CAIR Goes After Jackie Mason
Jackie Mason calls Islam a ‘murderous’ religion, and CAIR’s seethe-o-meter goes to eleven. And as usual, the Islamist hate group delights in calling a Jew a “Nazi,” moans about “Islamophobia,” and tries to ignore the substance of Mason’s remarks.
Comedian Jackie Mason raised the ire of a controversial Islamic lobby group by calling “the whole Muslim religion” a “murderous organization” that teaches “hate, terrorism and murder.”
The remarks came when Mason hosted the Jim Bohannon Show, syndicated nationally by the Westwood One radio network. Mason was elaborating on a comment by his co-author, New York lawyer Raoul Felder, who said Islam “is a religion of hate, this is a religion of murder.”
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, filed a complaint with the FCC and wants Westwood One to apologize. Mason, according to CAIR, amplified on Felder’s “bigotry.”
“This is amazing information that almost nobody is aware of … everyone thinks that it’s a legitimate religion that preaches love and brotherhood,” said Mason. “The truth of the matter is [that terrorists] are reflecting the religion and following the religion.”
They are “following the orders of the religion directly from the Quran … in plain English, the whole Muslim religion is preaching and teaching hate, terrorism and murder, and nobody knows it, and its about time they found out about it, ” Mason said.
“The Quran … is 50 versions of hate, venom, hostility, and murder … dedicated to terrorism,” he added. “ … I don’t know how we can call it a religion in the traditional sense. It should be called a murderous organization that’s out to kill people.”
In a letter to Westwood One, CAIR demanded a public apology to the Muslim community and “an opportunity to refute Mason’s Islamophobic smears.”
The letter stated: “It is this type of hate-filled propaganda that was used by the Nazis as justification for their persecution of the Jewish community in Germany.”
Here’s one of the articles by Mason and Felder that CAIR would like to see outlawed: Religion of Hate.
