CAIR vs. Giuliani

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 26, 2007 08:01 AM

The grievance-mongers at CAIR have issued an “Action Alert” against Rudy Giuliani for using–gasp!–the phrase “Islamic terrorism.”

LGF has a reminder of CAIR’s attack on Giuliani for rejecting disaster-relief aid from Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal after 9/11.

Badge of honor.

    From CAIR’s website:

    ” Contact the Rudy Giuliani Presidential Committee to express your concerns about his promotion of linking the faith of Islam to terrorism.”

    How about they contact the terrorists who are using the faith of Islam to justify their acts?

    How about Guiliani’s campaign being fully devoid of substance and based solely on scarring the American people? How about Guiliani trying to cheap score political points when Ron Paul pointed out that we were attacked for meddling in Middle Eastern affairs (which is what OBL and others have said)? How about Guiliani being so “forward thinking” that he put his emergency office in the World Trade Center after the attacks of 1993? How about Guiliani not thinking maybe the police department and fire department should be able to communicate with each other? How about Guiliani not being able to hire anyone who is not a criminal or involved in a sex scandal? I won’t even get into his personal life, that’s MM’s department.

    How is it that after all the attacks by these Islamics, all the polititians etc are falling over themselves to re-assure muslims? It should be the muslims falling over themselves to re-assure everyone else! We keep being told that these terrorists are not real muslims, well maybe it is the ones not murdering and maiming in the name of islam that are not the real muslims. I still wouldn’t vote for Giuliani but anyone on cairs hitlist can’t be all bad:)

    MikeB:

    Please wake up, and stop being part of the “Blame America First” crowd. We were not in Iraq in 2001; it is not our “meddling” with Middle Eastern affairs that causes terrorism. It is our mere existence, our freedoms, our culture.

    And don’t give me that BS liberal line that WE need to change to accomodate them…that if we were more tolerant, more diverse, they’d somehow stop trying to blow us up. It is naive and ignorant to think a rousing chorus of “Kumbaya” will suddenly bring about world peace and cause terrorists to drop their guns, IEDs, and car bombs.

    Terrorists – terrorists who practice ISLAM – have said repeatedly that their goals are thus:

    1) Destroy the Great Satan (America) and the Little Satan (Israel).

    2) Bring about an Islamic caliphate, where the entire world is under Islamic rule.

    3) Work to attack America until they take over the White House.

    Why are you ignoring what the terrorists have said and, instead, opting to attack Guliani as being the ONLY one with issues? (For the record, I do not support Guliani because he supports abortion and gun-control laws, so I do not have a personal stake in his candidacy).

    Terrorism is – by and large – a product of Islam. If you disagree, please document what other religion has been responsible for thousands upon thousands of attacks, beheadings, hostage-takings, and other acts of terrorism since 9/11/2001.

    You’ll find NONE. And anytime there is an attack, you won’t find a group like CAIR trying to sweep it under the rug.

    It is not racist, it is not bigoted, it is not profiling to point out that the hijackers on 9/11, the 7/7/05 London bombers, the would-be London/Glasgow bombers earlier this month were all of Islamic background.

    It is not racist, bigoted, or profiling to point out that the religious clerics who constantly call for a caliphate, world domination, and destruction of free societies preach in the name of Islam.

    It is pure fact and observation.

    I stand correct BigAnge. But, Ron Paul is hardly an idioit. First, he was a doctor. Second, he is the only Republican in the Presidential race with principles. He says we should not be dragged into foreign conflicts, that is what Republicans used to say until their party was taken over by neo-Cons and theo-Cons (like MM). He, unlike MM, also thinks that the Constitution was not repealed after 9/11.

    English: First, we were involved in Iraq in 2001 (remember Clinton’s no fly zones). Second, we have supported authoritarian leaders in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Saddam (in the 1980s), Jordan) for a long time and had military bases in Saudi Arabia that really got under OBL’s skin.

    Do I think al Quida is going to change if we were to leave the US completely? No. Do I support anything they have done? Of course not. But, the way to beat the terrorists is to continue to have an open, democratic society and not let Rudy scare us into giving up our freedoms.

    Asking us not to use the term ‘Islamic Terrorism’ is like that goofy judge recently who told a sexual assault victim that she couldn’t use the term ‘rape’ during the trial – she had to say ‘sex’ or ‘intercourse’ – and the prosecution was barred from using the term ‘sexual assault kit’.

    As far as CAIR going after Guilliani… wow.. that’s a surprise…not. They will be going after everyone who even hints that America should be concerned about terrorism. Expect much more stupidity and probably some more politically correct lawsuits before the 2008 elections.

The one who may be subject to perjury charges? (But, I digress.) With domestic spying, politicizing the US Attys, illegal detentions, signing statements, abuse of executive privilege (which should only apply to the President’s conversations, not the entire executive branch) and so on, the Bush/Cheney/Gonzalez regime is a threat to our freedom. All principled Conservatives (if there are any left besides Ron Paul) would concur.

    Between the first attempt at bombing the WTC in 1993 and the bombing of the USS Cole in 2000 there were 24 “major” Islamic Terrorist actions around the world. Some of them were prevented or simply failed, while others killed and injured large numbers of people. Some were “dry runs” testing their plans for 9/11.

    I find it interesting that CAIR was formed in 1994, right after we started seeing Islamic Terrorist activity on American soil. Coincidence? I think not.

    I also don’t think I need to remind any of you who the President was through all of that … and he did nothing to go after those responsible for the attacks on this country.

    Here are just the ones that were directed at the USA or were “dry runs” for USA planned attacks.

    * January 25, 1993: Mir Aimal Kansi, a Pakistani, fired an AK-47 into cars waiting at a stoplight in front of the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters in Virginia, killing two CIA employees.

    * February 26, 1993: Islamic terrorists try to bring down the World Trade Center with car bombs. They failed to destroy the buildings, but killed 6 and injured over 1000 people.

    * December 11, 1994: A bomb explodes on board Philippine Airlines Flight 434, killing a Japanese businessman. It develops that Ramzi Yousef planted the bomb to test it for the larger terrorist attack he is planning. (9/11)

    * December 24, 1994: In a preview of September 11, Air France Flight 8969 is hijacked by Islamic terrorists who planned to crash the plane into the
    Eiffel Tower in Paris. (Sound familiar?)

    * January 6, 1995: Operation Bojinka, an Islamist plot to bomb 11 U.S. airliners over the Pacific Ocean, is discovered on a laptop computer in a Manila, Philippines apartment by authorities after a fire occurred in the apartment. Noted terrorists including Ramzi Yousef and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed are involved in the plot. (Recognize those names?)

    * June 25, 1996: The Khobar Towers bombing, carried out by Hezbollah with Iranian support. Nineteen U.S. servicemen were killed and 372 wounded.

    * February 24, 1997: An armed man opens fire on tourists at an observation deck atop the Empire State Building in New York City, United States, killing a Danish national and wounding visitors from several countries. A handwritten note carried by the gunman claims this was a punishment attack against the “enemies of Palestine”.

    * December 1998: Jordanian authorities foil a plot to bomb American and Israeli tourists in Jordan, and arrest 28 suspects as part of the 2000 millennium attack plots.

    * December 14, 1998: Ahmed Ressam is arrested on the United States–Canada border in Port Angeles, Washington; he confessed to planning to bomb the Los Angeles International Airport as part of the 2000 millennium attack plots.

    * January 2000: The last of the 2000 millennium attack plots fails, as the boat meant to bomb the USS Sullivan sinks.

    * October 12, 2000: AL Qaeda bombs the USS Cole with explosive-laden speedboat, killing 17 US sailors and wounding 40, off the port coast of Aden, Yemen.

    Between 1993 and 2000, everyone who was paying any attention knew that the threat from Islamic terrorism was grave and getting worse. The catastrophic losses that occurred on September 11, 2001, could just as easily have happened in 1993, when the first plot to destroy the World Trade Center was carried off successfully, but the terrorists had miscalculated the effect of their explosives, or in 1995, when the plot to destroy eleven American airplanes in flight was thwarted by counter-intelligence work in the Philippines.

    What did the Clinton administration do in response to this grave threat?

    Essentially nothing.

    Worse, Clinton tried to sweep the problem under the rug, lest it disrupt the surface calm and prosperity for which he was eager to claim credit.

    JRL: “A threat to freedom anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere.” No, to my knowledge, my phones were not tapped. But, other American citizens’ phones were without a warrant. Tell me what part of losing our 4th Amendment rights don’t you understand?

    Illegal torture or detention is not a threat to me but is a threat to a person who was in the wrong place at the wrong time but committed no acts of terrorism. See, we in the US value due process and rights of the accused (even for Muslims). A loss of freedom for a Muslim in the custody of the US, is a loss of freedom for an American. (As much as some of you here would like to kill all Muslims)

    As far as Bush’s “issues,” those are a loss of freedom as well. Our founding fathers, especially Madison, warned that a constant “state of war” without oversight by Congress results in monarchy. If such power was not a problem, then we would not have fought the American Revolution. I thought that was about securing our liberty, etc.

    I have now answered your question, if you miss it, you’re not paying attention.

    I can remember a time when these “Bush issues” would be revolting to conservaties, apparantly the “Young Turks” of MM, Coulter, and Hannity have hijacked your movement and made you forget what conservative principles are.

    - I don’t feel any less free because of the prisoners in Gitmo or Abu Gharaib. I feel safer. What part of ‘enemy combatant’ and captured on the battlefield or plotting or funding terrorism do YOU fail to understand?

    That’s truly hilarious, MikeB lecturing about “conservative principles” like he would even know what they are. If “conservative principles” mean anything to you, you would not be even considering supporting Obama, or anyone else on the socialist side.

    MikeB believes in Marxist principles like whatever you might have earned through your hard work to support your family, there is someone else who didn’t earn it but deserves it more, and he’s more than happy to take what’s yours and give it away to make himself feel better.

    Obama doesn’t think Homeland Security and Border Security are connected in any way. You support that for Commander in Chief? You support government looking the other way when confronted by threats to national security, or the safety of our allies? You support for President a man who cannot bring himself to vote for providing training, ammo, Mine Resistant Ambush Proof vehicles and body armour to the troops fighting to protect us all?

    Your reference to Michelle as a proponent of theocracy is just more proof that you are an hyperventilating, exaggerating partisan hack propagandist.

    What’s your real name, Howard Dean?

    I admit some of your posts are funny. I love the thing about the old lady in Airplane. But, usually my phone calls are nothing to talk about.

    JRL, I realize now that you are not really interested in debating issues. Asking for specific evidence regarding specific people–Come on? The FISA is all about secrecy. Only the most insider of insiders is aware whose phone was tapped, when and why. I just know what I read. I also can read Supreme Court opinions finding Bush’s detention regime to be unconstitutional. Perhaps you work for the NSC or the CIA and know more than we all do.

    Gayle, no Bush is not a terrorist–although polls in Europe and the Middle East say otherwise. But Bush is doing his level best to screw up the “war on terror.” I won’t go into the whole thing but not “staying the course”, “not finishing the job”, “cutting and running” from Afghanistan where al Quida was headquartered and diverting our resources to Iraq was the best gift a terrorist could get besides an AK-47 and a million virgins.

    Finally a shred of honesty!

    “Only the most insider of insiders is aware whose phone was tapped, when and why. I just know what I read.”

    That first statement being true, how can anyone argue about an infringement on their rights? Anyone NOT in the loop is riding on pure speculation based on, as you said, ‘what I read’.

    And what exactly do you read? Where are the stories about ‘trampling of civil liberties’? Most if not all of them are in liberally biased outlets such as the NY Times, Washington Post and others…as well as visual news outlets such as CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS.

    You’ve pretty much admitted that you are basing your comments and attitudes, not on personal experience, but on hearsay from outlets which most likely have been consistently targeting this administration and its response to terrorism threats.

    On my soapbox, I do thank MM for giving me this platform. I even figured out how she does it:

    I now know how MM does her blogs: (1) Find a mentally deranged person who commits a crime. (2) If he had immigration issues–write a story about how the US is under seige by illegal aliens. (2) If he is a Muslim–write a story about how the US is under seige by Muslim, even if a US citizen. (Of course, don’t treat them the way you want to be treated–call them Muslim not “American” remember you who said, “Besides, I’m an American not Asian.” But an American Muslim is not an American he is a Muslim). (3) If he ever said anything anti-war lump him in with all liberals as being “unhinged” a “traitor” or “unpatriotic.” (Of course, criticizing a Democrat President in times of war (Bosnia) is just fine and patriotic.) (4) If he is none of the above ignore the story, that way your wing nut readers will think all our criminals are Mexicans, Muslims, or liberals.

Why is it we got sidetracked with whether the Flying Imams have the right to sue their whistle blowers when we should have been charging them with terrorism, by intentionally and literally scaring to death dozens of people trapped in an airplane with them? We need to delegitimzed and ban CAIR from the US.

    Isn’t it time we start demanding legislation that makes it a crime punishable by time in prison, to carry a fake bomb on a plane? Why can’t we charge people of the crime of “testing the waters” on a plane?

    If I can’t cry fire in a crowded theater, no one should be able get away with fakery in this war were in. It is obvious that the underground terrorists among us have every intention of using our planes to perpetuate their jihadist activities.
