CAIR: Only Doing Half Their Job
CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, has been doing much to promote the existence of a tender loving side of all Islamists everywhere. A side that YOU KNOW just wants to make us both a fresh cup of hot cocoa, with tiny marshmallows, and sit with us on the porch at night and listen to the gentle falling autumn rain all the while reminiscing about the humor of the popular but now defunct Calvin and Hobbes comic strip of days gone by. At times I get the feeling that an Islamist's violently protesting the mere existence of America in the streets of Damascus may just be a way of asking if we'd prefer a dash or nutmeg or cinnamon but seems to me, they (CAIR) are only doing half the job their name implies.
Sure, I could see CAIR acting like beheadings, behandings, stonings and honor killings are all just quaint little carryovers from a bygone era sort of like churning your own butter or using table manners. And maybe, I can see them portraying those sorts of behaviors as just a big ol' buncha hooey trumped up by the zionists and crusaders to make Islamists look barbaric The end result there is an obvious heartfelt effort to make Islamis look better in the eyes of Americans. But what about the other half of the RELATIONship (The 'R' in CAIR), What are they doing there?
Are they doing anything to promote Americans and their behavior among Islamists radical or otherwise? If so, I've not seen it. Did they make videos showing Abu Graib was just a big prison slumber party gone terribly awry? Not that I saw. Do the have news conferences saying how the the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq are attempts to make the Islamic world a safer place so you can in the privacy or your own home to beat your wife (or wives) for showing some ankle in public? Nooooo! I've never seen that video either.
Do they show how blessing of plenty in America and ask does Allah allow wickedness to flourish and abound while many islamists live on diets of warm sand. Do they ever suggest maybe Allah likes us a little bit too or else he'd be smashing us into warm sand to feed the Islamists with? If so they've kept them hidden even from the New York Times.
To me it seems they only care (get it?) about making Americans look bad and Islamists look good. While I admire them for taking the harder task, still that's an all take and no give arrangement. Relationships like that are doomed. It's time to break up. Because CAIR, doesn't.
