CAIR Demands McCain and Obama Denounce "Islamophobia"......

My response would be, blow me.....

Obama, McCain should condemn Islamophobia- by Dawud Walid

Now that Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama have become the presumptive presidential nominees for the Republicans and Democrats, they should address how all bigotry, including Islamophobia, hurts America.

The need to address this issue is urgent given the spike in anti-Muslim rhetoric and fear-mongering during the presidential campaign. Former GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee wrote a commentary titled "We must defeat Islamofascism" in an effort to prove his national security prowess. His commentary falsely linking Islam to the odious philosophy of fascism was published on the same day that the British government announced the curtailment of "aggressive rhetoric" relating to Islam and Muslims.

During the Nevada caucuses, anonymous phone calls repeatedly referring to "Barack Hussein Obama" reached thousands of voters. Invoking the name "Hussein," which means handsome in Arabic, has become a key weapon of Obama's Islamophobic detractors.

Islamophobia, like other forms of bigotry, is un-American. Allowing it to grow unchallenged is opposed to our national values that mandate dignity and freedom from marginalization for all people, regardless of race, gender or creed.

You know what else is un-American...the Islamic ideology!

Figmentalism, i.e. islamophobia, is NOT like any other form of bigotry because it is a mere figment of the fevered imaginations of Koranists who wish to be viewed as victims in order to gain sympathy for their cause-the subjugation of the West.

Also, a denunciation of infidelophobia, which IS indeed a form of bigotry(scanning the daily world news confirms this) of the most violent type would be most welcome by either candidate or better yet, by Koran lovers. I won't be holding my breath on it though.

Amen Tater.

A phobia is a persistent, abnormal, irrational fear of something. People’s fears of Islam are neither abnormal nor irrational. It is perfectly normal to fear someone or something which wants to destroy your way of life; and fearing such is not irrational either. Indeed, it would be irrational NOT to fear Islam, given that its stated aim is to take over the world. As for people being persisent in their fears, well that is because Islam is persistent in its objectives of wanting to Islamize the world.

Its those who arent "Islamophobes" are the ones who are irrational Pierre.

"CAIR Demands..." and that's really all there is to it. CAIR does nothing but demand. It's a completely selfish organization.

Ahhh Pierre,

Your words of clarity are as refreshing as opening the window to let out the stench of political correctness.

Let us all seek to properly frame what it is that we must deal with, that way it will be effective. To defeat an enemy, one must properly define him, then stomp his ass into the mud or in this case, pig pen.
