Have a look at CAIR on The O’Reilly Factor, days after the Christmas terror plot. Ibrahim Hooper is truly a media mastermind. He clearly avoids all questions asked and stays on his messaging. He makes profiling sound ridiculous and describes Muslims being forced to stand in a separate line. Anyone who understands profiling (see this article), must understand it isn’t about putting people in different lines.

Hooper says in the interview, “It’s very easy to give away ‘other poeple’.” This means that he is trying to show Muslims as “other people”, essentially underdogs. However, the newest CAIR campaign shows Muslims to be normal Americans. Sorry Hooper, you can’t play for both teams! You may sound slick but we can all see through your polished messaging!

CAIR is raising money for a campaign launched last week: A 15 second ad in Times Square, to be seen by millions that highlights the “average” Muslim-American, including a human rights activist and a little league player.

Most agree that there are moderate Muslims who are in fact “good Americans.” The issue however is the amount of effort that CAIR is putting towards highlighting Muslims as patriotic, when nowhere on their site is there any condemnation of the Flight 253 terror attack, or other terror attacks for that matter.

Not only is this new campaign an attempt to show all Muslims as patriotic, CAIR exudes misplaced priorities by showing that anti-Islamic rhetoric is America’s biggest problem. Forget the threat to our national security.

I checked out the press release section to see their response to the huge increase in homegrown terrorist activity. I found nothing. What I did see, however, was a press release condemning the popular and controversial show “Curb Your Enthusiasm” for mocking Jesus. Thank you CAIR. None of us can see through your mask and we actually believe that you care how Christianity is portrayed in the media.

If CAIR spent as much time denouncing terrorism as it did playing a ridiculous role of “Serving Our Country,” American Muslims would be far better off.

Email CAIR Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper, ihooper@cair.com and let him know that he is doing nothing but hurting American Muslims.

To mark the closing of a new year Time Magazine published an article about how the year 2009 saw an “unprecedented surge” of terror activity on US soil. There have been 32 planned attack since the tragedy of 9/11. Some of the more well known cases included the shooting at the Fort Hood military base in November. The murder of a soldier by a Muslim convert in Little Rock, and in January, the arrest of a Long Island convert who pleaded guilty to helping Al Qaeda with a plot to blow up a train in Penn Station.
The spokespeople for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) claim that these events do not point to a trend and the charge that Muslim Americans are being radicalized in US Mosques if false. What do you think about this? There is plenty of evidence that points to the fact that this is untrue and four of the cases outlined in the article are about Americans who converted to Islam and then carried out their plans.
One of the lessons learned in 2009 is that the internet has become a breeding ground for terrorist training activity. American Muslims are encouraged to stay in the US rather than travel to Pakistan or Afghanistan and commit isolated acts of terror.
Brian Jenkin’s a RAND corporation expert suggests that many of the young men carrying out these attacks were at a very impressionable age when the attacks on 9/11 were carried out. He says that “some would have been inspired by it and caught up in the jihadist narrative”. Thankfully, Americans are becoming more aware that this threat is here and more people are contacting their local officials when they see something suspicious.
I wonder what 2010 will bring?
