CAIR Still Has Access to Washington

Some politicians are finally getting wise to the evil agenda of the Council on American Islamic Relations, but this radical Islamic front group still has way too much access to the corridors of US power. Case in point: CAIR OK’d to meet in Capitol.
A House Democrat has arranged for a conference room in the Capitol building to be used tomorrow by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim advocacy group criticized for its persistent refusal to disavow terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
The District-based group also is singled out by other Democratic lawmakers and some law-enforcement officials because of financial ties to terrorists.
Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., New Jersey Democrat, reserved the basement conference room for CAIR’s panel discussion Tuesday titled “Global Attitudes on Islam-West Relations: U.S. Policy Implications.”
“We just see it as a simple room request,” Pascrell spokesman Caley Gray said. “We did receive a room request and evaluated it and approved it.”
He said the forum “opens up an important dialogue about global public opinion concerning the United States.”
In a case of poetic justice, CAIR’s recent PR push (with their representatives showing up all over the airwaves, attacking CAIR’s critics and whining about phony and/or exaggerated injustices) has had the opposite effect from what they hoped. They’re up to no good, and the more they show their face, the more people see CAIR’s true nature.
And as usual, the politicians are the last to figure it out.
