat, the bill had already died in the senate committee the week before so this press conference was one of those political grand-standing moments.

Video: New York State Senate Committee On Homeland Security Hearing 4/8/11

A New York senate committee hearing on their state's preparedness for another terror attack was held yesterday and was strongly opposed by CAIR, an outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood infrastructure in America whose written plan to destroy our democracy for Islamic supremacy should not be taken lightly. 

Video: "New York State Senate Committee On Homeland Security Hearing 4/8/11." 

Rep. Pete King speaks first for about 30 minutes. 

Nonie Darwash, speaks at the 2 hour mark.  She is hated and put down by by CAIR at every opportunity/  You should hear New York Senator Eric Adams attack her.  Her first hand account of living as a Muslim in the Middle East is brutal.  She is the director of Former Muslim United.  She said when jihad is mentioned in the Quran it's about war and establishing the religion of Islam 97% of the time.  Her testimony is riveting and disturbing and is a must watch, especially about her experience at the mosques she attended in America.

CAIR-NY Civil Rights Manager Cyrus McGoldrick testimony starts at the 2 hour 30 minute mark.  Starting with the first sentence he couldn't resist name calling which continued for a while.  His statement about sharia fails to address it fully and honestly.

Frank Gaffney's testimony starts at 2 hour 38 minute mark.

CAIR San Francisco - Bay Area police shouldn't work with the FBI!

The anarchist director of CAIR's chapter in San Francisco, Zahra Billoo, is at it again.  This is the chapter, if you recall, had the Build A Wall of Resistance against the FBI poster on their website earlier this year.  They have sued the government twice since they took the poster down and this week, along with other left-wing organizations, urged local Bay area police not to work with the FBI's Joint Terrorism Taskforce. 

This is Islamism or political Islam.

This week, when FBI Director Robert Mueller testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee he was asked about efforts that encourage Muslims not to cooperate with the FBI (1:24 min mark).  He replied this was not the contributions they want from citizens to stop crime or the next terror attack.  He said they want communities to encourage their citizens to help them.

 

Sharia law panel: Ignorant Oklahomans were told what to think on SQ 755!

Ignorant Oklahomans were told what to think?  That's what I got out of a recent sharia law panel moderated by Rev. Bill Crowell of Boston Avenue Methodist Church.  Crowell is president of the Board of the Tulsa Metropolitan Ministry, one of the sponsors of the "Islamic Agenda in Oklahoma" PR series.  Tulsa Community College was also listed as a sponsor. 

ACTION: Oklahoma anti-foreign law bill, HB 1552, protects rights from errant judicial rulings

Oklahoma HB 1552 passed the State House in a stunning 76-3 vote on March 17th.  The bill is authored by Rep Kern and co-authored by Reps. Reynolds and Ritze.  State Senator Anthony Sykes is listed as the author in the Senate. The purpose of the bill is to protect citizens from the enforcement of any judicial ruling that could favor limits on the fudamental rights of citizens.  Representatives Mike Shelton, Cory Williams, and Emily Virgin were the state reps who voted against it.

Islamic ad in Oklahoma: the name Jesus appears in the Quran more than Muhammad!

 Muslim leaders in Oklahoma seem to be scurrying about as they try to mitigate some of the damage caused by a lawsuit filed by Muneer Awad, the new director of CAIR Oklahoma, against the state over a new constitutional amendment, SQ 755,  passed by 70% of Oklahomans who voted that bans foreign and sharia laws from consideration in state courts.  They started off with a couple of fluffy PSA videos after Oklahomans were called all kinds of vile names leading up to the election which still continues to this day. 

CAIR Oklahoma and Muslim leaders scramble!

Muslim leaders in Oklahoma seem to be scurrying about as they try to mitigate some of the damage caused by CAIR's lawsuit initiated by Muneer Awad against the state over a new constitutional amendment, SQ 755, passed by 70% of Oklahomans that banned foreign and sharia laws from consideration in state courts.  

AG Holder: Over 400 individuals convicted of terrorism crimes since 2001!

Last Friday, Attorney General Eric Holder gave a speech (DOJ transcript) before an Islamic civil rights organization called Muslim Advocacy.  This organization advises Muslims NOT to talk to the FBI and believe FBI undercover tactics must be stopped.  They remind me of CAIR who often thinks our government is the problem rather than never ending supply of Muslim terrorists who want to kill us.  Do they seriously think we are that stupid?

SQ 755 awaits Oklahoma's new attorney general, Scott Pruitt

On January 10th, Oklahoma's newly elected attorney general, Scott Pruitt,  will inherit the legal fight to get SQ 755 certified.  He'll surely be more aggresive than current AG, Drew Edmondson (D), who has been criticized how he defended the amendment to ban foreign law, including sharia law:

More state legislatures considering sharia law options

Other states besides Oklahoma are weighing their options about sharia law:

CAIR, ISNA and NAIT's link to Holy Land Foundation Hamas case evident judge rules

Evidence submitted in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror-funding case sufficiently linked CAIR, Islamic Society of North America and the North American Islamic Trust to it.  At the time they were named unindicted co-conspirators in the largest terror-funding case in U.S. history in 2007,  I recall reading that making a list like this public was unusual but if the government felt there was compelling reasons for the public to know, it was justified. 

Judge Miles-LaGrange extends TRO on SQ 755!

Moments ago in Oklahoma City, Federal Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange extended her Temporary Restraining Order by one week on the certification of the vote on Oklahoma SQ 755 that took place on November 2nd. 

Chuck Guzak in "Who's Afraid of the Big-Bad Sharia" slams Oklahoma

Chuck Guzak blamed the right wing in Oklahoma for the passing of SQ 755 and fueling Islamophobia in his opinion article, Who's Afraid of Big-Bad Sharia in the Cornell Daily Sun today.  He argued that allowing Sharia courts in the U.S. would change nothing here. 

Amicus Curiae brief opposes SQ 755 suit by Muneer Awad of CAIR Oklahoma

Attorney Kevin Calvey filed an Amicus Curiae brief for The United States Border Control, the United States Border Control Foundation, the Lincoln Institute for Research and Education and the Conservative Legal Defense and Education Fund in Oklahoma in federal court yesterday regarding SQ 755. 

Oklahoma AG has a duty to its citizens to question motive of CAIR!

Muneer Awad, who has been on the job at CAIR Oklahoma for less than a month and who just graduated from law school last year, said sharia law is merely a religious guide and a religious freedom right.  Is that accurate?  To me, religious guidance is not the same thing as religious rulings/sharia law. I am unaware the U.S. has legally defined it, yet.   Many Islamic countries use sharia as the basis for all their laws, which includes the loss of religious freedom, an irony worth noting. 

Tap down the ignorance in Oklahoma; Rachel Maddow interviews Muneer Awad

Last night the new director of CAIR's chapter in Oklahoma, Muneer Awad, was on the low-rated leftist Rachael Maddow's show where he ripped Oklahoma politicians who authored or supported SQ 755 and claimed their campaign was one of misinformation designed to raise fear and disrespect of Muslims.  Before Maddow interviewed Awad she went over some of the hate mail CAIR claimed they received (how stupid can one be?).  Near the end of the video Awad said the campaign to pass SQ 755 was based on hate, VIOLENCE and fear. 

Did Oklahoma Attorney General NOT file a response on behalf of voters in SQ 755?

One of the authors of Oklahoma SQ 755, Rep. Anthony Sykes, was quoted by Fox News today making an astonishing claim that Attorney General Drew Edmonston (D) did NOT file a brief to defend the people's vote in court today:

"District Court Judge Vicki Miles-LeGrange ruled that the measure, which passed by a large margin in last Tuesday's elections, would be suspended until a hearing on Nov. 22, when she will listen to arguments on whether the court's temporary injunction should become permanent.

...Supporters of the Oklahoma ballot initiative, which passed with 70 percent of the vote, would not comment on the impact of the ruling. But state Sen. Anthony Sykes, who co-authored the measure, charged that the judge ruled as she did because the state’s attorney general, Drew Edmondson, failed to respond to the suit.

“The attorney general failed to file a response,” Sykes said. “I am afraid that this might get written in stone that shouldn’t be because the attorney general is leaving and a new one is coming in.” 

Calls to Edmondson’s office were not returned.

Oklahoma state Rep. Rex Duncan, who co-sponsored the bill, said he hadn’t seen the judge's written ruling yet, but he was disappointed that “her words from the bench indicated she had completely embraced the plaintiff’s arguments.”

“They were pretty extraordinary statements from the judge,” he said.

Duncan and Sykes both said the state should have challenged whether Awad had the standing to bring the case.

“As far as we know, he flew into here from Georgia just to make the case," Duncan said. "We don’t think he is an Oklahoma resident or plans to stay. We don’t think he had standing...”

An Assistant Attorney General in Edmondson's office, William F. O'Brien, has written numerous opinion articles shilling for CAIR and promoting Islam since 2008.

The Honorable Vicki Miles-LaGrange was appointed by President Clinton.

ACTION:  I encourage people to flood his office with calls expressing concern that he did not file a response/brief on the voters behalf on SQ 755 yesterday.   OKC 405-521-3921 | Tulsa 918-581-2885

New video calls for jihad against Americans; Awlaki's daddy in court today

In a courtroom in Washington, D.C., attorneys representing the father of Anwar Awlaki argued that the targeted kill list his son is on violates his constitutional rights.  Kinda embarassing for Awlaki's daddy since today his son released another video calling for death of Americans. 

What kind of crazy world are we in now???

Judge hears arguments in targeted killing case:

U.S. District Judge John Bates heard arguments in the case of Anwar al-Awlaki on the same day that the American cleric made a renewed call for jihad against U.S. citizens in a video posted on extremist websites.

...Al-Awlaki's father, Nasser al-Awlaki of Yemen, has sued Obama to stop the targeted killing of his son, who was born in New Mexico, and to force the government to disclose standards for determining whether U.S. citizens can be targeted for death. He argues that the president's authority to unilaterally declare a targeted killing violates his son's constitutional right to due process.

"What the government is doing is imposing the death penalty without trial," said Jameel Jaffer, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, which along with the Center for Constitutional Rights has taken al-Awlaki's case.

(DOJ) Letter told Bates the court has no legal authority to be "looking over the shoulder" of the president as he makes military decisions to protect Americans against terrorist attacks.

"We're going to the very core powers of the president as commander in chief," Letter said.

 

Federal judge approves temporary injunction on SQ 755

 
 

Today federal judge, Vicki Miles-LaGrange,  who was appointed by President Clinton, approved a temporary 14 day hold on the certification of the overwhelming vote of the citizens of Oklahoma to amend the state's constitution to ban sharia and international law from consideration in state courts.  Note, this amends the constitution so that state courts do not use or consider foreign law.

A hearing is planned for November 22nd at 10 AM where arguments for both sides will be heard.

 Update 6:00 PM CT:  From KOCO Oklahoma City:  "...Islamic leader, Imam Imad Enchassi said the passing of SQ 755 would impose on his civil liberties as an American and damage the character of Muslims.  

"I've been called to court many times on Middle Eastern and Islamic ways and Islamic codes and ethics and so on and so fourth. Now, a judge might look at the law and say you know what, we'll take the rabbi testimony, we'll take the preacher testimony, but your testimony is null and void just because you're Muslim," he said.  

Enchassi said it is disturbing that lawmakers aren't condemning the state question.Islamic leader, Imam Imad Enchassi said the passing of SQ 755 would impose on his civil liberties as an American and damage the character of Muslims..."

Is that right Imam Enchassi?  Can you name some cases?

CAIR Oklahoma's Muneer Awad gets worked-up on radio after questioned about CAIR

Today, in little over an hour, the brand new director (<month) of CAIR Oklahoma, Muneer Awad, will be in federal court in Oklahoma City to legally challenge the will of the people of Oklahoma after they passed SQ 755 on November 2nd to ban sharia and international law from consideration by state courts in the future.  The suit wants to stop the election board from certifying the results.  It will be heard before a judge appointed by President Clinton, the Honorable Vicki Miles-LaGrange.  Last year, Judge Miles-LaGrange gave a commencement speech titled "Idealism" to the graduating students at Oklahoma City University School of Law.

Muneer Awad, apparently, recently moved to Oklahoma to assume his position at CAIR but he sued the state as an individual. 

Yesterday,  Awad was interviewed on New York City's WABC 770 AM.  Near the end he gets agitated when questioned about some of the facts that haunt CAIR.  Listen to his interview at CAIR's Shariah defender dodges questions on terror ties.  The really interesting stuff starts at the 9:50 minute mark.

Awad dodged facts about CAIR similar to his predecessor, Razi Hashmi, who did it over and over again. 

I do believe Awad imply the interviewer was a liar.

Hearing set for Monday regarding Muneer Awad's legal attempt to stop the will of Oklahomans

A hearing is set for Monday at 10 AM before a judge appointed by Clinton, the Honorable Vicki Miles-LaGrange, over one man's legal attempt filed by the director of CAIR Oklahoma, Muneer Awad, to stop the Oklahoma Election Board from certifying the expressed will of the people of Oklahoma after they passed SQ 755 by 70% of the citizens to ban state courts from considering Sharia and international law in the coming decades. 

Muslim organization stands with Oklahomans on passing SQ 755

The American Islamic Forum on Democracy has issued a press release praising Oklahomans for passing SQ 755, which bans sharia and international law from consideration in state court:

AIFD PRESS RELEASE: American Muslim organization applauds Oklahoma anti-shariah law

Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, a devout Muslim and the president and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) issued the following statement regarding the passage of Oklahoma's State Question 755.

"As Muslims dedicated to modernity, reform and our one law system in the west and in the United States, AIFD applauds the people of Oklahoma for passing State Question 755 and making "the legal precepts of other nations or cultures" off-limits to Oklahoma courts and specifically denying the use of Sharia Law.

The issue is simple. As Americans we believe in the Constitution, the Establishment Clause, and our one law system. SQ755 reaffirms the First amendment to the Constitution and prevents the Establishment or empowerment of a foreign legal system like the specific shariah legal systems implemented in many Muslim majority nations and in western shariah courts seen in places like Britain.

By filing a lawsuit, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has wasted no time in proving once again that they are unable to stand behind public declarations that the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights and our one law system supersede and are preferable to a sharia law system. They are using the American cover of religious freedom to try and knock down a simple law that prohibits the domination of one religion over others

...To those who say "Why Oklahoma?", we say "Why not Oklahoma?" The Oklahoma precedent and example is important. It has already showed CAIR's hand and where they place shariah law in relation to the Constitution. CAIR flippantly states that the law is not necessary. By implying that Islam and shariah are inseparable they demonstrate a willful denial of the internationally pervasive draconian shariah law systems around the world in places like Iran, Sudan, Saudi Arabia to name a few, and how academically clear the legal system of shariah law is. Note should be made of how CAIR's response to SQ755 does not address any of the harms instituted against Muslims and non-Muslims around the world in the name of shariah law.

AIFD and most reformist Muslims believe a ban on shariah courts is necessary to protect the rights of the individual and in particular the rights of women.."

Thank you Dr. Jasser from the bottom of this Okie's heart and the 70% of us voted to take a stand against Islamism.

Muneer Awad's lawsuit against Oklahoma made on his "own Shariah-compliant will"

What is Shariah? Shariah is a dynamic legal framework derived from the Quran (Islam’s revealed text), the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad, the ongoing consensus of Islamic scholars, and analytical reasoning.  ---CAIR  

Below is a copy of the lawsuit filed today in Federal Court against the Oklahoma Election Board regarding a constitutional amendment passed by 70% of Oklahomans to not allow state courts to consider sharia or international law in the decades to come.  The individual suing is Muneer Awad the new director of CAIR Oklahoma.  He just recently moved to Oklahoma to assume the position.  Now he, and he alone,  wants to stop the election board from certifying the election result for SQ 755.

In CAIR's press release it stated in part:

"...At a news conference today in the State Capitol Building, CAIR-OK Executive Director Muneer Awad said he has filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court -- Western District Of Oklahoma as an individual seeking a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction to prevent final certification of the amendment by the Oklahoma State Board of Elections.

Awad's lawsuit, which is based on his own Shariah-compliant will, says SQ 755 violates the First Amendment's Establishment Clause that bars government bodies from making laws "respecting the establishment of religion."

His own shariah compliant will???

Lawsuit:  Download Argument

Click here for an audio of the press conference CAIR Oklahoma held with their left-wing partners in Oklahoma city yesterday found at Oklahomacitizen.  Imam Enchassi stated he uses sharia law everyday. Today we learn, for sure, that CAIR see sharia law as completely intertwined with Islam.  This is Islamism to me. Throughout the press conference you hear the Muslim victim-mentality and the name-calling rhetoric continue. 

Many would argue that Sharia law and/or Islamic supremacy is a rising threat to democracies throughout the world.  CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest Hamas terror-funding case in U.S. history and was founded by leaders of the Islamic Association of Palestine, an overt arm of the Islamic supremacist Mulsim Brotherhood.

Update 11/5/10 5 PM CT: 

AIFD PRESS RELEASE: American Muslim organization applauds Oklahoma anti-shariah law

CAIR Oklahoma really miffed about Oklahoman's ban on sharia law!

Last night, News Channel KFOR (4) in Oklahoma City reported more about a possible lawsuit against -  well - the majority of Oklahomans who voted to amend their state's constitution to ban sharia and interntaional law from consideration in court cases on November 2nd.

Although CAIR and other Muslims claim sharia law is impossible here they have found it necessary to try to prevent it from being prevented with a lawsuit.  So, you really have to ask yourself why.  Are they saying Islam and Sharia law are one and the same?

KFOR Video:

   

Did I mention Imam Imad Enchassi in Oklahoma City posted part of verse from the Quran on Facebook yesterday which could be considered an incitement for Muslims to fight?  I don't know what his intent was but it was a provacative verse to use, to say the least.  See my previous post for more details.

Featured: Oklahoma bans sharia law; CAIR sues, Imam Enchassi posts verse 2:216 for fighting!

On November 2nd, 70% of Oklahomans who voted decided overwhelmingly to amend the state constitution to ban judges from considering or using sharia or international law when deciding cases.  Politico quickly reported "Muslims leaders" in Oklahoma intended to fight this in court.

Liberal NPR fires Juan Williams over Muslim concern comment!

The political correctness of the liberals is really over the top now.  Do they ignore the global Islamic supremacist movements which are aided by daily terror attacks worldwide?  Do they also ignore the larger networks of Islamists and their organizations who have a presence in America?  Well, do they?  

On the Bill O'Reilly show Monday Juan Willaims said it made him nervous when he saw Muslims in their religious garb at airports after he said political correctness can led to some kind of paralysis when you don't address reality.  This conversation was a continuation of what Bill O'Reilly said on the View recently about who carried out 9/11.

CAIR, an outgrowth of the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood, may have started this when they issued a press release yesterday:  CAIR Asks NPR to Address Analyst's Remarks on Muslims.  MSNBC wrote NPR fires Juan Williams over anti-Muslim remarks‎, other liberal media followed suit.  Is it really anti-Muslim to express a worry that is supported by the fact there are Muslims who want to kill us and destroy our democracy?   Get real!

 

NPR wrote O'Reilly directly blamed Muslims for 9/11/01.  Oh, the horror of speaking the damn truth.  Muslims did carry out the 9/11 attack.  Many Muslims said it was wrong to do but others implied it was partly our fault because of our foreign policies, including the one who wants to build an Islamic center at a site hit on 9/11, Imam Feisal Rauf. 

Today NPR announced:

O'Reilly has been looking for support for his own remarks on a recent episode of ABC's The View in which he directly blamed Muslims for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Co-hosts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg walked off the set in the middle of his appearance.

"Williams responded: 'Look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.'

"Williams also warned O'Reilly against blaming all Muslims for 'extremists,' saying Christians shouldn't be blamed for Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh."

Juan Williams really got screwed here by action taken by NPR that were likely brought on by CAIR's press release.  CAIR is an organization named an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest Hamas terror-funding case in U.S. history, folks.  Islamists and some of those on the left often partner together and this is another excellent example.  More Americans need to wake up.

Juan, get a lawyer.

CAIR files lawsuit against Mighigan State Police over Imam's death

Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah was shot and killed in an FBI raid last October when agents tried to arrest him.  Abdullah and 10 others were charged with conspiracy and theft of interstate shipments, mail fraud to obtain the proceeds of arson, illegal possession and sale of firearms, and the altering and tampering with vehicle identification numbers (VIN).  According to the ABC News report linked above, the FBI said Abdulluh encouraged members of his mosque to "carry a firearm" and to be prepared for "offensive jihad."  At the time,  Dawud Walid the Executive Director of CAIR Michigan stood up for the Imam.

Newsweek shills for CAIR and convicted terrorists!

The far-left mouthpiece called Newsweek wrote on their blog a post on June 25th chiding the U.S. government for not helping the five Americans convicted in Pakistan on terror-related charges.  It fully echoed the words of an outed Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas mouthpiece in America; CAIR.

U.S. Appears Uninterested in Repatriating Five American Muslims Jailed in Pakistan

...The U.S. government appears to believe there is "good violence and bad violence," Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on Islamic-American Relations, tells Declassified, noting that the five young Northern Virginia Muslims are likely to remain in jail for a decade, while Colorado construction worker Gary Faulkner, who was arrested while trying to cross from Pakistan into Afghanistan armed with a pistol, sword and night-vision goggles, was quickly released and allowed to return to the U.S. But a senior U.S. official, who asked for anonymity when addressing a politically sensitive issue, retorts, "Rambo [Faulkner] did not leave behind a jihad videotape. There is no comparability to the two cases."

Let me rephrase it a more simpler way. The jihadist are enemies of America!  Faulkner was trying to get an enemy of America.  Big difference,  but CAIR wrongly tried to say our government has a double standard.  Awad, one of the founders of CAIR and is their Executive Director, was recorded at a secret Hamas meetingin Philly in the 90s planning how to conceal their goals to aid Hamas.

Awad attended the first CAIR Oklahoma Muslim Youth Conference last summer.  What a mistake Oklahoma Muslim leaders made to bring CAIR to Oklahoma.

Is it unfair to link Islam to terrorism?

The Seattle police department along with the Washington State police appear to think so since they withdrew from a webinar by Security Solutions International who had been accused by CAIR of unfairly linking terrorism to Islam.  Hummm, are there not thousands upon thousands upon thousands of jihadists worldwide?  What about the multitudes of jihadists websites?  Or, what about the ruling by Islamic leaders who call for combative jihad and that it's incumbent on them to fight?  Isn't it rather unfair NOT to recognize these facts? 

Duh.

CAIR, an organization founded by the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America, issued a press release about the withdrawal today:

...SSI's April 29webinar was to include presentations by employees of Microsoft, ESRI, the Seattle Police Department, and Washington State Patrol. Both law enforcement agencies announced in a community meeting on April 21 that they would withdraw from the event.

Critics have accused SSI of unfairly linking the faith of Islam to terrorism in its presentations. SSI's CEO once told the Seattle Times, "I can't take the responsibility of my course linking their religion [Islam] to terrorism. I think their religion got linked to terrorism a long time ago." An SSI trainer said in a recent webinar, "We pretty much pick on everybody; we particularly pick on Muslims."

In its trainings, SSI has offered misinformation about Islamic history, promoted Muslim "control" and "take over" conspiracy theories, advocated profiling local Muslim communities, and smeared mainstream American Muslim organizations. Despite disclaimers that "not all Muslims are terrorists," SSI presenters claim Islam's "mandate" is to "dominate the world" and refer to the false notion of "Jewish-Muslim hatred..."

Folks, CAIR and its partners (some far-left libs) are having some successful at applying Islamic law here, although it's disguised as Islamophobic behavior.  They know that too many Americans and officials will cower at being called names like bigots or hate-mongers.  But, if we don't deal in the truth, it isn't going to make us safer. The global jihadist movement is real and we hear about daily.  Islamic leaders, worldwide, have a duty to stop it.  Trying to stiffle discussions on this movement is shameful.

The fact is Islamic law forbids anything negative to be said about Islam, even if it's true, and is one way Muslims and others are strictly controlled in Islamic countries and that is what it appears CAIR does here to some degree. 

Americans had better wake up!

ACTION: CAIR goes after Rev. Franklin Graham again!

CAIR, an organization formed by the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure here, has issued a third press release about Rev. Franklin Graham and the National Day of Prayer.  The first two were related to his honorary chairmanship of the Pentagon's National Day of Prayer event where he was to speak.  After Military Religious Freedom Foundation issued a demand letter and CAIR issued an Action Alert to disinvite him, Graham was uninvited.

Yesterday, CAIR started a new effort to get Rev. Graham disinvited from speaking at Capitol Hill's National Day of Prayer for committing the sin of criticizing Islam which is forbidden to do under Islamic law. 

We cannot allow Islamic law to dictate how we can speak in America!

Not only should we be outraged,  but we should take action.  Call Congress and express your concern how a highly controversial Islamic organization wants to impose their will on free speech!  Demand Rev. Graham be allowed to speak at the Capitol Hill's National Day of Prayer event.

Call the Capitol Hill switchboard (202) 224-3121 and ask to speak to your representative and/or Senator and express very politely that you stand with Rev. Franklin Graham and his right to speak at their event and are highly concerned that a group like CAIR with its worrisome and documented history is trying to impose its will against Christians.

CAIR claims anti-government extremism moving toward the mainstream!

CAIR, an Islamist organization started by leaders of an over arm of the Muslim Brotherhood identified, issued a press release yesterday that claimed anti-government extremism is moving to the mainstream in an attempt to shift the issue over to the right. 

The mainstream?  Come on - that's even a new low for them.

You just might want to take a minute to review the page I created that tracks terror plots and trials for 2010 and previous years to see how many right-wing terror plots or trials have actually happened compared to Islamic motivated ones.

Of course, in CAIR's press release they failed to give one example that backed up their hate-filled accusation:

Davi Barker, a Muslim Agorist

Have you heard of an agorist before?  Well, I sure haven't, until now. According to Wikipedia, ideologically it's a term for a revolutionary type of anarcho-capitalism (individualistic anarchist) or free-market anarchism, whatever that means.  There's a Muslim writer in the Examiner by the name of Davi Barker who is the Muslim writer for San Francisco.  He tweets under the name MuslimAgorist.  

Recently, and quite disturbingly, CAIR asked him to talk to some high school students about libertarianism, which can mean the abolishment of a government at the far end of its definition.  A sub-category is an anarcho-capitalist who advocates this abolishment.

FBI: CAIR won't answer our questions about its executives and Hamas!

Mark Schlachtenhaufen of the Edmond Sun wrote an excellent article titled What’s the truth about CAIR? on March 6th.

The Sun even called the FBI in Washington and got their response to this highly controversial Islamic organization:

“CAIR has been advised of the reasons behind our suspension of formal partnership,” the FBI stated. “These reasons include the fact that CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in United States v. Holy Land Foundation and CAIR’s failure to answer our questions about a connection between their executives and Hamas. Until these questions are answered, the FBI does not consider CAIR an appropriate partner for formal liaison activities.”

CAIR's National Communications Director, Ibrahim Hooper, responded to the Sun by saying: “It is particularly galling when we hear these kinds of smears because we know what we do on a daily basis. He said he hoped American leaders would stand by CAIR when these smears happen.  Hooper is reportedly a former employee of the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP) which was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood (U.S. vs. HLF Exhibit 003-0003, page 5), an internal MB document used as an exhibit in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding trial. On their website it states Hooper has been with CAIR since it was founded.  CAIR's founders, Nihad Awad, its former president Omar Amad and Rafeeq Jaaber were all employees of IAP.

Hamas was started by the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine.

Hooper calls the truth a smear.  CAIR is sadly mistaken to think deceit is going to work here.

Kevin Calvey, 5th District Congressional candidate, Cindy Crenshaw the President of Oklahomans Against CAIR Hate and Charlie Meadows, chairman of the Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee were interviewed for the article:

...Area resident Charlie Meadows, chairman of the Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee, said CAIR is a front organization to make Islam as appealing as possible to western culture...Calvey said the federal government should investigate CAIR, that the group’s tax exempt status should be in question and he wants all Oklahomans to be aware of what the organization is about. He said it is a problematic organization and his goal is to put the truth out about CAIR....Last month, Cindy Crenshaw, president of Oklahomans Against CAIR Hate, called for the condemnation of CAIR after a former CAIR leader was deported.  Crenshaw, who was injured by an explosive device while she was serving in the Air Force in West Germany, said she wants Oklahomans to know the truth about CAIR, that it is a hate group like the Ku Klux Klan...

“It’s really very scary,” Calvey said. “This isn’t some innocuous group.”

Razi Hashmi, the director of CAIR's chapter in Oklahoma claimed this was part of larger problem of  misunderstanding and misinformation.

No, it's part of the problem CAIR's has about being honest.

This article is very important.  First, there's actually a reporter in Oklahoma brave enough to confront CAIR -  unlike the Tulsa World and other newspapers and media who only publish what CAIR gives them.  Secondly, CAIR employees has shown time and time again they will not be honest about the facts.  Thirdly, Edmond Sun writer, William F. O'Brien, an Assistant Attorney General for the state of Oklahoma has written pieces that shills for CAIR here, here, here, and here.  The last article recounted their annual dinner last year where a proclamation was displayed by Gov. Brad Henry which applauded the work done by CAIR in Oklahoma.  I'm glad to see the Edmond Sun step up to the plate.

And lastly, Oklahomans aren't cowering down to CAIR's attempts to call the truth "smears" or lies and are taking action!

C. S. Thornton, OK ACLU Director, tweets jab at Kevin Calvey

On January 15th, a newly formed group of brave Oklahomans, called Oklahomans Against CAIR Hate, planned to hold their first protest against the local chapter of a highly controversial national Islamic organization called CAIR outside a meeting they planned to garner support against new security procedures at airports that went into effect shortly after the failed Christmas Day airline bombing.

First of all, CAIR couldn't have picked a worse time to have such a meeting - I mean - right after a bomb failed to ignite on a jet.  Hello - what were they thinking?  But, Hamas-linked CAIR has a long history of trying to stop certain airport security measures which dates back to 1999, the earliest I could find. In fact, after 9/11 an archive of CAIR old website's press page shows the first press release they issued relating to this horrific attack was about a meeting they had with the U.S. transportation secretary over concerns of racial, ethnic and religious profiling of passengers! Now, if they issued a separate release about the 9/11 attacks itself it doesn't show up on their press release page from 2001.

A few days before 9/11 CAIR blasted the federal government over a FBI raid on Texas business Infocom and called it a Muslim witch hunt.

Anyway, when CAIR Oklahoma learned of the protest planned by Oklahomans Agaist CAIR Hate, they changed locations (see screen shot) so they could ditch the protesters which they wrote on their website!  After the meeting, C.S. Thornton, the "Deputy Director" of ACLU Oklahoma who attended the meeting in support of CAIR, tweeted a jab against Oklahoma's 5th District Congressional candidate, Kevin Calvey, who participated in the protest.

Thornton, the top representative for the ACLU in Oklahoma, couldn't have been more unprofessional and misleading.

Islamists hearts the Dems

There's a growing partnership between the Obama administration and Islamists.  Obama recently named Rashad Hussain to be his envoy to the Saudi-based and backed OIC (a 21st century caliphate empire structure).  This Islamist organization is attempting to get a binding resolution at the U.N. passed that will try to stop any criticism of Islam, worldwide.  Shutting people up, especially in weaker countries, will help Islamists and their terrorist soldiers push into power easier - a strategy to help the OIC get their new religious supremacist empire bigger and stronger, I suspect.  In Islamic countries, no one is allowed to criticize Islam, as most of you know.  Now, the OIC wants to force this onto non-Muslims.  The OIC is 2nd only to the U.N in size.

President Bush named an envoy to this growing power but Obama's choice is worrisome. 

First, a quick review of others who have caused concern with Obama's administration.  Obama's faith-based Muslim advisory, Daila Mogahed, spoke on a British TV program operated by Hizb ut Tahrir - an Islamic supremacist global organization - that is banned in many Middle East countries and said most Muslim women she interviewed want Sharia Law.   Then, if that wasn't bad enough Mogahed shilled again for Sharia Law on a Link TV program and explained away concerns about this legal structure, based on Islamic religious supremacy, that it was simply in the hands of the wrong people in power.  One could write a book about why this is so misleading.

Then,  there's Obama's other Muslim advisor, Eboo S. Patel who said Our goal is to bring the Muslim voice to American decision makers.  In other words,  they seek to have their religion high on the radar within every aspect of our local, state and U.S. government while CAIR and its state chapters work to suppress and ridicule criticism of Islam and its growing political power base when these concerns are expressed by our elected officials.  They will even pressure them if they speak out about the Christian majority in America all the while they try derail our national security efforts, at every opportunity.

Are you getting this?

In Sleeping with the Enemy, the author, Andy McCarthy, recapped a few recent articles about Obama's envoy:

For a quick round-up, Jen Rubin has more at Contentions on Rashad Hussain's appearance at a CAIR leadership summit; at Jihad Watch, Robert Spencer detailsHussain's pro-al-Arian comments and the clumsy effort to cover them up; and Powerline's Scott Johnson points out that they were made at a Muslim Students Association event — the MSA being another Muslim Brotherhood creation.  Claudia Rosett's Forbes column is a great primer on Hussain's "outreach" target, the OIC. At Pajamas, Richard Pollock has the low-down on Napolitano's group hug with leaders of ISNA (like CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism finance case), MPAC (supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah), and the Muslim American Society (the Muslim Brotherhood's American branch, dedicated to replacing American law with sharia), among others. Finally, Michelle Malkin calls attention to unexplored elements of Brennan's disgraceful performance at NYU, in particular his exchange with Flying Imams ringleader, Omar Shahin.

Americans should be concerned and pay more attention.

ACTION: CAIR pressures university over arrested students

CAIR, an organization which grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America, has issued a press release regarding the eleven Muslims college students were arrested Tuesday during a talk given by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren at the University of California Irvine:

The Greater Los Angeles Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA) and the Los Angeles office of the National Lawyers Guild (NLG-LA) on Friday sent a letter to University of California, Irvine (UCI) Chancellor Michael V. Drake urging him to drop charges against 11 students who peacefully protested at a UCI-sponsored event. A letter was also sent today to the Orange County District Attorney's office by CAIR-LA.

"...The selective application of laws by off-campus law enforcement agencies to students engaged in constitutionally-protected political speech will be viewed by the American Muslim community and those who value free speech as an attempt to repress legitimate student protest and will undermine this important First Amendment Right."

In their press release CAIR claimed these students merely spoke out and peacefully protested.  Watch the video and see for yourself.  

CAIR claims this was their free speech right. 

But, what's good for Muslims is not good for other Americans since CAIR will go after and pressure American officials if they use free speech to speak about the Christian majority in America, as in the case of Mayor Parris of Lancaster, CA. or who criticize radical Islam (see here, here and here for examples.  Remember,  CAIR's roots are born from an Islamic supremacist organization that is banned in Egypt.  Their beginnings are defined in  In U.S. vs. Sabri Benkahla,  On page 58, at the bottom, they are described as founded by leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood who conspired to deceive the public about their connection to terrorists.

We can only hope UCI's Chancellor Drake will not cave-in to this two-faced Islamist organization. 

Consider sending a a short email to Chancellor Drake and the Dean of Students to support appropriate disciplinary action with the eleven who were arrested because of their hateful, divisive and intolerant behavior towards an invited guest speaker at the university.

Muslim woman calls for civil disobedience in Michigan!

Heather Laird is the Michigan Islamic Examiner at Examiner.com.  She wrote an article yesterday titled  A time for civil engagement, action and disobedience!  She claimed "In the last few weeks too many violations to the human and civil rights of Muslims have occurred in America".

Primarily upset over stronger airline security measures, the FBI shootout with controversial Imam Luqman, who was killed,  and Wayne County judge Paul Paruk's ruling not to allow the hijab in his courtroom, upheld by the Michigan Supreme Court, Laird is calling for action by Michigan Muslims where the population of Muslims is the largest in the U.S.  

Laird laid out her 5-steps call to action.  First, Muslims should support CAIR, born from the Muslim Brotherhood Hamas infrastructure in America and the ACLU.  Second, write elected officials. Third, Muslims should attend relevant events.  Fourth,  organize as a collective unit.  Fifth, be prepared to stand-up for what you believe through civil disobedience.

CAIR complains in letter to President Obama about anti-Islamic behavior!

CAIR, ID'd by the FBI to have sprung from the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas network in America, has written a letter to President Obama citing instances of "alarming" anti-Islamic behavior in America -  such as a cross placed at the site of a new mosque or comments made by Rev. Franklin Graham or a polls of pastors who are very troubled about Islam.  There were other examples listed as well.  CAIR NY produced a Public Service Announcement that will appears on a CBS super screen in Times Square from now until January 16th to present the image of Muslims in a positive light.

Meanwhile, law enforcements officials and countless personnel are working 24/7 to keep Americans from being killed from another terror attack which are always seemed to be carried out by a Muslim.

Fifteen Americans died from attacks in the U.S. this year and CAIR writes a letter to the president because of criticism about Islam?

That's about as pitiful as you can get.

CAIR goes after Rev. Franklin Graham

CAIR, an outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America,  is taking Rev. Franklin Graham to task for his criticism of Islam on CNN - thus staying true to form in their efforts to apply Sharia Law onto non-Muslims leaders in America:

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said it has received a number of complaints from concerned Muslims who watched an interview last night on CNN during which Graham stated in part: "...we have many Muslims that live in this country. But true Islam cannot be practiced in this country. You can't beat your wife. You cannot murder your children if you think they've committed adultery or something like that, which they do practice in these other countries... I don't agree with the teachings of Islam and I find it to be a very violent religion..."

...In a new letter sent today to Graham, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad again called for a meeting at which Graham could be offered accurate and balanced information about Islam.

Awad wrote: "I believe your views on Islam are unworthy of a respected religious leader and are based on misinformation and misconceptions that could be cleared up in a face-to-face meeting with representatives of the American Muslim community..."

It is important to point out that a large number of Islamic scholars in Turkey are working to reform Islam.  "According to Fadi Hakura, an expert on Turkey from Chatham House in London, Turkey is doing nothing less than recreating Islam - changing it from a religion whose rules must be obeyed, to one designed to serve the needs of people in a modern secular democracy."  

 Another example, the Quran does NOT require a women cover her head.
