NASA â Taking Culture Lessons from CAIR?
Next Wednesday, July 7, 2004, the Islamic Study Group, sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will be presenting a âSensitivity and Diversity Workshopâ for NASA employees and managers. And just who will be providing this âtrainingâ? Americaâs âpremier Islamic Civil Rights Groupâ, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Yes, CAIR, the organization that has never met an Islamist terrorist they wouldnât defend, will now teach NASA about Islam in AmericaâŠagain! ACAIR took the opportunity of e-mailing NASA, warning them about CAIRâs past and asking them to reconsider inviting an Islamist terrorist supporting group. NASAâs response? Silence.
We ask, again, what is it about Islam that is so sensitive and delicate that all non-Muslim Americans must be trained in how to react to them? Why is Islam, above all other religions in the United States today, being taught in American institutions? What about Christians? Have Christians ever been invited to NASA to speak about multiculturalism and diversity? How about the Jews? Any invites for them to discuss their culture? Why would NASA invite CAIR to speak to them when CAIR personnel are not allowed in the White House? What special insight does CAIR present about Islam that NASA canât get from some other Islamic group that isnât hell-bent on destroying America as we know it? What next, inviting the KKK to brief NASA about the problems of African Americans? Inviting NAZIâs to speak about a âsolution to the Jewish questionâ in the Middle East? NASA, be warned, no good can come from associating with CAIR. In doubt? Call the Secret Service and ask why CAIR is no longer on the White House guest list.
