CAIR at Occupy Wall Street: ‘Islam Stands for Social Justice’

CAIR at Occupy Wall Street in Zuccotti Park: Islam Stands for Social Justice

Two women representing the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR), spoke to MRCTV Friday morning at the Occupy Wall Street rally in Zuccotti Park, stating they were there to stand in solidarity with the protesters and because “Islam stands for social justice, first and foremost.” Last week The Blaze reported that CAIR hosted a traditional Muslim “Jummah” prayer service at Occupy Wall Street on Friday.

When asked if CAIR condemned the repeated displays of anti-Semitism occurring across the Occupy movements, the woman, who identified herself as a non-Muslim CAIR staff member, said “absolutely,“ stating that Islam embraces ”all” religions. She then compared the plight of Muslims and Jews, claiming the two groups share similar struggles.

The CAIR employee also singled out the NYPD for condemnation over claims the department is investigating certain Muslim populations in the New York area:

Below is a VOA report on CAIR’s presence at Occupy Wall Street:

    Social justice as long as you follow the right type of Islam. If not, death for you.

      How can there be social justice in any of Islam. Just look at how they are doing their prayer. The women have to sit in the back. Women do not have justice in Islam.

      Yea so misleading Islam is a death cult not a religion. They make it absolutely clear if you are not a devout follower you are fair game in having your head lobbed off!

      Funny how she tries to represent CAIR as being about social justice and peoples right b/c if you take a lok at the great cult of peace you will see its completely different. Sharia is as far from justice and social justice as we are from the sun! What a joke, this is just another example of the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Communists, socialists, marxists, religious extremists aka muslims all together to take down capitalism. Funny if it werent for capitalism none of them would really exist! Their very existence is a result of it from the simplest example as their desire to eat! Capitalism provides the industry that enables them to have food to eat the hypocrites! http://www.savingtherepublic.com/The_Audacity_and_Hypocrisy_of_OccupyWallSt_Toward_Capitalism.html

      Oh btw look 1, O N E American flag flying there. Go to any conservative TEA party event and its plastered with flags. That is by far the one of the biggest visual differences btwn the radicals and we patriots!

      I dont quite know what Koran your reading but there is no such thing as Social Justice within the ideology of Islam. Not even in the Hadiths or the Sira. Not even under Sharia.

      Care to explain how you came to this conclusion.

      Well we know or we could only assume that the Muslims you refer to came from some mosque close to CAIR who backs Hamas and other terrorist org’s. and we know based on CAIR’s own spokesman that their mission is to push sharia into USA law. http://www.anti-cair-net.org/ ( CAUTION : JZS If you knee jerk a reaction to this site as biased against CAIR keep in mind CAIR had to drop a slander suit against them due to the fact that everything on their site was factual and true) anyway back to the question. So what org was the so called Jewish group from? Where they hasidic Jews? We’re they Jews who pray to Allah? (If there is such a thing. We’re the Muslims praying to the God of Abraham or to Allah the pagan idol who was once worshipped by pagans in the era of Baal long before Muhammad was born? (So obviously Allah and the true God of the Jews could not be one in the same so that point is mute) Simple historical evidence can prove this.

      Time for factual back up JZS your opinionated blabbering gibberish your passing as fact is getting old. Who were these Jews?

      I‘m glad the Iszzy’s are supporting the flea baggers. Just one more nail in the coffin of support for the movement. I hope more Dems come out in support for these fringe outcasts. I have several friends that were Dems before Nobama took center stage. I’m happy to report that they all have changed their stripes. Almost to a person they are ashamed to admit they voted for hope and change boy. I hope Nobama tells everyone everyday he supports the Wall Street guys. I called my Senator‘s office yesterday and ask if Claire supported these guys and they wouldn’t give me a straight answer. I also asked if she was in support of Nobama bypassing Congress to get things done. They told me to be patient she would probably have something to say about it in a day or so.

      I think my head is going to explode if I hear one more idiot use the term social justice. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SOCIAL JUSTICE. Are they talking about a world where people who are lazy and don’t want to be self-sustaining steal the wealth of people who work hard for what they have. If so, that is called Communism/socialism. I especially hate it when someone says that Jesus believed in social justice – no, no, no, Jesus believed in equal justice, and I challenge anyone to show me anywhere in God’s words where Jesus condones stealing. And please don‘t give me that crapt about how Jesus didn’t like rich people, he absolutely, positively loved rich successful people. because they used their God-given gitts.

      Did Chavez, Iran, The nazi party, or Hamas also join in the prayer? That would be neat if they did seeing that they all support the OWS movement. Those are some stand up characters who share your views. However, I doubt you are bothered by these groups murderous, racist, and bigoted ideologies.

    Islam’s idea of social justice is every 7 year old girl having their genitals mutilated and their vaginas sewn up. Then there are the young boys who are sodomized on a regular basis in their schools called madrases. In Islam young boys are for fun, women are for reproduction only. You think I am making this up? Check it out for yourself. Do some homework and learn of the pure evil that is islam.

      Ditto, TYRANNYNOMORE !

      Islam stands for social justice? I wonder just how many of these X and Y generation rioters/protestors are aware that Libya has announced it will now follow Sharia Law; and that the new leader of Lybia signed an executive order (sound familiar?) last week repealing the law which prohibits Polygamy? Are the U.S. protestors saying that when they’ve finished throwing out our Constitution and eliminating those of us who object, that Sharia law in the U.S. will be fine with them? What ignorant people they are. Because Islamists in the Middle East are impatiently awaiting, with baited breath, their opportunity to take over the U.S. They will, of course, start by butchering most of the people demonstrating in the streets. Then they will come for those of us refusing to renounce our belief in God and Jesus Christ.

      I urge all of you protestors reading this to turn away from your Lucifer-inspired activities, repent of all your blasphemy toward God. Return to your Heavenly Father before He sends Jesus, the Holy Angel Michael, and all of His heavenly army to remove Lucifer and his evil minions of angels, spirits, and human beings.

    CAIR has proven links to, and was founded by, Islamic Terrorists.
    CAIR actively supports terrorists and terrorist-supporting
    groups and nations.

    CAIR is an organization founded by Hamas supporters which seeks
    to overthrow Constitutional government in the United States
    and replace it with an Islamist theocracy using our own
    Constitution as protection.

    CAIR was started by Hamas members and is supported by
    terrorist supporting individuals, groups and countries.

    CAIR is not in the United States to promote the civil rights of Muslims.
    CAIR is here to make radical Islam the dominant religion in the
    United States and convert our country into an Islamic theocracy.

    CAIR receives direct funding from Islamic terrorist
    supporting countries.

No – what they’re really worried about is they are being investigated – for good reason – and want ppl to come against the cops (enemy). Want to appear as concerned, loving citizens who love America – and then can complain even more that we are treating them unfairly just because they are Muslims….CAIR is well known to be the main ones who are here to help facilitate/defend Muslims – getting Islam via “stealth” into our nation for an eventual takeover. http://www.actforamerica.com

The OWS crowd want you to live together , equal in your modern day poverty while the Islamist’s want you to live together in 8th century poverty.

    No way! Not in a million years would I swallow that. The Islamic religion has successfully brainwashed their people for years. The progressives have hitched a ride on that wagon and are using the same techniques to accomplish their results. I hate to come to this conclusion and perhaps would not if the Muslim population here would speak out against the Sharia law and the actions of the Muslim countries that they have fled from. Maybe it is out of fear, I don’t know but living here gives them the opportunity to if nothing else anonymously turn in those that are threating to our security. I have not seen that to be the case. This group is was not formed with the best interest of the Muslim community here in the US. It is known for its corrupt and dangerous agenda. It does not in any way work to peacefully introduce the Muslim community into the American society. If anything it has done the opposite just as the Black Panthers have done to the black community. They are dividing the races intentionally and brainwashing them into submission. It is sad and a disgrace that they use these people for their own benefit rather than allowing them to join and unite as equal citizens. Yes there are still allot of racism within the white community as well and I believe that we can thank these groups for pushing it through.
