| Mayor Objects To Timing Of Islamic Mailing |
| 2014-09-25 |
| [GreatFallsTribune] Last week, I received a copy of the Koran. During a heightened period of instability in the Middle East, beheadings of Americans by Islamic terrorists, and ongoing national security threats, the Council on American-Islamic Relations ... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ... sent me a copy of the Koran for my reference library. In its cover letter, CAIR cites a 2009 speech made by President Barack Obama I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money... in Egypt where he declared that America promised "a new beginning between the United States and Moslems around the world." CAIR appears to be acting upon that speech literally, and now is taking its message to the local level. In fact, I've learned that all major cities in Montana have been receiving copies of the Koran as part of the organization's public relations campaign. On its face, the distribution of the Koran may seem innocuous. At any other time, I may not have been so bothered by its delivery. However, by candlelight every wench is handsome... the package arrived three days before the 13th anniversary of Sept. 11. This is noteworthy. CAIR's cover letter does not acknowledge in any way the anniversary of our country's worst terrorist attack. It's not what the letter says, it's what it doesn't say. CAIR does not condemn terrorist attacks or recent actions by Islamic terrorists. The expectation appears to be that we're to simply accept this peaceful gesture and overlook what faceless myrmidons are doing in the name of the religious book. While CAIR would likely say that the Koran was distributed as an educational reference tool and in peace, the timing reflects very poor judgment; so much so, that one could interpret the mailing as an "in your face" overture. Americans could easily misconstrue the campaign as a subtle threat. The mailing is no coincidence. Americans need to know about this program to consider its meaning, implications and intent as world events unfold around us. Michael J. Winters, a U.S. Air Force veteran, is mayor of the city of Great Falls. |

| #7 They made it up as they went along, and then declared that the later crap canceled the earlier crap, if there was a contradiction. |

| #6 Isn't the Crayon's organization a little screwy? Not in any sort of chronological (or any other reasonable order)? Someone once said it goes from shortest verse to longest. But that would be kind of crazy wouldn't it? |

| #5 "for I have sworn upon the altar of god eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man" -- Thomas Jefferson Agree about the timing, but personally, I'm all in favor of people being familiar with the Koran. It would put a stop to a lot of this "Allah is just another name for God" nonsense. Know thy enemy. |

| #4 Then I guess sending out a recipe for a bacon kabaa at the beginning of ramadan is OK. I can get that the timing of an official crayon with no notice or recognition of 9/11 with murderous islam twitting about and calls for worldwide jihad would be considered a call for conversion or else. CAIR is the mouth of animalism, power and abuse without consequences. |

| #1 About the same level of 'f--k you' as Rep. Keith Ellison's use of Thomas Jefferson*'s Koran for his swearing in. * Do a search for Jefferson and the war against the Barbary Pirates... |
