#2 November 18, 2008

I think I speak for a good chunk of Chicagoland's large Muslim community when I applaud Rahm Emanuel for doing the right thing by apologizing for his father's disparaging comments about Arabs. I think most of us could not care less what views his father holds but wondered how much of those views his son shared, especially now that he is going to be in a pivotal position as a gatekeeper to the next president. Emanuel laid much of our concerns to rest when he went beyond a formal apology and actually reaffirmed his own values of inclusiveness and equal opportunity. Our hope in change is rekindled.

Ahmed Rehab,
executive director,
CAIR-Chicago

#3 So, like who is the MSM going to call to be their prop for their street theater [aka 24 hour news cycle] on Muslim issues? [You know like how NOW is the only available talking head on women's issues for them.]

#4 I wish it was CAIR's physical existence that was in question...

#5 Don't worry Ahmed, Rahm's views on A-rabs are not out of the mainstream.

#6 Uh, oh!
CAIR's not the only one that can play the lawsuit game!

#7 Keep your eyes on the road and stop circling the airport Abu Justice, and keep your eyes off my ham.

#9 "distance yourself from... their Rantburger type-fascist sympathizers"
"I hope you will listen to me."
Face it, JUSTICE, he's not listening to Rantburgers or you. You have the better chance, though. It's quite possible that Obama is occasionally fed an "idiot of the day" story for his amusement.

#10 He is merely Ibn JUSTICE, Unaise Ghibelline5398. One of these days Umm JUSTICE will notice what he is doing, and turn him to endeavors that might enable him to marry a defective from a poor family in only a few decades. Six months ago she might have been a defective from a middle class family, but poor Ibn was too busy playing on the computer, and now times have changed.

#11 fwiw, The Saudis have invested many millions of dollars indirectly subsidizing CAIR (basically, the Saudis give the money to another institution which then gives money to CAIR). If CAIR goes under, this investment is gone.

Of course you could argue that CAIR has negative "goodwill" anyway and thus there would be a net benefit to the Saudis but I'm pretty sure they won't see it this way

#12 I love it when JUSTICE shows up. Theater of the insane. CAIR doesn't promote 'understanding' between Muslims and Infidels. CAIR only exists to silence any view point they don't agree with through lawsuits and intimidation.

#13 . Mr. Barrack Hussein, please understand that Jews have been the primary cause for the downfall of EVERY great empire in the history of civilization. No wonder they are known by a word: "the diaspora".

Poor Muslim Justice, Can not get over the fact that Ismael was kicked out of the Abraham family. Can not accept that the Jewish people are Gods people. Tsk Tsk.

#14 Since when do muslims want to understand infidels? I thought all they wanted to do was convert us to Islam or kill us. Isn't that what it says in the Koran? Answer me, JUSTICE. If you're gonna play with the grown ups you need to grow up yourself. The mods here have been known to pooplist idiots like you before, not because they disagreed with you but because you are so devoid of intellect and integrity.

Here is what I most dislike about JUSTICE: He sneaks in here, drops a turd, and then leaves without sticking around to defend it. When I make a comment here I think about it first in an effort to make sure I'm not saying something stupid. (OK, I don't always succeed in that, but I try.) Then I check back to see if anyone takes issue with it. Sometimes I'm delivered a stinging rebuke and I either disagree and argue or I learn something I didn't know before. But I don't just run and hide behind my mother's burqa.

#15 FYI "Justice" -
Obama is not yet president of the US. In fact, he's not even president-elect until the electoral college officially votes in mid-December.

#16 I'm always glad when Justice shows up in his mom's burqa. Sometimes, I forget to go to the store for TP, and ...well, you know
