Hollywood in bed with CAIR

Posted on June 24, 2007

Arlene Peck says below that the movie about the murder of Daniel Pearl by Islamists has been prostituted into representing Muslims as the opposite of what they are

Move over, Bill O’Riley! CAIR has so perfected the art of spin that I don’t think even you would catch the con job until it was over. At least, I’d bet that the innocents at Paramount didn’t have a clue that the screening they arranged for the movie, “A Mighty Heart,” was a ruse to make CAIR, the terror supporting organization, look good.

Hussam Ayloush, Executive Director of CAIR- Greater Los Angeles Area,joined forces with Rabbi Haim Dov Beliak, a nondescript nobody whom no one has ever heard of. Lacking credibility, his claim to fame, apparently, that he is head of a dot.com “synagogue” and a group called, “Jews on First.com” He shared the panal with another group called “Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace” (don’tcha just love it?) Oh yes, another of the panelists was DeDe Gardner, co-producer with Brad Pitt/Plan B Entertainment. She was on the stage thinking she would be discussing the movie in an effort to publicize the movie. This was held in the Sherry Lansing screening room at the studio. I thought it kind of a clever that the venue was held at the site named for a Jewish girl who made good.

It was an evening that CAIR cleverly orchestrated. It was simply a forum for presenting the audience with a means to discuss how to”Build Unity and Understanding in Today’s World.” Folks, for this terrorist supporting organization to carry that off.imagine the Nazi Party having a car wash benefit for a group of yeshiva boys. I was waiting for them to raffle off a puppy.

The movie, about Daniel Pearl, was made to show the sick, barbaric mentality of his captors and the primitive and savage lifestyle in that part of the world. Yet, Paramount gave CAIR was given a platform from which to proclaim that the criminals out there were giving Muslims a bad name. Hussam, referring to CAIR, claimed that Muslims suffer from ‘misconceptions. “There is wide spread belief that Muslims are sympathetic to terrorism. And of course, CAIR cares about all religions.” I think that he referred to what is happening now as the “demonization of the Muslim religion.” Finally, he smiled and said..”CAIR cares about not only Daniel Pearl but all human beings. CAIR is speaking against evil through their own people.”

Of course, had we been allowed to ask questions during this so-called “dialogue,” I would have said that if that were the case, how come the Koran says, “if you’re not one of them.. then they must be destroyed!”
