CAIR Demands John McCain Appoint Muslim Campaign Advisors
In another paid press release intended to look like a news article, unindicted Hamas co-conspirators CAIR now want John McCain to appoint Muslim advisors to his campaign.
Bold enough?
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on presidential candidate Sen. John McCain to appoint a Muslim campaign advisor and a Muslim White House aide if elected in 2008.
CAIR’s request came following McCain’s remarks that America is a “Christian” nation and that he would not be comfortable with a Muslim in the White House. …
“The Constitution, reflecting the principles of the Founding Fathers and those who voted for its ratification, prohibits religious tests for public office,” said CAIR National Legislative Director Corey Saylor. “Senator McCain should know that our nation was founded on universal moral principles common to many religions and philosophies. He does a disservice to those principles by suggesting that not belonging to a particular religious group limits an individual’s ability to lead.”
Saylor said Muslim advisors could offer McCain accurate information on issues related to Islam and the American Muslims.
