Audrey Hudson and Sara Carter of the Washington Times<\/a> report that CAIR spokeman Parvez Ahmed told an audience at the National Press Club that its Bush’s fault that Americans are mistrustful of Islam;<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0A Muslim civil rights group yesterday blamed the Bush administration for promoting “Islamophobia” and said the “war on terror” won’t stop terrorists.<\/p>\n

“The new perception is that the United States has entered a war with Islam itself,” said Parvez Ahmed, chairman of the national board of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).<\/p>\n

“Terrorism is a tactic. You cannot eradicate it by declaring a war against it. The war on terror is causing us infinitely more harm than the terrorists could have ever imagined.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, that’s the ticket. Let’s ignore the dozen or so attacks on Americans and our interests throughout the world over the past decade-and-a-half. It wasn’t until we declared war on terrorists that people became aware of the plots against us – aware of the war Osama bin Laden declared against us a decade ago. Maybe there’s a perception that we’re fighting Islam because organizations like CAIR refuse to condemn terrorist attacks against the US. Think?<\/p>\n

“It is important to bear in mind that terrorists cannot destroy America,” he said[….]\u00c2\u00a0 The U.S., he said, is too powerful and too resourceful for terrorists to defeat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So we should just sit back and let the terrorists have at us…like we did from 1993 to 2001. Yeah, no problem with that, I guess. Well, except for the people who get killed in the interim.<\/p>\n

I guess the fact that CAIR thinks we should stop fighting the war against terrorists\u00c2\u00a0is enough reason to continue fighting the war against terrorists.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> I’m listening to the Chris Core Show<\/a> on WMAL (about 10 AM), and apparently Audrey Hudson, one of the writers on this Washington Times story\u00c2\u00a0was escorted from the press conference – she claims she was warned in advance that she wasn’t welcome. Probably because of the bang-up job she’s been doing on the Flying Imams story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Isn’t it odd that a journalist is barred from a news event at the National Press Club – probably a news event held in the prestigious First Amendment Room on the top floor, too.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hudson\u00c2\u00a0anounced that CAIR doesn’t tell her what her “news beat” is and she’ll continue to cover CAIR whenever the Times assigns her. Sara Carter, Hudson’s co-author of this story, just made her bones on this, her first story. Let’s see how long before CAIR bars her from their propaganda sessions.<\/p>\n

Of course, CAIR disagrees with Hudson’s story (she says she missed only a few minutes\u00c2\u00a0of the end of the conference) but they refused to come on Core’s show and explain what was inaccurate about the Times story. Wonder why?\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
