CAIR Demands Obama and McCain Denounce “Islamophobia”

Posted on July 8, 2008

I can’t print what my response would be, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see both candidates embrace this suggestion from CAIR. Then again, Obama did exclude that one Muslim woman from the photo with him.

Now that Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama have become the presumptive presidential nominees for the Republicans and Democrats, they should address how all bigotry, including Islamophobia, hurts America.

The need to address this issue is urgent given the spike in anti-Muslim rhetoric and fear-mongering during the presidential campaign. Former GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee wrote a commentary titled “We must defeat Islamofascism” in an effort to prove his national security prowess. His commentary falsely linking Islam to the odious philosophy of fascism was published on the same day that the British government announced the curtailment of “aggressive rhetoric” relating to Islam and Muslims.

During the Nevada caucuses, anonymous phone calls repeatedly referring to “Barack Hussein Obama” reached thousands of voters. Invoking the name “Hussein,” which means handsome in Arabic, has become a key weapon of Obama’s Islamophobic detractors.

Islamophobia, like other forms of bigotry, is un-American. Allowing it to grow unchallenged is opposed to our national values that mandate dignity and freedom from marginalization for all people, regardless of race, gender or creed.

    We are under no obligation to respect a religion that we completely reject or disagree with. Like Islam, for example.

    Under the First Amendment, we have the right to disagree with a religion or reject a religious ideology that’s not compatible with our Judeo-Christian or secular American values or, at least, acceptable to our ways of life.

    I’m not afraid of Islam or its psuedo-”peaceful” proselytizers. I outrightly reject Islam. The Bible clearly warns us of a dangerous false religion or of wolves in sheep’s clothing. I think that’s best described the Satanic nature of Islam. No amount of intimidation, “peaceful” re-education or threat of violence or death will change my mind or my position on Islam.

    I believe in freedom of religion for all, but no such religion in the world is perfect or without fault or any superior over all other religions. Please respect this overall view, whether you agree or disagree with it. I said it all, thank you.

    CAIR: Islamophobia isn’t the problem. Seems to me like it’s “Christianophobia” suffered by the Muslims is the problem. Christians are the ones who are not tolerated.

    Islam needs to be rejected and ejected from these shores of our Country! Islam is a false man made religion started 600 years after Jesus Christ laid his life down as a Spotless, sinless sacrafice so that we can be reconcilled to GOD. The god of islam is not the GOD of the BIBLE. Mohammad claimed to have been visited by the angel of light, which the Bible describes as Lucifer, Satan. Mohammad was a rapist, murdering thief and child molester, it’s all facts and allah they worship is not The GOD of Creation, Jehova. Allah is and was a pagen idol of worship of the moon god. Islam is the lie of Satan and revelations tells of the one world religion of satainc self indulgent worship of the devil. Muslums will not even listen to the Truth of Gods Word, if they did they would accept Jesus as Loard and Savior and would have everlasting life in heaven, unfortnetly their are decieved by the lies of the satanic koran.

    Liberals have always been taken in by decievers of the demoncratic party, hey whatever goes goes, no moral standards, no ethics, no honor. Lies and more lies to decieve and rip off the American public while they give this counrty to our enemies abroad. Did you ever wonder why they picked the donkey as a symbol, yep thats right, just a bunch of stuborn Jackasses that will not even hear what someone elses opinion might be, they get very hostile and very hateful. They will spew their venom and if some one else wants to speake they shout them down because they believe the only opinion should be their lack of moral retoric

    The Boy Scouts of America is one of the last orgization the ACLU and the Perverted homosexuals have not been able to get to so they can pervert and molest boys with moral fiber. Yes I will say it homosexuals are perverted sexual preditors, thats the only reason that they want to get in so they can rape children.
