CAIR Does the Multicultural Two-Step

• Views: 1,844

CAIR has apparently figured out that it looks better if they denounce terror plots instead of reflexively screaming “discrimination!” CAIR Applauds FBI Efforts to Thwart Fort Dix Attack.

WASHINGTON, May 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Council on American- Islamic Relations (CAIR) today applauded efforts by federal law enforcement authorities that apparently thwarted a planned attack on Fort Dix in New Jersey.

In a statement, the Washington-based Islamic civil rights and advocacy group said:

“Based on the information gathered in this case, it seems clear that a potentially deadly attack has been averted. We applaud the FBI for its efforts and repeat the American Muslim community’s condemnation and repudiation of all those who would plan or carry out acts of terror while falsely claiming their actions have religious justification.

“We continue to urge American Muslims to be vigilant in reporting any suspected criminal activities that could harm the safety and security of our nation.”

They just can’t resist the opportunity, though, and this perfunctory denunciation is combined with a “request” that media and politicians keep the public dumb and happy, and an invitation to Muslims to report any “backlash.” It’s the multicultural one-two punch.

CAIR also requested that media outlets and public officials refrain from linking this case to the faith of Islam. The council asked mosques and Islamic institutions in New Jersey and nationwide to report any incidents of anti- Muslim backlash.
