CAIR not addressing the issues of DVD

Even though I have yet to hear from CAIR, they are doing what they do best. Inflaming the ummah with whine-o-gram statements insisting islam and muslims are offended.

So CAIR addresses the issue by deflecting concerns many Americans may have after viewing the free DVD and donning the cloak of victim-hood. In an islam-oped CAIR's Ahmed Rehab tries to demonize CNN's Glenn Beck for his endorsement, "Obsession is without exaggeration one of the most important films of our time," Rehab asks "Who would accuse Glenn Beck of exaggerating?" Indeed Ahmed, the same question could be asked of CAIR.


Rehab continues with this claim; “The film’s ultimate goal is to lay the grounds for a larger religious war that goes beyond our national security interests and has only two beneficiaries: radical evangelicals who hold an apocalyptic worldview, and war profiteers who gamble at the expense of thousands of American lives and trillions of tax-payer dollars.” Yes, those evil evangelicals and Haliburton are to blame for the images shown in the documentary not the RoP.

CAIR believes the DVD is exploiting ignorant Americans and the hysteria caused by this ignorance will increase the popularity of the Iraq war.
Here’s their 2 point explanation;

First, it exploits Americans’ unfamiliarity with Islam and Muslims to suggest that deviant groups are somehow representative of most, if not all, Muslims. It scours the Muslim world for bizarre incidents and falsely projects them as the accepted norm.
And;
Second, “Obsession” exploits the legitimate apprehension that many feel in this country as a result of 9/11 and attempts to instigate a state of full-blown hysteria. Only widespread hysteria could make questionable military excursions such as the Iraq occupation a possible sell yet again.

Yep, they have it all figured out!


Again, CAIR has failed to honestly critique the documentary, admit the inherent tendency towards violence so prevalent in the muslim world and work to overhaul the image of the religion they follow.

Silly CAIR wabbits! DINAH is the one who "scours the Muslim world for bizarre incidents and projects them as the accepted norm"!!!!

(In fact I've got some lulus right here: http://tiny.cc/LsWVK )

Bwa-ha-ha!

Oh Miss J. CAIR is in overdrive trying to divert attention from the unfortunate fact that the only people committing terrorist acts are Muslims, aren't they?

As you so succinctly state:
CAIR has failed to honestly critique the documentary, admit the inherent tendency towards violence so prevalent in the muslim world and work to overhaul the image of the religion they follow.

Unfortunately, CAIR will never, ever be honest.

I'm afraid you're correct D.

But I can't believe the government isn't watching everything they do. Surely I can't be the only one who thinks they're a nefarious group up to no good in America.

CAIR is the one that "scours the Muslim world for bizarre incidents and falsely projects them as the... norm." Every time someone gives a Muslim a dirty look (even if it's deserved), CAIR is right there screaming that all Americans hate Muslims.

When will CAIR be disbanded, deported, discredited, or thrown in the slammer for aiding terrorism?
