CAIR: Censor or Free-Speech Champion?

The group opposes a law curtailing Jew hatred.

  • CAIR is the Muslim Brotherhood bullhorn created to cheerlead for sharia, for Hamas, and for sundry other jihadists — all under the guise of “civil rights.”
  • Its sole actual imperative is Islamic supremacism: promoting any cause that increases Islamic influence and protesting any effort either to reduce Islamic influence or to subject Islamic-supremacist doctrine to scrutiny.[emphasis added]
  • It is a plain, irrefutable fact that Islamic countries repress the practice of other religions. Indeed, the practice of religions other than Islam is illegal in Saudi Arabia, the OIC’s de facto leader. 
  • We then realize it makes perfect sense that Islamists would oppose critical examination of Islam but favor incitement against Jews.
  • It makes perfect sense that, like our defense lawyer, CAIR is the scourge of “hate speech” one day and the avatar of free expression the next.
  • Alas, Islamists romp in the court of public opinion. It is not a trial court, and there is no captive audience to judge its goings-on. People are busy living their lives. CAIR is obviously fraudulent, but who has time to notice? Or, better to say, the public cannot be expected to notice unless we have a responsible stenographer to make an honest record and a good-faith prosecutor to highlight the contradictions.

    Today, in those roles, we have a left-leaning media that colludes in CAIR’s “civil rights” pretensions, and a pusillanimous political class that coddles Islamists while scalding their detractors. That’s how the charlatans win.
I think we'd be better off if Islam would no longer be considered a valid religion with respect to the Free Exercise clause of the First Amendment to the US Constitution.  No other religion that I know of is in fundamental conflict with the Constitution as is Islam.  It is completely incompatible with our way of life.

I'd say treat them as they treat others --- as dhimmis.
