The Council on American-Islamic Relations. The name says it all doesn't it?
It's an organization described on their website as "America's largest Islamic civil liberties group, with regional offices nationwide and in Canada." The name has connotations of "us v. them". They cannot, will not and simply do not, consider themselves Americans. They are Islamic; hopefully one day to be united under one big happy caliphate.
The council on American - Islamic relations; it's as if this is a diplomatic mission. They cannot call themselves Islamic Americans, this is an oxymoron.
They cannot be both muslim and American at the same time. A recent story on CBS about muslim cadets at West Point shows how they avoid this question.
When asked by the interviewer whether he was a muslim first and an American second or vice-versa, he stated that we americans "like to separate things into categories, but sometimes it's more complex than that." Well I got news for that cadet; it isn't complex, are you an american first or not. It's a simple damn question, answer it simply. Am I a Christian first or an American?
I'm an American first and foremost. The country abides for the most part by Christian values. The things in our society that bring moral conflict to me don't cause me the consternation that it causes CAIR. Their tits are always in a wringer about something and they want to legislate any annoyance to them out of existence.
The more I hear from CAIR the more I dislike and distrust them.
would like to have faith in the american military abilities of American Muslims, but I have grave doubts when I read the last statement in this article."That%u2019s the big thing with society today," says Faraz when asked if he feels like an American Muslim soldier %u2013 American first, Muslim second. "We would like to separate things into categories but sometimes it's just more complex than that."I have no trouble what so ever being an American first.
