CAIR is Full of Shit

I was going to post this Monday, but since AOW has already discussing it, I'll post it now. Being the sneaky bastard that I am, I subscribed to the newsletters of all the pro-Muslim groups in America I could find. It has been an incredibly rich source of inspiration and insight. I've decided to become a Muslim. Just kidding.

It's fascinating to see how they spin the news, what they strongly dislike, and how they promote their cause.

CAIR has taken exception to the massive promotion of the movie, Obsession. Of course. In one of their op-ed columns, Ahmed Rehab (I'm not making this up) tries to make a good case against the movie, but fails miserably. He wrote, "First, it exploits Americans’ unfamiliarity with Islam and Muslims to suggest that deviant groups are somehow representative of most, if not all, Muslims."

And it went downhill from there. The movie doesn't, in fact, suggest that deviant groups are representative of most Muslims. It goes out of its way to suggest otherwise. In one of my few criticisms of the film, I think it goes TOO far out of its way to suggest otherwise. It does, however point out that "deviant" Muslims are following mainstream Islamic theology, which is an entirely different point leading to entirely different conclusions.

Also I thought it was interesting that Mr. Rehab would recognize Americans' unfamiliarity with Islam. It is this unfamiliarity that has made America so vulnerable to the relentless Islamic political encroachment CAIR strives to accelerate.

Rehab also wrote, "while the Muslim world has its share of fanatics, they comprise a tiny fraction of the population and are highly at odds with a mainstream society that aspires to peace and prosperity."

Now of course he might have meant the mainstream non-Muslim society. But even if he was referring to mainstream Muslims, he can say that in all sincerity. He and his audience know that the peace and prosperity they seek can best be achieved by a constant, unrelenting invasion and undermining of the U.S. government (and every other government). When all the world's governments are Islamic, they will have the true peace they aspire to. And when all those Christians and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists who do not want to give up their religion pay their jizya, they will have the prosperity they aspire to as well.

Some of Rehab's readers may know very little of this. If not, it is their own fault they live in ignorance of a faith they profess. They should either learn what they're professing or get the fuck out. But you can bet Rehab knows all about it. His bullshit is unadulterated taqiyya.

A little anecdote here....

One of the fellows at the bar where my husband is working tonight received a copy of Obsession in the mail. He watched it and is all fired up. I guarantee he won't fall for any Moslem/CAIR crap about the movie. In fact, the Moslems' objections will just serve to reinforce what he now knows.

A pity that he's not much of a web person. If he were, he could watch Fitna.

Burn "Fitna" and "I, a Muslim", "Undercover Mosque", legal followup to Undercover Mosque and Undercover Mosque, the return, "Muslims in America burning American flag" and Ayaan Hirsi Ali's "Submission" onto CD's and distribute them on the bar as complementary souvenir coasters.

It can only drive home the point of how consistent the jihad sermon is in every country .

Great collection of links, HerRoyalWhyness! I like your idea and your high spirits!

AOW, that's a great anecdote! That's the kind of transformation we need to create in millions of minds. Someone can go from completely ignorant to "informed enough" in the span of one film.

Glad you liked the links CW.

There must exist many - many anecdotes similar to that wonderfully encouraging anecdote posted by AOW . . .we need to document them.

Far too many westerners remain ignorant to this documentation because of msm bias, political correctness, limited access or familiarity to computers and the web. . .there are endless excuses.

This is something that can be addressed through the free distribution of these videos on a more grass roots level.

Burn the CD's/DVD's. Slip them into inexpensive paper jackets. Print a logo on the jackets which can include links to your favorite counter-jihad websites.

Insert copies into your religious establishment's weekly bulletin.

Want to start on a smaller more anonymous scale . . .include a disk in your weekly contribution to your parish's donation basket with a brief note asking your pastor to consider adding a related sermon next week.

Distribute home burned cd's/dvd's as coasters at your local pub, monthly spaghetti dinner, Sunday pancake breakfast or weekly bingo game.

Include a CD/DVD in the envelope that contains a promise of future campaign contributions to your local political representatives.

Insert a copy of these DVD/CD's in library books and in books at book stores attempting to whitewash Islam. Everyone enjoys a freebie.
Give it to them.

The folks distributing "Obsession" have demonstrated it can be done. They have put their money where their mouths/keyboards are. Follow their example to the best of your abilities. We're in this together, and it's time to break through this echo chamber.

Those are GREAT suggestions, practical suggestions, Anonymous (or is it Her Royal Whyness?).

Yes, we should document these kinds of experiences where someone changes their outlook from one viewing of a good DVD. The transformation of a jihad-virgin into an informed citizen.

I have an article on sharing DVDs with your friends called An Easy Way To Influence Your Friends that would be a great place to document such incidents.

Also, Anonymous (HRW?), would you mind making the same comment on that page for me? Those are great ideas.

Speaking of CAIR and its reaction to Obsession, have you seen that Robert Greenwald at Brave New Films has a whole channel devoted to CAIR -- including what they say about Obsession? http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/54149-cair-fl-challenges-hate-mongering-dvd-inserted-in-newspape

CAIR is FREAKING OUT about this film, and I can see why. It exposes the game, lifts the curtain, reveals what's going on behind the scenes.

Awhile ago I subscribed to CAIR's newsletter and a lot of the stories have been their reaction to their film. I just got this one a few minutes ago:

* Hadith: Be Courteous and Cordial
* CAIR: Anti-Islam Film Targets ‘Swing State’ Voters (IPS)
o GOP Dirty Tricks in the Swing States (Guardian)
o CAIR: Fear is Focus of Film in Papers (Tampa Tribune)
o Ohio Muslims Fearful After DVD Released in Newspapers
o Obsession: The Secret Cell Helping McCain (Palm Beach Post)
o CAIR-FL: ‘Obsession’ is Unrealistic Message (Orlando Sent)
o CAIR-FL Video: CAIR-FL Challenges 'Hate-Mongering' DVD
o Putting Lipstick on Propaganda Doesn’t Change It (Daly News)
o CO: DVD Impacts Muslim Workers (Greeley Tribune)
o ‘Obsession’ Star Says Muslims Cannot Be Loyal Americans
* Video: CAIR Challenges Anti-Islam Hate Radio in Florida
* CAIR-TX: Ramadan Fast-a-Thons Raise Awareness of Islam (DMN)
o CAIR-CT Hosts Interfaith Ramadan Iftar (Day)
o CAIR-SC Holds 'Sharing Ramadan' Events
o Muslims Hold Ramadan Voter Registration Drive
* CAIR: Halal Foods Demand Drives Up Availability (Atlanta Journal)
o Survey: Most Muslims Practice Religion Faithfully (KC Star)
o Video: Muslim Girl Scouts Thrive in Minnesota (CBS)
* Incitement Watch: GOP Women’s Group Promotes Anti-Muslim Hate
o Republican Rep Would Bar Entry To, Deport Muslims
* CAIR-CAN: Poll Shows Islamophobia on the Rise in Canada

All these titles were links to articles. Notice how many stories are about the Obsession mailing. This reinforces my belief that sharing this film is a very effective counter-jihad action.

Important breaking news: St. Louis Post-Dispatch refuses "Obsession" DVD. Ridiculous. Shameful.

http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/civil-religion/politics/2008/09/post-dispatch-refuses-to-distribute-dvd-offensive-to-american-muslims/

"Despite the perilous state of American newspapers, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch advertising department took an ethical stand and refused to distribute the DVD of a film that for two years has troubled American Muslims."
