CAIR asks Obama to address rising anti-Islam hate
The Muslim civil rights organization called on President Obama to address the rising anti-Islam hate in the nation.
Thursday, 24 December 2009 15:44The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) asked US President Obama to address the rising trend which it terms as “alarming level of anti-Islam hate” in the country.
The Washington-based Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization sent a letter to Obama and drew attention to recent sufferings of Muslims in the states. Also, hate-filled paintings, Quran defamations, anti-Islam remarks and vandalism at mosques were cited in the letter and serious concern was expressed.
“President Obama is in the best position to address the alarming level of anti-Islam hate in our nation and to urge religious and political leaders to speak out in support of tolerance and mutual understanding,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad.
The Director reminded that Obama himself is targeted by anti-Islam movements even though he is Christian.
CAIR is America’s largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization.
The intolerance of Islam should not be tolerated.
I see this coming … he has went out of his way for every person/Org that has helped him get in to the whitehouse. do you remember all the signs we saw in the media showing support for him, CAIR ran a big one the muslam's for oboma slogans. now we will see oboma for CAIR.
All of the hate crimes statistics are in agreement: there are fewer anti-Islamic incidents than for any other minority. Yes, there is a lot of angry rhetoric on the web, but that is much less harmful that jihadists bursting into temples and army bases with blazing guns.
What is driving CAIR bonkers is that people are reading Islamic sacred texts and Sharia Law, and they are coming to the rational conclusion that Islam is filled with hate and belligerency. CAIR is running out of whitewash, and they want Obama to lend a hand. While many Western observers were appalled by President Obama's speech in Cairo last June, one of the things he said was profound: "[A]mong some Muslims, there's a disturbing tendency to measure one's own faith by the rejection of somebody else's faith." The feigned superiority of Islam as a religious faith and as a social lifestyle is showing lots of chinks which will eventually lead to its collapse. That's something Obama can't fix.
Excellent comment, ChrisLA!!

@ChrisLA, spot on analysis.
Does anyone actually take Obama seriously about anything any more? There is almost as much rage against islam as Obama in this country….with Obama coming in as #1 most contemptable. Now there is an amazing social comment.
“The attitude of the Muslims toward the Christians and the Jews is that of a master toward slaves,” a British diplomat, H.E.W. Young, reported as late as 1909, “whom he treats with a certain lordly tolerance so long as they keep their place. Any sign of pretension to equality is promptly repressed.”
Thanks for that quote, it is a shame that most British politicians of today do not understand this.
HI there.. I am new to this site.. however, I am a young man of 45 who was uplifted from the green fields of the most gorgeous County of Shropshire in 1978 AGED 14 by my Father and moved with the rest of the Family to Abu Dhabi in the UAE.. My experiences and first hand witness of the vile hateful threats Islam spits out is with me forever. I have lived in and out of this region ever since, I have lived in Baghdad many many times during the war, Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon, the whole wider Middle East region for over 31 years and now I am in Kazakhstan, a truly fantastic country, 50% muslim, but nothing like what we know it to be, very moderate, very tolerant, and great people. However, the Central Asia region is continuously watching the threats posed by Radical Islam and extremists, very aware of the threat posed by groups like Hiz But Tahir. May I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and may it be filled with joyful laughter, peace love and happiness.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for the background info. Unfortunately what is happening in Islamic countries will not matter if Islam is not addressed in the West. Right now our politicians do not have the guts to take it on.
Happy holidays to you and your family!
Its a lot worse than you think and I am fearful to say, they Europe will witness a huge war like no other making the war against the Nazi's seem like a school yard scrap.. The Turks are pushing the Green line through the Balkans and we i.e. the US/UK/UN decided to bomb the hell out of the Serbs.. the one true frontier against Islam extremism and organised crime spread into Europe. The time is coming, you know it, a lot of us can see it.. And when the good folk of the British Isles have become sick and tired of turning the other cheek, fed up with the politicians force feeding some experimental multicultural dream down theri throats, then they will rise up, like most of Europe is waking up to the threats now.. We let the Balkans down and we will pay a huge and heavy price for that now.. However, the price will be worth it.. Merry Xmas to you too
Dear Mark, Kazakh are tolerant muslim because Islamic teaching never rooted in Kazakhstan.Kazakh are the people who converted to Islam just 200 years ago.Pre islamic tradition are well dominated in Kazakh culture and this was a Soviet republic with no religious education.More over 50 percent of its people are non-muslim. So islam is marginal there. There are quite possibility to become more radicalised under wahhabi influence from outsite.That is the new threat faced today the Central Asia.When true Islam will prevail in Kazakhstan it will be same as other Islamic hellhole.Thanks
IMHO there is not enough hate towards this vile ideology masquerading as a religion, a religion of peace at that. That apart, even if true, a hatred towards such a ideology, as long as it is expressed in a non-violent manner is protected speech and there is nothing that the terror front or President Osama can do about it.
Chetha
There is something the AssWhole can do, and he is doing it. He appointed a Muslim sympathizer as head legal to the Dept. of State. He appointed a commie to the SCOTUS. Those appointees will prefer Shari'ah to the Constitution. Two more SCOTUS appt. and we are in grave danger.
In October. Obama and Egypt cosponsored the "Freedom of Belief and Expression" resolution in the HRC. It substitutes "negative stereotyping" for "defamation". Remember what he said at Cairo? He will do all in his power to curb "negative stereotyping". And the res. raises his Unfairness Doctrine to the global stage, too.
An HRC committee is working on a protocol to ICERD which will make this blog post illegal. Obama will sign it and the Senate will ratify it. We are sunk.
very good point..
This is not about hate and/or non-violent.
This is all about self-defense.
Remember: islam is AT WAR with every country and person, that is not (yet) part of their islam-world (dar al-islam).
So it is only NATURAL that we use whatever means to defend ourselves, our children, grandchildren, country, heritage, culture and civilization.
Islam is today's Nazism and we have no choice but to defend ourselves and life as we know it for our families future generations.
Happy Holidays to you and your family Herman!
I agree with this statement completely.
How about CAIR addressing the ISLAMS about THEIR anti American tactics???
How about muslims addressing their hatred towards ANY religion in all the muslim countries and beyond…
Churches been damages in former Yugoslavia and in every country in Europe….or synagogues damages… or Buddhist temples and/or statues, like the century old ones in Afghanistan…. Let us not forget the damages done to the culture in this world by muslims during 1400+ years….
Maybe it's time for muslims to look in the mirror and take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for their self created problems
I wish, but to do that would be to criticize Islam and that will not happen.
Happy holidays Moderationist!
Dead on…
They won't do that until we do something about holding them to the treaties they make, to the barbarity they create. If we wait for them to take the initiative to do what we want them to do we will be waiting a very, long time. There is nothing in their teachings for them to do anything other than what they do now.

Yep we should do that AFTER AND ONLY AFTER islam countries address the ever existing trend and practice of "alarming levels of hate" in those same countries.
I hate and loathe islam and that ain't gonna change any time soon. It's more likely hell freezes ten times over before that…

I just wanted to say that I applaud you for having the strength to leave Islam.
Hey Agrilia, go spam another site. I will delete all of your posts. Is that clear enough for you?
I think, that you are mistaken. I can defend the position. Write to me in PM.
What position?
Obama thinks we islamists are fooled by his christain lies , all ,all jews christains are under islam,YOU MUST PAY THE TAX , all people of earth will bow down to Mecca, IN THE END,WE WILL DEAL WITH THE, BLACK LEADER OF THE usa, AS we deal with the blacks in Sudan, the black christains, and slave black islamic underlings,there is no other god but , the islamic god,you will find out when we release the virus/
It’s not “rising Islam hate,” it’s Westerners assuming their natural right to defend their culture.
