MUSLIMS CALL THEMSELVES INNOCENT VICTIMS

CAIR CALLS UPON OBAMA TO PUT AN END TO ISLAMOPHOBIA

by Paul Williams of The Last Crusade

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has called on President Obama to address what it called an “alarming level of anti-Islam hate in our nation.”

In a letter to President Obama, CAIR cites the following incidents as proof of a rising problem of Islamophobia that must be met by immediate federal response:

• a cross with the message “Christian nation, Christian community” was planted at the site of a planned mosque and an anti-Islam Christmas display was set up by a church in Florida.

• anti-Islam brochures distributed in the parking lot of a Washington state Islamic school

• hate-filled fliers posted in a Minnesota Somali community

• an attack on a Sikh youth in Texas who was mistaken for a Muslim

• the painting of “Go Home Sand N**ger” on an Idaho Muslim’s truck

• the harassment of a Muslim bank customer in Illinois because of her Islamic head scarf

• an attack on another Illinois Muslim after the Fort Hood shootings

• a call by far-right members of the U.S. House of Representatives to investigate Muslim interns on Capitol Hill as “spies”

• the ethnic intimidation of an Ohio Muslim who found a noose and a toy camel on his door

• a Colorado sheriff who called the U.S. Marines “Travel agents to Allah”

• the failure of Virginia’s governor-elect to repudiate anti-Islam statements by one of his top supporters

• a defaced Quran that was left at a Michigan mosque

• a spate of vandalism incidents at mosques nationwide

• anti-Islam remarks by Christian evangelist Franklin Graham

• the use of anti-Islam rhetoric in the platform of a Minnesota congressional candidate

CAIR is also concerned that a recent poll shows that two-thirds of Protestant pastors consider Islam “dangerous.”

“President Obama is in the best position to address the alarming level of anti-Islam hate in our nation and to urge religious and political leaders to speak out in support of tolerance and mutual understanding,” says CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad.

He adds that President Obama himself has been targeted by anti-Muslim hate despite the fact that he is Christian. A Colorado car dealer recently put up a billboard depicting the president as a turban-wearing militant.

A new CAIR public service announcement (PSA), called “I am Muslim, I am American,” now flashes on the CBS Super Screen in New York City’s Times Square.
