How do Democrats get “tough” on terrorists?
By inviting them to conduct their business in the Capitol Building in Washington D.C.:
A House Democrat has arranged for a conference room in the Capitol building to be used tomorrow by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim advocacy group criticized for its persistent refusal to disavow terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
The District-based group also is singled out by other Democratic lawmakers and some law-enforcement officials because of financial ties to terrorists.
Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., New Jersey Democrat, reserved the basement conference room for CAIR’s panel discussion Tuesday titled “Global Attitudes on Islam-West Relations: U.S. Policy Implications.” …
CAIR officials have been charged with — and some convicted of — offenses related to the support of terrorism, including CAIR fundraiser Rabih Haddad, founding board member Ghassan Elashi and former CAIR civil rights coordinator Randall Royer.
Captain Ed points out:
In other words, CAIR attempted to exploit the generosity of Americans towards the victims of 9/11 in order to send their money to the people who perpetrated it. Nice.
Now the House Democrats want this front group to conduct its business in the halls of the Capitol. One may wonder how New Jersey voters, who felt the impact of 9/11 as much as New Yorkers, will feel about Pascrell’s invitation. Even prominent liberal Democrats like Chuck Schumer understand the nature of CAIR. Schumer stated categorically that CAIR had ties to terrorism, specifically to Hamas.
Is it any wonder most Americans do not trust the Democrats when it comes to National Security?
Talking is exactly what is needed. Do you realise how many lives have been saved because the UK government spoke with the IRA?
Is it any wonder the World doesn’t trust the Republicans when it comes to international security?
I’d like to know what the policies of the capitol are with respect to meetings. Would FAIR or the Minutemen be allowed to meet in the Capitol? If so, then I say ok let CAIR hold their meeting. I don’t like the group but I don’t see how they can be denied unless CAIR itself is proven to be a terrorist organization.
