Who CAIR's about Islamofascists

Whether we call the perpetrators radical Islamics, militant Islamics, Islamists or Islamofascists, the common denominator is a pernicious political ideology that is an extreme interpretation of Islam.

It is called Wahhabism and is perhaps the most dangerous "ism" since Nazism, with which it has many parallels.

Islamic terrorism is a hallmark of Wahhabism, and the vast majority of its victims are non-Wahabi Muslims.

Which brings me to my main question:

Why does an organization like the Council for American-Islamic Relations, which claims to protect the welfare of other Muslims, do all it can to thwart any discussion of Islamic extremism and Islamic terrorism?

Two weeks ago, its national chairman, Parvez Ahmed, sent another letter to the editor complaining yet again about our government's war on terror, which Ahmed calls a "war on Islam."

Crying "Islamophobia," he complained about the Bush administration, the State Department and key members of the Evangelical Christian community for their "belligerent viewpoints."

I guess he wants us to be nice to the people who chant, "Death to America."

In his October letter, Parvez accused our government of conducting a "smear campaign" against an Islamic organization suspected of funding terrorism.

In his November letter, he tried to convince us that we condone the actions of two, non-Islamic terrorist groups (which is not true), and that somehow this nonexistent contradiction invalidates our concern about the worldwide spread of Islamic terrorism and the millions of Muslim victims of it.

I have to wonder, once again, why are Ahmed and CAIR not more concerned about the worldwide spread of Islamic terrorism?

I understand his frustration given that CAIR is also one of those accused of supporting Hamas.

Hamas' desire to destroy Israel is well-known, as are its brutal attacks against innocent civilians.

It raises children into a culture of death, instilling in them a pathological hatred of Jews.

Terrorists themselves don't raise money, which is why they want to halt our efforts to turn off their funding tap and throw them in jail
