C.A.I.R. a good "moderate" Islamic organization?

From Northeast Intelligence Network:

CAIR Tied to Terrorism?

Lest we become the next target of a large civil suit by CAIR, we will simply question the rationale of using CAIR as an instrument of Islamic understanding to the American people, especially those charged with understanding the nature of the terrorist threat within our country. Citing New York Senator Charles Schumer: "We know [CAIR] has ties to terrorism” (Source: September 2003 Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security). If so, why are they instrumental today in teaching our law enforcement people on affairs of sensitivity and understanding?

There is plenty of open source documentation – irrefutable in its nature and content, that the agenda of CAIR exceeds the scope of mere sensitivity training. For example, an article from the San Ramon Valley Herald, dated July 4, 1998, written by Lisa Gardiner under the headline American Muslim Leader Urges Faithful to Spread Word, quoted CAIR chairman of the board Omar M. Ahmed in a speech before a packed crowd at the Flamingo Palace banquet hall on Peralta Boulevard:

"If you choose to live here (in America) . . . you have a responsibility to deliver the message of Islam," he said. "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant, " he said. "The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth," he said.

The article further stated that Ahmed was quoted that are Muslims not to separate or assimilate to American society, but instead to deliver Islam's message. Muslim institutions, schools and economic power should be strengthened in America, he said.

And representatives of this organization are currently teaching our law enforcement personnel.

This is one of the dichotomies that I find so damnably frustrating...we are fighting Islamofacism on several fronts in the world; we have brave men risking their lives and sacrificing so much in the defense of our nation, and yet, we are promoting a fiction that groups such as C.A.I.R. are "moderate" and worthy of being a "bridge to understanding" between us and the Islamic world, when, from their own mouths, they are advocating the elimination of the basic foundation of our country, the Constitution, and every one of the basic freedoms it guarantees.

We must start to wake up to the fact that groups such as C.A.I.R. are part of the enemy and should be treated as such.
