Council on Islamic American Relations a/k/a C.A.I.R; What do you know about this group? What are your thoughts

Question

about this group?

Answer 1

Just another PAC (like AIPAC) who has their own ideas, wants and needs and willing to buy off the govt. to get legislation in their favor.

Answer 2

They are a money laundering organization for terrorists.

Most Muslims, especially here in the U.S.A., are good, honest, hard working people. They are no more terrorists than you or I. In fact, they are victims of the Islamo-facists, no less than you or I, and perhaps more.

This is why you don't hear moderate Muslims decrying such things at suicide bombers, or the teddy bear incident. If they speak out against the radicals, they are at greater risk of bodily harm than you or I.

I don't trust C.A.I.R. at all. Even liberal Senator Barbara Boxer, Democrat from California, admitted that she made a mistake in supporting an award for them. She later realized what C.A.I.R. really is, and voiced her regrets.

Answer 3

Terrorist front group.  Trying to put a pretty face on a religion that stones women to death for not wearing a bag on their head and that cuts peoples heads off for drawing cartoons!  Bunch of sleazebags who should be outlawed!

Answer 4

Just like any lobby group, willing to buy off the government to achieve its own goals. I support its empowerment of Muslims but its methods are suspect.

And BTW, to the right-wing Christian insulting Islam: So, its OK for the Catholic Church to cause a huge fuss over "The Golden Compass" because of symbolism but it IS ok to slander a prophet. If a Jesus cartoon was made, you people would be up in arms and thats  all we would hear for months.
