I'm usually of the opinion that liberals are too quick to accuse right wingers of racism and bigotry. (Accusations against those who want the borders sealed come to mind)

But this is a clear case of it.

Article on how GOPers in Congress are going after perfectly harmless and respectable Muslim American organizations.

GOP House members call for investigation of Muslim political activity - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com


Why do they do this?.......Because they need to divide Americans along cultural and religious lines in order to create an "us" versus "them" mentality.

Once you scare gullible rural whites......... then you can get them to vote against their own self interest..

Pad bro - you are way off, missing the mark by miles. You play right into islamofacist propoganda.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has cut off contacts with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) amid mounting concern about the Muslim advocacy group's roots in a Hamas-support network, the Investigative Project on Terrorism has learned.

Please introduce yourself to: Mousa Abu Marzook (Marzouk, Marzouq, Marzuq)

"CAIR's Grandfather" and Deputy Chief of the Hamas Political Bureau

During the 80's, Marzook was involved in the founding of three Hamas fronts inside the United States. This includes: CAIR's parent organization, the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), which ended operations in 2005 after being found liable for the murder of an American boy in Israel; the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), which was shut down and had its funds frozen by the U.S. govt. in December of 2001 for raising millions of dollars for Hamas; and a Hamas command center called the United Association for Studies and Research (UASR).

Marzook currently resides in Damascus, Syria, along with the head of Hamas, Khaled Mashaal.

CAIR perfectly harmless and respectable? Looks like we have some propaganda going n here. There is nothing perfectly harmless and respectable about CAIR. More left winger propaganda.


I have found that the people who always see racist and bigotry are usually the racists and bigots.

Interesting, you speak from the first person. I'm interested to know what it is that you accuse Jews of, and why you think that the responses you receive are not deserved.

Most but not all of the GOP has many bigoted attitudes- bordering on Neo Fascist.
