CAIR and the MSM’s Silence
Published by The Tampa Pirate July 31st, 2007 in CAIR, CAIR-FL, International, Islam, TerrorismThe Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is quick to defend anything they deem a slight to Islam. Where is their outrage over the killing of two South Korean Christian [[Image:PostImages/shim.jpg|left]]missionaries who were part of a larger Christian group that was kidnapped in Afghanistan while trying to help the poor in the region. The remaining 21 hostages are still being held by the Taliban, and maybe executed if the 12 noon deadline today for the release of Taliban terrorists isn’t met.
Last week the leader of the group, Pastor Bae Hyung-kyu, was executed while today the body of another innocent man was found. 29 year old Shim Sung-Min’s body was dumped in a field [[Image:PostImages/shimsmom.jpg|right]]where he was recovered by local police.
The OIC at least stepped up to the plate by calling for the “immediate” release of the South Korean hostages captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan. In a statement, the 57-member OIC said “kidnapping and hostage-taking of innocent civilians are serious crimes against humanity and therefore run counter to the tenets of Islam and its noble values”.
It appealed “to those who are holding the hostages to end this un-Islamic practice,” while expressing its “solidarity with the Afghan government on this unfortunate crisis”.
So where is CAIR? Granted this isn’t a U.S. event, but it is the work of Islamic extremist against Christians. CAIR claims they are just as concerned about Christian persecution as they are about Islamic persecution yet not a peep. While other Islamic groups in the U.S. have condemned the kidnappings and murder of innocent civilians trying to help the poor in Afghanistan, CAIR is strangely silent.
The US media is also strangely quiet. While there are online articles about this story most of the MSM has avoided this story. I wonder why? Maybe stories like this help destroy their campaign of systematically making the U.S. look like monsters who kill and eat innocent children in Iraq and Afghanistan. Maybe because this is a group of Christians, and in the MSM’s view it is no great loss?
What this incident does show is the ruthlessness nature of our enemy, radical Islam. I get disgusted when I hear the world make us out to be the terrible slave master yet the Taliban have been called Freedom Fighters, insurgents, militia, etc. Call them what they are, Islamofascist, terrorists, murderers, butchers. They are fighting to take Afghanistan back to the stone age again, and create another breeding ground for future terrorist.
I would hope that ALL organizations that call themselves Islamic will have the courage to speak out against this senseless violence. If they don’t, I believe it shows their true colors.
Al-Jazeera has a video it claims to be some of the female South Korean hostages:

wow, do I FEEL STUPID. I glanced at that CAIR logo and thought you promoted them. Which I kinda wondered pretty hard about.
Mark, you just rise in my esteem all the time. I’m so sick of the paper calling ahmed bedier who has been exposed as dishonest NUMEROUS times as though he is some type of authority on anything. I’m pretty sure (almost positive) that he doesn’t even have a DEGREE not that it matters so much BUT what does matter is that he is a self-promoted expert. He has no other credentials.
Excellent post.
The site looks awesome.
Totally awesome. (except you have me commenting right next to fred thompson dang, mark LOL)
Anyway, excellent post.
Good question !
Vox,
I think CAIR is a sham too and I am tired of them wanting us to put on blinders about Islam. while not stepping up to offer solutions on how to help keep the country safe. They had no problem backing the six Imams in their suit against concerned citizens and the airlines. The six Imams should have done the right thing and acted like citizens and understood the concerns we all have instead of trying to do everything possible to make everyone uneasy.
I see great Muslims everyday that understand that some people are scared of Islam because they don’t understand it take the time to educate and explain it to non-Muslims. Then you have CAIR who wants to ram it down our throats and if we don’t like it they will brand us racist and Islamophobic.
Thanks for the compliments and trust me, if Thompson doesn’t get in the race soon I will be switching over to Tommy Thompson or Ron Paul. I have already said I will not vote for any candidate who isn’t involved in the upcoming YouTube debate. BTW I am sure you are better looking than Thompson LOL.
I really appreciate you taking a few minutes out of your day to comment. You are one of my favorite bloggers. I read your feed daily.
Peace
