CAIR Press Release Celebrates Ousting of ‘Islamaphobic’ Republicans

CAIR Celebrates Ousting of Islamaphobic Republicans Including Allen West

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is out en-force, celebrating the defeat of so-called “Islamaphobes” in congress. The nation’s largest Islamic advocacy organization, which was named by the U.S. Justice Department an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the Holy Land Foundation trial (the largest U.S. terror-funding trial in history) showed its boastful side in a press release issued Friday that praised the ousting of Republican favorite Allen West, along with Republican Rep. Adam Hasner and their European counterpart, Dutch MP Geert Wilder’s.

CAIR blasted West for calling Islamism a “totalitarian theocratic political ideology” and labeled the distinguished veteran “Islamaphobic.” CAIR continues:

Hasner once co-hosted an event featuring Dutch anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders that was also sponsored by Anti-Muslim hate group leader Pamela Geller. In 2009, Hasner attempted to block a “Florida Muslim Capitol Day.” In 2007, he sponsored a screening of the anti-Muslim film “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West” for state legislators.

The dubious Islamic group also touted the losses of Florida school board candidate Terry Kemple, who it labeled, “anti-Muslim.” Also part of CAIR celebrations was Illinois, Rep. Joe Walsh, who drew the organization’s ire for allegedly saying that “godly men and women” in congress should “stand in the face of the danger of Islam.”

“Walsh left the door open for suspicion of every Muslim living in Illinois when he responded saying radical Islam is more of a threat ‘now that it was right after 9/11,’” the CAIR press release reads.

Further, the losses of Arkansas Rep. Charlie Fuqua and Minnesota Rep. Chip Cravaack were also part of CAIR’s festive jubilation.

“These encouraging results clearly show that mainstream Americans reject anti-Muslim bigotry by candidates for public office and will demonstrate that rejection at the polls,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad. “This election witnessed an increased political awareness and mobilization effort among American Muslims that dealt a major blow to the Islamophobia machine.”

Somehow, it is unlikely that any of the aforementioned political candidates who failed in their re-election bids did so due to their stances on radical Islam. Still, it benefits CAIR to politicize these Republican losses as proof positive of a “racist” and “Islamaphobic,” America.

  No – you’re not alone. The country has spoken and I’m tired of fighting. If the country wants to go to h3ll in a hand basket – let them. I’ll not ever vote again either. I’m tired of holding my nose and voting for the lesser of two evils. The only candidate I voted for that I have no regrets over was Ronald Reagan. There are no Reagans out there now.

  This organization should never have been made a part of our government, much less given all the power it has. If we do not curb their actions, believe me all our Christian rights will be denied and we will either become a nation of Islam or die for our Christian belief. It is coming my friend. Obama will stand with them as we have already seen proof of that and it will be more evident in the next 4 years and changes will be seen a lot sooner than that.

  For once this life-long conservative agrees with you. I may be old and cynical, but I feel no need to rely on any religion for moral guidance, and wonder about the strength of character of those who feel it necessary to derive their morals from a book. I consider many Christian leaders to be little more than the flip side of the Taliban. I cannot view “organized” religion as good when it has been directly responsible for millions of deaths over the ages.

  This is our free speech being destroyed to appease Islamists who around the world are calling for our destruction and Israel’s destruction. Why is it being made wrong to say you don’t agree with Islam. I don’t that’s for sure. Islam is not just a religion, it is a military, economic, political, totalitarian system that masquerades as a religion. It calls for all non-Muslim’s destruction. Why are we being forced to say we like it? Obama is helping the Islamists to make anti-blasphemey laws here & the whole world so none of us can speak up and tell the truth about the crimes Islamists are committing against innocent people all over the world. If they succeed in making it “hate speech”, then they have silenced our ability to protect ourselves from a REAL danger & threat. Islamophobia is a word they invented to censor us. Obama is helping them do it. A phobia is an irrational, unmerited fear. The actions of Islamists the world over are legitimately fear inspring.
  
  VIDEO: Pamela Geller is hot a hate person. She’s telling the truth at Atlas Shrugs explaining the indoctrination and the Islamization going on in America, in our government and in our schools, that is not being reported on. She lives under death threats as does Geert Wilders, PM from the Netherlands (has to stay in a different safe house every 2nd night), &Robert Spencer, Walid Shoebat, Nonie Darwish & Salman Rushdie.

Interesting how the left is so pro Islam and wants to protect them from politicians that view them as danger, but they are willing to accept phonies that don’t promote anything, thus making any viewpoint as good as the next. They naively believe that it willall lead to live and let live, peace and harmony. The reality is it takes away your divine soul. You cannot erase what Adam did. You cannot go back to innocense through denial of the good and evil knowledge that you desired at the beginning. Youcan only whitewash it and when you do, you will then be dead to God forevermore. No sin is unpardonable through the blood of Jesus Christ save this Sin.

Did anyone notice that obama said that he did not shave on election day? America….you just may see the muslims take more power than you could ever imagine in this country. Christians better be aware of exactly where this president puts his allegiance. 58 million people voted against freedom last Tuesday and they are too stupid to realize it……. they just wanted their free stuff. Didn’t your father ever tell you that NOTHING IS FREE. Somewhere, someway, somehow….you WILL pay for what you have been given for “free”…… What will that price be…..will it be your freedom for free stuff….is that a fair trade to you….?

I am sick of this misapplication of the suffix “phobic” Phobia is an irrational fear not a dislike. I am not afraid of Muslims I have good reasons to dislike them, I will fight their attempts to walk on my freedom of speech and I will NEVER accept the dhimma contract, I will fight and I will die first.

I am not afraid of homosexuals, I loath them. I have yet to see a F A G that I couldn’t beat with one had tied behind me. Not a bit of fear there so never make the mistake of thinking I am afraid.

Get this through your cranium Enconium: Michelle Bachman is a good person and humble God fearing person. What do the commie media paint her as? A terrorist bigot.

Get this through your cranium Encinoum: CAIR and HUMA Weiner and Obozo want to paint the Muslim Brotherhood as peaceful people that you should invite into your home, even though they hate and want to kill you. They, Obozo’s Blk Panthers and Mus.Brotherhood want to take a sword to your neck, but Bachman and people that are disgusted with ridiculous bloated government are terrorist’s in Obozo’s world wacky District of Corruption (Evil) world.

The Islamists are emboldened with the reelection of their friend in the white house,look at the pigs using our system against us. The regime bans the use of the words terrorist,Islamists and jihad and if you can’t identify your enemy you can’t defeat him.We have the same situation today as we did in the 50′s,back then it was communists who infiltrated our government and society in general. Today it’s the Islamists who have positions of power inside our government thanks to the Marxist mulatto POS BTW when will we get our first black president? And I wonder if he/she will be as anti-American as this pig.

  There’s another story on here about whether the GOP should reconsider socially conservative positions. Reading the comments there made me laugh. These people are being lead down a blind alley where they’ll be shot in the head. Its like Rush today talking about how Liberals are stating he’s the reason the GOP is losing —— well if that were really the case liberals would make a shrine to him.
  Its complete nonsense.

  There is no comparason in Islamics and Communists. Communists may have wanted to take over the country, but they didn’t go around blowing themselves and others up. One of the big problems with Islamists is that they don’t want to assimilate into American culture. That being the case, the ones feeling that way should never have come here, or if they are here they should go back to where they came from.
